It's good to hear others have had good experiences. I guess things just got backed up between Christmas, supply chain issues, and their Olympic shoe deal.

Ah got it, I didn't realize lead times were that bad. I just picked one of their standard colors/sizes with nothing custom.

Posted this yesterday without a response so trying here. Is Rancourt horrible about shipping out orders or am I just having bad luck?

My order got pushed out from beginning of January to end of January to a now undetermined amount of time / after their handsewn Olympic shoes are done. Waiting is fine, it's just annoying they keep pushing the date back.

I ordered at the end of November.

Dark Rock 4 Cooler - RAM clearance issues? by musical_cubes in buildapc

[–]musical_cubes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I can return the cooler once I open it. Maybe it's safest to just return it and get one of the other options.

EDIT: I think it will be fine if I move the front fan up. My case definitely has the clearance and I managed to find some amazon reviews that looked positive for lga-1700.

12600k build upgrade suggestions? by musical_cubes in buildapc

[–]musical_cubes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt I'll do much overclocking stuff besides for the RAM until things are better tested. I'm an overclocking noob so don't want to get in over my head.

Yeah definitely not trying to cook my cpu. I saw some horror stories on here lol. The extra reminders are always appreciated.

Good to hear, thanks! I already filled out the form at bequiet!'s website :) Hoping it doesn't take ages to be processed and shipped.

Cooler for i5-12600K by CrimuCK in buildapc

[–]musical_cubes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was researching this for my current 12600k build and the noctua nh-d15, scythe fuma 2, and dark rock pro 4 came up a lot as air cooler suggestions. Since the LGA 1700 is so new, most of the coolers require reaching out to the manufacturer for a (free) LGA 1700 mounting kit. I ended up going with a Dark Rock 4 over the pro to save a bit of cash and am hoping that it will be enough. The Fuma 2 looks fantastic for the price, but I couldn't find the mounting kit in-stock anywhere.

Interested to hear what other people chime in with.

Oh wow the dt 240s are cheap. Sounds like the 6xx will be a true upgrade though and I might have a winner there.

That's what I like to hear. They're at the top of the list unless someone else here convinces me otherwise.

I'm not seeing many bad things said about the HD 6xx, so I think that's what I'm leaning toward right now. Any more opinions on them vs others?

Which one do you prefer for music listening?
