  • The ever aging battle of living in a digital world with global reach whilst being forced to live and comply within the lines drawn in sand.

  • So for the past 9 years I've been using the 8pin (from PSU) to 8pin + 6pin (to graphics card) this was wrong?

  • I have 2 cables that came with it (both have an 8pin and a 6pin on the GPU end so I'm just going to use both cables and just use the 8pin connector on each.

    It's been a while since I last build a PC. I should know this shit, I used to be a system builder... But that was also many years ago.

    Thanks!

  • What graphics card are you going for? I'm in the process of specing out my next PC but the graphics card is causing me a headache

  • Just get an IPS with as high of a refresh rate as you can.

    I went from a 24" 1080p display to a 32" 1440p ultrawide and quickly discovered that my aging PC can't do 1440p on anything other than low in most games. Something to keep in mind.

  • I have a flat panel ultrawide, for me, curved was a pain in the ass when your dealing with straight lines, you need to be in the hot spot where the viewing angle is perfect. Excel can be a headache with a curved monitor, as can photo and video editing as things can look warped and shit when your not sat in the ideal position.

  • The speed increase over Regular SSD and NVME is justified, but not requited just yet, I will use the SSDs I have until I fancy grabbing a 2tb NVME at a later date.

    I do plan on using the 1tb 2.5" ssd in my server as cache drive.

  • I've had Gigabyte motherboards since my first build in 2006, I will always use Gigabyte, only had one fail on me (it was a Z79 ) it was 6 years old when it was repurposed from my gaming PC and then went into 24/7 use as a home server, then it died after 2 years, 8 years of heavy use is alright in my book. My new server has a gigabyte board too and that's been on 24/7 for about 6 months now, no issues to date.

  • Just checked out the Gamers Nexus video on the Thermalright Peerless Assassin, half the price and potentially better performance. This is very interesting. Thank you.

  • corrected, I did Kean B650.

    I'll check out the 6700/6750, thanks.

  • I love PC part picker, I have my past builds all saved on there with photos.

  • Hot to touch, and now its warn to touch.

  • Its the stock CPU cooler that comes with the newer Intel's (this is a 12th gen i3)

  • I tried just the fan on it's own, but gravity always left it sat at the bottem of my case.

  • Always, if it's not, you need more zip ties.

  • This isn't a high rpm fan, it's enough to keep the LSI card cool.
