    Any of them. I get the 5 packs.

    Yea the Arctic stuff is pretty nice. Skipped making my last rig with noctua, can get 5 for the price of one. even offer rgb for the alphabet people now.

    Dont think anyone is doing it for cooling in that sense. As that isnt needed. Figured you'd understand the context. Taking the board out every time isnt always needed or convenient. If the build is basic or small enough Im sure a cheap case without the hole would be purchased anyway. But most do it as theres no reason to keep a solid tray nor provide any cooling to the back of a board.
  4. Mick Naughty
    They leave the space open so you easily access the back of the board for cooling. No need for pads for generic boards for average users. And the case would need to have a generic tray to work with every board and comes with a lot of pads to cover the variables. Not worth the time or effort.

    Isn’t overkill at all. Barely average at best. I used a 3090 on 1080p for mw2019 and it managed to get the same frames as my 1080ti before all the horrible patches that tanked the FPS.
  6. Mick Naughty
    I dont update often. Did it for apparently for an update that needed a hotfix. Between that and game patches my gpu struggles for frames. Quite a few things holding it back, not sure I can blame nvidia at this point.

    Yea, fe cards are. I wouldn’t get some Zotac or gigabyte stuff.
  8. Mick Naughty
    No idea, being a better card it wont be an issue and better than some low end card to save cash. Shouldnt be a concern getting older and weaker components.
  9. Mick Naughty
    So you’re gonna run the fans at max rpm?
  10. Mick Naughty
    Well depends on how clean you want the back. The stock cables are perfect length aside from the sata for hdd/ssd. Could wait to get it and measure.
  11. Mick Naughty
    So a normal ups? I have one for my router and modem. I’d use one for a security system as well.
  12. Mick Naughty
    You can do anything you want if you can manage it. Good airflow can get the job done most likely.
  13. Mick Naughty
    Idk prolly because it’s cheap and easy compared to getting new top of the line hardware. No real performance for a gpu, regardless of power bound it is. Shouldn’t be worried about old cards and warranties if the only metric is some clock speed.
  14. Mick Naughty
    Doubt overclocking is a real concern, chasing 5 fps over getting a better card on air. Especially in my case, paired with such a weak cpu it cant be fully utilized anyway.
  15. Mick Naughty
    Just get an fe card and not worry about the warranty.

    Alpha cool has a fitting that reports flow and temp to the board if applicable. I think bitspower and a few others have the one that had a screen on it that does the same. If that’s what you’re asking about.

    Could take it apart and give it a look over or post good pics. A shunt mod is very easy to notice. And the backplate is supposed to get hot. Especially for cards with vram on the back. Even ones without trap hot air and get very hot.
  18. Mick Naughty
    If its sealing, the gap doesnt matter. There isnt any heat, if the coolant gets that hot you will have other issues way before that specific oring.
  19. Mick Naughty
    Well you could add filters. It’s normal to get stuff but I only do a few flushes. Normally forget to do it on all builds. but given the hoses I use used to clog my blocks, I’d just take it all apart in a year and clean the blocks. I only do hot water but most people say to use vinegar. I only use a chemical like CLR when rads are stained from coolants.
  20. Mick Naughty
    Not gonna matter if they are decent pads. Could just buy the right stuff though.
  21. Mick Naughty
    Buy an adapter.
  22. Mick Naughty
    Well that may be true, but that doesn't mean the card with actually work without sensing those two pins. Sounds like the psu is crap if it doesnt have a single 8pin cable.
  23. Mick Naughty
    Sounds like the fan(s) aren’t working. Or very bad contact with old tim. Sounds like you need to dig into it a bit more. it should be down clocking but heaven doesn’t really track that all too well.
  24. Mick Naughty
    The pad pictured is quite malleable. When I buy other aftermarket stuff, it’s pretty stiff so I get something more exact when it comes to measuring. Is there anything on the back of the nvme’s?
  25. Mick Naughty
    Depends on the card, I’d use a splitter if need be but if the psu only has 2, that sounds like it would be the limitations first.
