I just replaced my 6 year old x72 with the new elite 360. In my experience, I'm getting a solid 5 degree jump in temp when idling in the BIOS. This is with the same exact thermal paste under all the same exact conditions. This is why I reached out. I wanted to see if others were experiencing...

As I mentioned, I recently just replaced my x72 with the new Elite 360, non RGB. I'm actually getting a solid 5 degree jump in temperature when idling in the BIOS. This is with the same exact thermal paste under the same exact conditions. My x72 was still working fine but I thought I should...

The Ryujin III is the best 360 AIO available but I'm not sure if its compatible with your socket. I would have got one, but it doesn't support my CPU socket. Instead, I got a Kraken Elite 360 since I can use the same hardware from the previous generation.

Anyone have experience upgrading the x72/x73 to the new kraken elite 360? What are your thoughts, do you think it's an improvement in performance, is your cpu the same temperature?

I don't understand. Is there any benefit to run the (2) fans to a PWM hub? Would it make more sense to just run the (2) fans directly to the motherboard? I think the PWM hub is designed to connect to the CPU_FAN header due to the voltage. However, my AIO cooler connects to my CPU_FAN header.

Hello, I have a Phankets Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass desktop. Which fan/pump motherboard header should I use for the 2 front fans? I can run the 2 front fans to the included Phanteks PWM hub and then to the motherboard, or just run the 2 front fans directly to the motherboard. I want to keep the...

I wasn't interested is the Cablemod 90 degree adapter because I had plenty of clearance with a 3x8-pin to 12VHPWR cable. You can see this in the images I provided above. So, I'm being told Cablemod will have a new 12VHPWR cable available in about 4 weeks. Does anyone know if this will actually...

This is misinformation, it's way too early to give an accurate number. As I explained, my cable worked fine for 6 months and then the issue started happening Out of nowhere. It could start happening with your cable tomorrow. Either way, this is a big deal especially for those who are...

I can't leave it the way it is, my stock PSU, 8-pin cables are way too long. Since my PC was built with the individually sleeved EVGA cables, I have to stay with an EVGA PSU. Unfortunately, EVGA doesn't offer any 12VHPWR or 12x2x6 cables and even if they did, they would most likely not be the...

I thought the issues were happening from people bending the cable too much. Fortunately for me, I have plenty of clearance in my case and don't need an angled adapter. I went from an ideal cable run to an ugly mess.

Okay, that is very helpful. I didn't realize the 12v 2x6 spec is already present in the new 4090 FE cards. As far as you know, there won't be anymore changes to the 12v 2x6 spec on the actual 4090 FE cards, correct? For 4090 FE (12vhpwr) owners, do you recommend they RMA their card for a...

I don't understand. Will the 12v 2x6-pin become the ports on the 4090 cards or the plug, on the power cables?

The 12V2x6-pin, will that become the new port on the 4090 FE cards? I don't understand.

No, my PSU is EVGA and they don'toffer one. Did you go with a 3x8-pin or 4x8-pin to 12VHPWR?

There have been an overwhelming amount of people having the exact same issue with Cablemod 12VHPWR cables. The screen goes black and fans are stuck @100%. The only way to stop it is to hold down the power button and force a restart. Please see below...

There have been an overwhelming amount of people having this exact issue with cablemod. Please see below, https://www.reddit.com/r/cablemod/comments/10oouwe/12vhpwr_cable_leading_to_black_screen_on_4090/ Has anyone received a replacement from cablemod recently? I guess this question is...

Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure and didn't want to ask Cablemod for their obvious answer. Does anyone understand why the cable would just go bad after 6 months when it was never touched? I'm not using the right angle adapter from Cablemod. My PSU is 6 months old, I got when I got the 4090. It's a...

Can this issue cause damage to the GPU or any other component? For example, the fans could have been stuck at 100% for hours, multiple times before I noticed.

