if you go with the 4000d you could get artic p12s

#

pretty sure it supports top mount but dont quote me on that

hasty sphinx
#

Ok. I because I believe the 4kd only supports up to 240 on the top

keen nacelle
#

@hot folio you know?

keen nacelle
#

can get a 6900xt for just a bit more

visual timber
keen nacelle
#

the gpu in this parts list

visual timber
#

isn't that the gpu that i sent you

keen nacelle
#

oh wait

#

sorry i misread what it was

#

i thought it was a 6800xt

#

my bad

#

yeah thats fine

visual timber
#

ok and will it fit in that case with a liquid cooling system? @keen nacelle

keen nacelle
#

depends on the case

#

also depends what you mean

#

do you mean an aio for a cpu?

visual timber
#

idk what that means tbh i just saw some people having problems with there gpu's not fitting in there case so i just wanted to know if that graphics card will fit in the "Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB ATX Mid Tower Case" with a 3 fan liquid cooling system @keen nacelle

keen nacelle
#

you dont have to ping me in every message

#

i have other things going on

#

i will respond when i respond

visual timber
#

ok

keen nacelle
#

i believe it will

#

could wait for someone else to confirm

visual timber
#

ok thanks

#

but if the price for the gpu goes back up to $1600 is it still worth it

keen nacelle
#

nah

#

then get 6900xt oc formula

visual timber
#

aren't they the same price

keen nacelle
#

its a better model

#

its the best model 6900xt

visual timber
#

well its original price is $1700 is that worth it

keen nacelle
#

nah

#

only if theyre the same price

#

or similar

visual timber
#

ok

#

thanks

normal hawk
#

Would ultrawide be taken into account on Timespy? Or does it always try to do the same "Resolution"? Why would I lose a lot of performance on the same set up between 2 benchmarks with no thermal throttling?

Hey, I’ve been having a problem with crashing on my GTX 1650, ever since my power supply’s cooling became damaged it sometimes just stops, and only shows one frame until the power is off. Does not show the shutting down screen.

Yeah.

cerulean rover
#

wacky

#

I believe you can bench ts with the window off screen, maybe you could try that

normal hawk
#

Ye. I'll try that.

shadow sleet
cerulean rover
#

Somewhat sounds like your PSU's protection is just popping to shut the PC off to protect yourself if the PSU has become damaged..?

shadow sleet
#

Maybe, I’m getting a new case so that I can move fans around and put one back in my psu.

#

thank you tho

#

I have an absolute dinosaur PC with a 275W power supply so you really never know with this old piece of junk. I put the 1650 in cause I got it for free so I’m not even sure my PSU is strong enough for the card.

cerulean rover
#

uh, I would not open up the psu or re-use it at all if its being questioned

#

would rather spend like 60$ on a good replacement psu than risk having to do that

shadow sleet
#

it’s what I’m gonna do.

#

Thank you

magic wing
#

You can actually die if u touch something ur not supposed to in the psu

shadow sleet
#

lol, I’m lucky I ain’t dead then I’ve tinkered so much with that thing

normal hawk
#

Those capacitors hold a charge that'll kill ya quickly

shadow sleet
#

lucky my heart is beating at that rate.

#

I just am trying to slowly upgrade my pc but it’s so old and I have no money so I kinda just have to buy a whole new PC

cerulean rover
#

but since it is standard ATX, might not fit in old proprietary case and all

shadow sleet
#

thank you, my new case is coming tommorow anyway so it should fit just fine in a mid tower.

cerulean rover
#

Hopefully your mobo is standard too

#

Some boards are wacky with proprietary power connectors

shadow sleet
#

No mine is alright I think, me and my friends tried to jam a atx setup and into an itx setup that had the wrong motherboard, I learnt a lot and know that my intel mobo, yes, intel. Does have regular connectors

#

u probably won’t know half the names on this list of specs cause it’s such a dinosaur but I’ll drop em.

#

i5 3470
gtx 1650
275w intel power supply
intel q75 express (mobo)
and 16gb of ddr3 ram

cerulean rover
#

Should be standard

#

although I think q75 express should use standard 24pin but product images makes it look like its not the case

#

3470 is not that old

normal hawk
#

Its also better than the FX 6300 I'm pretty sure. Good lil i5

hasty sphinx
#

Does this seem ok for a 6900xt?

heady turtle
#

What model?

