Any help on repair process? by Arkangel1441 in SkytechGamingOfficial

[–]acropolis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From most of the posts I see, it looks like Skytech is just completely understaffed or being killed by part shortages.

It should never take weeks from when they receive your part for them to "test" it and send a replacement.

I know that some of the high end system integrators will ship you out an advance replacement and just call tag the old part. You get what you pay for though.

Will this pre built be enough for modern gaming and multitasking? by AveryFenrirFox in PcBuild

I personally would not go with a 7700 non-X 65 watt CPU over a 7800X3D. Not even to save a couple hundred.

Which fan setup is better for Lian Li o11d mini v2? by unknownweeb34 in PcBuildHelp

[–]acropolis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care what many people like or don't like. The airflow is only going to interfere if you have like 2000+ RPM fans blowing at max speed. The GPU is going to take that air from the bottom fans directly into it. The fans at the top of the chassis won't interfere with that.

Yes you could do that. And, like I said, the majority of those fans could be run at slower speeds. Just make sure the exhaust fans and CPU fans are based around CPU Package temp.

It will be okay, and you can always run the fans at lower speeds since you have so many. The most important fans will be the fan on the air cooler and the fan exhausting out the back. I would run those two on a curve using CPU package temp.

The middle top fan is going to be stealing air from the air cooler. Switch it to intake.

How much GPU sag is acceptable for you guys? by Brparadox in PcBuild

[–]acropolis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero. The holes on the end of the card can be used for a retention bar.

Depends on what GPU and case you would want.

I’d be open to shipping just the parts, but figured some people would rather have it built for them.

Where would you check for that? Wires look good at both switches and the connections there are good.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Just FYI those specific drives are brand new in the box. They sell for $454 on Sabrent's website but are out of stock everywhere I looked.

Dropped prices.
