[mortal grail]

Edge is ok

[frigid stag]

Yea I don’t need them anymore but they’re just there 💀

[mortal grail]

So is 2025

[frigid stag]

Had them from when storage was too expensive

[wise wigeon]

Edge is just a lil weird

[frigid stag]

128gb + hdd was the play

[wise wigeon]

Heard helly is decent though

[mortal grail]

2016 meta

[frigid stag]

Real

[tranquil pebble]

edge vs chrome is just what flavor of spyware you prefer

[wise wigeon]

That was meta til like 2030

[frigid stag]

It was a bit later for me cause I was cheap 💀

[wise wigeon]

2020*

[mortal grail]

Lol

[wise wigeon]

?

[mortal grail]

I had 2TB m.2 in 2017

I was baller af

[frigid stag]

Rich mf

[mortal grail]

LOL

[wise wigeon]

The lian li edge psu

[velvet summit]

Edging

[mortal grail]

Raid 0 too

[frigid stag]

Must’ve cost more than a cpu

[tranquil pebble]

mostly a joke

[wise wigeon]

Ah

[mortal grail]

It uh...

Did

[wise wigeon]

Idk like c1000 reviews well with aris

[velvet summit]

I was on a HDD boot until 2021

Or 2020

[wise wigeon]

But nzxt has me worried

[tranquil pebble]

I would buy a 128 TB SSD if I could afford it

[mortal grail]

Man you're masochistic

[velvet summit]

Nah
I just didn't turn off my pc

[tranquil pebble]

I went SSD in 2014

[velvet summit]

Problem solved

[frigid stag]

For a while my hdd was faster than am5 boot times

30 to 40 seconds

[velvet summit]

It did take like 30 mins to reboot though

[north crescent]

HDDs dont just slow boot time tho

[tranquil pebble]

that sounds like Windows 11 trying to boot on only 2 GB RAM

[mortal grail]

Here's how I see it, you change psu and odds are the clicking gets worse not better

Having whine and it's only a click is excellent

[wise wigeon]

Oh that’s not why I just want a beefier psu

[frigid stag]

It took me like 30 to 40 seconds trying it on windows 10

[mortal grail]

It's an active change that'll happen tho

[frigid stag]

Having start up processes running slows you down majorly

[velvet summit]

It was windows 10 on 8gb of ram and a HDD with like 10 startup apps (including Razer synapse)

[mortal grail]

The coil behaviour will change with the psu

[frigid stag]

That explains it

[wise wigeon]

C1000 is like $10 more

That’s mostly why

[mortal grail]

Dude 343 has like a million processes running always

Lmao

[wise wigeon]

Not the whine or anything

[velvet summit]

Ong

[frigid stag]

Ah

[mortal grail]

Up to you lol, but I would say that if whine bugs you, it's a big gamble

[velvet summit]

I've fixed my habit of having like literally 50 tabs open at once now

[mortal grail]

$10 more is compelling but that's definitely a gamble on whine

[velvet summit]

I only have 20 ish tabs now

[wise wigeon]

Honestly with the gpu I’m just worried there are underlying problems I haven’t figured out

[frigid stag]

I tried 40 tabs + Spotify one 1 ram stick 💀

It works well until it doesn’t

[velvet summit]

💀

[frigid stag]

Then it just freezes

[lone mango]

Isnt endeavor still pretty stable tho

[frigid stag]

It was partly troubleshooting/ got curious and wanted to find out

[velvet summit]

On yeah 8gb ram didn't really help the HDD situation
I was constantly using page file/swap so that made things slow

[wise wigeon]

The whine is a lil annoying but like idk it’s my paranoia about how the gpu arrived to me

[mortal grail]

You got time to work it out

Test as you go

[velvet summit]

Switched to ssd for the first time and was like "damn"

[mortal grail]

If you run like 95% of games first try then your gpu isn't screwed

[velvet summit]

16gb ram + ssd

[tranquil pebble]

it uses a LOT of Arch packages so it comes with many of the Arch quirks as a result

[velvet summit]

Actual game changer

[frigid stag]

Somehow windows crossed my dual boots together ☠️

[wise wigeon]

Except I have a week and a half of return period and not a lot of time to test

[mortal grail]

The f2p cod game is a really good test

What's it called

[wise wigeon]

Finals next week

[mortal grail]

I always forget the name

[velvet summit]

Most GPUs have 3 year warranty

[wise wigeon]

Warzone?

