Looks great.

I hope @-GD- is okay.

Ouch. Glad they came through though.

Looks more real than anything I've seen at my residence.

No, it doesn't at all. I do like it though. Would be badass to integrate that into a scene in a game.

Of course.

This looks badass, but it doesn't look real.

It's mostly because you can get away with flashing an X470 board to support PCIe 4.0 and they're cheaper right now. I'd get an X570 anyways.

Jesus Christ. The officiating in this game.

Lucky calls on back to back plays.

Admittedly, none of the good ones. But I also consider the Noctua being one of the best of the best, which is an air cooler I suggested earlier in this thread.

I went overboard on the AIO. If you want to stick to air then I'd suggest a Noctua NH-D15 or do what Hot Sauce did try out the Wraith Prism. Worst case scenario is you don't sustain boost clocks, but for me personally, I like to maintain my boost clock for a $300+ CPU. Everyone's recommendations/suggestions vary just as much as the amount of available PC components on the market. There's a lot of choice.

Might as well be.

You really think a push/pull 240mm is going to perform worse than a high end air cooler?

It's so bad.

So you did post something completely different like I said.

Considering you can get a 240mm for cheaper than a high end air cooler I'm not sure what cost issue you have? Unless you're one to require the highest end brand named AIO? Regarding my experience, there's nothing to tell. The Wraith Prism didn't perform well and that's my experience along with many many others, but yes, others don't have "issues". I guess if you're okay with the CPU throttling to keep itself cooler while under load and in the 80s then it's all good.

If money isn't an issue then do yourself a favor and get the AIO if you're going with the 3700X. Last time I fucked with a Coolermaster AIO I returned it because the pump whine was that bad. I have an NZXT Kraken X62 and a Corsair H115i... the Kraken whines at full RPM, but the Corsair is quiet can't even hear it.

True. I don't own an RTX... but that's because it flopped.

Why? I actually own those parts, dumbass.

I have 2700X, tried the Wraith Prism and had multiple issues. Repasted twice, idled in the mid 40s, regular usage in the high 50s, low 60s and you could get high 80s low 90s under load no problem. Only took a couple minutes and you could start cooking with it. Fan is also a noisy POS. I thought my IHS maybe needed some lapping, nope. Then I thought maybe wasn't getting enough mounting pressure, nope. Went into the BIOS, played around, still had high temperatures for what I consider acceptable (under load high 70s). Thermal throttle starts rearing it's ugly head once you get into th
