$450 shipped CONUS. No trades. Used, in good condition. Stock cooler not included.

Hey guys! Finally got the courage to attempt a proper overclock on my 3900x. I'm using an Asus Prime X570 Pro board. I wound up with: CCD0: CCX0: 4375 CCX1: 4400 CCD1: CCX0: 4375 CCX1: 4375 Vcore is at 1.3v, LLC level 4, temps well under control - 65c peak under Prime95 testing (large FFT...

Okay, so I'm aware that the 3090 is a beast of card on power draw, and I'm used to watercooled GPUs so it could certainly be that I'm just not accustomed to these numbers, but something doesn't seem right with my 3090. I'm running a Fractal Meshify C and the CPU is watercooled with an external...

Just found this today. Watercool has previously stated that they will make FE waterblocks, but apparently changed their minds. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/iyccuq/watercool_heatkiller_rtx_30_release_plan/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

I'm gunning for the BFGPU straight out of the gate this round. As a guy who's never bought at this tier before, I'm not sure what to expect. The 3080 launch was pretty disappointing. I'm hoping there are a few factors that will soften demand for the 3090 FE card, like the 12-pin, non-available...

I'm making a custom cabling application and using a 15-pin D-sub connector. The female panel mount that I bought didn't come with the standoff hardware - the little hex posts that you screw the sides of the connector into. What are those? 4-40? Some metric size?

I've seen in a couple leaks of the PCBs that the FE cards and even the reference design of the 3090 features VRAM on both sides of the card. I have seen active backplates before from Aquacomputer. Do you think this is likely to be offered by other manufacturers? The EK design seems to think a...

Been burned by pre-blocked cards before (Gigabyte's can't be disassembled easily for cleaning), but since Nvidia isn't using the "reference design" for its FE cards this go-around, and I don't know who actually is using the "reference design," pre-blocked is starting to look like the best way to...

Very curious to see that EKWB's reference design waterblocks won't fit FE cards. I kinda wonder if this is because of the double sided RAM. Makes me think FE blocks will be rare or not exist. Does anyone have any insight into which AIB partners will be using the reference PCB?

My external rad has 9 fans with power distributed via a Splitty9, and a single D5 pump. The power and control all come from my Aquaero, with one header for the fans and one for the pump, all four wires of each going through an 8-pin PCI passthrough bracket I made. I'm adding a second pump...

I had a kit of V-Color RAM that would occasionally fail to post under DOCP. I figured it was just cheap RAM. So, I got a kit of the 3600MHZ G.Skill stuff made specifically for X570. But... it still occasionally fails to post under DOCP. Did a couple seconds worth of searching and the comment...

I'm in the planning phase of a scratch build using 2020 T-slot aluminum extrusion. My goal is an ATX open-frame case with room for full-sized GPU and PSU, but designed to be used with an external radiator, such that it is absolutely no larger than it needs to be. I'm still working on ideas for...

Hey WATERCOOL-Jakob ! Can you share anything with us about the expected availability on Ampere waterblocks? :D

Since I built my new loop, my temp sensors seem to be reading a couple degrees C hotter than I believe. I put a little desktop thermometer in front of my case, directly across the intake grill from the fans, and it's reading 26.7°c, while the two sensors I have mounted directly behind the intake...

I've never bought a card on launch day before, but am willing to take the plunge this time. I know I want an FE due to waterblock compatibility and silicon binning, and I'm ready to retire my 1080ti, which has been working overtime to keep up with 3440x1440 @ 144hz. I'm all set to F5 camp on...

EDIT: Off market. Thought better of it, want to hold a backup in case I get visited by space invaders on the 3080ti/3090. Includes original box. Asking $475 shipped CONUS. If you only want the waterblock along with it, asking $575 shipped CONUS. Card is in great shape and runs very well...

New owner of a Dell G7 7700. The laptop's got guts and I really like that it's packing a 2070, but it's a hot mess in need of an undervolt - and apparently that's no longer allowed. I fired up Intel XTU and the undervolt settings are greyed out. Did some digging and found that Dell (and many...

Board as mentioned, R9 3900X, 1080ti (also ASUS,) V-Color RAM, Corsair MP600 Gen4 M.2 SSD. If I'm outputting video to my monitor via DisplayPort cable, I am unable to get into the BIOS by any method. Slowing down the boot, interrupting the boot, hard BIOS reset via battery removal, etc - it...

When I upgraded from my 7700K to my 3900X, I found out my old Corsair Dominator Platinum kit did not want to XMP with the new board. My brother gifted me some "V-Color" brand RAM, and while the XMP seems to apply, I'm not sure if it's a "good" kit of RAM. I don't know much about timings. The kit...

I don't mind the idea of the next gen being more power hungry. If it's more advanced silicon AND more OF it, I'm all for it. That's what my custom loop is for. Still, I find the idea of introducing a new PCI power connector to be a little hard to swallow. I'm likely going to be in the market...