#

Also eh not if used

hasty sphinx
#

Gotcha. Its the ASrock phantom gaming one

hasty sphinx
#

I keep forgetting to check newegg

brave violet
heady turtle
#

Meh i mean you can but not really worth it

long forge
#

Which card do you guys think will holds it value better a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt or 3080FE?

heady turtle
#

Whichever one is cheaper - because it will be closer to msrp

heady stratus
vital oriole
#

Personal experience doesn't mean it's a big problem tho

#

It could just be a faulty unit

#

Unless the problem was actually widespread

heady turtle
#

Nitro is also a great card

long forge
#

Hm, do you guys know what the MSRP for the Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt, cant seem to find it

heady turtle
#

Doesn't matter it depends how much you get it, and after the shortage you'll roughly be comparing to msrp

long forge
#

Just for an example throwing it out there, Let say i got for $1300, what is the real MSRP? MSRP now or MSRP before? lol

vital oriole
#

1300?

long forge
#

$1300 Cad. sorry

vital oriole
#

oh cad

#

nvm then

heady turtle
rustic pulsar
#

What’s with no shuffles recently

heady turtle
#

There's been more just in stock gpus

vital oriole
#

tbh in stock better than shuffle anyway

#

cause shuffle has inflated prices these days

rustic pulsar
#

I mean prices still aren’t great

vital oriole
#

i know

#

but better than having to pray for shuffle win

#

when you can bite the bullet and get the card asap

heady stratus
#

$5,000 for the 4080, bet

vital oriole
#

eh

#

that tag is probably for mega scalped ones

#

like stupidly scalped that no one would even buy

heady turtle
#

Nah I'd expect similar to 3080 pricing now -actual not FE

karmic crag
#

I didn't know they had straight up in-stock gpus

heady turtle
#

Yeah just started doing it

fringe cradle
#

Is Raedon (or whatever it is) cheaper than GeForce?

keen nacelle
#

at the moment, 6900xt is nearly half the price of 3090 in this market

fringe cradle
#

Oh wow
Is there a reason for that hardware wise?

keen nacelle
#

people prefer nvidia, also 3090 has better rtx and dlss

little sleet
#

theres also the software and other things that nvidia has such as rtx broadcast as well as nvenc

keen nacelle
#

yep

#

for a casual user, price/perf, id go 6900xt (market prices)

heady turtle
#

casual high end*

#

RT with its perf/looks in games is a gimmick atm

keen nacelle
#

fair

heady turtle
#

And amd has a decent encoder

fringe cradle
#

What really upsets me is the massive price hike from the 3080 to the 3080 ti

keen nacelle
#

i meant out of the two* id go with 6900xt

heady turtle
fringe cradle
#

What I wanna know is that if the price hike is worth it when it comes to the gaming desktops

keen nacelle
#

we always compare 3090 price, but 3080 ti is same tier

heady turtle
#

6900xt msrp is 1k

keen nacelle
#

and a good bit cheaper

#

i mean with this market

#

6900xt asrock oc formula at 1600

#

vs 3080 ti market price

heady turtle
#

Asrock phantom at 1400 even better not oc potential but price wise

keen nacelle
#

true

#

but we dont know if thatll hold

heady turtle
#

We will see

late ferry
#

guys, so for some reason today, my brother's pc says that there is no GPU in the system

rustic pulsar
late ferry
normal hawk
autumn dune
#

That thing better cost like $20 or it’s not worth it

brisk flame
#

hype

#

all its gotta do is be cheaper/faster than the GTX 1650

#

and its a W card for people needing a card to go with their crappy prebuilt systems

#

nerd

#

i can power your graphics

#

and your cpu

hot folio
#

Should I bother trying to find the broken component on my gpu and replacing it or should I just bring it to microcenter for its warranty and get its value in a gift card

