    Guidance on building a watercooling loop

    Hi all, I'm currently working on upgrading my PC to a 5600x and a 3070, and I was wondering if anyone has any good pointers as for where to look for guidance on building a loop and buying quality parts? I'd like to do soft tubing and water cool both my 3070 and 5600x for looks and...

    Updating BIOS on B550 Motherboard in order to accommodate 5800x

    I was looking at the Gigabyte B550 AORUS elite AX v2. The reviews on PCPartPicker said they had no issues, and I think it supports bios flashback.

    Updating BIOS on B550 Motherboard in order to accommodate 5800x

    Alright, thank you for the reply :) I was just worried because I had seen posts in even the past few months that said boards still needed to be flashed. Thank you again :)

    Updating BIOS on B550 Motherboard in order to accommodate 5800x

    Hey guys, I am working on building my dad a PC at the moment, and I want to get him a 5800X for his build so he can run whatever he wants at essentially max FPS. The only problem I've run into is that B550 and X570 motherboards (according to PCPartPicker and the rest of the internet) need to...

    I just bought a 1070 and a z70a from a guy on the forum as well :) the [H]ookup is real. Stuff was pretty cheap and I'll update y'all on whether it is DOA or not LOL. Thanks for all the advice to everyone who replied on this post :)

    Buying an ASUS z270a board from a crypto-miner?

    It's really undercutting retail price, like $100 is the price we agreed on, and I'm just honestly worried that it's "too good" of a deal, ya know? And I agree with the used hardware thing, I've bought the hell out of some used stuff for my build lol.

    Buying an ASUS z270a board from a crypto-miner?

    Hey y'all, This past May I built my first computer, and I'm running on a mobo that cannot OC ram or CPU, and I'd like to OC my 7600K. I got a really good deal on a z270A from a miner, and he has a warranty that prevents DOA, and has sent me pictures of it working, etc. It was in sub-45C...

    How much maintenance does a normal (1 gpu oced, 1 cpu oced, 4 sticks of ram) watercooling build take?

    Wouldn't it just be cheaper to water cool at this point?

    Thanks for the actual numbers. I'm probably gonna grab a 1070 and a new mobo to oc my cpu, then get a job this summer and grab a 1080ti when stuff settles out.

    What do you think a good markdown is for a card that's been mined on? And I did a bunch of research after posting this, it seems your point is well based in evidence lol, fuck the haters

    The 3 likes along with this comment make it seem like it's a good idea. I'll look into buying a card from one of the people on here. I figured that this would probably be the place I bought from anyways, with all the expertise and info from all you guys!

    I love this website. Some things you just can't find reading guides or articles, you need informed people who are happy to help others who are new. I'm gonna look into watercooling once I get myself all set up :) thanks for everything man, and I hope your day is going well!