Looking to replace the core of my VR machine. The 1700X is not performing as well as I'd hoped in the titles I like. Specifically need CPU and mobo. If you're including RAM I'll buy if I like it, but it's not required. K is optional. Prefer mobo with WiFi but will go without for the right...

Since I moved my D5 into my new Heatkiller Tube, it's been making this annoying tic-tic-tic sound. I originally thought the top of the impeller was chattering against the pump volute, so I sanded a few thousandths of the plastic off the impeller and didn't tighten the screws down as tight next...

Hey all! Been a while since I undertook a project like this but oh man was it fun. I recently moved to another state and discovered that the Core P5 case was so huge, heavy, and unwieldy that I had to custom crate the damn thing to move it safely. While I loved how that case looked and how...

I'm just checking in to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this. I have a Thermaltake Core P5 with a vertical GPU mount, seen below: I recently replaced a few of the hard tubed lines with ZMT, as I needed the 14mm fittings for the build's next iteration. One of the runs...

I just got a new entertainment center with glass doors to help deter my chilluns from unwanted button-pressing. Unfortunately, it also deters my PS4 from cooling. I was originally going to just put fans in the back of the cabinet on opposite sides of the section holding the console, but then I...

Hey guys! I'm settling into my new office and am going to be spending a lot more time on a keyboard than in my previous position. I'd like a mechanical keyboard, but I don't want to pay for all the RGB/macrokeys/gamer glitz that typically comes along with them. Where should I turn for a simple...

I know Case Modding is an odd spot for this, but for lack of a more general electrical/wiring forum, I thought this the best place... I'm looking for a PCI slot cover that's got integrated cable passthroughs. What I'm imagining looks like this: ...but this particular Phobya model looks like...

Hey guys! I'm thinking I'm going to start a new project. I want to retire my Thermaltake Core P5 and transplant my PC into a standard ATX mid-tower and use a MO-RA3. The current plan for chassis is a Fractal Design Meshify C, and I've got the new loop laid out in my head. I'm hoping some folks...

I know this is kindof blasphemy because it's not actually "SFF," but I figured of anyone would have knowledge of such a niche case, this crowd would! I want to compact my existing build into the smallest possible case that I can, and handle my watercooling loop externally with a MO-RA3. I...

I picked up an EVGA graphics card as listed in the title (single fan version) for a good price used and discovered that EVGA's cooler sucks. Plus, mine had a nasty fan tick. Ordered an Arctic Accelero Mono Plus and threw it on there last night. Great improvement in thermals, but only so-so...

So it looks like I'm going to be relocating for work, meaning a few months max of living in temporary housing. My rig will need to go into storage (I'm thinking of using Pods due to the way the relocation is going to work out) for a little while. It's pictured below, for anyone who hasn't seen...

I know this is likely to be ancient news to most, but I don't have any friends who VR and wanted to share. For whatever reason, I held off a long time on buying Beat Saber. I think I was harboring some kind of grudge against it for being such a simple, "casual" game. A couple days ago, I finally...

Hey guys. I was on the road pretty much all of 2019 for work and had little to no to time to play with my Rift CV1. In the flurry of software updates (and one hardware update) that I managed to do in my time home, something about my 3-sensor setup broke. Once every three to seven seconds, my...

Hey all! I'm looking into my first ultrawide, and kindof in the camp that I don't want to compromise. The Predator X34 seems to tick all the boxes: 3440x1440 120hz IPS panel with a slight curve G-sync I know that the X34 has been out for a few years now, and a quick search shows there are some...

Edit: off the market for now. May relist in a few months. Small footprint. Slightly dated parts but still a good performer for 1080p gaming and general productivity. Specs in Speccy shot. Unshown there: Raijintek Metis Plus case Corsair SF600 PSU Corsair ML pro fans AMD Wraith Spire CPU...

I'm pretty happy with my system, but it's been too long since I messed with it and I'm wondering if I'm leaving any performance on the table. My system is such: D5 pump -> Flow meter -> GPU block -> CPU block -> 480mm rad -> 420mm rad -> Reservoir -> (D5 pump) Before anyone says anything...

Hey! Do you guys know of any good places to get replacement parts for EVGA cards? I picked up a 1060 6GB locally for a heck of a deal, but the fan is on its way out. It spins up but there's a pretty awful click/rattle coming from the hub,

I originally had this on my rig, but changed configuration for a non-D5 version of this res and a separate pump. I used the bracket from this res on my new setup, so it is not included. The holding rings are on here though, and it would be a simple rectangular four-hole pattern to mount this...

Looking for an inexpensive but moderately powerful ITX mobo and CPU combo. Don't mind if it's a couple generations old, but I don't want to go back to DDR3 for it. Looking for something that will drive a 1060 6gb at 1080p without bottlenecking too much. I don't want to spend more than $200...

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of Blade and Sorcery lately. One thing I'm really missing is the use of two-handed weapons like the claymore. I know it's a skill deficit thing mainly; I can just not get my arms to act like they're both holding onto a single thing when they actually aren't...