[mortal grail]

That's it

Pretty nasty system test

[tranquil pebble]

my monitor has a 3 year warranty

[wise wigeon]

Ugh 200gb download

[lone mango]

Oh it also follows its rolling release schedule too

[mortal grail]

If it passes warzone then you should be fine for the life of the card tbh

Give or take a fringe case here and there

[lone mango]

Thats the size of my linux partition and I have 3 games on there

[tranquil pebble]

EndeavorOS is literally just Arch with an easy installer and a few cosmetic additions

[lone mango]

Also including shader cache too

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-trvth-nvke-true-spongebob-gif-11533801592547853323

[wise wigeon]

Might also be a nit jelly of nitro

[tranquil pebble]

and I think a minor change to how yay works

[wise wigeon]

Thought I looked bad but it kinda grew on me

It*

[mortal grail]

It's cool until you realise it's just the same card with a light bar

Lol

[wise wigeon]

But Sfx does seem to be binned better

[mortal grail]

They run very similar

[wise wigeon]

Xfx*

[mortal grail]

Yeah xfx is always good on bin

[wise wigeon]

Pretty sure the nitro is warmer

[mortal grail]

They seemed to get all the good ones this gen

[wise wigeon]

But it also has lower rpm fans iirc

[lone mango]

I thought about putting it on my main system but I just love nobara so much

[wise wigeon]

I am a bit of a quiet freak

[mortal grail]

Both go to 3300 iirc

I can't remember cos mine is waterblocked rn

AMD has pretty standardised fans

Like they all just go to 3300

Lol

Some exceptions

[wise wigeon]

Nitro is about 6dcb lower

That’s actually a lot lol

[tranquil pebble]

i don't trust nobara personally. Not from a malicious pov but from a maintenance pov.

[mortal grail]

Merc is the noisy one tho remember lol

[wise wigeon]

On power bios is 32 roughly vs 45

That’s what over double

[tranquil pebble]

my merc 319 limited is pretty quiet

[mortal grail]

Pretty big yeah

[wise wigeon]

10dcb is the doubling point?

[mortal grail]

Each db is a magnitude of 10

But here's the important part

Your pc noise floor needs to match that of the gpu

Which even with top quality fans like noctuas

Rarely if ever possible

[hoary zodiac]

Noctua gpu

[mortal grail]

So pc's would be like, somewhere in the 38db range

[hoary zodiac]

What if

You put a fat heatsink on it

Like

[lone mango]

deshroud

[hoary zodiac]

5 slots beatsink

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

AND THEN

[wise wigeon]

Surprised how much cooler it it’s normalized to 35dcb

[mortal grail]

Tbh he not wrong lol

[hoary zodiac]

Have another slots of noctua fans

[wise wigeon]

53vs 62

[lone mango]

Then get ptm7950

[mortal grail]

Yeah cos the cooler thick

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

True

[mortal grail]

Merc and nitro both have vapor chamber

[hoary zodiac]

Not pulse?

[mortal grail]

Merc can definitely handle full tap it just saturates the heat at a higher point

[mortal grail]

The nitro's selling point is the vapor chamber

[wise wigeon]

Draws like 40 more watts

[mortal grail]

Same vbios

Both draw 550 peak

[hoary zodiac]

I wish Sapphire made nvidia cards

[wise wigeon]

Wish evga made amd

I miss evga

[sinful blade]

Sapphire makes good looking cards

[mortal grail]

I mean all of this is pretty redundant though if you remember these cards are up to like 110C hotspot just fine

[hoary zodiac]

That's pretty much sapphire

[wise wigeon]

Not the new one

[mortal grail]

Sapphire and XFX are pretty good

[lone mango]

I dont like how the new pulse has a plastic shroud

[wise wigeon]

Ngl it feels like I’m coming up with reasons because I kinda like the saphirr rn

[mortal grail]

I can tell lol

[lone mango]

My rx 580 was all metal i think

[wise wigeon]

Cool whine isn’t an issue

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

It's fine tbh

[wise wigeon]

I do like a quieter cooler

[hoary zodiac]

Pulses are the more affordable ones

[mortal grail]

You're not missing much at all being on the XTX honestly

[hoary zodiac]

I'm fine with the plastic

They're still solid cards for the price

[mortal grail]

It isn't until it screams

Some are ear piercing

Lol

[frigid stag]

Can’t you put a thermalpad on the gpu chokes to prevent coil whine?

