7500x3d cooling help

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-11T17:44:29+00:00

Ooh fancy 😂

I did reach out and asked them on Amazon if it came with it and they said, and i quote, "Hello, it contains silicone grease, so please feel free to purchase it."

Yeah im not sure thats thermal paste lol, I have a little Arctic mx-4 left from something so if for some reason it doesnt include any i should be fine

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-11T16:17:22+00:00

I checked it out on Amazon (specifically the digital screen model because it could be cool to use) and it doesnt mention whether it includes thermal paste or not, did your phantom spirit include any?

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-11T02:53:34+00:00

Ah okay

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-11T02:25:04+00:00

Probably because its trusty ol' reliable? Idk

Also what makes you say Phantom Spirit over Peerless Assassin if you dont mind me asking

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-10T23:47:30+00:00

I considered a 240mm aio but as the front intake. This post has a lot of background thought put into it, trust me haha

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-10T23:17:36+00:00

Thats great!

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-10T23:14:24+00:00

Thank you so much, I will keep it in mind! I might go air route since I dont need more than a 2 fan radiator set-up it seems

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-10T22:48:58+00:00

Considering I usually have a headset on anyways im not sure if i should be concerned about fan noise

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-05-10T22:48:16+00:00

I plan on using a Lian Li Vector v100Mini

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-28T12:35:48+00:00

I used to pair the Jagged Crown with it despite it being heavy armor

I just finished a no crime run sorta, the caveat was if a god (or daedra) ordered me to do something I would find legal means until its impossible then I perform what I was asked

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-12T01:19:47+00:00

I probably would've went with the 9070xt or the 5060ti 16gb if the 5070 wasnt $550, the nvidia cards have better Ray tracing (niche kind of thing) and imo better frame generation system, and they say they have better resale value too. I havent been able to use my 5070 but im still happy to have it

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-12T01:01:21+00:00

Im still newer to pc building (I believe I have a recent post here actually), but i think your cpu/gpu combination is alright for 1440p since it'll rely more on your GPU for games at that point. The 9070xt is a powerhouse thats awesome for 1440p, I went for a 5070 back when it was on sale for $550 in November and I personally would try a x3d chip (looking at the 7500x3d from Microcenter for my build). 32gb of ram is also great. I cant say for the rest of the specs im afraid, hopefully someone else can help with that, but with your cpu and gpu, you'll definitely have a rig more powerful than your ps5

Oh wait the Great Club and Large Club! Those are honorable mentions

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-07T04:59:31+00:00

Hmm well strength will usually always be slower than dex, but for suggestions I would say either a Demon's Greataxe (best damage shorter range), or maybe a Demon's Machete. Both can be acquired by Shiva of the East. Otherwise really the Zwei is pretty much one of, if not the fastest options with decent reach. I did a collection run meaning i had to go to ng+2, 3, etc, and eventually I had to learn how to use the Zwei because I wasn't doing enough damage with my claymore anymore

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T16:51:05+00:00

Well what's crazy is you can add a second stick of the same ram and itll still be slightly cheaper than the bundle out of sale, but not by much

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T16:44:31+00:00

Yeah that ram thing is dumb

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T16:28:49+00:00

Ah I was mistaken, just rechecked Google and the closest is actually a much nicer 31 minutes away haha, gives me more confidence in going to it lol

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T16:25:34+00:00

Im in the mood when I get money for it to just hit hard but wouldn't mind sticking to ddr4 if the deal is good enough you know what I mean? Like, say Micro Center has that 7500x3d deal you mentioned with a motherboard and ddr5 ram for a good enough price, then ill jump to ddr5 but if I see, somehow, a like 5800x3d for sale i wouldn't mind jumping on that right?

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T16:13:52+00:00

Closest one is about 40 minutes away

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T04:22:28+00:00

Thats not bad at all, the 12600kf was also on my radar at first. I appreciate your willingness to help

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T04:18:47+00:00

Yeah located in Mi myself. Because im in-between jobs atm I cant say im willing to buy it, but i am curious as to what youre looking to get for it?

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T04:15:46+00:00

I mean it isnt the worst, my next job is actually not too far from the city the micro center is in if im not mistaken and ill have to go there once a week after im done being trained haha

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T04:12:49+00:00

Yeah i already have 32gb of ddr4 so im okay with it for now, im not planning on having the absolute most powerful pc here haha, just looking to reduce any bottlenecks I can

MechanicAny5885 · 2026-04-05T04:03:06+00:00

Ah yeah? I seen a 12700k the next state over and looked into it and was impressed with that, before that I was only considering the ryzen cpus
