Ah, I should also state that my current PC has been running (not 24/7) but for over two years with no maintenance and I literally just topped it off recently as the fluid had dropped maybe 3 mm in that time. I also use cheap plastic tubing that I purchase at Lowes. My tubing needs replacing at...

In all my builds, I have only used antifreeze in slightly more diluted forms than the 50/50 you used. I once had my PC unused for nearly 2 years in a closet (no direct sunlight and a PC case with no windows) with no maintenance what so ever and was able to plug it in and fire it up without any...

Nice to see someone else talking about x299 still. I have been rocking my setup for over 6 years now. Last upgraded my cpu couple years ago to 10900x, gpu to 3080ti. I’m not cutting edge but definitely not bottom of the barrel.

When you put it into the white slot and the computer went black, was the computer on when you inserted?

Funny mentioning the heat exchanger. Was going thru an old box other day and came across my old one from over a decade ago. Still had the barbs on it… lol

Actually, the offset I would say is for those with OCD and want everything lining up in the same plane. You can actually just use any port you want it will just not be straight/aligned so to speak.

No have total of four rads. The lower compartment in my case houses a 360 rad sideways so PSU won't fit. Can see in the zoomed out pic, the 360 rad in bottom with dust on filter, 360 rad on top pulling up and out, and on the front are the two 220 radiators blowing into case. The case doesn't...

I understand that for several reasons it isn't ideal. Especially in my scenario as I have all my rads blowing the hot air in the case so it causes the PSU to run hot. Not just that but I also watercool so not good to have facing up, but I have been quite fortunate for years. I know that the...

I had read a ton of reviews regarding them and saw nothing that stood out hence why I bought it. Might have just been my luck on getting a bad one but I have to have my daily PC fix so too stubborn to wait for an RMA. Have a wife, 3 kids, and 5 dogs so gaming and beer is my get away!! And...

Ah, thanks for such quick feedback!! As for Bestbuy comment, I should say our store doesn't carry alot of the more highend products (only 4 PSU's here locally in store) so I meant it more in that I should have just ordered the one i wanted at the time rather than settle. Definitely nothing...

I recently had a strange issue with my PC while gaming the other night. While in middle of Starfield I heard this explosion along with seeing just a bright white flash come from bottom of mobo in case, above my PSU. My pc instantly shutdown and began to reboot but I was able to hit the shutoff...

Wow. This reminds me when I drilled a fill port into the top of my case ages ago. I already have ideas floating around...

Yeah, forgot to even mention that. I had a difference of around 28C on my hottest/coolest cores. Once I adjusted the pressure correctly I am now seeing around 8C difference across my cores in benches and 5C in games. Noticed this improvement right away!!

I have been following this simply because I have a 10900x on an x299 Asus Prime board and I was curious as to what your results would be. Looking at that last post I feel I was in the exact same temp scenario once I got into 1.2 and beyond on volts. I run my cpu at 4.6 on all cores with 1.266...

I don’t think you will be disappointed in the least. I have an aging x299 system that for the first 4 years of use was only using a 7740x, 16gb of ram, and a gtx1080. Just last November I got a 10900x, 32gb of bdie g.skill ddr4 4000, and a 3080ti. All I can say is that it is smooth as butter...
