    Question Getting SSD for ThinkPad X1 - 980 Pro or SN850?

    Thanks. I've actually decided to repurpose a 2TB 970 Evo Plus drive from my desktop that only had 200gb of data on it. Will do a swap tomorrow, and that'll save me $400 :) It's not as fast as the PCIe4 drives, but in real world usage the difference is probably barely noticeable. And "free" is...

    Question Getting SSD for ThinkPad X1 - 980 Pro or SN850?

    Alright, I just got a new ThinkPad X1 Yoga laptop, with 11th Gen Core i7, so it supports PCIe4. It came with a 1TB Toshiba PCIe Gen3 drive, and I either way want to put in a 2TB drive (it only has 1 M.2 slot). I'm looking for the overall best mix of performance and power efficiency, and am...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    No, planning on going AIO with the GPU.

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    Well, in this new case for some reason the H110i is not giving me significantly better temperatures than the Noctua NH-D15. And to give me those temperatures, it generates a lot more noise than the Noctua. So what I'm gonna do is just return the H110i. In this Corsair 750D case I overall get...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    So I decided to exchange my Fractal Design R5 case for a Corsair Obsidian 750D, which has better airflow than the R5. It's also bigger and roomier so easier to work in. Along with that I got a Corsair Hydro 110i GT. Installed it in the top as exhaust. Two 140mm intake fans at the front of...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    All this research about water-coolers is almost giving me a mind to send the D15 back to Amazon and go full AIO for both GPU and CPU. But I'll think it over a bit more. Have until the 20th to return the D15, beyond that I'm stuck with it. Noise/performance ratio wise though, the D15 is hard...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    I think for now I'm gonna try just doing the GPU, and will leave the CPU air-cooled. From researching a bit more last night it seems that I will not gain much in terms of temps in the CPU department when going from my Noctua NH-D15 to a AIO setup. The GPU however is another story, and there are...

    GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

    Yeah, well too bad EVGA.com charges a 15% restocking fee. Didn't think I'd feel the need to exchange it once I had it so that's why I went with EVGA.com. Now I kinda regret that. Asked if I could return it and upgrade to 980Ti Hybrid, but they said I still need to pay 15% restocking fee...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    If I go the AIO route for the GPU (which I probably will), I might go for the NZXT G10 + NZXT Kraken X31 combo. Or the soon to be released Corsair HG10 N980 + a Corsair Hydro cooler. Those also have solutions for the VRAM with heatsinks/coolers for that area and then an open spot where you...

    GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

    So at stock speeds running an EVGA 980Ti SC+ ACX2.0+ on a Furmark stress test, it started throttling speeds once I reached 88C. And I reached 88C pretty quickly, with ambient temps of around 27C. Is that normal behavior?

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    Perhaps... though I ordered my current card directly from EVGA, so there would be a 15% restocking fee since it's otherwise not defective. But I might get in touch with them to see if I can work something out with them. It would be the easiest route, and overall also the cheapest route as it's...

    Converting to water-cooling for CPU/GPU

    Hi guys, I recently built a new PC (a few weeks ago) with a 4790K and a Noctua NH-D15 cooling it. This is all in a Fractal Design R5 case. I'm thinking of upgrading to water-cooling. Why? Yesterday I received my EVGA 980Ti SC+ ACX+ video card, but I'm not really happy with the temps I'm...

    GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

    Yeah, that's what I think too... might have to look into a AIO water cooling solution down the road for the 980Ti.

    GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

    The fans do completely shut off at idle and the custom fan curve I've applied doesn't have them turn on until about 60C. I can of course change that and always have them spinning at about 10%-20% of max speed and then start ramping up >60C. But the idle temp isn't my main concern, I'm more...

    So ran a benchmark last night on my brand spanking new EVGA 980 Ti SC+ ACX+ (see system specs in my signature) on the Unigine Valley benchmark. Ran at 2560x1440 on Ultra settings, no AA. Setup is factory stock, no OC. FPS: 100.4 Score: 4200 FPS min: 31.8 FPS max: 183.2 Stats from GPU-Z: Max...