#

Screw it, I don’t got the time these days to mess around with trying to fix it myself

hot folio
keen nacelle
#

If its 30% slower than 6500xt

#

That puts it between 1050 and 1050 ti, if that

#

I'll buy that if it's $50

#

Lol

brisk flame
#

ill wait for game benches

#

30% tells me nothing

#

theres no msrp yet

#

once it becomes purchasable, i will be doing my research

keen nacelle
#

True

#

Only reason I'd buy it is if it's cheap, since it'll still be an upgrade to my partners 3400g with no dgpu

#

I still need them to check the psu

brisk flame
#

its 53W

keen nacelle
#

If its around 450w I'll grab a 770 or smthn

brisk flame
#

thats what makes it great, PSU dont matter

keen nacelle
#

I know

brisk flame
#

oh ic

#

yeah

keen nacelle
#

1050 ti is 75w

#

And 1650 has some 75w models

#

Not much of a difference

brisk flame
#

there are a few 1650 models without a PCIe power connector

keen nacelle
#

But they do exist

brisk flame
#

so the 6400 basically competes with those

keen nacelle
#

Still depends on the perf

#

If they make it a pcie powered version of the 6500xt, sure

brisk flame
#

there will be cards only powered by the slot for sure

keen nacelle
#

But if it's actually 30% worse than the card that barely beats 1650 as is, it won't be much of a competition

brisk flame
#

thought the 6500xt was better than the 1650

keen nacelle
#

Barely

vital oriole
#

1050ti with pcie connector exists too

#

it's stupid

keen nacelle
#

But the majority of models are pcie powered

vital oriole
#

ye

green harness
#

That or the 6800 TUF

tall lichen

So

#

Bros

#

And broettes

#

I'm considering buying a GPU off of FB market place. Any tips?

keen nacelle
green harness
tall lichen
#

I guess if I find one I'll ask if it's worth it

heady turtle
#

Yes just make sure it's legit

magic wing
#

Thats suspiciously low

rustic pulsar
#

Will nvidia 6000 series and intel 16000 release around the same time with the current pattern, I want a 6090 and 16900k lol

autumn dune
#

Get a laptop with a 6900xt and a 6900u

vital oriole
#

6900u isn't a thing

#

6900h, hx and hs does tho

cerulean rover
#

Sadly no 6900m

autumn dune
#

Oh mb

#

Whatever that top of the line Ryzen 6000 series laptop cpu is

magic wing

6800m max

keen nacelle
#

Mobile 3090 when

fringe cradle
#

Didn’t Nvidia announce another generation of some of the 30 series gpus

ivory herald
#

12GB 3080 to replace 10GB model, yes. Idk what else. Just a money grab knowing what people will pay.. pRip Oh right, 12 GB 3060 perhaps

royal steeple
#

is the extra few hundred worth it for the tuf 3080 ti versus the FE?

cerulean rover
#

few hundred, not really

heady turtle
#

Assuming you can get the fe version cheaper, no

hot folio
#

How stupid would it be to run a 3080 on a 750w PSU?

#

With a 5900x

cerulean rover
#

Prob going to go fine..?

charred raft
#

Yea thats fine

hot folio
#

What about a 3080ti? Im just asking because im in Microcenter rn and im wondering if I should get a new PSU on top of the new GPU

#

I can get either GPU for up to 300 out of pocket. ~100 for the 3080, ~300 for the 3080ti

heady turtle
hot folio
#

It’s a Corsair HX750 plat so it probably is ok

#

What about the 3080ti?

heady turtle
#

100 for 3080 3080 ti n

#

not worth

#

yo

hot folio
#

This is the 3080 I’m looking at

heady turtle
#

you have micro center voucher?

heady turtle
hot folio
#

Yeah I got a $1400 microcenter gift card from my broken GPU’s warranty

heady turtle
#

ahh

#

what microcenter?

hot folio
#

Westbury

#

NY

#

I’m kind of tempted to just get a 3070ti for like $800 and spend the rest on a nice monitor and headphones

heady turtle
vapid glade
#

Should I get an rx 570 4gb for $200?

heady turtle
#

200 usd?