[mortal grail]

Yeah you gotta find it tho bruv

[frigid stag]

[mortal grail]

That gpu has thousands of them

LOL

All high end gpus whine it's just easier to rma

[hoary zodiac]

Does that apply to motherboards too?

[mortal grail]

Yes

Cpus whine too

[frigid stag]

I mean I’ve never had it but definitely had psu/ fan noise

[hoary zodiac]

Good to know

[mortal grail]

It's coil resonance

[hoary zodiac]

So the extra heatsinks are actually worth the money

[wise wigeon]

Think im just upset between the way it came in Amd the zbar not cooperating with me

[mortal grail]

All parts have it it's just most are less likely

[lone mango]

But I think the higher end pulses are also plastic

[mortal grail]

I mean you can return it if it's really enough to convince you

[hoary zodiac]

My 5700XT was plastic

It was a great card tho

[mortal grail]

But like a replacement support is $5

[fresh timber]

Fantastic

[mortal grail]

And a clicking gpu with no whine is excellent luck

[wise wigeon]

I mean I have a spare support

[mortal grail]

High end gpus all whine in some capacity

[wise wigeon]

Not a zbar

[mortal grail]

Getting a clicking one is honestly lucky

[hoary zodiac]

Sapphire cards are generally always solid

[mortal grail]

So is xfx

Xfx is just loud

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

That's the only drawback

[hoary zodiac]

I've had sapphire cards for most of my pcs

They all performed really well

[mortal grail]

The fact xfx will take RMAs the way they do I'd really just see how the card goes @wise wigeon

You can make an rma note to best buy and xfx about the box

That will save you any worries about later

In case it comes up

[wise wigeon]

The cool whine is kinda like this https://youtube.com/shorts/nFnJG9buvtM?si=CkZfVAg0PKi7abV8

[mortal grail]

It's a disgusting box I wholeheartedly agree

[mortal grail]

That's the good kind

Like really good

Some cards actually scream like mandrakes man

Like REEEEEEEEEEE

[hoary zodiac]

Are strix any good?

[surreal comet]

It means you're just gaming too hard

[wise wigeon]

Truly the drawbacks of high end gpus

[frigid stag]

Bro that sounds like a saw

[hoary zodiac]

Feels like they're overrated

[mortal grail]

Strix have been meh for years

[surreal comet]

@wise wigeon got my extensions in

[frigid stag]

Mines just completely quiet

[surreal comet]

Looks much better imo

[hoary zodiac]

Strix or ASRock

[wise wigeon]

Yeah I’m just a particularly paranoid person

[mortal grail]

Like every high end card of the last 2 years starts sounding like that, ends screaming like a centrifugal supercharger dude

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Just relax man, if it passes all the tests you throw at it, it's ok

Just leave a note with best buy about the state of the box so it's on record if you're truly worried about that

I don't even use the zbar lol

The xfx cards work well vertical

Need food

Can't walk

Can't wait to walk again

[frigid stag]

I guess 20/ 30 series are safe

[mortal grail]

Nope

My 3090 whined

Lmao

[frigid stag]

Fe?

[mortal grail]

Tuf

[wise wigeon]

My 3080 was fine

[frigid stag]

Oh

[mortal grail]

[surreal comet]

Ngl I wanna try a vertical mount

Seems kinda iffy though

[mortal grail]

My 3080 eagle was ok

[wise wigeon]

Evga fans just get kinda loud

I mean they go up to like 3500rpm so

[mortal grail]

If the riser works there's no risk at all

[surreal comet]

Fair enough I suppose

I don't trust this card that's like 5 pounds

Thing weighs more than my cat

[mortal grail]

Lol

Ikr

[wise wigeon]

Your cat is 5 lbs?

[mortal grail]

Man it's cool to have so many xfx cards in this server

[surreal comet]

I have a cat that's closer to 16 pounds

Fat thing

[mortal grail]

Damn that's a light car

[surreal comet]

XFX represent

[surreal comet]

Thanks it's a Mazda

[wise wigeon]

Keith I genuinely dunno how you got the support to work

It refused to line up well

And when tightening it was moving the gpu everywhere

[mortal grail]

You need to like add it with the gpu out

[surreal comet]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

Screw on the end

[wise wigeon]

I did

[surreal comet]

Wish I took pics during the install

Did you watch the guide

[wise wigeon]

The three screws

[mortal grail]

Ye

There's a guide?

