    General Chat Thread

    Guys, I need a recommendation for a cooler. This isn't for an SFF build but my main pc that i'm using now in an NZXT H500. I'm running a 2700X with the wraith prism at stock speeds and I'm idling around 38°C to around 42°C. I would like to have PBO always on but the wraith cooler is just not...

    That is amazing...and hilarious. Just imagining someone pulling out a 24" monitor out of their luggage gave me a good chuckle

    Design decision help

    Yes i definitely agree, but I can see why they do it that way. Games have been and are still a dirty and quick way to gauge a system's performance so of course they'd do it that way, but also these numbers would only interest nerds like us LOL.

    Why are you interested in SFF?

    Yes I see it. It's so hard to find a case that ticks ALL of the boxes, since there's so many people into SFF now i guess the brands have to try to cater to as many of them as possible

    Just to piggy back off this thread. To all the guys that travel with your SFF, do you bring along a screen or something? Or is it more like just bringing along the brain to places where you know you have peripherals available?

    Design decision help

    The C7 is able to cool the 2700X even with precision boost??? I was under the impression that i'd need at least a NH-L12S, and I'd have to make my case a little thicker to accommodate that Can i have a picture? I sounds very interesting and I'm having troubles imagining it haha