I finally figured out what is causing the major issue I have been having with my PC. It started about 2 months ago, I would get a black screen and the fan on my 4090 FE would go to 100%. (I didn't know it was the GPU fan until recently.) When this would happen at random, my PC was unresponsive...

I wanted to see what kind of large displays other people use for their PC. I currently have a 46" commercial display for my pc and i love it. I've had it for the past 10 years and never had a problem with it. The commercial dissplays have plenty of advantages such as, cooling, brightness...

I will go with a commercial display, does anyone else here use one for a PC?

Hello, I'm looking for a 75" commercial display for my PC. Can anyone recommend a model/brand? I was looking at the NEC v754q, any thoughts? I'm only interested in commercial displays, not consumer TVs. Now that I bring it up, why don't consumers tvs offer displayport?

Okay, thanks for the information. Even though it's only 2" larger, I don't think a 77" will work for my room. I'm almost 100% sure that I will be going with a 75" display. I edit images in photoshop, edit audio in wavelab, play games on steam, watch mkv files, (4k blu ray rips) in vlc media...

Hello, I'm looking for a 75" display for my PC. Does anyone use commercial displays for their PC instead of a consumer TV? Other than the warranty, longevity and overall quality, do commercial displays offer any other advantages over consumer TV's? For example, which type has the best image...

Well it looks like I will go with a NEC-X462S. Does anyone one know of a 46-47" display/HDTV that would out perform this, excluding weatherized and touch screen? I just want to ask before I make the purchase. Thanks for all your help.

What is 4:4:4 and is there a IPS, HDTV with displayport, without speakers? Everytime I look at the specs for HDTV's the panel type isn't even there. Maybe, what I should of asked, is how much worse is a SPVA (P-DID) image/video quality compared to an IPS? I'm looking at the NEC...

Hey everyone, I currently have a Dell 30" which is 16/10, IPS@2560x1600 and have been waiting close to 5 years for the display I want to be released, and still don't see it happening any time soon. I feel that for my application, I need to increase the size of my display to the 40" range...

Got it. I wish I had talked to you when I first decided to get new hard drives, but its resolved now. Just to confirm, if I had installed the windows updates, with the pair of 2TB, would it have made a difference? The reason I ask it because my 3TD drive didn't show up right until I installed...

I have a nforce 650 sli chipset and that is all I will ever know. The board itself doesnt specify what it is, just says Dell. I thought a chipset is a motherboard and vise versa. Being that the board/chipset is almost 5 years old, theres a slim chance that it supports UEFI. I originally...

huh. I have one 1tb caviar black and one 3tb caviar green. I thought I couldnt make the 3tb a bootable drive because of the size. anyway do I need to adjust jumper pins or something on the secondary drive itself

Got it! Based on your reply I would perfer to intall apps/games on the boot/OS dirve, this way I know for sure that everything is on the one drive. I also would perfer to keep my documents, pictures and music file on the boot/OS drive so they appear in the default folders. I will use the 3TB...

Got it, thanks so much!

Alright I will choose the drive letter option. A few last questions with having a secondary drive, if I were to keep my pictures, music and mkv files on the secondary drive, and go to start menu, pictures or music or videos would they be there? Also, if I installed a game on the secondary drive...

I think I understand now, the total size/volume of the combinded drives is what matters and not the size of the independant drives, regaurdless of having all the windows updates including SP1 installed? Thanks for taking your time explaining that to me.

How would I be exceeding the MBR limit if each drive is under 2.19TB? I remember doing this about a month ago and the 4TB showed up fine in thre RAID BIOS but not in windows. I'm almost positive that I didn't install any window updates including SP1. I pretty much just configured the drives...

In most cases do people set up a secondary drive by assigning it a letter or by mounting it in an empty NTFS folder?

Are you sure, since I think the MBR limitation is with the drive itself and not the total volume.

I really want to confirm if a pair of 2TB internal desktop bootable drives, configured in RAID 0 is possible with a chipset that doesnt support UEFI? Thanks
