Holy poo poo, I normally am not one to pine over new tech but I may be selling my 980ti to get a 1080. Am I nuts? I run a 1440p 165hz monitor so I actually need the power.

LogicalFallacy posted:The radiators are not solid. They're essentially a bunch of tiny pipes for The water. You attach fans to the radiator to ensure air flow across them, so that's not an issue. As for whether they're worth it, I have an H80i v2 which does a pretty good job. It's hooked up to an i5 6600K OC'ed to 4.4GHz, and I haven't seen it get anywhere above 60C. This is my first ever custom build though, so I have no idea exactly how that compares to air cooled. "Solid" = good

Deviant posted:My concern is that the n200 case is pretty cozy. The only place a 240mm radiator would fit is in front, and then I'm preheating the air in the case. That's gonna put extra heat on the gpu. A 120mm radiator could go more places (rear exhaust slot or top slot) but I question if it's going to be effective. I've got a corsair cooler now and been using them for years with no issues, they also have a leak proof thing if something goes south. Yea but the air is not that hot so it's no issue if you have adequate airflow. What you will have problems with is maintaining positive pressure, if your main intake (the front) has to pull through a radiator and a filter you will have to probably double fan sandwich the radiator if you have any other fans in the case blowing air out.

DraegonX posted:I'm planning on a big upgrade to my gaming desktop. After going through the suggested parts in the first few posts, I came up with this list. Any thoughts? Few things Bump that psu to the 750, it's not much more money and you will be closer to the efficiency curve, and you will have headroom. Drop the ram to 16gb The 850 is out of date, you can get a 950 nvme drive that will be much faster for 199 now. Ditch the cd drive Get windows on a USB.

Phlegmish posted:I've never seen anyone recommend 750W for a regular gaming build. Are there really still efficiency gains to be had from going that high? 199 for 250.

Tufty posted:Hi guys. I'm in the process of choosing parts for a new gaming build, primarily for VR, and would love some feedback before I start buying This just seems like a really bad idea, VR is in its infancy and throwing money at a "budget" build to be an early adopter just seems like a way to have a bad time. Personally I would not venture down VR unless you are building out very high end, at the moment VR games are very indie and not that demanding and they still recommend a 1070, once we start getting major titles the demands to run these games are going to go insane.
