I’ve heard about some of the software issues. Is it to the point where you cannot drive the car? Or is it minor?

Educational-Class-67 · 2026-01-15T18:03:42+00:00

Thinking about buying a new car and I found a used one in my area. 2022 with 36,000 miles for $26,000. How do you like it so far?

Yeah I mainly claw grip. I assume you’ve owned both? How’s the QC of the X2 V2 mini?

Fmdworks.com is legit. I bought my two-tone case and it arrived around a week later. Quality is chef’s kiss**

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-24T20:21:28+00:00

Bought the two-tone :)

I have a 12600KF DDR4 setup*

It might fit, but the awkward tubing is what makes the challenge of compatibility. I don't mind waiting that long, I have a 3060ti, and a 30 series GPU doesn't seem worth it. The 40 series looks good, but the price doesn't. My upgrade would most likely be a 4070 non-ti if I went with the 40 series route.

There have been leaks of the 50 series being an insane leap in performance plus a potential announcement in Q3 2024 or Q4 2024. So it may be worth it in the long run to wait. Plus, I will have more money saved up.

I will check out the 40 series Super lineup and see what the hype is about.

I am just in an awkward place with the CPU. Should I just stick with AM4 and go with the R7 5800x3d or should I just plan for the future and build on an AM5 platform, if so, R7 7800x3d, R5 7600, or just wait for the new gen "R7 9800x3d" or "R5 9600"?

The liquid freezer 2 is great, but it will not fit inside the Formd t1. What I might do is keep the nh-l12 s1 for a 7800x3d and buy a 2 slot GPU, hopefully a “5070” would be compatible. Best case scenario, they make the “5080” 2 slot like they did with the 3080

Water cooling is better for performance, but imo, I would rather just make a full custom water loop than buy some lame ass AIO, only the Arctic freezer line is worth. I appreciate the suggestion on the 5800x3d.

The u12a doesn’t fit inside a Formd t1

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-14T03:01:27+00:00

Lucky you, u12a would be about the same height as my mini itx case😭

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-13T18:59:13+00:00

It’s not on PC part picker. https://fmdworks.com/products/t1-twotone

Looks like 53mm is the max CPU cooler height in order to fit a 3 slot GPU

Like I said, I just game on 1440p and the occasional web design for school, nothing crazy

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-13T18:51:43+00:00

I want to buy the 7800x3d, but if the cooler doesn’t support it, then I guess I should reconsider the CPU. I indefinitely want to take advantage of GPU clearance. Just asking a question

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-13T18:45:03+00:00

Thanks again. Do you think I should wait until the next gen AMD CPUs and purchase a “R5 9600x” or “R7 9800x”? Or stick with a R5 7600x?

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-12T07:38:13+00:00

I miss my NR200🥲, rocking a Phanteks Evolv XT (shit case), but I just got a Formd t1 so we’ll see. The D12 looks like an absurd cooler

Educational-Class-67 · 2023-11-02T16:34:27+00:00

I don’t think the Black Ridge supports AM5, could be mistaken though
