    Air makes its way from the reservoir into the radiator.

    This air could be coming from your blocks. Many moons ago I was getting air travelling all around the loop, didn't stop. Pulled everything apart, put it back together, same thing. Even pulled the GPU blocks apart (HD6950's) and still nothing. Did this many times and still couldn't fix the...

    Your way of cooling your PC?

    Voted CPU + GPU on Custom Loop. Pretty tight squeeze for a Corsair 460x (mid tower) but will hopefully be assembling a Thermaltake Tower 500 soon.

    Core Configurations of Intel Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop Processors Surface

    This Arch is all going to come down to IPC. Let's see if they can release another Core 2.

    Does anyone here overclock their video cards? Is it really worth it?

    Nah, not anymore. The better you cool them the more they boost clock anyways. I'm more into power limiting them these days for better efficiency.

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    I wonder if it will need 2x 12V-2x6 connectors to power it :wtf: Surely hope not. Double the trouble.

    14900k - Tuned for efficiency - Gaming power draw

    Could they also be doing this because HT has been vulnerable to attacks in the past? Is this still a viable question with HT on, or has this problem been fixed up via CPU micro codes?

    Sins of a Solar Empire II to Release on Steam this Summer

    This reminded me I actually had this installed. Jumped straight on it as I hadn't touched it for over 12 months lol. Some of my saved games go back to 2017 : ) Gees, gota love that GPU and CPU usage. Just over 30w ;)

    AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Now at a Mouth-watering $329

    Yep, Im in the exact same boat except I've been using intel for over 20 years. Will wait for the next Intel vs AMD results to make a more informed choice but the way it's looking I could finally be going AMD : )

    RTX 4090?

    Why would they drop the price if their top tier card is selling the best? I'm surprised the 4090 has sold so well within the current economic landscape. Just goes to show there is still plenty of deep pockets. There is now an incentive for Nvidia to put prices up as they are quite well aware...

    Intel Statement on Stability Issues: "Motherboard Makers to Blame"

    Does charging protection matter?

    Well, I did read years ago its best to charge to 100% then down to around 20% then fully charge again but batteries and charging sciences have changed over the years. My new iPhone 15 is suggesting charging to 80% (to keep battery life optimal) then recharge when it hits 40%. I have an 80%...

    Yeah, that's the hard part, especially with matching serials.
