    Any case suggestions for someone trying to switch from water to air?

    Appreciate the responses. Over the weekend I pulled the trigger on a Fractal Meshify 3 XL Ambiance and paired it with a Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360. The case was more than I wanted to spend but I have no regrets. I am not crazy about how all of the 5.25 drive bays are gone, and it can only...

    Any case suggestions for someone trying to switch from water to air?

    Hi all, been under water for >10 years with my trusty Corsair 900D and having recently visited a Microcenter nearby, I'm stunned at how quiet and slick the new cases are even with a full air setup (possibly AIO water for CPU). I picked up a 5090 recently and it's so quiet that my water loop...

    FS: New In Box RTX 5090 Founder Edition

    Sorry folks, this was sold a little while ago. I updated the post right at the top but I guess it wasn't obvious enough. Thanks anyway

    RTX 5090 Benchmarks

    Pardon my ignorance, but is there a writeup out there you can link on how to achieve this? I've always done as FRZ is doing and just bumped the slider a little. I don't typically OC for daily use but I like to know what the card is capable of when I buy it with benchmarks.

    The dream. Nice! I watched my local center for 6 months and never saw it go in stock once. Now even the Zotac and Gigabyte $2k cards are never in. I'm 30 minutes away so visiting in person was just never in the cards.

    Another "is it worth upgrading to 5090?"

    I actually ended up going in another direction from the 5090FE. I picked up a PNY ARGB OC model from Best Buy. It was a few hundred more but I'm very happy with the card. Nice and quiet and should take a GPU block well if that's the route I ultimately decide on. Very nice factory OC clocks...

    FS: New In Box RTX 5090 Founder Edition

    Edit: Sold. Thank you. Had an opportunity to pick one of these up for MSRP lately and decided to go with a PNY OC partner board instead (mainly due to water cooling, which I understand is more difficult with this unit). I am still within return window on this one, but I figured I'd offer it to...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    Hi, can you explain what's wrong with the base windforce? I'm weighing one of those at $2k against the FE for the same price but it seems easier to water cool the gigabyte. I tend to like Gigabyte so I'm curious if there's something wrong with the base windforce (non oc). Thanks! Also...

    Thanks. I wasn't tracking that. I'll check it out.

    I did something similar going from 42" C4 to this. Overall, I'm happy with the curve, the colors seem to have a bit more punch than the C4 (I've had 4 c series models since the first '6' - the current 4 is actually like 14 - and they've always been lacking in saturation when compared to ips...

    Another "is it worth upgrading to 5090?"

    I haven't bought one yet. I'll probably go with the Alphacool eventually, but to be honest I'm pretty stunned at how silent this card is with the stock cooler. I can barely hear it above my 9x120mm fans running around 1k rpm and it never goes above 70c even with 100% power/load. I'm giving...

    Another "is it worth upgrading to 5090?"

    Really appreciate the responses. I've already done the upgrade and, driver issues with a flickering desktop aside, I'm loving the 5090. Sold my 4090 already here on the forum, too.

    FS: RTX 4090 Founders Edition w/Corsair WC block

    Update: SOLD Selling my water cooled 4090 FE as I picked up a 5090 - truthfully I'm having some minor issues with the 5090 and didn't with the 4090, so this is somewhat bittersweet. Been under water since day 1 and always kept cool. I do not OC and it's never given me a single issue. All...

    Roger. Tracking the flashing/flickering is driver/5090 specific, but I believe they were referring to a potential fix for the dark blocking effect in the shadowed regions that I was showing in the link. That is also something I did not experience with the 4090.
