  1. it's actually a more standardized and similar to a normal PC case, except it's a bit slimmer than an optical drive would be, so the slots for HDDs for the cases that have them it goes out to the edges, and not much extra beyond a normal PCIe back cover
  2. Nope it's a Noctua NH-L9i because it's the best the school had that fit, but then it cools enough even with the light workload I put on the server. If it were something I used personally I would find some cooler that is fitting the odd height limits.
  3. Yeah the work needed to make these airflow effective is usually not worth it, especially with how they have their heatsink design in a way where it's just not optimal, could be more worth if it was for example a good but low profile cooler for example in a server mounted case, run a low profile noctua for my server I have in school for some various stuff
  4. It makes sense with how stock coolers are usually made to work just good enough, doesn't have to be all that optimal, which I also guess is the case, my friends fan probably is the lower speed due to the much better conditions the PC is in with a controlled AC room and probably more airflow through the case (mine is quite terrible)
  5. Anything is better than stock tbh, but if I actually go for upgrading I will go better directly, was mostly just seeing if anything could be done in my current situation. Also that cooler was not available in Sweden anyway (unless I use Swedish amazon)
  6. that's what I thought, so bad design that it wiggles ig? still doesn't fully explain it. Oh I totally know I need a better cooler if I want proper cooling, I plan on buying the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO when I got money, which also is what I use in my school build to cool a Ryzen 7 7700.
  7. I should've clarified that it was my friends build over in school that had the low speed fan, and the computer lab is under much better cooling conditions so it's at like 36 on the 880RPM, so perhaps I make an unfair comparison.
  8. The processor is set to 5% by default by the balanced power plan, and I verified it. But however, you could be right on the repasting and remounting, because it feels like the cooler can be rotated ever so slightly when you wiggle, so perhaps it's not sitting good enough. Will order some paste and try. Also setting the minimum 4% lower to 1 did not change anything so probably all comes down to mounted badly
  9. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x that I put a AMD Wraith Prism on as I had one over from another build with a Ryzen 7 7700, but in this system with an aurous x570 elite board I experience the CPU fan is quite loud and will always be over 1500RPM even on idle, I tried tweaking some fan curves, but I experienced the temp went up a lil too much (in other words, inexperienced) I run the balanced system power plan so no always boosting here, if anyone has some tips if this is even fixable, I noticed my friend with a build using the newer CPU had like 800RPM idle. To clarify, I would upgrade the cooler if I had the money.
  10. nope only Fortnite, so I think it's perhaps a Fortnite being a lot to load thing as mentioned.
  11. Oh yeah I already had that on apparently, so that wasn't it, Nope I meant literal 15 minutes, maybe like 10?
  12. yeah, so fortnite went a little faster loading with the streaming assets installed, but as said it's very much held back by my HDD in such game.
  13. Yeah I figured the HDD would be a bottleneck, I got this years ago to store most of my games, which has worked fine, it was only now when I recently tried fortnite which has advanced a lot since I last played on my PC. But I am giving DX11 a try because I think I had DX12, and also I'm installing the streamed textures, perhaps might not help with loading, but it's something
  14. I have recently wanted to try some more Fortnite on my PC as I upgraded to a RTX 4060, but whenever I press launch it launches like normal, but it takes like 15 minutes to start, and most likely give me an error to relaunch the game (and also verify it in the same process), yet no fix. I noticed my HDD which is 5400 RPM only is 100% used when loading in which would just mean it's trying it's best, but still it's an HDD. Just wondering if there is any troubleshooting steps I could take that could possibly fix this, do I have to use an SSD for the game perhaps? is my HDD dying (despite not really showing signs in other games) or just a plain and simple reinstallation overnight? Give your opinions and tips
  15. I feel like 3 fan isn't needed if a card just has good cooling. That makes sense, but in this case I might actually look if I can go for the ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 8GB Dual OC as it's not much more money and even on their tests seem to get a neat temp and noise, but still haven't really tested my card if it is alright. I mean everything looks fine, didn't expect anything to look different there, it's a regular card after all.
  16. I just got my hands on a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 WindForce OC to replace my GTX 1060 3GB, I have noticed a very good performance for the few games I have tried so far, but reading the techpowerup review they get some crazy values that seems not right for what I have on mine, I'm just wondering if anyone else has some experience on this card if it's actually fine and their review has some bad numbers or if it's something that will eventually happen to me soon. I do have to add that I ran a Heaven Benchmark on extreme 1080p and I would say I did not reach such temps really, or noise unless I'm very bad at telling, to me this seems fine and performs okay, sure the plastic is a little hot if I open my side panel, but so is any GPU lol.
  17. Oh I for sure can run games on low, but I don't want to run on low. Which is why I'm upgrading lol
  18. Yeah I own a lot of games through steam and epic, but ofc have been limited due to my GPU
  19. Yeah I don’t regret buying a focus gx as they have really good quality.
  20. Well the RX 6700 XT is priced like $20 higher on a sale if I go to the store, as for the used market I live quite in a bad spot so market is quite inactive here, usually get old GPUs for sale that are before RTX series at a price which is often only like $180 less than my two options in the OP. Do you think the AMD card would do sufficient in recording stuff while playing games while delivering good performance to make it worth the small price increase. As for the NVIDIA feats I didn’t really plan on using DLSS and similar tbh and ray tracing isn’t really a focus either. But I took a look at some benchmarks also and I don’t really think I will be all that limited by the 8GB VRAM if I were to go with the 4060 for the games I play / plan to play. It’s a though question for me to answer really. Because I don’t play much more than the 3 same games on my PC due to me knowing I can’t really play much more / I can play it on my series x for example.
  21. It’s a seasonic focus gx 650W 80+ gold, so I didn’t include it as both these GPUs were within that range.
  22. Oh right the nvidia encoder, yeah perhaps I should look into some of that, but hopefully it’s not horrible, but might be simpler going green side too if I know it will work as I expect.
  23. Well I’m mostly thinking I would run 1080p for at least 1 more year and perhaps upgrade to 1440p after that as it’s a neat middle resolution. I’m mostly playing competitive games I would say, mostly because I have my xbox series x if I really want performance, but this has of course led to many of my store games where graphics is to prefer on. PC have been left unplayed, I can’t really be more specific about which games other than like overwatch and CS2 which aren’t too heavy games, just mostly want something that would fair well over most games with like okay graphics and 60 fps. I’m not really locked behind any features, I do like my GeForce shadowplay, but there is always alternatives to that.
  24. I’m in Sweden, and AMD cards Isn’t all that out of my area of interest, but I do rely a bit on NVIDIA Shadowplay, but alternatives exist, and also have their drivers been improving lately or is there still a risk of a larger instability? Yeah when I compared these’s performance was quite similar, but the extra VRAM I have noticed is getting a little better to have nowadays.
  25. Hello, I’m thinking about finally retiring my GTX 1060 3GB from my PC with a ryzen 5 5600x and 32GB RAM, but of course I need a new GPU, but I have gotten tied between 2 GPUs that are in the same price range, but different generations. And I’m talking about a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8GB vs a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. From what I’ve gathered these are great 1080p cards which is what I plan to run for at least 1 year more, and currently I don’t really run stuff over 144fps, I’m just not sure what to aim for, actual speed or a larger video memory for games that require it, give some input.
