Right yeah thats the plan, just worried about killing a fan header or worse the board trying to pull too much power through one header. Even though it should be totally fine

Hello guys,
My CPU is Ryzen 1600 with fan cooling Deepcool Gammaxx 400. Thermal paste used is Noctua NT-H1.
Idle load is at 35 celcius degrees. On full load is 53-54 celcius degrees (Handbrake encode 1080p video full load all cores engaged at 100%).
Is this normal? Or I can improve?
Thanks.

Is there a reason why the Corsair 100 R isn't supposed to be paired with liquid coolers with two fans? Can't I use the two 120 mm ones at the top for that?
Maybe consider the BenQ GW2765HT? It's $30 more expensive but has lower response time, higher resolution, and built in speakers. Seems to have good reviews and reception as well.
The only reason I can think of is that right now there aren't many sales so there's no reason to rush buying anything. And I guess it could make sense not to buy at least the case because maybe something you'll like better will come in the future. Don't think PSUs and fans move that fast so you should be okay with those. Check out Newegg, they're having a sale on some stuff.
As for Volta, as discussed before it should come between the beginning of fall and the end of winter.
That looks like it would be useful but like RandomExpletive said, is there any chance things can go wrong with this?

I would say that cooler's alittle worse than a hyper 212 so those results seem ok. If you want your temps to decrease you can try increasing the rpm of the fan in your bios or if your Mobo has some fan software, but that will increase noise.

Haha yeah this is a budget fan cooling recommended by a friend.
By default the fan is running at Smart Mode, 800rpm (max 14xx rpm).
But no matter I set at Smart Mode (often 800rpm) or 100% (1400rpm) the temperature are still literally same. On 100% fan power the temps are sticks to 53 degs. The Smart Mode sometimes 54 sometimes 53.
The fan has sticker so I could notice if the fan properly running at ~1400 rpm). The fan is still quiet but I can feel the airflow on 1400rpm.
But if you saying the results seems ok and normal, I would not doing anything again and will leave them as it is.
Thanks man.

So the new PC is built with the 7700K at its heart and I am a bit at a loss about its temperatures.
Without any overclock temps are already hitting 80C when encoding something with Handbrake. Prime95 (v28) Small FFTs send it straight up to 95C.
The cooler is the Cryorig H7 with the default fan. I have two Noctua NF-F12 as front intakes and a Corsair AF120 as my rear exhaust (4cm away from the Cryorig-cooler).
I am quite sure I applied the Cryorig correctly, the thermal paste is MX4, so all boxes should be checked here.
Is this still in the margin of "lost really bad at the silicon-lottery" or is something wrong here?

Miiiiight be a bad sample. My 1080TI strix doesn't exceed 70 no matter what I do (benchmarking, 4K gaming, etc), and my fan speeds are capped at 45% (which I can't even hear in my case).
If you can't return it, the first thing I would do is replace the thermal paste on the card.

Oh hey Noomj
But my follow up question would then be should I grab the 1080ti or 2080 and what would roughly be the price/performance gap between the two.

Hard to find any deals right now on a 1080 Ti. No free games, no discounts, nothing. Hardly any used or refurbished listings anywhere either.
Anyone have any tips for seeking out a 1080 Ti these days, in the US?

Ah US, sorry.
Dude, i live in a hot city in Brazil, and i had a 1060 mini untill last week and I can say: you'll have no cooling problem at all, the temps never got higher than 70ºC, even during the summer.
The 1060 mini is an amazing piece of hardware.

Usually top of the line non-Titan cards have a 25%-35% increase in performance over the previous one, depending on the game and which manufacturer version it is. However Volta I'd supposed to be a bigger jump from before so it could be higher.
Pricing I'm not sure of. The 2080 could cost anywhere between $600 to $800, depending on how Nvidia's feeling. Right now the 1080 ti to costs 40% more than the 1080 but gives you around 30% extra performance. Of course, that was after they dropped the price of the 1080. If we go by original price it was a 16% increase in price.

If you game at high or ultra, yes, you can. I was just playing Shadow of Mordor the other day, and had to turn down to high settings because Ultra textures eat up more VRAM than my GTX 970 has.
My new rig, still waiting for EVGA 1080ti SC2 to be delivered.
My only issue so far is with kraken x62 temps, when i run prime 95 they hit 100c in a 2 minutes, I replaced thermal paste and it still hits 80c on stock 7700k.
Do not purchase win 10 keys from play-asia, two that they sent me where both used, still waiting on refund. Any reliable place where can i buy win 10 key?

Remember that the 7700K runs hot and that Prime95 is designed to heat up your CPU as much as possible. Your day-to-day temps, even under load, will never be that high.
I'm in the high 70s on a 6700K (which doesn't run nearly as hot) and a Noctua NH-D15, so if I were you I wouldn't worry too much.
I can return it and I'm considering doing so, it's just a hassle. I had an aggressive fan curve for my 980ti that I disabled and the card runs pretty quiet now as the fans never spin past 60% but it's still hitting temps above 70.

DDR4 2x8 GB 3000 MHz for ~$100 to $110 at Jet.com, by the way.
INSTRUCTIONS
Go to the link.
You can save $2.16 by checking the "no free returns" box.
Enter promo code SAVE15 to save $17.68 off the price.
Subtotal is $100.13 + $10.26 tax for me = ~$110 with free shipping. If you don't have tax for Jet.com (some states don't) it's only $100.
If you buy through the Ibotta app you can get a 10% rebate for another ~$10 off.
Enjoy.

