That Amazon case looks interesting especially for the price so nice find. OP may want to look hard at that one. I like the proportions but not crazy about the TG. Yeah plus one for tuning the cpu. I just checked “enforce all limits” in bios...

You can also put a 280mm RAD in there, side mounted. Fans pushing through the RAD, As an exhaust; the temps are barely worse than an open case. This MATX case fits a 360mm cooler (you could put your ITX mobo in there). I hear the quality on...

Ah. Well not out if the weeds yet are we..

Wow first time I have seen any FEs in stock around here at BB. I’m way past the point of looking at $400+ cards now. Looking to pick up a 6600 or xt for my sff box next.

FE's @ BB

The AM4 platform will have longer legs as games get more multi threaded. The 6700k while still capable is hampered by its thread count already on some occasions. Unless you want to get into a ddr5 platform , meaning living with the 6700k and...

I want to say it’s something like 33 liters so not sff - meaning 20L or less -but the Fractal Meshify C mini was the best all around compact mATX case for a long time. Maybe still is. The Noctua D15 fits as well as 315mm GPUs and has up to 280mm...

Nor I. I do a lot of sff building and wouldn’t compromise noise/temps to the levels needed for such a build personally.

The Sliger S620 can take the D15. Still you may have to tune your 12900 for sustained loads like renders and such.

this is why your 3090 crashes on your 750w psu....

I watched this last night. Super interesting and does bring up some valid concerns. Going forward regarding the rumored power needs of the next gen GPUs especially. I’m sticking to my principles of living in the 250W range of performance for heat...

Whoa now, get out of here with all that fancy evidence. I've setup/run somewhere around 1000 cards since 2017 and Ive had a grand total of 0 failures (aside from a few DOA's). None of them had artifacting, all my cards that are/were sold are...

159 for the 5600 ryzen 75 for a b550 mb 104 32gb 3200 ddr4 thats a lot of performance for 350$

The dishwasher isn't going to heat it more than the GPU itself ;) Kelvarr take off the heatsink and fan. You can wash the chips and PCB with distilled water and a mild dishsoap. Same with the heatsink. Or you can put the heatsink in the...

I use CRC Contact cleaner spray. About 5bux a can and safe to use. I spray the living shit out of boards/cards/electronics that have that nicotine stench and it cleans it right out. Dries fast too...

I bought the Tuf 3070ti at 649 ( Newegg had that promo code for $50 off a while back) and the card is terrific. It performs as expected and stays cool. I would like the 3070s to be under 600 by now but at some point the extra 20-70 bucks is just...

Yet it's still a new 3060 Ti available for purchase for less than $500. I'm sure a lot of people don't "need" this card, but it seems to be in quite high demand these days. I went ahead and purchased one - as I had 50 EVGA bucks to use.

Just one. The U12A has the better fans and of course you get two but this was on the shelf at Microcenter at the time. I’m pretty sure Gamers Nexus reviewed the Freezer 34 and liked it.

Not even, this is basically SEC extortion money. The SEC fucked up, can’t prove that Nvidia did anything illegal intentionally but can’t walk away empty handed. So they drop the “give us something so we can make this go away” line.

So they settled but weren't found guilty, paying $5.5m to get it off the books looks to be way cheaper than fighting it another year in court. I mean the SEC issued the charges 4 years ago and couldn't make it stick. Even now if you asked Nvidia...
