I'm sure DC would be up for that exchange! Lol
He's wasn't the GPU either, but his case system fans refusing to throttle via MoBo and software throttling. The issue however was the GPU blocking the system from slowing down the fans. To me it...
A friend has a similar fan issue with a 3080 GPU. The fan was just running constantly full speed. The fan was connected via internal USB so he unplugged it to reset the fan and the GPU really...
That heatsink is huge! Why not liquid cooling? Would have saved a lot of internal space.
Really like the look of the case.
You are really lucky to have got a 3090. The 3000 cards are...
Wow! That's quite a beast.
Might even manage to run Cyberpunk! Lol.
I can't comment either as I've been running nVidia 970s for years too, plus an i7. I agree AMD GPUs did have some driver issues back in the day, but they were pretty fast to update when there was...
@Kin. AMD hadn't been worth buying for years. But their current range has simply pushed their CPUs right up there again. Great performance, at a great price point, often a third of the price...
Very nice setup. You will be future proofed with the i9 for a very long time, especially as it has 5GHz turbo boost so even though it's an unlocked K CPU there is really no need to overclock it.
Sounds like a nice setup. The Samsung SSDs are definitely still the best.
Regarding cpu cores, most people won't see much benefit above 4 cores most of the time. Although obviously if you...
AMD processors are definitely finally the best gaming and general purpose CPUs again at the moment. I would only really recommend Intel for productivity because they do still offer some advantages...
With intensive tasks it is always the amount of ram that will help the most. Much more than a faster CPU.
It should fit and you can have 4 DIMMs fitted at once. I've got 4x 2GB in my main PC, and I've yet to get anywhere close to using up the 8GB for anything other than video preview rendering in After...
It isn't that different building a PC from the past 10 years really. You still have a case, motherboard, ram, CPU, cooler, PSU and graphics card as the main parts.
The big differences are the...
That is annoying, but would happen with all tower style heatsinks, which are the most efficient type these days.
You got the Freezer 7 Pro CPU cooler in the end, didn't you?
If so, the fan can easily be unclipped from the front of the heatsink via the rubber frame that holds it all in place and reduces...
All Antec cases have thier PSUs at the bottom. I quite like that instead of the normal top position as it does reduce clutter. Their P range of cases go further with dual chambers, isolating the...
That looks great. Very nice neat job you did.
Were you happy with all the components and the case?
Sapphire or XFX are actually the best makers ATI cards, so you will be happy with that one.
GeIL ram is good, but maybe that motherboard doesn't like certain latency.
Have you looked at Crucial ram? I've used that quite a lot in the past, and it is very good. The Crucial website lets...
Only overkill if you are not going to use its full potential. If he is gaming then it will get more out of the system. However, now the i7 980X is released with its six core and hyperthreading...
Definitely worth it for 2TB models at that price difference. 500GB for €25 can't be passed on.
@Phantom. Same here mate. I've only bought Asus for some time now. I always used to buy MSI,...
The Antec Twelve Hundred will definitely make it much easier for future upgrades, and also very easy to add or swap HDDs in future.
The exterior dimensions may be similar, but the internal layouts...
Great selection of components.
At the moment the i5 750 is the best CPU to buy for price to performance, and the HD5770 is a very good graphics card, which isn't that far behind the higher end...
