2.5 doesn't require external power but likely to be a little slower (basically laptop hard drive as opposed to desktop). If its just for backup, 3.5 probably most robust and a bit quicker?

Personally I'd get a bigger one.... 4Tb isn't the best price to capacity and a bigger drive is more future proof. At least 6Tb?

Its possible, they have different standards.

It does sound like a Bios thing. If you had to swap the CMOS battery it would have gone back to a very basic default settings. Same typically when you update the BIOS. Unfortunately it's not the easiest thing to help you with without having the exact same motherboard as you... You can't even do...

They will perform about the same, sata interface is the limiting factor really. I tend to use Samsung drives though just because I've never had any issue with them

Also what make of power supply? The 4090 is abeast, so you need a good PSU and not all 1000 watt PSUs are created the same....

Have you cleared CMOS? You may also need to do a BIOS update.

Got to admit I love the neatness of nvme versus sata :-)

I can't remember who it was but one of the bigh tech you tubers tested and the difference between a sata ssd and NVME ssd in real world usage like gamaing isn't as big as you might think. Certainly nowhere near the difference between a spinning hard drive and a sata ssd (which is weird...

Massive improvement to loading times using ssd over spinning disks and as others have stated they are so cheap now its a no brainer...

I used to use silicon radiator shoruds that sealed all the fans to the rad and saw much better performance than without and that was with normal square framed fans that fitted fairly closely. Was easily a couple of degrees...

I disagree, with the round frame that would be a LOT of leakage and therefore turbelence, so WILL have a meaningful effect. I guess you could make some sort of radiator shroud, used to be pretty common to see those back in the day. Not so common anymore. +1 Noctua, expensive but quiet and...

Ah... I have the version 1 of the reflection pump res, I've had it a couple of years I think. In addition the monoblock for my motherboard (Gigabyte X570 Aurous master) has the inlet on the right and outlet on the left at the same height. Add in the chipset waterblock and long story short, not...

Just realised I could have used torque static 90 ff and then 2 x hardline fittings , but these seem in short supply and would be much more bulky overall than the barrow multilink fittings are.

Hi Davido, Understood. I have got some of the quantum torque fittings, both 45 and 90, so I have felt them in the flesh, they are just too bulky for my taste (and very expensive)... It's especially bad when trying to do things like have a 90 mid hardline tube if you don't want to bend. So going...

I guess its a mixture of things for me, I've got a load of the previous generation in both of my main rigs but as they are no longer available, any loop changes can be problematic without replacing all my fittings, and given I'm not a fan of the quantum torque rotaries etc I'd have to go with...

Hi Davido, Good of you to offer to chat to us. I'm a long time EK customer, I've bought more of your products than I care to mention and been very happy with them. :-) One thing I was wondering the other day is whether there is a list of the RGB LED details for your various products...

TBH your language throughout this thread kinda says a lot about you. 'Bit' Bint' etc etc, how old are you 13? Woman are people not objects... You're actually managing to argue against your own argument without realising it...

Sooo still not shipped. Whole working week and counting waiting for a couple of fittings to be able to complete my build. I realise you guys are having technical challengese and that's just one of those things, but you haven't exactly made it clear either on your website or forum that these...

Thanks Gibbo, much appreciated! E-I
