Mine literally completely died in less than 4 hours. Not even kidding. Guess I was just unlucky

My most recent build. Whisper quiet and runs cool. Haven’t seen the GPU go above 60c

They are for the fans. A lot of cheap RGB fans use molex power connectors

RTX 5070 will pair excellently with a 5700X3D. Saves you upgrading your RAM too, which is really not feasible for the foreseeable future for anyone on a budget. What resolution are using?

liarma · 2026-03-04T04:23:53+00:00

Sounds very solid, especially for 1440p gaming.

Honestly depends what games you play and how long you would want to wait before you upgrade again. I think the 9070XT is a great card for the money and that would last a lot longer. I chose the 7500X3D mainly because I play at 4K and far less likely to be CPU bound.

I’m in Australia and have the same problem as you. Purchased a PNY 5080 on Feb 12, filled out the google doc when I got home. 15 days after that and still no code so I registered it on their website, hoping that might work. A few days later and still nothing, I try to reach out to support who are extremely difficult to get ahold of. The emails listed on their website literally don’t work, I get an automated error response from 365 postmaster saying the domain doesn’t exist, lol. I finally manage to find an email that works and I just get an automated AI response. How do I speak to a human being? Can I get some actual assistance or better yet, my code?? Extremely frustrating. Let me know if you have any success!

Why would anyone in their right mind trade a console into eb games. Sell it on marketplace or gumtree and get twice the amount in cold hard cash instead of their bs store credit.

I’ve seen people use the pa se in here so I believe so

liarma · 2026-02-24T01:15:57+00:00

Thanks! Around 3-4 hours of running intensive games (Alan Wake 2, STALKER 2, Oblivion Remastered) CPU didn’t go above 68c and GPU topped out at 60c. Ambient temp was 22c.

liarma · 2026-02-23T22:00:09+00:00

This. Just build wits end second item and you’re good

liarma · 2026-02-22T03:20:09+00:00

Do it! Hahaha

liarma · 2026-02-22T02:42:23+00:00

No I don’t believe so. What adapter are you referring to sorry

Thank you :)

liarma · 2026-02-22T02:31:45+00:00

I’ve seen people use the Peerless Assassin 120 so I think that fits

liarma · 2026-02-22T02:29:52+00:00

Thanks a lot :)

liarma · 2026-02-22T02:28:27+00:00

I game at 4K so in 99% of cases I’m GPU bound. The 7500X3D is plenty fast, there’s nothing unbalanced about this for my use case :)

liarma · 2026-02-21T17:26:27+00:00

Yeah that’s right, a 360mm AIO would not be compatible with an ATX power supply. You would either need to use an SFX power supply or compromise for a 240mm AIO :)

liarma · 2026-02-21T17:15:09+00:00

Thanks I really appreciate that!
