What about flipping the PSU? That should open up some room for you in terms of the tubing.

Now that the AMD Announcement was made, and man! $580 for the 6800 XT looks like an awesome card with better power/cooling efficiency and let's not forget about the 6900XT at the same 300W and size footprint.

Yeah the 3070 looks decent, but I probably wouldn't get that and look for either the RTX 3080 / 3090 or see what AMD has to offer with their RX 6000 lineup. It's definitely interesting that the competition is getting furious with GPUs. Very exciting and a great time to buy. I heard that the...

To be honest, not too much. Which is why my recommendation is sticking with 3600 mhz as it's not much more for the money but put you higher up in the spectrum (albeit not that much) but not too slow for the future technology. Here's a comparison between 2666 vs 3200 vs 3600 With that...

I would highly suggest DDR4 3600 memory at the bare minimum, these new Zen 3 5000 series chips will most obviously better than the last Zen 2 refresh. If they are even remotely similar, the Zen 2 XTs loved higher infinity fabric / FCLK speeds, which I assume is the case with Zen 3. It would be...

There's several variations that Fabio has built over time. His second iteration on Page 2 to 4 definitely had both a Titan RTX and a Titan V in the same build.

Yes, the Gigabyte X570 has a USB-C / TB3 connector at the back. The BIOS does indeed indicate to support TB3. I'll grab a screenshot from my BIOS.

At 53-54 is still decent. Should be getting more than $.70 unless your electricity costs are really expensive. I know areas like California is like 3x the average rate, here in Canada it's about .92 kwh.

I just tried using Argus Monitor and if can actually do a software enabled curve to control the fan based on a specific temperature diode (of your choice. What's interesting is that Argus can link a GPU temp diode and then control the motherboard fan to spin up accordingly to the curve. Right...

No, but if you google it, the occurrences are far more than deemed comfortable, at least to me. Here, and check the comments too! I would take zero risks on watercooling and rather pay more for that as an insurance. 2 things I never cheap out on; powersupplies and cooling (water cooling...

Actually, all GPUs can make you money, It's just how much you need to spend and how quickly you make it back. That's where AMD has more of the edge, RX 5700 / RX 5700 XT are all the mining rage right now as it's a sweet spot. The RTX 3080 is still a great cryptominer based on my calculations...

If you underclock and set a different profile, I think you can gain more than that. Should be getting at least 52-54MH/s with stock settings, but with tweaking you can get those cards down to 56-58 MH/s @ 130W consumption which works to about a dollar a day, which if you think about it, that...

I wouldn't go for a Coolermaster personally.

Looks like the Corsair H100i Pro works with 3x Noctua A12x15 PWM.

@NewUser11 Yeah by no means am I saying that the new processors from AMD will surpass Intel yet in gaming, I think most of us are anticipating that they are but until we see actual reviews and comparisons in games to confirm. All I'm saying is that you may want to wait as this will 100% affect...
