I'll have to bring the bad news... you'll have to add a $10 for thermal compound :lol: That aside, as I noticed the TIM was missing from your budget I started looking at my domestic e-retailer for what was available of the kind. And I couldn't recognize any of them. What are the good/best options fo...

Exciting for sure! The 5900X looks to dethrone Intel in single-thread performance, and that is pure awesome! It's slightly above budget for the kid, as he was aiming for the 5600, but seeing the pure awesomeness of the 5800 in this leak, it might very well be worth the investment to spend the extra ...

Haha! yes, it's exiting times for sure. I saw a performance/benchmark leak over at videocardz yesterday. It places the 2060S at around 50% of a 3080. Good boost there. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-synthetic-and-gaming-performance-leaked Really excited over at what AMD has up t...

Kid is still on the fence...waiting. He's determined to wait out the release of the desktop AMD 4-series. I envy him the patience, but I have a hunch he'll not be regretting that decision. And the Nvidia 30-series looks insanely good. At a killer price level. It looks like the 3070 will potentially ...

I ceratinly agree. It's just the wait that is bugging him right now :lol: And he's on Gen 4 with the i5 4460, so it sure will be an upgrade anyway. But he's also experiencing decision aversion, so who knows, he may postpone pulling the string and ordering long enough to seeing the 4xxx-series in the...

Clean and tidy.
Nice build!

Looks like stock ain't an option for the Comet Lake CPUs anyway. Listed as w/o heatsink in the store.
I guess he's on to something useful for a decent gaming setup. We'll do some more windowshopping before pulling the plug on anything.

Thanks.

Hello again. The kid finally got around to do some window-shopping for his upgrade. He did come up with some AIO watercooling systems. This is an area I'm not very familiar with. My question on that, which did not turn up with an immediate obvious answer from google; How will a CORSAIR iCUE H100i RG...

Looks like we'll see the 4000 from AMD late in 3rd quarter... Not sure if the kid wants to wait that long.
Comet Lake are still rumoured for May release...

No CaNNon, I never did any maintenance or backup. Not even sure if I ever was admin or just global moderator. Do remember the red color to my handle tho, so I may have been admin. But as said, never backed up anything :( K I'm in the same boat Koma, those @411overkill.com Emails will be coming back!...
