Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I have a 3060Ti FE which comes with a 8 pin to 12 pin connector.

If I buy a 12 pin connector from corsair ( removing the adapter completely ) would I gain any performance or is it purely aesthetics ?

Fair enough. I was asking because the adapter that came with it only has 6 pins on the side which goes into the GPU which is strange as on the GPU it has 12 pins

I have the 3060ti FE and 3070 FE and both have the same cable. 

 

i think its like that as the GPU doesn't use that much power.

 

my new cable has 2x 8pin to 12pin (as the corsair one you have linked to) so all the pins are connected now.

 

not sure what difference it makes, possible better OC? as moer power connected to it

Thanks for the info. Are you using the exact one I posted ? Or just the same but a different brand ?

Thing is the provided adapter should work fine, the other thing is you never plan on overclocking, it 'just happens'... ;)

 

But yeah the 3060ti doesn't have a huge power draw, it should be really ok. :)

The direction tells you... the direction.

I've changed my setup now and want a tidier looking cable.

Before I buy, have you tried your 12-pin cable in the 3060ti fe ?
