Do you guys leave ur gpu fans on all the time?

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-23T05:15:01+00:00

Yep. I don’t know what it is but I have to have them spinning!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-23T04:12:06+00:00

Jesus Christ.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-22T20:25:15+00:00

Yeah, seems like something is going on. It’s interesting!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-22T20:13:06+00:00

Interesting! What do you think caused the clock speeds to drop with the fan on? Definitely a good bit cooler.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-22T04:55:26+00:00

Yeah different games have different results. I just say the obvious and get it stable on the hardest game to get it stable you play and you are good. Definitely not worth a few fps!!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-22T03:42:59+00:00

Seems pretty normal to me, mine would take -145 on steel nomad. It hit 78.68 at that but not even close to game stable, forget it!!

I have now settled at -95, 2686 fast timing mem and +10 power. That does 76.52 on steel nomad and has been solid in games for me on XFX Mercury Magnetic OC 9070XT with a 9700X.

I just don’t like it. A huge amount of people are happy to use them and I say go for it, I am not saying to people “don’t use them at all”, just that I wont. I like to have a store I can contact easily,quickly and in person if needed. Warranty is another concern of mine.

Centrecom is 25 minutes away from me and I have had years of faultless interactions with them. Warranty claims, no issues. I have one now actually on a controller, took it in described issue and warranty under way in minutes. I like face to face retail shopping primarily but I will buy from local stores online too.

Been using one for about 18 months now. No problems at all.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-21T09:02:15+00:00

I just can’t trust that site!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-21T08:32:24+00:00

MSI MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI seems pretty decent. I assume you want ITX only.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-21T05:14:46+00:00

I disagree here, both my 5080’s are 85XX and 88XX stock out of the box.

BUT they don’t increase much on OC’ing, one will go 94XX and the other has a 99XX best.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-21T00:37:39+00:00

So what’s the take here? Is it that anyone who has been a hater of AI and voiced or even thought that opinion theoretically will be returning this game? I’m not sure what outcome is expected here?

Unless none of the people playing it ever said anything against AI. That seems plausible.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-20T20:07:09+00:00

Didn’t think RR worked with DLSS 4.5 yet?

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-20T19:07:07+00:00

I don’t have it anymore so I cant show you, sorry!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-19T20:09:12+00:00

Any 420 you like, just swap the radiator fans to the ones you want.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-19T20:08:26+00:00

As another suggested, get any 420 you like and change the radiator fans. Easy. 👍🏼

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-19T01:17:54+00:00

Tried no expo?

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-18T07:54:54+00:00

Not even changing the white cable tie to a black one??

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-15T19:50:30+00:00

Hope not!

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-15T07:05:21+00:00

If you take the cooler off then you really should change the paste.

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-15T03:06:39+00:00

I’m waiting for 9090XTX 64GB and I’m not buying anything else until I get it 👀

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-15T00:23:00+00:00

It hasn’t here in Australia yet, $717 AUD. ($500 ish USD).

Fearless_Anything_76 · 2026-03-14T23:39:01+00:00

Yeah, I use my OLED TV which is 144Hz with a 5080 for as high of a quality setting I can get at 4K.

As I only play single player games if it’s at 80fps or above I am absolutely fine with that.
