I really like the HAF series. I used a 932 (I think that was the number) for several years, until my aging back decided it didn't want to lift it off the ground anymore and turn it on its side for monthly dustings (dog hair, you see). I have since moved everything to the XB Evo, and it is so...
My son recently upgraded his 2700x to a 5700x on a b350 Tomahawk. He noticed a large uplift in gaming, since the 5700x allowed his 3070ti to stretch its legs a little more, plus the 5700x did not throw as much heat into his small room as did the 2700x.
I don't use pbo or anything, just run my 5950x at stock. But I cpu mine with it, so I keep the fans at 100% (noise doesn't bother me) and this cooler keeps my CPU in the mid-70s, while fully loaded at 4.3-4.4Ghz. I don't think I could ask for more, considering how little it cost.
I upgraded my kid's pc to a 5700x, but he has no interest in playing this game, and I don't have the time to do so. If someone else was thinking about purchasing this game, drop me a PM. My Heatware moniker is the same as my user name here, and I can take either Paypal or Venmo. Thank you for...
Have these lowered prices convinced anyone here to upgrade their 5950x setup to a 7950x build? If so, did you sell your old system to help offset the upgrade cost?
I got the Thermal right Peerless Assassin 120 SE for my 5950x. I have a case with decent airflow, and I CPU mine on Nicehash. I run the CPU at stock speed, no PBO or anything else on. I keep the two thermalright fans at 100% for best cooling. The CPU runs at 100% load while mining, with an...
I can't help you with gpu's, but I have the guts of a couple of systems I used for hobby mining until a couple of months ago. You would have to determine if they are useful enough or not, if you don't mind paying for shipping.
1. The first system is one I currently have in the freebies thread...
OP, if you are upgrading solely for gaming and still have a chance to return your 5900x, you may want to get the 5800x3D instead. Hardware Unboxed did a nice video pitting it against the Ryzen 3600 and Ryzen 5600x, both with a 6600xt and a 6950xt at a couple of different resolutions. You may...
I use this cooler on my 5950x, and while cpu mining on Nicehash and the cpu is at 100% load, my cpu tops out at 80c. I run the fans on full speed for better cooling.
