  1. Hello there, I'm thinking of buying 3 Noctua NF-S12A PWM fans for my case intake. My current cooler master fans are 3-pins and the case only came with 3-way splitter for 3 pins. If I purchase 3 Noctua fans, they will all come with 2 way splitters I believe. I was thinking maybe I can get away without purchasing another 3-way splitter for 4 pins and use two 2-way splitters connected end to end and get 3 connectors for 4 pins instead. Would that be a problem for controlling them? PWM etc. and also could there be some other problem? Thanks!
  2. Thanks for your advice. Looks like ugly is the choice for me.
  3. Thanks, I'll look at the reviews. There is also MA410P available in my region and it looks like it performs better than MA610P. Can it be close to Noctua performance wise?
  4. No no only the spare fan costs that .There are no u12s chromax black edition available in my region.
  5. Oh no, I wish I could. I'm in Turkey so my choices are really limited sadly. A Chromax black costs about 35 USD in here. Maybe I could get away with buying the noctua now and then maybe add the chromax to the front it later on and use the hideous one on the back in 2 fan config? Would the second fan will be worth it though? Also NH-U12S is ~85USD and MA610P is ~82USD in my region.
  6. Hey there, As title suggests I'm torn between these choices. Should I just use the stock cooler for a while to save money for further upgrades? Or should I use the Noctua/Cooler Master coolers right away. I know the Noctua is great for the performance. But it really looks ugly (imo). I couldn't find many reviews for MA610P. If Cooler Master can perform close to Noctua in cooling AND noise levels I tend to go towards Cooler Master. What are your thoughts?
  7. Thanks! I will go with RTX 2070S and splurge a bit more. Well the SSD is around 90 USD mark. PSU wise there aren'y many options in my region to compare from your PSU tier list. It is prices about 185 USD.
  8. Thank you again. Your comments are greatly appreciated. I think I've found a better options price wise, upon further research. A Sapphire RX5700XT Nitro+ Special Edition for (~628 USD) if there aren't any obvious problems, stability or heat wise I think this checks all boxes except the power usage. OR A Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 Super Windforce OC 3x 8G (~700 USD). 2070S looks like the obvious choice. But I am suspicious of its low price. Is this specific model has an issue? So here is my updated build: Ryzen 5 3600 Asus Prime X570-P 4400mhz(OC) Sapphire RX5700XT Nitro+ Special Edition 8GB OR Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 Super Gaming OC 3x 8G TOSHIBA 500GB OC NvME SSD Cooler CPU: CoolerMaster MA610P CASE: Corsair 110R PSU: Cougar 650W GX-S -> Not sure this will feed the GPU properly. Would love to hear some feedback on this. RAM: G SKILL 2x8GB Trident Z DDR4 3600 MHz CL16 Monitor: LG 32" 32GK850F 144Hz 1440P What are your thoughts on this build guys? I am keen on building a "responsive" stable PC with mid to high performance here. Any help is appreciated since I tend to fixate on these things.
  9. Well of course it is an issue, so if I were to look for best price for performance what would you recommend? Also still I have concerns about AMD + Intel compatibility.
  10. Thanks @ephesus.exe! Should I go with: * ASUS ROG STRIX RX 5700 XT (~700 USD) * ASUS GeForce DUAL RTX2060 SUPER EVO OC (638 USD) * MSI GeForce RTX 2070 TRI FROZR 8 GB (~726 USD) These are all about the same price. I don't know about any heating issues and/or compability issues with AMD MOBOs for Nvdia. Based on videocardbenchmark I should go with RTX 2070. But are these benchmarks are really that good about reflecting the overall usage of these cards? @boggy77 If you have some time I would appreciate your help also on this subject.
  11. What would you recommend instead of RX5700. Also I've seen some compatibility concerns on some AMD MOBOs and Intel GPUs with driver issues etc.