Lol

Mine never fit in any of my cases so I gave up using it

💀

[surreal comet]

https://youtu.be/qin6jXFsRO8?si=fvL-fSNyUu6u3bRp

From XFX

I found it after I installed mine

Not too great of a video but it should give you a general idea

[wise wigeon]

It wouldn’t line up unless I pulled up and like towards the case

[mortal grail]

AHH I MOVED MY FOOT

[wise wigeon]

And it didn’t line up well even then

[surreal comet]

Weird

For me it went right into place

[wise wigeon]

Like in the video it would not line up like that

Without it I still had to adjust but it wasn’t nearly as bad

[wise wigeon]

I mean based on the stripped paint on the video looks like they had scuff getting it in too

[surreal comet]

XFX staff gave up halfway through and used glue

Ngl looking at the PC makes me wanna get a full black air cooler

But my current one is good enough

[wise wigeon]

Makes me wanna get an aio

[surreal comet]

So not worth spending some 50-60 bucks for a better looking PC lol

[surreal comet]

Id get an aio but it feels overkill

Plus I've never set one up before

[wise wigeon]

It’s similar performance is the issue

I mean they’re piss easy

[surreal comet]

Yeah lemme cool my 100 watt CPU with a 200 dollar aio

[wise wigeon]

Easier than an air cooler

Well unlike you

[ancient swift]

120 Assassin is like 42$ and its great.

[wise wigeon]

9800x3d get hot hot

[lone mango]

thermalright aio

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

[wise wigeon]

Like people hit 90c compiling shaders how

Hot*

[mortal grail]

Only need a single tower for that chip tbh, but A620 SE does everything for $30

[wise wigeon]

I was high 70s compiling shaders

[lone mango]

Ok and my 6 core hits like 73 cinebench

[ancient swift]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Peerless-Assassin-Aluminium-Technology/dp/B09S3BGN6M

[surreal comet]

I've never seen this cpu go over 65 with the current air cooler

[ancient swift]

This ones great

[wise wigeon]

It’s like 60c in games

[frigid stag]

Mine is like 90w tdp I still see over 200w sometimes

[mortal grail]

You're really fine with a single tower lol

[frigid stag]

Glad I got an aio with mine

[surreal comet]

Yeah lol

[surreal comet]

Don't look bad

[wise wigeon]

7800x3d pulls way less

Somehow

[mortal grail]

7800X3D is like 2% slower than a full aio on a stock cooler

[frigid stag]

Real af

[mortal grail]

https://youtu.be/lgiBcD7bBaw

[lone mango]

It has to because the cores are under the cache

[surreal comet]

My 7800x3d could probably be cooled if I blew air onto it

[wise wigeon]

9800x3d is hot as heck

[lone mango]

The cache is like a blanket over the cores

[surreal comet]

For the performance it's absurd

[mortal grail]

@surreal comet https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MFvD4D/id-cooling-frozn-a620-pro-se-58-cfm-cpu-cooler-frozn-a620-pro-se

[surreal comet]

Makes the aio idea overkill

[mortal grail]

$30 and solid

[lone mango]

Cant boost very high with the blanket of cache over it

[wise wigeon]

It’s aesthetic and I mean just easier to work in

[mortal grail]

Overkill for anything not some crazy i9 tbh lol

[surreal comet]

Good looking cooler tbh

[lone mango]

70c is not hot as heck just chill lmaooo

[surreal comet]

Might grab that

[mortal grail]

Or at least in reasonable capacity

[mortal grail]

It's a good buy if you want future proofing (Which I rarely say)

[wise wigeon]

I’ve never hit 80c compiling shaders before til yesterday

[frigid stag]

Aren’t they doing the 95c meme

Or is it lower on the x3d

[mortal grail]

X3D not like that

Well the 7800X3D isn't

[lone mango]

Itll still boost high but its not as bad on the 9800

[wise wigeon]

Nah I see people say theirs gets up there

[mortal grail]

7000 X3D peaks like 73C generally if you have a good enough cooler

With *sudden peaks slightly higher

[surreal comet]

Night get the pro se then

I think an aio would look "cleaner" but thats a ton of money for a slightly nicer build lol

[wise wigeon]

I mean thermaltake does have 360 aios at around $60

[mortal grail]

FX360 pro and thermalright both have them beat in perf and price

[frigid stag]

They know some of their customerbase are dumb enough they would rather overheat than buy a new bracket or budget air cooler

