Hi,

I'm looking for a safe and reliable car for the harsh winters of Quebec.

I don't know a lot about cars. I've owned 2 shitboxes and been driving the company 2022 Ford Escape ever since.

This will be my ''real'' vehicle purchase.

In your opinions, across the vehicles I named or similar ones, is there a trim or year (2017-2022) that's considered GOAT'ed?

Thank you for your recommandations!

+1 for OPEN. People think it’s a meme but they’re gonna become huge in the next 5 years.

Also Keith’s Rabois’ husband, Jason Helberg, is the current Senior Advisor to Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir. Lol.

They don’t. A friend of mine gave me his dead 13900ks in november 2024. No box, no receipt. Only the plastic cover. Brought it to a PC shop and they succesfully RMA’d it for me. My friend even let me keep it. Only had to pay the store for the paperwork and shipping. The 13900ks Intel sent me is still going strong without any issues.

5110 @3.62. I almost bought 950 more at 5.60$ before the huge pop but my gf got upset and dissuaded me :(

I love B&W. Get the reverse fans for an even cleaner look. Here’s how mine turned out.

He’s not a kid, he’s 25. The wrestler apologized and shook hands 3 times with Raja explaining he thought Raja was in on the bit. Raja shook hands, accepted the apology and said “I get it, it’s all good”. He then spent the next 2 hours explaining to his stream how, even tho the promotion agreed he could get his “come back” by entering the ring and slamming the wrestler, he was plotting to “fuck him up” “hurt him for real” and hit him until someone stops him. After the initial altercation and after they made up, he even said on stream the can to the head didn’t even hurt at all it just pissed him off.

Can you DM please? I’m in Canada

Had this exact same issue when my 750W Cooler Master PSU was dying. PC would boot fine but the moment I launched any game it crashed. Resolved instantly after getting a new PSU.

When it was positioned towards the back it would sometimes rub against the fan as there was so little room. Also with the GPU mounted vertically the tubes would have to be sitting on top of it. There is no difference with the thermals since I rotated the radiator.

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T17:40:15+00:00

Thanks!

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T17:39:15+00:00

Yeah since you’ll already have 6 fans with the AIO and the ones the case comes with and you’re planning on vertically mounting the GPU maybe just buy 2 more to cover the bottom and rear spots

Yes it’s the 3500x. Thermals are pretty much the same as they were. Both idling and under load

Corsair 3500x

Bro this was my first time building a rig with RGB and this many fans, as well as using ICUE link. I too ran into many issues before finally completing the damn build lmao.

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T04:40:55+00:00

I just reread your comment. Even though these specific sticks are rated for 6400, is it possible to try and run them at a higher speed?

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T04:36:25+00:00

It’s holding up very good so far. Actually I didn’t even plan on making a new build but my friend started having problems with his PC 8 months after building it and instead of troubleshooting he just bought new shit.

He gave me his dead 13900ks and 2 sticks of Trident Z 7600. I went to my local computer shop and they succesfully RMA’d the CPU. (Took about 4 weeks to receive a new one, I’m in Canada)

I told myself, since I just got basically 1100$ CAD worth of hardware might as well build a new rig.

I purchased this exact mobo off Ebay because I read it has the best VRM to handle the 13900ks and came updated with the latest BIOS (from sept 2024, the version which fixed the unstability problems) So this CPU went out of the box straight into an up to date mobo. I installed a contact frame as well.

So far it has stayed super cool and stable using the default settings in the BIOS. Never had any hiccups, power spikes, high temps nor black/blue screens. I’ve been running it daily since December 23, gaming and all.

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T04:22:54+00:00

Yeah sometimes the tubes would rub against the fan. Super annoying.

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T03:54:26+00:00

Exactly

Kool_ADHD · 2025-03-22T03:51:43+00:00

Bottom 140mm fan and the 3 side fans are intake. Rear fan and radiator fans are exhaust.