vapid glade
#

Yes

hot folio
#

Thing is I would go for a 6800xt except I’m kind of wanting to give a 3080 a shot because they have a bunch in stock

heady turtle
#

what is that at the end

#

too much

heady turtle
vapid glade
#

Idek what that was

hot folio
#

True but DLSS and RT

#

The card that just died was a 6800XT

heady turtle
#

RT gimmick, dlss cool

hot folio
#

So I know how the performance will be

heady turtle
#

but you can get 6900xt for the 3080 price

hot folio
#

Actually yeah I think I’ll just get a 6900xt

#

Have the Zotac cards improved whatsoever?

heady turtle
#

but the 6800xt is wayyyyy better value

#

zotac 3000 is decent ye

hot folio
#

I have a $1400 gift card to use and they do have that 6900xt OC formula I’ve been eyeing in stock for like $1580

#

But then again I kind of want to gift this GPU to my dad once I go away to college to upgrade his workstation and Nvidia is the way to go for that

#

Damn so many decisions

#

Why am I so indecisive ssadge

cerulean rover
#

Let's dice choose for you

heady turtle
hot folio
#

If I end up going AMD I’ll probably do that and get a new pair of headphones with the $300 gift card

#

Time to find myself a dice in a microcenter

is the rtx 3080 tuf a good card?

Ehh I think I made a weird choice but I’m happy with it

I could’ve gone for a Strix 3080 for like $200 more but I went with another Aorus Master 6800XT because I liked the aesthetic

Anyone know why 70ti drivers are stuck at checking system compatibility

broken olive
#

3060ti price check?

#

Funny story, my Vega 64 overheated and melted so I have been gpu-less for over a month now

keen nacelle
#

before tax

#

could prolly sell psu for 30 and mouse for 40

keen nacelle

ah

#

didnt see that part

#

You really had to tempt my wallet with that

Except the only diy kit gpus available rn at GT 1030s

whos realistically spending 110$ on a refurbed 1030 in 2022

#

Is the only difference between the 3080 ti and the 3090 is that the 3090 has more memory so that it’s capable of 8k

vital oriole
#

3090 couldn't even do 8k well

#

also well technically there's cuda count difference too

green harness
#

Yeah they're the same GPU die but the 3080 Ti is a barely cut down version with less vram

vital oriole
#

3090 is kinda like titan, but not quite

#

it's overkill for anyone

green harness
#

80 Tis beat 3090s sometimes in some benchmarks for gaming, so for gaming they're close to interchangeable atm

vital oriole
#

3080ti would be highest for gaming that i would go

magic wing
vital oriole
#

yeah, sorry

heady turtle
vital oriole
#

yep

green harness
heady turtle
#

Pretty much

#

Like 1-2%

green harness
#

Yeah, so essentially indistinguishable

rustic pulsar

but 3090 is FHR hehe

green harness
#

Yeah, AIBs had those reference designs at launch of a lot of the 6000 series cards and they've been showing up at MCs recently

#

MC has even gotten the reference liquid cooled 6900xt which seemed to be oem only originally

im well aware of gpu userbenchmark reliability on information, so... any site where i can versus some gpus and cpus?

I asked this in a other chat butbi feel this is a better spot to ask: I am getting an RX 6600 brand new this Friday and was wondering with S.A.M. active with my 5600x cpu what performance should I expect? (Also idk if this is the right spot to ask tbh)

cerulean rover
#

Sam doesn't really help much, and all we could say is it'll work well

#

Specific perf will depend on too many things

full pine
#

Alright thank you

glad flame
#

Hi

#

Zotac

#

Who know this brand?

normal hawk
#

Lots of people

#

whats your question

#

they are a Major AIB

glad flame
#

I want to buy the 3060rtx

#

What do u think

#

?

normal hawk
#

which model?

#

and what price

glad flame
#

Dual

#

12gb

#

By zotac

normal hawk
#

whats the price

glad flame
#

600

normal hawk
#

600 USD? CAD?

glad flame
#

Us

#

700

normal hawk
#

thats too much for a 3060

glad flame
#

Ok

normal hawk
#

Are you in the US?

glad flame
#

No

#

I saw on aliexpress for 99$

#

Make sense?

normal hawk
#

don't buy on aliexpress for 99$, thats a scam

glad flame
#

Ok

#

Then what should i buy

normal hawk
#

What country are you in?

glad flame
#

I want the 3090 but tooo expensive

#

Israel

normal hawk
#

I dunno gpu prices there. I'd look for a cheaper 3060, Zotac is scalping their own cards so other brands would probably be cheaper. or look for a 6600XT

#

Try to find either below 500 USD if you can.

glad flame
#

6600xt?

normal hawk
#

AMD's GPU around the same tier.

glad flame
#

No amd plz

normal hawk
#

then look for a cheaper 3060 yeah

glad flame
#

Asus?

normal hawk
#

3060 ti or a 3070 in your price range would also work.

glad flame
#

3070 sound good

#

How much is it

normal hawk
#

I dunno prices in israel. you'll have to find one.