[surreal comet]

Dunno if I'd get a cheaper aio but maybe I'm just skeptical

[mortal grail]

Fr

[surreal comet]

Some tech just sounds sketchy when it's cheap

Even if I know it's probably fine

[wise wigeon]

I meant Thermalright dunno why I said thermaltake

[frigid stag]

Thermalright are fine

[mortal grail]

The TRs and FX pros match with the best aios in the market

[mortal grail]

Ah

[mortal grail]

Price isn't everything

[frigid stag]

Eh I doubt this is beating a Lian li 360 or one of those coolermaster atmos

[wise wigeon]

https://a.co/d/h4U5Rgm

[frigid stag]

This is good ye

[mortal grail]

The fx pro did

[frigid stag]

This?

[mortal grail]

Ohp I'm wrong

It's 2C off

[surreal comet]

Rgb.... So sad....

[worn wave]

B-b-but water cooling must be better because it's more expensive!

[frigid stag]

It literally is and both of them are aio’s afaik

[wise wigeon]

https://a.co/d/gNeFnlY

[mortal grail]

Notte is only 1C off atmos and galahad ii and galahad ii had the pump failure problems

And Notte isn't even their best

Their best is the frozen aseteks

[wise wigeon]

Like the one I just posted?

[surreal comet]

Damn that's cheap

[worn wave]

1C seems like within margin of error via thermal paste, mounting pressure/eveness, fan speed reporting etc

Though I suppose noise normalized would avoid the fan issue

[frigid stag]

Depends largely on the wattage and the cpu

[mortal grail]

The one you posted isn't asetek

[surreal comet]

My noctua is better because it was free

Because I say so

[frigid stag]

Should be a 14900K unlocked to truly show the difference

[wise wigeon]

Ah

[mortal grail]

The asetek ones are separate lineups

They cost a little more too

For like 2C?

It's really not worth

[frigid stag]

They’re ok but expensive

[mortal grail]

2C is like 10 watts of cooling

It's nothing

[surreal comet]

Didn't realize good AIOs were only like 50-60 bucks lol

[frigid stag]

Well there’s better but ye this is pretty good

[surreal comet]

Good enough for my CPU anyways

[mortal grail]

It's really really hard to beat the TR for perf/price

Id cooling is the best alternative

[wise wigeon]

People love the arctic freezer line

But they have some chonker rads

[frigid stag]

Mounting them is such a hassle

[mortal grail]

Freezer III is peak amd

But apart from that arctics coolers are meh

[frigid stag]

It feels like you’re breaking your motherboard’s pcb when screwing it in

[surreal comet]

I think I might just get that pro se air cooler from earlier

The large tubing of the aio looks kinda meh looking at pictures online

[mortal grail]

It's a good cooler

[surreal comet]

Yeah

I like the all black look I think it'd pair well with the rest of the build

Installing air coolers is a pain but meh

[mortal grail]

ID cooling is first to market with a competitive product to TR in all 3 important categories

You have SE-XT at $17

Pro SE at $30

And FX pro at $60

All competitive to TR

Only other brand to do this

The slight drawback is fan noise

For masochists

[wise wigeon]

What is that single, double, aio?

[frigid stag]

Makes for a good ram cooler I guess

If it wasn’t so overpriced

[mortal grail]

Which one?

[frigid stag]

Could diy it into a ram cooler

[wise wigeon]

The way you listed it

[frigid stag]

They have 360’s and 240s

[mortal grail]

Oh

SE207XT?

Is a $17 single tower

A620 Pro SE is a $30 dual

[wise wigeon]

Yeh

[mortal grail]

FX360 pro is a $60 360mm

[wise wigeon]

That’s what I mean

[mortal grail]

Ye those are the 3 price targets I would consider for good budget coolers

With the occasional exception for aesthetics on a $45 240mm

[surreal comet]

I think for my build the air cooler will look better

Thanks chat 🫡

[wise wigeon]

Aio generally looks more clean

[surreal comet]

Dealing with air cooler install always makes me want to drink though

[wise wigeon]

Because it ain’t a brick of aluminum

[frigid stag]

Bro just decided

[worthy meteor]

crappy prebuilts need some way of advertising watercooling in a crappy case

[mortal grail]

Lol

[surreal comet]

There's something industrial about a whole ass block of aluminum

nothing fancy just block of metal

[lone mango]

Fr we need a 92mm version

[frigid stag]

