  1. I am planning on repasting my laptop as it is outside of its warranty period now and figured it might help drop temps a bit. Plus I've heard factory thermal paste is garbage. I was just wondering what would be a good thermal paste to get? I've looked around the web for a while and a lot of people suggest Kryonaut and MX-4. I've also heard that some thermal pastes tend to dry out due to the different mounting pressures that laptops have, so I want to know for sure if I get something like Kryonaut, will it make a good enough difference to be worthwhile? And if so, will it last at least a year or two before needing to be replaced? And for the record, yes I know that it probably wont make a massive difference (probably no more than 3-5 C), but like I said, it is outside of its warranty and I have the money to burn so why not. If you need my specific laptop, it is a Predator Helios 300 PH-315-51-78NP.
  2. Hello, I am doing a build where my budget is $3000 USD for the entire setup. I would like some advice on if this build looks good and if everything will be compatible. Thank you.

  3. Hello everyone, this is my first post to this forum. I am here to ask for some suggestions/feedback on my first PC build that I made in pcpartpicker, since it is my first time doing this. Here is some information regarding what I wanted: Budget and Location My total budget will be about $3000 USD, with about $2000-2500 going into the PC itself and the rest for peripherals. Aim This build will be used for gaming only. Games that will be played involve upcoming triple A titles (Such as Cyberpunk 2077), with a mix of medium to low demand games as well (Minecraft, Kerbal Space Program 2, etc.) Monitors I am planning to do 1440p 144hz gaming on a single monitor for now, with room for upgrades later on such as ultrawide 1440p or extra displays. Peripherals As stated, I will be buying a 1440p 144hz monitor on top of my build. I will also need a keyboard (either cherry red, blue, or brown, I'm not picky) and a good quality headset. Mouse is not required. Why I am Upgrading Simply because my current rig does not have the horsepower to handle games that I wish to play in the future. I should mention it is a gaming laptop too, which doesn't help much. Here is the parts list I have chosen: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Liquid AIO Motherboard: ASRock X570 Taichi ATX AM4 RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16gb DDR4-3600 Storage: Crucial P1 500gb M.2 NVME, Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB 7200RPM GPU: MSI Geforce RTX 2080 SUPER 8gb Gaming X Trio Case: NZXT H510i PSU: Corsair RM (2019) 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular OS: Windows 10 Home Fans: Corsair ML140 Pro RGB 140mm x 2, Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm x 2 Monitor: LG 27GL850-B 2560x1440 144hz Keyboard: Corsair K68 RGB Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I really appreciate it.
