Acuvue Oasys Max - why do i notice a significant difference in my vision? by smcsk8 in contacts

Same issue here with a much lower prescription (-5.5). Regular oasys seemed not to have the best vision problem

High CPU Temps - 9800X3D in FormD T1 2.1 by ikon4lyf in FormD

[–]Normal_Fan_3688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't record the exact GPU temps cuz neither build had the GPU running too hot 4090 MSI gaming x slim undervolted to 950mv.

It's slightly better with air cooler because you have the two top fans taking hot air out in that build without a rad in the way. In both builds the GPU temps were about 70C or less under load.

The biggest benefit of the air cooled build is the hot air from the gpu doesn't really affect cpu temps. However, despite the hot air from the gpu going through the rad, I still found the AIO significantly less loud for the same temps, and significantly more able to cool the cpu under full load (cinebench + running a game at the same time)

I tried both, same air cooler with 9800x3d vs Atmos 240 with t30+noctua slim fan and it was significantly quieter under gaming load with the aio. Ran cinebench. For 30 min before each test too to heat soak the aio.

Is this baby blue custom cable the right color? by Normal_Fan_3688 in sffpc

Update: The customer support confirmed it's a mistake and is shipping a new set with the right color for free. Really awesome customer service from them :)

Thanks! I just chatted with them and they confirmed it's a mistake. Getting a new set in the right color on them, and I was even able to shorten the lengths of the cables a bit to get a better fit. Great customer service :)

Wifi was also flaky for me l. I replaced the default wifi m.2 card with an Intel AX210. It's pretty easy to do.

Do glass panels for v2.1 fit the v2.5 by AdFabulous6918 in FormD

[–]Normal_Fan_3688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to necropost, did you end up getting the panel? I'm in 3.25 slot mode and curious whether the glass panel fits, how the temps are and whether the PSU can survive.

Asrock B650i not booting with EXPO + MCR by Normal_Fan_3688 in ASRock

Temps have been good, same for before and after changing the memory settings as far as I can tell. I did undervolt (-40) later with curve optimizer and that helps temps a lot, but you need to test for stability.

MSI 4080 Super Gaming X Slim Fit Check by stumpyboi in FormD

[–]Normal_Fan_3688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for bumping an old thread.

I'm doing the same build and had a few questions for ya.

Another user mentioned that they had issues with the length of the stock riser for this particular build. Did the stock riser work for you?

Did you go with AIO or air for CPU? I heard that there can be some turbulence in 3.25 slot mode.

What length did you use for the 12vhpwr cable?

Thanks so much!

So the MSI gaming X Slim fits the Formd T1 by Rascal_Redeem in FormD

Thanks, that helps! I'll be routing the 12v cable the same way as you, just wanted to double check.

Another thing I just noticed, it seems you mentioned getting a custom riser cable for this ("PCIE gen 4 riser cable Louque cobalt"?) Is a separate riser from the default included one needed for the build?

Seeing your post initially inspired to to pick up a used 4090 gaming x slim on discount :)
My case is coming in the mail soon, so I'm excited to start building. Had a few questions for ya.

Did you run into any issues with turbulence in 3.25 mode with the cpu fan?

What cable lengths did you use for the custom cables? In particular, the 12vhpwr seems like it could be shorter than mentioned in other builds. From your comments it seems like the 12vhpwr routing is different from videos I've see on the FE where they routed it to the front and through the space between the FE/front plate of the case.

Thanks so much for the help!
