The NH-D15 has a Chromax version now if you can find it in stock. The alternative is a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.

Biggest problem with these kind of heatsinks is that you need low profile RAM like Corsair Vengeance LPX or it can sometimes interfere with RAM slots depending on the motherboard.

Looking for an ultrawide monitor that is currently on sale LOL

Currently using 2x S2716DG but would rather have a single or two ultrawides....

Thanks for all your help the new cooler and exhaust fan fixed it.

Well that would not be out of the range pf possibilities lol.

Talking about rear caae fan or fan on cpu? My front case fans draw air in the rear case fan is blowing out.

This.

Even if the fan is facing the back you want it blowing against the heatsink towards the exhaust.

A quick way to know which way the fan blows air is it will always blow from the open side towards the side with the x shaped brace

Reverse the side the heatsink fan is on. That'll improve COD temps even more

I'll try, didn't think I had space on that side because of ram but I'll try in the morning.

quasi 02-10-2021 07:14 AM

Fixed it, thank you for the heads up. Wasn't a lot of room on that side but I did get it on there.

It just comes in a box wrapped in packing foam.

Looks good so far, produced in the last week of December. Gives me confidence it's not used..

So what's the best way after I install it to determine if the specs are legit?

How come you're selling it already?

For the GPU, you'll want to have 2 separate PCIe cables instead of one daisy-chained one. More stable that way.

Mr.Money 02-10-2021 12:26 PM

^ stupid i do have two PCIe cables packed in with corsair and apparently Seagate recommends separate duel PCIe to beefy GPU's


had no issues of crashes or low fps but i get a fuzzy feeling I'm using both now.
also 3090 Rtx users saying "what are you talking about i'm using a single cable and its fine" on reddit.

I had no issues with a single cable for my 2070S but now I'm wondering if it's why my 5700xt kept crashing.

Also try not to put your PC on rug/carpet or it'll choke your PSU air intake. A wooden board or something between the PC and rug would be better.

roastpuff 02-10-2021 02:07 PM

It totally depends on the build of your PSU - sometimes the GPU PCI-E cables are fed from a single rail, sometimes from dual.

FWIW I'm running a 3070 on a single cable and not having any issues with my Corsair RM750x

SkinnyPupp 02-10-2021 02:46 PM

It'll be fine with one cable. Much cleaner too SeemsGood

saw it on fb, look identical to yours lol

other than the line you blocked out in the picture, the other numbers are the same

BIC_BAWS 02-11-2021 09:26 PM

Kinda on topic, kinda not. Almost done my desk setup. Just need a new PC and some cable management. This is my ongoing project for the last three months ish.

2x 28" 4K IPS monitors at Lenovo EPP on Black Friday for ~ $690 shipped (~ $300 per monitor)

1x Vari Dual Monitor Mount

1x Autonomous AI standing desk with Bamboo top. I figured if I was paying the money, I'd rather go with a nicer top than MDF. Autonomous AI build quality sucks btw. Had to drill new holes LOL

1x ThinkPad Bluetooth Keyboard. It arrived today. I'm slightly disappointed that the key travel, the trackpoint feel, and the left/scroll/right click buttons feel is not the same as my T460. But for the most part I like it. Build quality is very very good. Beats the Logitech K200 media keyboard I bought to use for watching shows in bed. God I hate that touchpoint and keyboard. Granted the ThinkPad keyboard is at least double the cost. Not for everyone, but my productivity is so high with this keyboard and 4K monitor setup.

Side note, I didn't realize that CPUs and GPUs were so in demand. About a month ago, I found a 5600x for $420 in stock LOL. Didn't buy it cause I was like meh whatever. Fat regrets. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1f2454baf3.jpg

Not sure if this is against the rules but I bought an extra GPU off BestBuy.

Anyone in Vancouver interested?

ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB GDDR6X Video Card
After taxes was $2,666.

Does anyone know if their RGB RAM get hot/warm on idle?
I bought these aftermarket RGB heatspreaders and plugged them in for about 10 mins without installing them on RAM yet, and they get decently hot to the touch, but only when the RGB lights are turned on.

I'm wondering if RGB function actually generate more heat, kind of defeating the purpose of using them on RAM. Or it could just be that these aftermarket rgb spreader I bought aren't very good.
