    AMD Ryzen 7950x With Noctua NH D15?

    Not true. It's pretty much as good at low heat loads but AIO's are ultimately better when you get to higher heat loads. A 420 rad obviously has far more surface area than an air cooler.

    2080ti crashing at hotspot temp of 86C

    Yes, looks like it's uneven. Also I saw a similar post where someone said the screws included with their mounting backplate were too long. They used the screws from the original backplate and the temps went down. So maybe double check that at the same time.

    AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU Burns Up

    der8auer has a video about a 7900X unsoldering itself on an aorus master board, also another example with ASRock: https://imgur.com/a/1oNS9DC

    AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU Burns Up

    It isn't only happening on Asus motherboards. Asus just sell more motherboards than anyone else

    Public emergency alerts to be sent to all UK mobile phones

    When I unlocked my phone to shut it up the message disappeared and it seems there is no way to read it after that. I would have thought it should end up in messages so I could read what it actually said (I mean am I dodging a nuke or a giant meteorite here)

    AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU Burns Up

    From reddit it looks like Gamers Nexus are buying both the dead CPU and board off the guy in the article

    Deepcool Infinity LT520 vs ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 vs Lian Li Galahad 240

    If you want reliability then go air cooling but the Artic 280 will outperform any air cooler if max performance is more important.

    Does thermal compound go off?

    I had some Thermal Grizzly paste (might have been Kryonaut) go off. It had been opened before and it basically turned into putty.

    OcUK Ryzen 7 7800X3D review thread

    Not optimal but hardly no good. At 4K you will still be GPU limited most of the time (hopefully you are not gaming at 1080p with a 4090)

    Is it time to give up and move to consoles

    There is far, far more variety of games on PC and you don't need a top end GPU to play most of them

    Oh good grief, I need a new graphics card.

    Get the 4080 FE. I don't think it makes sense to buy an AIB 4080 that pushes the price up towards the 4090

    AMD 7700x and 360 AIO Target Temp

    Unless you are running multi-core work 24/7 then just adjust the fan curve if it's too noisy. The CPU is designed to boost as high as it can until it hits the thermal limit. If you don't let it do that then you are losing performance for no reason.

    Another game blowing up NVIDIA GPUS?? Here we go again!

    I used to buy Asus by default but I've become a bit of an MSI fanboy. I think their top end stuff is very good across the board (Suprim GPU's, MEG PSU's, Tomahawk/Carbon/MEG mobo's)

    FE 4090 what PSU is required please

    If you don't do any overclocking you might get away with it. A 1000W PSU is very cheap compared to a 4090 though ..

    4080 & 4090 Coil Whine Thread

    My 4090 Suprim X does have coil whine but it's only noticeable at very high frame rates. I've been playing divinity original sin 2 capped at 144 fps and I can't hear anything over my case fans. The card is otherwise a beast with excellent fans/cooling.

    3090 Gigabyte + Aorus z390 low performances, low score TimeSpy

    There is nothing wrong with your score. > 20K graphics with a 3080 isn't a small OC. You are comparing with heavily overclocked machines.

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Has anyone got the Gainward 4090 Phantom? I know it only uses 3 x 8 pin so is limited to 450W but it seems like a decent card for around FE price?

    Best way to connect RTX4090 power cables to PSU?

    There is no issue with using the single 2 x 8 pin cables from the Seasonic PSU you have. These deliver 300w.
