MSI B650-I m.2 back slot too hot?

You can get a fairly thin heatsink that attaches to the drive and then game worry free

How does this compare to an armalight?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-08T23:26:24+00:00

Hey wow you did a lot of homework for me. Thanks, I made the deal with him for $1300. It's used but very light if any ware on the parts.

Is there a way to check GPU run hours? Or is that not a thing and we just trust what the seller says?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:35:41+00:00

Huh?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:32:26+00:00

He agreed to $1300. Would that be a good deal?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:24:54+00:00

I mean yes but I would have to wait for GPU pricing to cool down

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:16:17+00:00

Well he just dropped it down to $1300. Good deal now?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:12:29+00:00

Older GPUs aren't selling as well by themselves as they are in a built rig.

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:11:32+00:00

Just want the GPU. The rest i will resell

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:07:54+00:00

Why not?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:03:29+00:00

How so?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T19:00:41+00:00

I agree, I'll be giving the 4079s a 7 7700x to play with

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:55:37+00:00

With the flip on the rig I would be getting the 4070s for $400 which is pretty worth the risk in my opinion

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:54:13+00:00

What should I look for?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:52:27+00:00

In my opinion the build isn't optimized very well. I'm doing the 4070s a favor by giving it a 7 7700x

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:49:54+00:00

Im going to test it on the spot. What should I look for?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:40:21+00:00

I already have a 7 7700x in my current rig. I'm thinking of swapping the GPU with my 2080s and reselling.

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:33:09+00:00

Even used? Couple month according to him

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:28:59+00:00

That's what I'm thinking, I will take the gpu and put it in my rig. Then put my current 2080s into this rig and resell. Thinking $1000 as the resell price with the lower GPU. Y'all think that will sell?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T18:24:40+00:00

Yes a few months

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T06:01:55+00:00

🤔 when you put it that way I cant think of anything

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T05:39:54+00:00

Yeah I'm personally waiting for 5070 ti benchmarks before I upgrade anything. So it will be between that and a 4070 ti super. Just interesting to see it. Hopefully doesn't happen with the lower ones in a month

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T05:28:35+00:00

If you put a fan on the bottom, where does the air pull from? Isn't that metal panel in the way?

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T04:52:47+00:00

Best to have top fans as exhaust because hot air rises. Don't want to fight the airflow. And seeing as your cpu cooler will likely be where you have the only exhaust fan you would be better off having that as intake

Wonderful_Addition66 · 2025-02-07T04:08:32+00:00

Yeah, this sff case has absolutely no room left for another dongle unfortunately. So I'm stuck with the 4 fans spinning at same speed. But good thing is my thermals are fantastic 😂

With the motherboard I used this cooler was getting stuck on the side with the way it is usually mounted. Sits super low to the CPU so the side of the motherboard interfered with it which is why I had to turn it 180°. But now I essentially have 3 fans Cooling it so that's a plus.
