  1. Hello, I have a problem. I want to buy this block, but it has installed J2 jet plate. Problem is that I want to use it on LGA2066 socket, and EK recommends J3 plate. Unfortunately, I don't have this one. How big difference will it make? I'm kinda in a hurry, and I can either buy this one used or new Alphacool Core XP3. What would you do? What do you think I should do? CPU is i7 7820X and I think it won't be changed for a long time. Also rather no heavy oc. I've bought XSPC Raystorm, but this someone sold me without proper mounts and I can't install it... And worst part is that I have 1.5hrs to make this decision.
  2. Price of both(used) is for me around 36-37USD, both pump/res combo(corsair comes out of the box as a combo, ek has addon dedicated res). Plus I need to but plugs for corsair. Apparently stolen by customer, who bought and returned it But I've found 2nd temp sensor, worthless for me(I won't buy commander, I've got thermaltake fan controller and no need to buy anything else, especially so overprice - for just 1 sensor).
  3. Both for the same price, but there's not much info about DCP. Few mentions, but lack of comparison between this and other ones... DCP has higher static pressure(4m vs 2.1m), same flow, XD5 draws more power and no info about noise - can't compare that. What do you think? Both used, both with res(combo), Corsair has broken RBG(someone desoldered leds -.-), but that's actually better for me - first thing to check for me was is there any possibility of removing rgb . And, to be honest, I have completely no idea... EDIT: If this makes any difference, I'm going soft tubing, probably only CPU and 360mm rad(from Fractal S36).
  4. TBH I don't have money for that at this moment. I've tried to check, while gaming it won't go past 350W and I think that it won't break now, but... I know that I need to replace that. I just wanted to try and check something, since there's no review about this psu. Just may be worth checking how bad it is.
  5. I was testing my psu, listed on tier d but... I ran occt psu test, power consumption - 560W. What should I check to know if it's safe? Voltages are neccesarry, but what else? Home tests, without fake load. Besides that, my X299 mobo provides a lot of voltage and current sensors - anything worth checking there? PS. There aren't any tests for this psu, so internals are a bit of mystery there... Maybe there's something more than producent claims.
  6. Are EK blocks(specifically Supreme LTX) compatible with LGA2066? It's not mounted like typical aio with standoffs(which has different length for 2011 and 2011-3/2066), so I'm wondering...
  7. Could be unusual, but I've played poker without bets, or bets like cleaning dishes
  8. You can replace one and take the rest for ultrasound cleaning and flow measurement. That'll be enough to know their condition Injector has just a coil inside.
  9. I'll have a really hard time to choose - Lian Li O11D or Odyssey X.
  10. I'm curious... In my PC I have a Thermaltake Smart SE and wondering why it's in Tier D, so I've checked spreadsheet. And... there's nothing about test, checking etc. If there's no info about it, why is it at this tier? Maybe it'll be better to add another section, with psu that haven't been tested, like tier n(not tested)? I can make some test from just curiosity, if I'll get my hands to some dummy load.
  11. Only way to fill AIO is by additional res. Been there, done that.
  12. This GPU: https://proline.pl/pny-geforce-rtx-2070-super-8gb-dualfan-p1397223 Has anyone saw water block for this? I've found only one old reddit post... Maybe something has changed since then, I've bough it at december 2019(when prices were normal one, it was very cheap and now I can sell it with nice profit :D) but recently I've thought about including it in my aio loop.
  13. Don't get fooled, most of cad/cam software doesn't use gpu too much. At least Solidworks, Catia or any Autodesk software. I wanted to use my RTX 2070 Super but it won't happen. I don't know why it isn't implemented but it looks like they just don't want to do it.
  14. I've removed few devices(with drivers) that were hidden in device manager - and it behaves a little better; for sure it's less noticeable and maybe drops for few fps less... Maybe I've deleted too much and I haven't checked if one of them helped or everything, but I get rid of i5-4670k, old wireless and Z series chipset devices and drivers(where was it possible). Any idea what else can I do? It'll have more value than few fps here, it'll be better to know something more about windows behavior
  15. I've changed Z97/i5-4670k to X299/i7-7820X and... it stutters. 30-40 fps less for 1-2 seconds - it's noticeable; doesn't make game unplayable, but it's uncomfortable. FPS limit makes it drops 20-30 instead of 30-40. I haven't reinstalled OS, since Windows 10 can handle chipset change without problems. All drivers are up to date. I've tried logging some data with MSI Afterburner, and as far I've noticed... I haven't noticed any change. CPU and GPU temps are rock stable(or CPU usage drops), as well as its(and RAM also) usage. Switching setting that causes most of problems - native mouse cursor - changes nothing, switching to DirectX(I'm using OpenGL graphics engine) changes nothing - software makes it absolutely unplayable, they propably doesn't even know how it's supposed to work 100 fps less at the beginning, but still drops. Any idea what could be causing this problem? PC specs shouldn't be any problem, so I don't even know where to look...