They sell them separately. Only thing they’re good for is to hack apart and make it a diy ram cooler

[wise wigeon]

Look I used a ninja 5 at some point

[worthy meteor]

the optiplex special

[wise wigeon]

[lone mango]

This is amazing

[worthy meteor]

Yes, it's also a cheaper way of advertising watercooling while building random rigs for reselling

[wise wigeon]

It’s beautiful reply

Really*

Fans only went up to 800rpm

For obvious reasons

[craggy shoal]

needs a bigger heat sink tbh

[worthy meteor]

I always preferred this thing

[frigid stag]

That looks a bit outdated

[wise wigeon]

It came with a screwdriver because the installation

[mortal grail]

92mm radiators, 184mm radiators

[mortal grail]

The goat

[worthy meteor]

huge heatsink is quite fun

[surreal comet]

What a beautiful block of metal

[fresh timber]

Fr

[mortal grail]

It even looks like a heater lmfao

[wise wigeon]

Think something that throws me off the xtx xfx is the backplate

[nocturne flicker]

80mm radiators. Put it in Dell PCs so they can reuse their crappy fans

[surreal comet]

It could look weird with the xfx

[mortal grail]

Give it deltas

[surreal comet]

Xtx is pretty silver for the most part

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[craggy shoal]

What the Asus Astral should've been

[lone mango]

Yeah the gold accented one is really corny

[frigid stag]

Could also just hook it up into the ac

[surreal comet]

That one is for the fortnite children let them have it

[frigid stag]

Modern problems require modern solutions

[fresh timber]

@frigid stag do I know you

[surreal comet]

Today I shall get a single fan aio and pair it with the most power hungry Intel chip I can find

[frigid stag]

?

Ye I’ve been here for a while

[fresh timber]

You seem familiar

[craggy shoal]

?

[frigid stag]

I’ve been here for weeks

[surreal comet]

Goose im your third largest fan

[fresh timber]

Not this server

[frigid stag]

Oh

[fresh timber]

Other server

[frigid stag]

I’m in the ms one too

And tech source

[fresh timber]

Woohooz??

[frigid stag]

Idk that one

[nocturne flicker]

Only 1C cooler than normal

[wise wigeon]

Maybe part of the nitro plus aesthetic for me is the backplate not being as ugly has xfx’s

[frigid stag]

[craggy shoal]

I could go for a woohoo rn

[fresh timber]

You want

[surreal comet]

I think the XFX is a nice looking card

[frigid stag]

Oh wtf

[surreal comet]

The silver accenting is nice

Ugh idk it’s like I kinda prefer the aesthetics now, and it is quieter for $30

But you said I got lucky with whine

[frigid stag]

What

My ps4 was quiet as heck

[surreal comet]

Okay I lied I won't get the air cooler I don't wanna rip my motherboard out to install a new air cooler

[mortal grail]

LOL

[fresh timber]

Mines is a jet engine

[frigid stag]

[lone mango]

Yeah any console can be loud

[wise wigeon]

Ps5 is quiet too

[lone mango]

Gotta repaste

[rancid juniper]

@wise wigeon

[rancid juniper]

GPU flexing?

[mortal grail]

In a white build that thing basically looks all silver

[wise wigeon]

Dad a clean at mousepad

[frigid stag]

You need an msi inspire

[wise wigeon]

But in a black build gunmetal

[rancid juniper]

Deepcool

[fresh timber]

What about it

[rancid juniper]

RADEON VII

Deepcool/Cool

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

That do be my thing

[fresh timber]

Good products

[rancid juniper]

yes

[surreal comet]

They should make it so you don't need to take out a motherboard to put in a new air cooler

On jod

[wise wigeon]

Some use the base Amd brackets

[hoary zodiac]

I hate the clips

They belong in hell

[frigid stag]

Inspire better

[surreal comet]

I feel like I'm gonna break something anytime I pull my mobo out

[rancid juniper]

why not open up the pc back case and remove the bracket from there while the motherboard is installed?

[gentle canyon]

that looks horrible ngl

[mortal grail]

They could inspire better aesthetics smh

[frigid stag]

Bad taste tbh

[tranquil pebble]

you know what else belongs in hell? hornets.