  12. I have Sapphire Radeon RX5700 or Asus Radeon RX5700 Rog Strix O8G versions available around the same prices (~100 USD Price change). I assumed since TUF has 3 fans it should perform better than the "blower" Sapphire. Are these options better for heat managament? I was considering Crucial for their better price but I wasn't sure about their reliability. Samsung were the king of the SSD NAND chips. Is the landscape of ssds changed? If crucial is a viable option I could get a 1TB P1 NvMe for about the same price or cut my expenses and get a Toshiba 500 GB. But I have concerns about their long term reliability etc. I have dropped the case+psu as your recommendation. Corsair 110R for the case and I am thinking Cougar 650W GX-S for PSU. Are these good choices for PSU?
  13. Thank you! I am truly excited about this build too. Since I always use 2 monitors, I have decent screen real estate. Reviews mostly criticize the VA panels for text-reading etc. Edit: The LPX 3600 set is available from some not so reputable vendors from 50 USD or less actually. I didn't consider them because of CL16 vs CL18. Don't know if the price difference is worth it actually.
  14. Hello, I am trying to put together a decent pc for personal use. I am a relatively power user dabbling in all kinds of usage. I know that the "general use" concept is the most expensive approach but I can not define my usage as purely "gaming" or "workstation" etc. I play games, sometimes I create small- mid size 3D projects, short Aftereffects or Premiere projects, some C# programming, lots of netflix and also working on my thesis so general text-based usage (this is relative bc. of monitors.) My gaming preferences are mostly MMORPGS (Like BDO), RPGS (Divinity OS II) or games like Factorio etc. I am not a "competitive" player but I also play some MOBAs. My aim with this build is create a well balanced PC without breaking the bank. I also want to consider some future upgradeability since I don't want to replace my PC every 3-5 years. I prefer gradual upgrades in the future. Sadly my current pc is a Laptop, I am badly in need for a decent PC. I believe (mostly bc. of Linus's videos about 144hz) I must aim for 1440p 144hz gaming on pretty decent settings (High, not necessarily all maxed, ultra) I can't give a budget because prices are insane where I am living (Turkey) taxes and currency rates messes up the budget approach. So here is what I am considering right now CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 MOBO: Asus X570-P 4400mhz(OC) -> This is a bit overkill imho, but I am willing to get this to support possible future upgrades. GPU: Asus Radeon RX5700 TUF33 O8G 8GB GDDR6 Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB -> I already have 2 other SATA SSDs to use as backup, and will but an HDD 2TB in the future. For now this should suffice. Cooling: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 120 mm -> Sadly there are no Noctua fans available in my country. Most options are from brands like CoolerMaster, Thermaltake, Zalman etc. RAM: GSKILL 16GB (2x8) Trident Z 3600 MHz DDR4 1.35V -> ram is another nightmare in my country. I can't find any B-die rams or any great alternatives to this ram. CASE+PSU: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-Delta | 550W 80+ -> I was going to buy a 860W Corsair VS but again for some reason case+psu options are WAY cheaper in my region so I am somewhat forced to choose this option. I've changed the PSU to Cougar 650W GS-X and the case to Corsair 110R based on the recommendations below. Monitor: I am between a 27" LG GL850 IPS OR LG 32" 32GK650F-B VA. This is a problem area for me. Since bc. of Covid-19 I can't check them in real life so any recommendations are much appreciated. My laptop is Asus ROG G750JW and I am happy with its panel quality, but for the life of me I can't find what type it is or even if it is relevant to compare a 1080p laptop panel to these monitor. I am badly in need of monitor advice. Please note that I almost exclusively use my computer in a dark room. Also I am already using a secondary crappy monitor even with my laptop and will use a 1080p secondary with the desktop too. This build, without any peripherals costs about 2000~2500 USD in my region. I am eager to listen your advice, how can I improve this build. Is RX a good GPU, can 3600 meet my expectations, about monitors etc. Thanks in advance and I wish you all the best luck in this pandemic.
