Dual Loop or nothing

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Water cool all the way

elfin quail Oct 17, 2023, 9:28 PM

ASUS Motherboard if you can

Nuh uh I have my gripes with em

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

IMO if you're in it for the long run, go for the best spec you can realistically afford. If you can get a big dual loop and you don't intend on upgrading in the next 3-5 years then just go for it. It's a big investment but so worth it. Also go for the 14900K BUT FOR THE LOVE OF TECH JESUS DO NOT OVERCLOCK IT

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

tall charm IMO if you're in it for the long run, go for the best spec you can realistically...

Another point is how much better they can look

Whilst it's on the table, big question, Distro or dual loop?

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Best systems have distro plates

elfin quail Oct 17, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Distro if you got the case

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Evo can do it

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:29 PM

#

Distro kit and then email sales after placing the order so you can add a second radiator

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

Third radiator anyone

Would it be possible?

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

tall charm https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

The evo can do it no?

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

Yes

elfin quail Oct 17, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

My case could fit a few tbh

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

Front distro

#

Side top bottom radiator

#

So many sexy 90 bends

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

I was told by CS that I could "potentially" have a distro front mounted in an EVO

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

Yeah technically that should be fine, just place the order with the dynamic xl and then we can swap the case

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

Mudkip your budget was like £6k?

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

Not sure if it is a different distro or the one we normally get so would have to check

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

hopefully under 6k

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

We have had too many conversations in dms kekdog kekdog

Just get a 4090 matrix

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

tall charm Not sure if it is a different distro or the one we normally get so would have to...

Yeah he said it was theoretically possible, but he wasn't too sure

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

It's only 3k for the card alone

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

only

#

kekw

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:33 PM

#

Yeah talk to someone in 2017

#

The 4090 will be only £2k

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

But it takes down the number of rads you can have

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Mudkip I have made you too indecisive

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

yes

#

you have

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Get the front distro with shiz tons of radiators

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Since it has its own 360 rad

elfin quail Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

frosty oriole *hopefully under 6k*

You want just a gaming set up or you using for work?

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

mainly just gaming

elfin quail Oct 17, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

Because the 7800X3D is still better choice than a 14900K.

#

It’s about 4-5% faster.

#

Less power, less heat.

#

Cheaper too.

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

@twin siren is that the bad AM5 to stay away from

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:35 PM

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

I mean... maybe Jacob can answer this,

#

#

is the 14th supposed to be

#

CHEAPER

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

Probably stock issues idk

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

I questioned that also

#

It actually is cheaper

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

Same MSRP though

#

No way?

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

IT IS?

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

Legit

That's super weird right

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

Very

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:37 PM

#

Do we feel good or bad about that 😭

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

I feel good, new hardware for lower price is win-win right?

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

isn't it like priced at £50-60 over what the 13th variant is

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

tall charm I feel good, new hardware for lower price is win-win right?

When the 14700k is a weirdly oced 13700k for cheaper yeah

#

Why intel though kekw

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

peeposhrug

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:38 PM

It's a win for us though

#

#

I can save money... by upgrading...

#

what

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

And I don't feel bad after my 13600k choice a few weeks ago kekw kekw

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

Because Intel have to do something to make 14 series sell

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

true

#

there is barely any change

#

apart from what, like 3 extra e cores

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

Cos it's not great. It's basically just a 13 series refresh

#

Besides the 14700k has a few more E cores

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

To be honest kekw that's what I like about intel
AMD changed so much and made a beta test platform IMO

#

I am very biased yes

#

Intel never releases a platform where that stuff happens alot

quartz geyser Oct 17, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

I mean if you are just gaming I'd go with a 7800X3D

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:41 PM

#

Go 7800x3d 🥺

#

Against my will

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

tall charm I already have 2x because I have to do Alans job as well as mine

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

how hasn't AMD fixed their "test" platform yet tho

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

I'm biased

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

with the amount of issues people have

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

Don't listen to me

#

Jacob what's the numbers truthfully

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

"8000-series" will fix it

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

Yeah 👍 kekdog

tall charm Oct 17, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

I am interested to see how much better it could be

twin siren Oct 17, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

AMD should do 1 year refreshes imo

frosty oriole Oct 17, 2023, 9:43 PM

I mean it won't be hard to beat Intel's 14th gen