Yo GAF, I was talking about getting the Corsair One on the previous page. I said that I was targeting 1080p 60fps, but after a lot of research I'm going to go with a 1440p 144hz monitor. I'd also like to be relatively future proof for the next few years.
I'm guessing the GTX 1080 is my best bet here?

Honestly, the Evolv is kinda lousy when it isn't air cooled. Both the intake and exhaust are so restrictive, and people end up popping the top lid a bit or removing it, and the front, they add some sort of spacers to leave an even bigger gap to allow more intake.
RumblingRosco

A 1070 can handle 1440p 144Hz modestly, but you're right a 1080 is where you'll want to be, especially with a bit of future-proofing. If you can afford it, I'd recommend going for the 1080 Ti if you're really interested in future-proofing for as long as possible. However, the 1080 will definitely kick ass at 1440p for you.
Not to mention that the 7700k has garbage TIM below the heatspreader. You can't really fix that without a delid.

So I bought a new EVGA 1080 Ti SC Black Edition for ~$670, including taxes and shipping. That's not too bad IMO, considering taxes around here normally add over 10% to the cost of my PC parts.
It's gonna feel really good with my Ryzen 1700.

hey PC gaf, I was wondering if there are any mobos out there that don't get their heatsink design covered by gpu. I know maximus IX's rog design does not get blocked by the gpu.
Are there any others?

Hey all,
I am considering buying a 1080TI really soon. Thing is, my setup is getting old. I have a 4.7ghz 3770K with 16GB of 2133mhz DDR3.
I know that this CPU will bottleneck the 1080TI, especially at 1080p. But I'm planning to play everything at 4k/60. What about it? Since the GPU will have an harder time rendering the graphics at 4K instead of 1080p, will my cpu perform similarly to a 6700k / 7700k in that case?

So what's a good, free, benchmark? I feel I should try one.
Guess my biggest question is why you're not going with the NZXT Kraken X62. Seems to be pretty popular here and money doesn't seem to be an issue to you.
Some modern games will still strain it, even if you're only planning to play at 60 FPS. Biggest offenders are open world games.

Okay, I have some logistical questions as I prep my build.
I'm planning on using this new PC as primarily a machine to play games on and will have it attached to my 4k TV in the living room, so naturally keyboard/mouse solutions are going to be needed. I've gone back and forth between wanting to do this "right" and go all in with a mechanical keyboard in hopes of maybe alleviating some hand pain I get while at keyboards for a good amount of time, or aiming for convenience with a wireless set up.
Right now I'm leaning towards doing this right and getting a good keyboard, after all, I'll have a lot of Amazon rewards when all is said and done. My concern now is cable length. Would it be feasible to route a longer USB extension cable around the back of my entertainment center and between the wall/carpet, without losing any sort of signal for the keyboard? My major concern is that my dog is 50 pounds of muscle and knee-capping skull who can go wild and do laps every now and then, thus cables out in the open aren't great.
Another potential issue I'm finding is that I'm looking at something like the Corsair K70 which has two USB plugs it needs. Is there any elegant solution to my problem or would I hypothetically need to run two USB cable extensions. The included USB passthrough on that model would also mean I could plug a mouse directly into it, correct? EDIT: Upon further reading, maybe USB 3.0 only needs one plug?
Finally, are there any solutions to a flat surface for my lap out there? I keep seeing things like the Roccat board, Corrsair lapdog, or the wireless Razer with a really thin flimsy looking pad, but nothing seems ideal. I'm almost tempted just to find an Ikea shelf and attach a large mouse pad to it as a simple DIY solution.

Wow. Where are you at, that seems a good deal.
Depends on what exactly you're looking to benchmark. UserBenchmark is alright if you're looking to see how your PC compares to other users with X component.
Well, like the iChill, getting one in or shipped to Canada is an issue since few retailers supply it so I looked for a cooler that was easier to get a hold of.

Regarding CPU: if you can wait, wait - may be some interesting options.
Regarding having a quiet system: get a 1080Ti with hybrid cooling. Skip the SLI.
That seems pretty good, check out my post about the Dell one too above.
Think I may have to pop over to Costco to see what they have.
Thing with Dell is they have 12 months interest free to pay it off.
Can you guys help me troubleshoot? I'm having an audio issue.
Decided I was gonna sit down and learn to code today. Figured listening to music would be good. Unplug speakers, plug in headphones (headphone jack doesn't work so I use the same plug for both.)
The volume is all over the place in my headphones, but nothing is changing in my mixer or on any programs. I've followed all the advice I can find online with Sound. Communications is set to Do nothing, all enhancement stuff in speaker properties are turned off. I'm at a loss and it's making me irrationally angry.
Edit: Tried reinstalling Realtek drivers. Nope. Audio still sucks.

Tried to go to my local Best Buy and get a gpu. They were all out of stock on the floor but he assured me they had some in the back. 2 minutes later he decides it'd be better to get one shipped to my house I watched this man attempt to order gpus and have them sell out in real time for several minutes before I left...
Got a good deal on some 16gb ram though.

It seems a good price, is this available to all Costco ?
Considering what 1060s are going for now I'd say yes
