Doing that with a custom WC loop is nightmare fuel. I wouldn't hesitate otherwise, especially with how easy PC builds are these days.

Don't waste your time and money with a 'test bench' case. The only people who can claim a legitimate use-case are youtubers for presentation or frequent component swaps for reviews. AFAIK no one in the PC building industry does anything other than mobo box test builds and I literally built...

Looks incredible. Any chance of a build log?

This was my first and last SLI setup. Dual GTX1080ti on X99 platform and a i7 5960X. I figured this would be a good rig for VR, boy was I wrong. SLI was only worse in VR than a single GPU. I ended up removing one of the cards and putting it in my HTPC rig. SLI was so disappointing with the...

This is my office setup: Audeze LCD-X and Chord Hugo2 Klipsch 5.1 reference quintet. I picked up a Yamaha RX-V361 second hand to run them. System replaced my Logitech Z-5500. Running off a Sound Blaster Z.

I just did this. Tried steam link on a google TV and also tried it on my old HTPC which had a 1080ti in it, which doesn't have the balls to play games at 4k these days. Steam link is awful, there are no two ways about it. I ended up running three cables to my lounge, an optical HDMI and an...

Wife and kids have been away for a month and I tried to get through Alan Wake 2 while they were away. I made good progress but I couldn't do it. It's just too damn scary playing this while home alone. Ended up playing GTA v.

Just wondering if anyone else can verify, I dropped my SOC voltage in BIOS to 1.08v. The bios reports 1.11v but all monitoring tools in windows, including Ryzen Master reports it as 1.2V. It never seems to change either and is the only v that reports exactly the same every time. Every other v is...

I have to finally admin defeat, I have no idea how PBO functions or what settings produce a good result. I messed with every setting and nothing seemed to change. The only setting that had any repeatable effect is curve optimisation. BCLK tweaking makes the system behave weird. Even just 1mhz up...

Just tinkering to see the difference. My card seems rock solid at 3030mhz with the bump. If I push any higher it drops back to that clock anyway. I'm seeing 520W with limit set to 133% so around 80W over the 'just under 450w' reported above (assuming stock) while performance in speedway while...

Every brand except Galax apparently.

I just found out that us late 4090 purchasers are punished by a 1070mv core limit. Earlier cards had a 1100mv limit. Flashed my card, a Gigabyte Aero OC 24G using nvflashk to a Gigabyte Gaming OC 24G (BIOS dated October 22 from Techpowerup). I chose the Gaming OC becuase it is basically the...

That was me. This was after flushing with hot vinegar, round two was caustic soda. In the bucket is the caustic soda flush. I'll put it in spoiler tags becuase it could induce trauma.

Just cleaned and changed thermal paste. +250 core and +1250 memory for all runs but the clocks are boosting higher due to lower temps I guess.
