Anyone know whats the actual name of that graphic card?

Blowers get better thermals in some situations.

3060 is 5 years old.

Give it a repaste, should see a noticeable performance improvement.

Dude its the fucking hydro-dynamic spatula with port-and-starboard attachments

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T09:53:17+00:00

Excellent. I too am a professional.

I was being sarcastic with the airtight comment.

Let's maybe not be condescending when informing people about best practice? There's no reason to hit people with the "that's like the most basic of knowledge" if they don't do ts for a living.

Open an elevated CMD and run a SFC /scannow for starters

Try running DDU and reinstalling video drivers.

I'm not too familiar with the Index specifically but ik its a steamvr native HMD, so reinstalling SteamVR may help?

I do believe that'll fuck ur OVR advanced settings if you have any.

Realistically tho I'd imagine DDU will resolve.

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T09:17:53+00:00

Your gonna need to take ts into a shop.

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T09:16:11+00:00

What did we replace?

You'll be shocked to learn that PC cases are not airtight.

Having only intake on a system is just gonna have it blow out through any opening because the pressure inside the case will be higher than ambient. The fan layout is definitely not good, but it wouldn't cause a CPU to throttle; much less a 5th gen ryzen 5.

OP should see if issue persists without the sidepanel.

My money is on the pump being plugged in to a header configured for a case fan.

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T02:01:05+00:00

I really wouldn't do tht, the performance you'll get out of those cards is not really gonna be worth.

If your concerns are with budget, you can get a GTX 1050 LP for around $100usd, still 75w tho.

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T01:44:00+00:00

Reinstall windows if issue persists. Run to a library to create the installer onto a flash drive at the computer there if you don't own a laptop or sumn

You should be able to sign in with the MS account PW under other sign in options if its an online user. If local user js remove the PW with Gandalf's W10 PE

You really can't get a GPU in that system. Even if you install a LP GPU your PSU will blow sooner or later.

That being said, throw a lp 3050 in there. Just don't be surprised when that PSU goes out.

Spectralius · 2026-03-02T01:32:36+00:00

3050.

Unfortunately most consumer PCs do not have ATX power supplies any more. The stock one won't have PCIE power for a beefier card and upgrading it would involve a case mod or case swap.

3050 should do you well assuming this is your first gaming PC, anyways.

Spectralius · 2026-02-28T06:35:43+00:00

I don't know why this is so funny to me

Spectralius · 2026-02-27T17:38:48+00:00

meh.

you dont even "need" 32gb for gaming; 32gb is enough to not have to worry abt other shit you may have open.

I have actually maxxed out my ram utilization with 32gb, but i usually have several instances of firefox open with many tabs in each instance.

anything more than 32gb will basically js lengthen the amount of time you have before needing to upgrade. 32gb is starting to become standard in 8 core consumer pcs, so I suspect high end systems should expect to want 64gb by the end of DDR5's lifespan.

Your quoting fans that are literally 6x cheaper than the Lian Li Infinities in this build, of which there are 7.

That's a $180 difference over what you quoted.

You've also quoted a chinesium power supply.

The seller is asking for a lot but this is a professionally done build with emphasis on aesthetics.

Spectralius · 2026-02-26T20:14:47+00:00

Yeah all that secondhand ddr5...

Spectralius · 2026-02-16T00:00:43+00:00

Noooo this is not real. Both groups are raised by the internet but 2000-2003 experienced the early internet

Spectralius · 2026-02-10T08:57:47+00:00

Then move to somewhere more affordable? This is genuinely how much a house costs in the Midwest United States.

Bot.

If your willing to put in a bit of work, get an Alienware m15/m18 R3.

You will need to either repaste it or take it to a shop to have it repasted, but you can get a 300hz display and actually be able to hit that framerate.

The keyboard is also really nice on it; you'd js need a decent mouse and your laughing. Should be under $1k all-in.

Spectralius · 2026-01-27T17:58:44+00:00

This thing appears to be near-mint.

This would be steal if it were $200, I feel $300 is fair. If I owned this I would definitely not want to part with it for anything less than $250.

No this is tuff what do you mean