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

At this point it’s aesthetic and much quieter gpu vs potential I get cool whine with the nitro

[gentle canyon]

i think zotac one looked fire

It's up to you man

[frigid stag]

It’s so clean

[gentle canyon]

that picture makes it look better

[frigid stag]

Na that’s rose gold

[wise wigeon]

Also a shorter gpu if I decide to migrate into a mini tower later

[frigid stag]

This would be like champagne I guess

[mortal grail]

It do be lookin hella similar tho

Lmfao

[wise wigeon]

Ugh bad whine can be worse

[frigid stag]

That’s the one

[wise wigeon]

But jet engine also not fun

[mortal grail]

Bad whine can be fatal man

[hoary zodiac]

Duct tape

[mortal grail]

And then weeks of rma

I already unplugged all four walls in my room (plugs on all four of my walls)

[hoary zodiac]

How does one unplug a wall

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[wise wigeon]

I think I’ll take my chance with the nitro

C1000 vs edge 1000 vs rm1000e

[frigid stag]

Iirc the e has sleeve bearing fans

Wouldn’t buy that one if true

[wise wigeon]

It also got ugly daisy chain cables

[hoary zodiac]

You should open up the psu and touch the capacitors

It'll make you run quieter

[wise wigeon]

Edge is a lil weird in a non dual chamber

[frigid stag]

Overclocking psus like it’s 2008

🔥

[wise wigeon]

But it has very nice cables

[frigid stag]

The nzxt psu is nice

[hoary zodiac]

Aren't they OEMs

[wise wigeon]

C1000 biggest thing is that it’s nzxt

Otherwise it reviews well

[frigid stag]

?

[hoary zodiac]

NZXT doesn't make the psu

[frigid stag]

So what if it’s nzxt

[hoary zodiac]

They're oems

[frigid stag]

Ye

[wise wigeon]

It’s a cwt psu

I mean nzxt support

My trust in them is a bit variable rn

But it’s a well reviewed unit

[mortal grail]

It doesn't need to be CWT

[fresh timber]

Bet

[wise wigeon]

Yeah I’m just sayin that’s the manufacturer

[mortal grail]

Lots of other good oems lol

[fresh timber]

I’ll touch my spare psu

[wise wigeon]

https://hwbusters.com/psus/nzxt-c1000-atx-v3-1-psu-review/

[fresh timber]

Can I touch you

[wise wigeon]

You’re a minor please don’t

[fresh timber]

No im not

lol

I’m 18 bucko, nobody is safe besides minors

[wise wigeon]

Still a baby please no touchy

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/you-youre-your-yourself-straight-face-gif-26118421

[wise wigeon]

NZXT cables not as nice as lian li

[fresh timber]

Toug

[wise wigeon]

Still decent

[fresh timber]

Use extensions

[wise wigeon]

Lian lid are basically the same look as extensions

https://lian-li.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/edge-022.webp

Very clean

NZXT is like old fashion sleeving

[mortal grail]

I would take an edge over the C series if similar or near similar price by a mile

RMe too

Purely cos sleeved cables

Native sleeved >>>> extensions

[wise wigeon]

New rme is 180

C1000 is 144

[frigid stag]

Anyone tried doing their own custom cables?

[wise wigeon]

Lian li is 150

[opaque sedge]

My steam deck hasn’t shipped… officially 24hrs… i rarely order things from amazon but jesus even with minimal influence that app has made me impatient af

[mortal grail]

Edge sounding best

[mortal grail]

Me

[frigid stag]

Wait don’t custom cables void you warranty

[mortal grail]

No

[wise wigeon]

Only thing with lian li is it’s weird design

[frigid stag]

Did you buy a kit or

How does it work

[wise wigeon]

But the air it sucks from the gpu area is minimal

[mortal grail]

Crimping set, sleeves strands, connectors and pins if you're unhinged enough to spend 2 afternoons making a set from scratch

Buying extensions and repinning is easier tho

But not perfect

[wise wigeon]

I was surprise how high up the c1000 is in overall performance

[frigid stag]

I might be if ready made ones cost too much

[mortal grail]

The edge is a very serviceable design, you can clean the fan, the cables are good, the L shape is the only catch and this is for lian li case compatibility

[frigid stag]

Oh someone’s in vc 💀

Bros waiting for someone to join

I think he saw my message cuz he left

[mortal grail]

I got a whole replacement cablemod set new in box for like 30 usd

[wise wigeon]

It’s just you don’t mount it fanside down so I’ll be mounting it fan facing the gpu

[frigid stag]

Oh

[mortal grail]

That won't have issues

[frigid stag]

So they make custom cables for each psu?

