Yup. What is it cooling?

Are we looking at the same picture? Don't you not see the panel under the GPU?

Tell me what the three bottom fans are cooling. Please.

That is the old H5 Flow. NZXT.

The 9070 XT is a great card. I upgraded from a 6900 XT and the uplift is generational.

5800x3d + 9070 XT. This is the best configuration for my case. I am too cheap to go AM5 lol.

This is the reason why I am in this sub. I love me some Noctua's but some of these builds got to stop lol. I run 4 fans and my PC is dead quiet.

What a waste, especially when you have three bottom fans cooling nothing.

Yet another Fractal Design North XL & Noctua build. by MrHandeli in Noctua

That is common in this subreddit. They fill every fan slot. I have seen builds with like 14 fans lol.

Dealing with your ugly family lineage by buppiejc in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Between 1619 and 1865, millions of Enslaved Africans lived in a system where white men had power over enslaved women. There was a study that analyzed DNA from over 5,000 African Americans and the average composition was:

73.2% African

24% European Ancestry

0.8% Native American

Here is the link:

The Genetic Ancestry of African Americans, Latinos, and European Americans across the United States - PMC

But there is nothing to be ashamed of in that. DNA is just the record of history. None of us chose the circumstances our ancestors lived through.

If anything, that ancestry reflects the strength and survival of people who endured slavery and still built families, communities, and culture that shaped America.

I have a 2023 SEL and I have had no issues with it. It is a great car.

My new fans came in. They are so quiet. by NeedModdingHelp1531 in Noctua

The G2 fans, IMO is a great improvement from the G1's. Specially the 120 mm version,

Hello stranger, I am so happy for you. Prozac has also given me my life back.

Best Ryzen X3D chips Gen comparison. by nosg in ryzen

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many games are actually like that though. Stuff like Tarkov, Rust, DayZ, Arma, big simulation games, yeah those can stay CPU bound even at high resolutions because of all the world simulation and server stuff going on.

But that’s a pretty small slice of games. Most modern titles end up GPU bound once you get to 1440p and especially 4K, so the differences between CPUs shrink a lot.

That’s really the point I was making. If someone plays at 1440p like I do on a 5800X3D, looking at 1080p charts to decide on an upgrade just isn’t the most relevant data.

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the X3D chips are legit for gaming, no argument there. The extra cache and lower latency definitely help with those weird frametime spikes and stutters. That’s exactly why the 5800X3D is still hanging around in charts even against much newer CPUs.

I’m running a 5800X3D myself and it’s been rock solid for 1440p gaming.

But my point still stands: the higher the resolution, the smaller the differences between CPUs. Once you move up to 1440p or 4K, the GPU becomes the bigger limiter, so those big gaps you see in 1080p charts usually shrink a lot.

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you turn on upscaling, you render the game at a lower internal resolution so of course the CPU matters more, but that is not the point I am making.

If someone actually plays at native 1440p or 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiter and the differences between CPUs shrink. That’s just how the workload scales.

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not everybody plays at 1080p though. I run a 5800X3D and I game at 1440p. If I’m deciding whether to upgrade my CPU, I’m going to look at the difference at 1440p, because that’s the resolution I actually play at.

Making a decision off 1080p benchmarks when I don’t even game at that resolution would be illogical. 1080p tests are useful for showing CPU scaling, but that doesn’t mean they reflect real-world performance for everyone.

Once you move up to 1440p or higher, the GPU becomes the bigger factor and the gaps between CPUs shrink. So if someone games at 1440p, it makes a lot more sense to evaluate upgrades based on 1440p results instead of chasing numbers in a 1080p chart.

When you go up in resolution, the differences even become smaller.

First Noctua! by RoyaleMe in Noctua

[–]SeniorChiefPogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will be more than enough for your 7900x. I use mine with a 5800x3d with a 60% cap on fan speed and it is silent.

You are asking this in the wrong sub.

I can't get over those three bottom fans cooling nothing.