#

if you were willing to pay 700 USD for a 3060, look for a 3070 thats around 700-800$

glad flame
#

Ill try

#

WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE?

vital oriole
#

Well, market is pretty bad rn

glad flame
#

But why

normal hawk
#

Pandemic, Trade War, expensive and limited resources, Crypto and Scalpers, AIB's getting greedy and charging scalper prices, etc

glad flame
#

How about the 2060 rtx?

normal hawk
#

unless its used, probably more expensive than it should be.

glad flame
#

What?

normal hawk
#

How much is the one you're looking at?

glad flame
#

100$ cheaper than 3060

normal hawk
#

WAY too expensive

glad flame
#

Well

#

3060ti or the 3070

#

3060 has q2gb ram

#

12

#

3070 has 8

normal hawk
#

3070 is still way better. Vram is a non issue for the most part.

glad flame
#

200$ more that the 3060

#

Worth it?

hot folio
#

For $900? Personally I wouldn’t

normal hawk
#

900$ for the 3070? Including taxes?

glad flame
#

Yes

hot folio
#

If including taxes then maybe depends on the AIB

normal hawk
hot folio
#

Ahh this ain’t America?

#

What country

normal hawk
#

Israel

hot folio
#

Ohhhhh

normal hawk
#

Better than Hungarian prices

hot folio
#

Then yeah for $900 definitely

normal hawk
#

so yeah I'd say 900$ including taxes is good.

hot folio
#

I missed the message that said Israel

glad flame
#

It still too much wuuut

normal hawk
#

😦

glad flame
normal hawk
#

for any country not in the EU or the US, I judge based off AUS and Hungarian prices ngl.

#

Is this for a new PC or are you upgrading an old PC?

glad flame
#

New

normal hawk
#

Hungary is in the EU but they still have awful pricing compared to Germany, France, Etc

glad flame
#

This machine is for vr gaming

normal hawk
#

Switzerland is real bad though, cause they got a huge VAT on tech.

normal hawk
hot folio
#

That’s the real question lol

glad flame
#

2500

normal hawk
#

2500 for the whole PC? Do you have a part list I can look at?

glad flame
#

Ask..

normal hawk
#

A 900$ GPU would fit in that budget in the US. so I'm curious as to why yours doesn't

glad flame
#

Same here

hasty sphinx
#

Jeeze even a $1400 fits.

#

Because that's what my budget is.

glad flame
#

1400?

normal hawk
#

You don't need a 12900k or 5950x for VR Gaming if thats why yours is up there 😛

#

What CPU and Motherboard are you getting?

glad flame
#

I7

normal hawk
#

12700k?

glad flame
#

And asus mb

#

Z790

normal hawk
#

Did you get DDR5 Ram? you should get DDR4 instead. DDR5 kinda sucks and DDR4 is cheap

glad flame
#

Ddr4

#

Why is itcsuck

normal hawk
#

Its not as fast as it should be. The performance gain is minimal and not worth the cost

hot folio
#

DDR5 still isn’t at good as a high speed DDR4 set

hasty sphinx
normal hawk
hot folio
#

Jesus, I’m looking at Newegg Israel and these prices are insane, cheapest 3060ti is 1300 usd

hasty sphinx
#

I know the 6900xt and i7 are overkill for vr

hot folio
#

Found one for 960 usd but that’s still a lot

glad flame
#

I can get it for 700

hot folio
#

3060ti or regular 3060?

normal hawk
#

Regular

glad flame
#

Ti is the dual?

normal hawk
#

Nah Ti has 8GB of ram.