  16. Mostly I look on https://allegro.pl/kategoria/podzespoly-komputerowe-zasilacze-259437 but I can't find english version... Also on any shops website -.- in 2021 but european amazon also should be fine.
  17. Problem is that my current psu, in tier list, is in section D... That's why I'm afraid that it won't handle this. Weird thing is that despite X299 this mobo has 1 8pin cpu power connector, what's kinda weird but also suggests, that it won't draw as much power as standard atx form factor boards.
  18. I've changed my setup from i5-4670k@4.5GHz(slightly raised Vcore only) to X299 Micro + i7-7820X, cooled by AIO Fractal Celsius S36. GPU is RTX 2070 Super, 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, sometimes USB HDD. Now I have Thermaltake Smart SE 630W(it's rather not 80+ version) and I'm afraid that it'll have problems delivering power, so... What will be cheapest way to upgrade? I live in Poland, budget isn't specified(but as cheap as possible), but I want something at least acceptable. CPU rather won't be overclocked, maybe slightly(I don't like, very much, raising voltage more than 0.1V), GPU definitely not(more likely undervoltage/underclocking for mining). I don't know where should I look at tier list - A, B, single rail, multi rail, switching... Problem is that wattage calculators shows 450-650w of power consumption, and it makes this even more confusing.
  19. I have a problem with choosing new psu. I'm afraid that my Thermaltake Smart SE 630W won't handle my "new" setup(7820X + RTX 2070 Super), and I need something, hm.. cheaper, that won't blow this thing up. I'm 99% sure that cpu won't be changed in next few years(they're expensive, even old ones) and I won't put 2nd gpu in it. What do you suggest? Single rail will be enough? Mobo has only one 8 pin connector, what's weird for LGA2066, but I think that this makes things easier.
  20. Nope, you can't. I've tried recently - because I was too lazy and I knew that there will be no heavy load on this setup. Effect - more heat on cpu. Even cheap paste, but fresh, will be much better than old one...
  21. For starters - it won't be cheap, if you want decent quality PTZ cameras. Also NVR/DVR will be better choice than PC as a recorder(software ain't cheap). Or you can buy something on aliexpress and pray that this'll work when you need it. IMHO - I've recently seen something like Dahua TiOC camera and I'll go for it, then NVR(with built-in PoE switch, or external PoE switch - if you want to power it that way) with WizSense - and you'll have decent quality without spending ton of money. And forget about PTZ, around house it's pointless. Cheaper option is to use analog hardware, it isn't as bad as a lot of people says. Except situations where 8Mpix isn't enough... Your choice. I've built CCTV for small place(like around a house) with Dahua analog CCTV - 3 8Mpix(HAC-HFW2802E-A-0280B, it's discontinued but has good 1/1.8" CMOS sensor) cameras outside, 3 5Mpix(HAC-HDW1500TLMQ-A-0280B-S2) cameras inside, WizSense XVR(HDCVI 6.0 Plus - XVR7208A-4K-I2). Price is reasonable, SMD+ will do its work when needed, and maybe even alarm out... And I'll suggest something like this. Good thing is that you can go up to 4K using UTP cable - passive video converter like PFM800-4K plus DC connector and you can have one UTP cable to power a camera and send image through it.
  22. IMO looks better, but one thing doesn't suit whole back - fan color. Maybe painting everything black, like mobo shield, will make it look better? I'm talking about fan cover and gpu shield.
  23. Nope, I can't help you with that - I've sold this CM and changed it to full ATX case :D but stayed with my old mini ITX motherboard xD My friend has bought some Thermaltake case, but it was for micro ATX board... It's nice and not too big, but stilll bigger than CM 130. It's kinda hard to find small and well built mini ITX case, unfortunately you either go small and hard to build or something bigger and well organised setup... :(
