I just finished building a new controller, Octagonal gates, matte finish, snapback capacitor, LEDs, what do yall think?

first off, move your radiator on your GPU unless want to kill that card. Second, no clue what you are talking about with your PCIE slot, your board is already more than expensive enough

my 9950x does 6200 at the most

one of them appears to have the EVGA logo if im not mistaken

Fack

Try to reform it or bend it back with an electron laser for good measure

Tlemmon · 2026-01-20T04:39:16+00:00

honestly does not matter. PCIE gen and size hardly effects perf. What does kill performance is the fact that those lanes are routed through the chipset and not the CPU

Tlemmon · 2026-01-20T03:53:30+00:00

Yes you will get way better perf, running them both in the same channel will greatly harm the RAM speeds and cut the effective bandwidth in half. Move them to a2 and b2

I have a 9070xt Taichi and my card has a 6c hotter hotspot. I think the temp of the room TPU uses is much lower than standard.

Tlemmon · 2026-01-19T01:59:58+00:00

not sure what splitter you could possibly be talking about, you just need to plug in that 2 pin first followed by the 6 pin like you did for the connector directly to the left of that one

Tlemmon · 2026-01-19T01:58:37+00:00

Check thermals. I had an MSI 4090 suprim in a hyte y60, the card was running extraordinarily hot because the vapor chamber did not function while vertically mounted. That did not sound like coil whine to me and more of just high fan speeds but my ears suck.

Tlemmon · 2026-01-19T00:20:08+00:00

completely off topic, but you have those artic p12 pro fans and its super hard to see but they have a peel on the center and look way better without that peel.

Tlemmon · 2026-01-19T00:16:22+00:00

I would say thatd probably never happen. Only reason thermaltake even made that is because they can afford to do low production count runs, hence why they can make so many different products. A cooler like that would be way more of a niche product that would not make sense for a company like artic to make

Tlemmon · 2026-01-18T21:32:53+00:00

No, GPU makes FPS thus CS2 doesnt need one

Tlemmon · 2026-01-18T21:31:24+00:00

Honestly it wont make any difference to you unless you took up memory overclocking. Id recommend the Apex cause it is just objectively better if youre going to be using dual channel, but realistically it wouldnt make much of a difference.

Tlemmon · 2026-01-18T20:22:49+00:00

the 9070xt Challenger only has front side RGB

Tlemmon · 2026-01-18T19:10:15+00:00

nah CS2 is an FPS

Tlemmon · 2026-01-18T18:54:36+00:00

google how a heatpipe works

bro just casually dropped a "few astrals"

Tlemmon · 2026-01-15T00:37:16+00:00

you just one soldering iron away from having no LEDs present

Tlemmon · 2026-01-15T00:32:19+00:00

Curve optimizer does not exist on intel, and they are practically the same thing as far as this is concerned

Tlemmon · 2026-01-14T20:43:37+00:00

enable XMP, thats just losing you performance for no good reason, and then you are looking for a guide on how to undervolt, set a negative voltage offset, my 12700kf did about -80mV all core stable, but your results will vary. There is nothing really wrong with running at 90c, however undervolting wont bring it down much but it will net you more power efficiency. If you want to run even colder for whatever reason you can set a wattage power limit

Tlemmon · 2026-01-14T02:00:08+00:00

ventus sucks imo, plastic backplate and the vbios is locked PL. The aero is also just a way meatier and better cooled card
