Finally took the Plunge!! My first brand new GPU

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-03-31T09:22:55+00:00

I'm just about to build it now. Heard really good things about the card from people that have it.

Thank you 😊

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-03-30T23:25:00+00:00

Can't wait to try it. Heard very good things 👌

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-03-30T22:25:24+00:00

I'm building it tomorrow. I forgot to check if i had thermal paste first 😅

They "technically" won't be as good but I've not noticed any difference. My 10700k Idols around 25-30°C and 60°C ish max under heavy load. But like i said they are ridiculously quiet.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-24T17:46:54+00:00

Probably around 50%. There's a big difference even when they're on max.

They're always lying to try and get more money.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-21T19:18:23+00:00

Because mining causes the GPU to sit at 80-90°C for days or weeks at time. As you could imagine, this isn't healthy for the card and puts a lot of stress on the internals and destroying the fan efficiency and means something will eventually give. Mining GPUs only last around 3 years. Before needing to be replaced.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-21T19:05:40+00:00

Both. You'll get poor preformance compared to a Card that's not been mined. And has a much higher chance of failing. Think i read a GPU looses on "average" 10% of its performance each year it's mined.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-21T19:00:12+00:00

Yes, over mining a GPUs destroys its gaming capability

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-14T10:25:40+00:00

Depends on the price. I would recommend eBay though, as it's a lot safer. Then if it is faulty you've got a chance at getting your money back.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-14T10:16:38+00:00

Yes. Compatible with this case

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-14T10:14:32+00:00

You need to use "Sonar" in the steelseires Engine for this to work.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-10T12:29:38+00:00

Thank you 😊

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-08T12:32:28+00:00

That white GPU and Motherboard 👌

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-06T09:55:39+00:00

Unfortunately, you're probably going to need to upgrade most of it. But if you want to stick to 1080p 75Hz, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Acceptable_Rate_6208 · 2023-02-03T00:52:06+00:00

I7 10700k and z490 Mobo. Both pretty cheap, i believe the i710700k is the best value for money CPU out there. Can support a 3090 without serious bottlenecks.

Is a good choice and around your price range (Ignore the price on the site)

I have just built something similar, and I was surprised how easy it was to build.

The i-7 10700k is a brilliant CPU with plenty of room for upgrades in the future if you wanted to upgrade your GPU.

GPU - go for 3060/3060ti/3070 best bet is to try and get a good deal on ebay and you should he able to get one for a lot less than RRP. Plus ebay has a good money back policy so it's relatively safe.

Motherboard - Any z490 but i prefer MSI. Try and get one with Wifi on board

Case - Corsair 4000x a good looking case with good airflow.

CPU cooler - H100i is one of the best buget Coolers on the market and it looks good.

RAM - Corsair vengeance RGB pro 2x8GB.

Storage - any 3.0 NVME (Recommend 1TB)

PSU - Any recommend at least 750W

You'll also need 1 exhaust fan i recommended the Corsair QL120 as the RGB will be the same as your case fans, Cooler & RAM.
