    Pricing error on the Legion 5?

    I just bought the Legion 5 standard, R7 5800H RTX3070 for my nephew (I put £430 towards it as a going to college /Bday present). Beats spending £870 he had getting lower end i5s maybe rtx 2060 laptops, they would have sufficed but I spoiled him a little, whats fanily for! Lol. I think for his...

    Pricing error on the Legion 5?

    I've checked other websites and they are the same, it appears that the larger SSD commands the higher price? odd.

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Some vendors even allow you to update bios via software download now as well, no need for a USB, if you got a compatable CPU that is, AMD sent some basic chips out to people who requested/needed them for updates that you used to update your bios then put your new CPU in and you had to send back...

    Need Advice on Radiators

    The loop I currently have now was a hell of a journey of triumph and stupidity on my part haha, I wont argue that the joy is in the building, took me 3 days and I went hardline right off the bat. A primary reason for doing another loop is my son turned 5 and has expressed considerable interest...

    It was more to do with density and the static oressure required to push through them from my research and advice given on a discord channel and reddit. Here is the review for these rads : http://thermalbench.com/2017/02/07/hardware-labs-black-ice-nemesis-gtr-560-radiator/5/ Its not going to to...

    Might be a while off yet as waiting on zen 3 and tempted to wait for 20GB RTX 3080 or suoer or ti whatever they call it lmao, or even RDNA2. But I'm looking foward to it myself haha, a bit of a passion prohect really. Going all in on my Darth Vader theme, thinking along the lines of Project...

    Need Advice on Radiators

    The res plates I've got my eye on have a D5 built into the back, not sure If I'm going with them yet as it would only look good from the front unless I angle them. Regardless I hadnt thought of adding another pump to each loop but its something to consider especially for the redundancy side of...

    Need Advice on Radiators

    I hadnt though they look great. What I haf though about doing was using the EK 240mm Res plates, 1 for each loop that have a D5 pump on the back and mounting them vertically and using an aquacomputer controller that I can mount in the drive bay at the front of the case, then use 2 small fan hubs...

    So I just bought 2 of those Nemesis GTR Radiators, should be Here Sunday/Monday - can test fit them and make sure i got enough space, should do in that case lmao. I'm guessing the D5 pumps should be sufficient with these?

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    If your going price/performance then the answer is basically, do you need the upgrade? especially if you are happy with what you have now. I'm always going for the high end but get impatient, ordered a 3900X after launch and money went out but everything I ordered hadnt come by 3 1/2 weeks in...

    Need Advice on Radiators

    Im thinking 4x Noctua NF-A12s, they go up to 3000rpm but its not that I am after, their CFM and static pressure numbers are great, 109.8 and 7.63mm respectively so at mid range rpm 1000-1500 I should be getting good airflow over the rads, I'll be using thermal takes rgb rans for inside the front...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Makes sense, I've only had any real experience with Zen CPU's from August/September last year and even then only 3 of them so my view is skewed, as well since I have a bum chip lol. Can't imagine that's giving you false info. My 3700X will stay around 55C underwater in most of my games, unless...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Then thats practically a golden Chip then if you can get 4.4GHz on all cores without any overclocking whatsoever. Theres people having to lock in Voltages past or at 1.325v in order to get 4.4GHz all core. Un less whatever you have telling you the clock speed is reporting it wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If...

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    Well if you stress tested your CPU after overclocking to ensure its stable, like a good couple hours testing at least, then it should be good no matter the load. I clarified my post to mean 3700X's as their advertised boost clock is 4.4GHz vs the 3800X's 4.5GHz boost clock.

    AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

    There are not many 3700X chips that actually hit that 4.4GHz and if they do its for a brief spike with or without PBO. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I am particularly unfortunate that my CPU can only reach around 4.2GHz with PBO in games and tests. I have been able to manually...
