I can’t believe I missed that there. I even went there first to see that they were 2280. Looks like my old name sorta stands the test of time 😂. Maybe I was on the Canadian page

Hello, Im looking to put a new SSD into my laptop. I have an Auros 5 KE. The processor is an i7-12700H which according to intel spec sheet has a Microprocessor PCIe 4.0, chipset/PHC PCIe Version 3.0. Device manager says my current 1TB is an Aorus AG470S1TB-SI B10. This is a pretty fast Gen4...

I have seen several nitros on sale, though their price point doesn’t seem quiet right for SSD and CPU generation.

I’m not concerned too much with thin and light. I’d rather have some better battery life or cooling, over thin and light. I work out of my truck or a trailer at work. My MBP is/was a tank anyway.

Yes, I had a quick look around, and also a few other vendors online.

They are about 5hrs away. Though they ship. That seems to tick all the boxes. Thanks. Didn’t see any of the GB anywhere else I looked.

Hello, I’ve been out of the hardware game for a long time. I also switched over to Mac for my laptop needs. However I had my MBP overheat, and it’s acting up. So it’s going in, and being that it’s all soldiered, it may have reached its end of life. So I’m looking for a gaming laptop. Obviously...

My wife would never go for the removal of the cabinet. I think I’ll try a 4” online infinity with temp control. I’m going to look at plumbing it into my mech room. It’s directly below and about 6’ over laterally.

Issue with mine vs that, is mine is a built in cupboard. I don’t have a space behind it. I can’t just put two fans in the rear. As that would just go into a wall cavity. And thus have no flow. I think I’ll be going with a 4” split across the shelf. Though not sure how that would work. Perhaps T...

I could also put in a 4” inline fan, and muffle it.

There is some gains, though with every product now doing their own form of OC, it’s not as rewarding. Though looking at higher end CPUs, they already push the bounds. This isn’t 10y ago. If you have extra cooling you can squeeze a bit. Though unless encoding, your not gaining a ton on games.

Hello, Looking for some suggestions on cooling my cabinet. Long story short, the kids have closed the doors while playing and cooked two PS4s while I’m not home (white one just got back from Sony a few months ago as it got so hot LEDs fell off the board, black one was bought used in may, and is...

Well, think I’ve decided on a PC build. Though different from suggested. I am going to go intel cpu, and and GPU, for reasons I can’t talk about here. Thinking: i5-9600K Asus Tuff Z390 - Plus Gaming Wifi G.Skill Trident Z 2x16 DDR4 3200 Radeon 5700XT Re-use Silverstone Raven 2 Evo NH-D14...

Yes my 2500K runs at 4.4 daily, and 4.7 if I want. Anything above that, and my fans kick to high and it gets noisy. Wonder about a power colour reference Vega56. If flashable great (currently 6950->6970), and its listed as a compatible card should i decide to go egpu later. 56 should be...

Yeah, looking to keep it budget friendly. Which is why I’m looking at the egpu option as well. I’m in Canada, so the egpu is about $550, and graphics cards are 3-400 depending. I was planning if I went egpu to stay with compatible OS X cards, so it would work with OSX as well. So that’s gonna...
