I have a Palit 1660 Ti StormX (single fan). Even though it is only 120W TDP, this StormX is the best single fan card I ever owned. It is better than some dual fan cards. And it is not loud. Normally, I can not hear the fan until approximately 80% fan speed. I set the fan at constant 70% and I...

To reduce cpu temperature on intel: (1) Undervolt (2) Remove rear I/O cover (3) Increase cpu fan speed (4) Disable hyperthreading The 12400F (6 core / 12 thread) becomes 6 core / 6 thread with hyperthreading off. You could buy the 12400F and turn off hyperthreading. That would lower cpu...

If a person has enough money to buy a new RTX 4090 and new 1000 Watt ATX PSU and huge watercooler, then they also have enough money to buy a new ITX motherboard. Your proposed micro-ATX case with ATX PSU will not be smaller than existing ITX-only cases that already support ATX PSU and already...

This is my ideal small-form-factor PC case. * Max dimenions 255x255x155 (or 260x260x150) = 10 litres * Supports small micro-ATX because small micro-ATX are the cheapest motherboards. * Uses TFX or SFX PSU (because they are cheap/available and have good cooling). Otherwise use external brick...

In 2019, nvidia launched the 1660 Ti. Performs same as GTX 1070 but with 30 watts less power. Bravo nvidia. In 2020, nvidia launched the RTX 3090 with 100 watts more than the RTX 2080 Ti. But that's not all. RTX 3000/4000 has mysterious power spikes to kill your PSU faster, or at least force...

If you enjoy challenging turn-based dark/medieval/fantasy/magic/RPG games, this is the best I ever played. The difficulty is similar to playing pvp against a real person but this is a single-player game. The game is saved after every move. No reloading if you fail/die. You will die many times...

Over the past year, the games I played are: The Long Dark -- Story mode is good. Survival mode is very addicting. BTW, this is the only survival game I play. Destiny 2 -- best first-person-shooter combat I ever played. I play a warlock. Recent updates are underwhelming. Fallout 4- recently...

I don't want to spam/shill this forum with crypto mining but since you asked, I will tell you. The price of ethereum and bitcoin went down recently. Profits are down and will likely stay down. I strongly advise not to buy a graphics card only for mining. My favorite crypto coin is Monero...

Thanks for telling us about Little Nightmares! I got it for free too. Lately, I play only old games because I mine ethereum (24/7) I only lose 10% hash rate on my 1660 Ti while playing Thief (1999/2000).

Remove the rear I/O cover shield. The stock cooler will blow air out through the I/O hole. Trust me. A lot less heat will be trapped inside your case.

If the motherboard is installed without the rear I/O cover, then it should be possible to route all cables through the I/O hole, no?? Edit: Or drill a hole in I/O cover??

I like this case very much. Large mesh side-panel for ventilation. No thumb screws that protrude out. I would love to see some ITX/mATX/ATX cases in the same style.

In my opinion, sunmilo makes the most beautiful cases. If only they were easy to order. My ideal case would have the appearance of a sunmilo case but with metal side panel (for ventilation), no thumb screws because thumb screws protrude out. My ideal dimensions are: 250mmx250mmx150mm...
