Hi, I haven’t been here for a while, but I would like to get some advice regarding where I should mount CPU AiO liquid cooling radiator. I’ve started gathering parts, since I’m waiting for 4080 Super release, I’m buying stuff one by one when some good deals appear, but to the point - I bought Corsair iCUE 5000X and HX1000i already and I’m planning to buy iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX or something similar (most probably 360mm anyway) and my question is - what would be the best spot for the CPU AiO radiator, in 5000X it can be installed in one of three different places 1. front - IMO not preferable option since CPU heat would be blown on other parts like RAM, GPU and MOBO 2. top - seems reasonable since warm air elevates - but in this case opposite to option 1. warm air elevating from other parts like MOBO and GPU would contribute to higher temperature in the radiator hence whole AiO and CPU 3. side (5000X has a vent parallel to mobo, right angle to the front) - shouldn’t directly contribute to rising other parts temperature nor the other way round - but I wonder if this wouldn’t obscure the general airflow and “consume (redirect)” too much of the “fresh (cool)” air which was supposed to come from the front to the GPU, MOBO etc. If I will not go with the 3rd opinion, I’m planning to install 3 fans on the side went the way they would blow fresh (cool) air into the case. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-cases/cc-9011212-ww/icue-5000x-rgb-tempered-glass-mid-tower-atx-pc-smart-case-black-cc-9011212-ww Thanks in advance for your help! Have a Happy New Year! P.S. Other parts I’m planning to buy - please feel free to let me know if you see something “doesn’t click”. - i7 14700K (not F because I want emergency graphics or a signal source for second monitor (to see TS/Discord/Browser or something similar while gaming without losing FPS on the main screen)) - MSI Z790 MPG CARBON WIFI (maybe MAX) - Corsair DOMINATOR (probably Platinum) DDR5 6400MHz 32CL 32GB - RTX 4080 Super (most probably MSI GAMING X TRIO) - 2TB PCIe 4x4 SSD (Samsung 990 Pro or similar level WD Black I think) - maybe some additional 140mm or 120mm Corsair FANs - and maybe some single-sleeved braided PSU cables (Original Corsair or Cablemod) Thanks again!

Actually reseting router helped, at least for now.

Windows Defender

Browsing web in Chrome on my PC I noticed blinking Microsoft Edge icon on a task bar, when I opened the app it was opening new tab (I think every 15-30 secs) connecting to following address https://connect.facebook.net/log/fbevents_telemetry/. Closing the Edge didn't help, it opened again after probably a minute. Do you know what might that be? Some malware? Cambridge Analitica trying to break in? I'm kind of scared. Screenshot below, internet connection is ok, only during taking it I was rebooting router/modem.

Great JOB congratulations

Thank so much for help, and sorry for so long time i didnt answer

Welcome again tech geniuses I am looking for rams(I killed my adatas probably by electrostatic spark) and I think about corsair vengence lp green 2133 11cl(which would look perfect with my g1.sniper) or vengence pro silver also 2133 cl11 or 10 I think but corsair says that pro are better for overclocking is it true? is any difference between them? in Poland (where I live) price is almost the same lp are even more expensive by sth about 3-4 dollars. And does overclockin on amatour level make any difference ? Thanks for help in advance

dbrand's carbon skins looks amazing

Thanks for help and i have to think about it.

Dear Tech Geniuses I need quiet HDD for storage and older games as first drive I've got ADATA XPG9sth 128gb i have there Windows Watch_Dogs, BF4 and place reserved for GTA V and the most nesecery programs like chrome office etc. as second drive i have 4 years old 1.5TB Samsung with 5400rpm from previous pc, its not special quiet and it worked a lot time. I am looking for something new, best from Seagate i think cuse I used WD and it broke after few months, it have to be quiet its my priority, if it will be fast it would be awesome. It should be 1-2TB better 2. And I have question it possible to minimalizie work of HDD if its not nesecery ex when i am playing game which is on ssd. Thanks in advance for help And sorry for possible english mistakes i am from Poland

Dear, Tech Geniuses I wanna ask you do 2 way SLI GTX 770 will be enough to get smooth (i mean about 40-60 fps) in 4K resolution cause i'm building PC and i m not sure what should i buy. I think that 2 gigs versions will be not enough to 4K so 4 will be better. Now i have - i7 4770 (not K) - G1.SniperZ87 - 8 gigs of 1866mhz ADATA XPG 2 rams I thought about 2x770 in 4gb oc gigabyte versions What do you think about it ? Sorry, for grammar and differet mistakes i am from Poland.