Or are they inter compatible

[mortal grail]

Major brands

[frigid stag]

Honestly I’d take that over extensions

[mortal grail]

If you know the pinout or they do, you can use them, they're labelled per psu

[frigid stag]

As long as the warranty doesn’t get void

[mortal grail]

It's technically better in every way until you need a new psu lmao

[frigid stag]

lol true

[mortal grail]

Cablemod replace other parts if their cables mess stuff up

[wise wigeon]

C1000 is #1 and 2 in different overall perf categories but it’s cables are less nice

[mortal grail]

I would do edge of those three

Not even a discussion tbh

[wise wigeon]

Plus the 2025 edge isn’t updated in the list yet

[frigid stag]

Ye I’m surprised how they’re still running after the 4090 melting adapter fiasco

Must’ve cost them a lot of money to replace them

[mortal grail]

But also the rmx is amazing and basically a 1000W in this discussion

[mortal grail]

They replaced the 4090s that were affected by melting

Like

I think they STILL do

[frigid stag]

Oof

[mortal grail]

They repair them and resell

Small loss

[wise wigeon]

Like I’m down with paying for the rm1000x but it’s a $50 premium

[mortal grail]

No I mean

[craggy shoal]

who pung me

[mortal grail]

The RM850X is basically a 1000W

[frigid stag]

~~ they might be profiting with how current gpu prices are ~~

💀

[mortal grail]

It's that well built

[wise wigeon]

Edge 1200 is actually a smidge cheaper than the rm1000x

[craggy shoal]

sounds like the back rooms in here

XFX branded Honda Civic

[opaque sedge]

The fact that he could have easily gone to the freeway too since the street is kind of next to it

The speed limit was 25 btw

[craggy shoal]

25 mph speed limit is goofy

[opaque sedge]

In the middle of a city

[craggy shoal]

still goofy

should be 30-35

[opaque sedge]

Small roads and pedestrians

[craggy shoal]

yeah sounds like 45

[opaque sedge]

There are sections with 35

[craggy shoal]

might as well make it 50

75 mph when not a school zone time

80 because it's Texas yee haw

@mortal grail think I figure out why my bracket wouldn’t work

Without screws the ip shield is actually slightly bent inward

[frigid stag]

💀

[wise wigeon]

Getting it screwed in straightens it out

[frigid stag]

These people can’t be real

[wise wigeon]

But also

[mortal grail]

Oh so it works now?

[mortal grail]

You are factual

[wise wigeon]

Think it being bent out the box messed up all my display ports

[opaque sedge]

Thicc boi

[wise wigeon]

No but it’s probably why it won’t line up with the case

[opaque sedge]

I used to have a thick boy too once…

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pablo-lonely-alone-gif-12928789

[frigid stag]

[wise wigeon]

All the display ports are like this

[mortal grail]

Oh god

Oh god

[velvet summit]

i cant say that i've ever seen this

[opaque sedge]

Ik a lot of people complain abt gpu size nowadays but aesthetically speaking… large gpus look awesome

[wise wigeon]

I mean it works but uh definitely not ideal

[mortal grail]

HA AND IT'S NOT ME THIS TIME

AHAH

[wise wigeon]

So I think ima risk that nitro plus lol

[mortal grail]

FAIR ENOUGH

Oops

Caps lmao

[velvet summit]

how does a displayport bend itself ???

[wise wigeon]

The ip shield is slightly bent with no screws in

Io

Like a 15-20degree bend

[opaque sedge]

Ngl these people selling old hardware for extreme prices to unaware buyers are worse than nvidia imo

[opaque sedge]

That sounds like a lot

[wise wigeon]

So when screwed in it straightened out but yeah the display ports are like this

[opaque sedge]

Def return imo especially considering best buy only has a 14 day return period

[fresh timber]

ngl id spend $500-700 on a 3090 nothing more

[wise wigeon]

Ok not 15

More like 5 degrees

But uh yeah

[frigid stag]

Dudes a vintage tech collector. He thinks old gpu = more valuable

[opaque sedge]

Eh even then you have newer options with similar or better performance around that range, like the 4070super 7900gre 7900xt

[wise wigeon]

Think I’m a lil justified to return it

[frigid stag]

Well there’s some selling for over 1k new

[fresh timber]

less vram

[frigid stag]

3090 and 3090 ti

[opaque sedge]

Hmm maybe if you need the cuda and vram for productivity perhaps