#

the one you were looking at has 12gb

glad flame
#

Yes

hot folio
glad flame
#

Ill go for it i think

#

3060 12gb

hot folio
#

What do you think of it @normal hawk

hasty sphinx
normal hawk
#

its an israeli exclusive combo

hot folio
#

Make sure you’re on Newegg Israel

normal hawk
#

so you gotta change to israel to view it

glad flame
#

Newegg?

#

Should i buy gpu online?

hot folio
#

The actual website this discord is for

normal hawk
#

Not too bad @hot folio But that price doesn't include VAT which who knows how much that will be 0.0

hot folio
#

Ahh the 700 includes VAT?

normal hawk
#

Cause he's lookin local yeah I think

hot folio
#

I’d buy it in person then, it’ll save you some money

glad flame
#

Buy what

normal hawk
#

the GPU

glad flame
#

Asus or zotac?

normal hawk

How much was the Asus one

The 3050 is okay. It would be Barely enough for VR imo depending on what game you're playing.

I'm looking at getting a Sapphire Nitro+ 6900XT because my 1060 is kinda kicking the bucket soon. the Sapphire card is listed for $1,500 on NewEgg right now but prices are expected to drop sometime soon. Should I wait for the price drop or buy it now?

So on card I understand the pcie4.0x8/16, but on the 6600 it has pcie4.0x8 and was wondering could I lose performance with that or should it be fine?

cerulean rover
#

Because of the weird setup, you may lose performance when using 3.0 x16 slot that would be limited to 3.0 x8 because of the card

But if i have a 4.0 slot I'm my Mobo I should be good?

Eh, I've seen/heard many cases of people getting msrp cards at bestbuy or otherwise. The $200/yr thing is not quite an issue. Go in person & snag a order that was canceled or even just a normal "drop".

green harness

I have heard of people snagging orders that were cancelled/not picked up, BUT I have heard many more stories of people trying to snag a card that showed up as in stock and being told it's not there after they waste the time going out to the store

Yea no doubt, oh well. Obviously gpu market (demand) is highly voltaile. Aib msrp is nearly a thing of the past. There are soon certain gpus that won't even have an actual MSRP pepechipseat

The lowest price I've seen for em is like 1249, which is hilarious considering I bought a Ti for less than that

cosmic bluff

It was pretty much just a vram boost but not 3080ti perf afaik

wicked hound
#

Well it does have less cores, could call it a half 3080Ti, or 3080T/3080i for short

green harness
#

I mean the performance differences between the 80, 80-12, 80 Ti, and 90 are all small

hardy shadow

one thing i’ve noticed is at micro center

#

there’s always gpus

#

like on the website it says there are none, but when i went in store i they had 3050,3060,3060ti,3070ti, 3080ti

#

only ones they didn’t have were 3090s,3080 base and 3070 base

livid idol
#

Yeah that's because MC doesn't do online GPU sales and they check ID so you can only get one a month

green harness
#

They also don't always have 30 series in stock at all locations

#

The one nearest to me has tended to have more stock recently though

#

Some of the more overpriced SKUs have stayed somewhat in stock for a while though. Like Strix 80Tis for example or Zotac anything

fading glacier

that moment when i bought an evga 3060 ti ftw3 to replace my old 750ti :3

livid idol

Yeah rumors on next gen are looking... weird

#

Possibly non-monolithic too

ivory herald
#

Imagine "overpaying" for a 12GB 3080 as well (notice base clock dropped down). Unless currently owning a decent gpu or getting a "good deal", quite a sketchy time to buy. Although "mid range" 40 series probably being 7+ months away is quite a while for most people to wait.

vital oriole

lolol

normal hawk
#

I wouldn't be shocked to see that change.

#

Could be an external power brick like what the Xbox one and Xbox 360 had.

