    New Arctic P12 Max fan. 3 for price of 1 Noctua. No downsides?

    So I installed one of these (slim edition 15mm) and while I appreciate the acoustic performance and the air flow is decent the radiator screws it came with do not thread into my Alphacool radiator and because they are slim fans they require a certain exact length of rad screw. I made it work...

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    Yeah the in game reflex mode works good. It's the Nvidia control panels low latency ultra mode that is buggy for me.

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    Yea it naturally stays a few fps beneath the 144 cap with V-sync and G-sync on. Although low latency mode from the Nvidia control panel caused a bunch of studdering issues where the in game low latency mode is perfect.

    Buying a 4090 card

    True. If you're on 4k you can just crank up the settings to max fidelity and even the playing field.

    Bleeding air bubbles

    You mean flow rate? I don't have any meters or sensors but the flow is good. I see a vortex created in the red when I go full speed on the d5. It does go through 3 rads and 2 blocks so maybe? I feel like the bubble gets caught in the upright rad against the front of the case? Only the bottom...

    Please post your 13900K idle temps for comparison

    Hey y'all I wanna know what you're idle temps are on your 13900K please. The voltage, how many watt, and cooler would be good bonus info but the main thing is what is your stock idle temps at the desktop?

    Battlefield 2042

    U sure they are not ai bots filling in the 128 players slots? Also the aircrafts are terrible. Very unbalanced. They feel like rc controlled toys when you fly them and the amount of lock ons in the game countering you is crazy meanwhile you can't break line of sight to counter them once they...

    New direct die cooler

    Didn't derbauer do this kit also? Or was it kit guru? yea it can net you an additional 10-20 degrees over traditional waterblock. The voltage needed to get your moneys worth out of this block is too high for me but if you wanna cross 1.4v+ this is just the block for you. Oh yeah Jay did this...

    Bleeding air bubbles

    There is no way I could have just waited. The water had absolutely no flow at all. I'm pretty sure that was stressing the pump out? It was anxiety inducing lol. I went to the length of flipping it upside-down. Case gymnastics is very appropriate of a description. I've never needed to flip it...

    Coil Whine on Nvidia 4090 and 4080 cards

    The brand new atx3.0 platinum rated 1300w meg pcie 5 power supply didn't make any difference at all, there is still a faint sound of coil whine during time spy extreme when you take the side panel off and the fans are on low you can hear it if you stick your head inside the rig, otherwise with...

    Bleeding air bubbles

    My last redo was very bad. I waterblocked my 4090 and installed a 13900ks so I had to redo some tubing and reinstall stuff. So when I came time to refill the loop the water would not budge. There was no movement at all of the water. After flopping the rig over on it's side then the other side...

    Let me blow your minds - 3D for $0 on every display

    I miss 3D. I used to game in 3D for years. Then TV manufacturers discontinued making them altogether. It was so cool.

    13900KS Voltage/Clock speed/Power Consumption/Temperature thread.

    Ya Pcores manually set to 6ghz and e cores stock 4.3. True the best rig in the world wouldn't make me any better a gamer I try tho lol. Yea the voltage is too high for me at 6ghz. I can easily pull it off but I just don't want to pump that much voltage into the CPU especially since I don't need...

    That's interesting. Try just using one monitor to see if it's gone at idle?

    13900KS Voltage/Clock speed/Power Consumption/Temperature thread.

    The full load testing I do with prime 95 or Cinebench. Gaming doesn't use as much power because most games aren't as CPU bound as they are Gpu bound. Some games do use a lot of CPU power but none of the ones I play.

    current best air coolers

    Ya i agree with the above posts I would just run it with 1 fan in the middle and then supplement it with another case fan or better optimized air flow around it somehow. There's always a way lol.

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    I try to keep it at 144 on all games. I even mod the files on all my Batman Arkham games to 144 from the native 60 because It's so much nicer with the higher refresh. Interestingly enough, the Batman games push my 4090 quite a lot at almost 80% usage. For such an old game I am surprised lol. Can...

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    Well I've had a few cards die on me before. I can't say what the exact cause of it was but perhaps it was from heat? Yea I keep the normal vsync/gsync on 4k at 144hz at all time. I don't let it go above that, never uncapped. The thing about the 75% power limit is more like a hard cap for the...

    samsung 990 pro

    Ya but how often are you writing? I install a game and I'm done. Besides it slows down but is still writing at 2000mbps. I doubt any real world users were ever even encounter this in normal usage. The sn850x does suffer from the same issue just less and takes longer for it to get to the point of...

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    A lot of people don't want the extra heat. For me it's a big factor. Also keeping the card cooler with less voltage is generally better for it's lifespan if you plan on keeping it for years milking it. You don't have to you can run it 100% or over if you want but if you are already at the fps...

    4090 almost no performance loss at 75% power limit sweet spot

    It's because on particular games that I don't need all the power I can reduce the voltage to not put any additional voltage/heat/power into the card for no reason. Even though mine is watercooled I still don't need to heat up my room or abuse the card when I am already hitting my target 144hz...

    Gotham Knights

    Everyone says that but the thing is I hate claustrophobic levels and my favorite part of the Arkham games is the open world (Gotham) and flying around (in Gotham). I'm so afraid Asylum will tarnish the series for me because I truly love the Arkham Trilogy (City, Origins, Knight) and my favorite...

    Gotham Knights

    How does this compare to Assassin's Creed Odyssey or the newer one? Because as much as I like this the negative reviews are pushing me away from it. I also have the Witcher 3 which I haven't played. Also Spider-Man should be better than this too right? Unless I'm convinced I might have to skip...