#

But bigger.

brisk flame
#

so most standard house wiring is like 15-20A iirc

#

and your breaker is like 20A

#

so thats 2400w on a single breaker

#

max

#

here in the us

#

but more like 2200 bc its closer to 110v not 120v

normal hawk
#

🤔 how have i not tripped one lol

brisk flame
#

minus losses due to inefficiency

#

lets say 80+ gold

#

1980w

#

if you had a 2200w psu

#

thats the limit

#

for any piece of consumer hardware for the forseeable future

#

so basically you cant really have a gpu with an external power brick if its gonna require you to run a cable to some other outlet on the other side of the house

#

because no one is gonna do that

#

and the super overkill gpus are gonna be tripping breakers lol

#

oh max wattage is 80% or something

#

so a 1920w psu is the limit

#

so an 1920w psu is like, max, resulting in 1800w

sapphire is cheaper?

Sapphire nitro is better Than the Phantom gaming btw

hasty sphinx
#

Thank you.

brisk flame
#

is it though?

normal hawk
#

Phantom gaming was nice because it was the cheapest. Only reason.

brisk flame
#

the only thing i would expect to be better would be either the cooler or the power delivery

normal hawk
#

There was a gigabyte one that dropped down to 1299 but it's not in stock anymore e.e

brisk flame
#

figures

hasty sphinx
#

Yeah I'm pretty much trying to figure out the best way to keep the system cool without spending a crap ton.

#

So a cooler gpu fits right in.

normal hawk
#

Honestly these days. A good case will keep it cool enough as long as it's a 3 fan. Priority will always be CPU. Cause those just keep getting way hotter imo.

hasty sphinx
#

With all yalls help i think we've got it figured out, however now I can't decide on the 4000d or the p400a

#

It seems to me that the p400a has clearance issues with longer gpu and bigger aio 360 liquid

#

But def looks more pleasing than the 4000d

normal hawk
#

I like my 4000D airflow. But it was a tight squeeze for the Arctic freezer 360mm AIO.

green harness
normal hawk
#

But that's just cause it's crap

green harness
#

GDDR6X runs really hot, I've had it throttle in a game before (gigabyte 3080 oc)

hasty sphinx
green harness
#

You can get a higher frequency out of your GPU core if it is running cooler as well

normal hawk
#

Which gigabyte GPU do you have?

green harness
#

It's now my brother's, gaming oc

hasty sphinx
#

Hm. I may plan in getting a gpu cooler in the future.

normal hawk
green harness
#

I would prioritize GPU thermals when choosing a case and just make sure you have a decent cooler if you're running anything r5/i5

hasty sphinx
green harness
#

The p400a can do a 120mm in the rear and up to a 360 up front

#

Sadly no rad support on the roof

hasty sphinx
normal hawk
#

Ye it doesn't support top mounted that was it.

hasty sphinx
#

Oh ok. I'll stick with the 4kd then

#

I'll also be getting both a 4k and 1440p monitor.

#

Probably game on the 1440 and use 4k for everything else.

#

4000D is a real tight fit for the Arctic freezer II 360

green harness
hasty sphinx

#

I guess if you're building a new system yeah.

hasty sphinx
#

Will have 2 fans up top for exhaust and 1 in back for exhaust.

normal hawk
#

I was upgrading so everything was already in the case.

hasty sphinx
#

Or maybe just 1 up top

#

Idk. I know i gotta keep air pressure in mind with fan setups

normal hawk
#

I was too lazy to put the top fans back in. So i have the 3 intake and then the rear exhaust.

green harness
#

I like to go positive pressure so I have a 240mm rad up front (EVGA hybrid card), 2 140mm up top (the one in front of the CPU cooler is intake, other is exhaust) and then a 120mm rear exhaust

hasty sphinx
#

Oh ok so I could potentially do a push/pull configuration for the top then

green harness
#

I have an air cooler on my cput which is why I went with one exhaust one intake

#

I didn't want to be pulling air out from in front of the CPU cooler

hasty sphinx
#

Oh ok

#

NH-D15, but overkill tbh

Cant decide if I want white or black for the case

depends on how much you wanna spend

Gsync and freesync are interchangeable

Every "gsync compatible" monitor is actually a mid or high tier freesync rating

It's extremely rare to find monitors with the physical hardware required for true gsync certification, and none of those will pass standby power regulations that were recently enforced in a dozen or so states and the EU

Cause Asus as an example raised their prices on a few GPU's lmao. So it's more of scalper and AIB prices equalized.

#

Nvidia GPUs of course. AMD's are falling for the most part^
