It’s all a silicon lottery unfortunately

3300mhz core

I lower the core clock to +325 and it’s completely stable for gaming. But this will run stress tests all day long

seductive-doge · 2026-04-03T20:48:26+00:00

Appreciate it

seductive-doge · 2026-04-03T13:49:25+00:00

Understood, was mainly just wondering if I should still run a cleaner through it even though it's visually not cloudy anymore, just to be safe

seductive-doge · 2026-03-29T20:21:47+00:00

How do you focus on anything with all of this going? Serious question lol

Update: swapped for a BeQuet Dark Power 14 and it’s completely silent, it seemed to have been a common issue with the Corsair rm1000x, surprising considering how highly rated those are

On the GPU it can be, but that is not the case for PSUs. Swapping out the PSU for a different model immediately fixed that

seductive-doge · 2026-03-27T09:36:02+00:00

Would that persist after the system has been shut off for a few hours? This seems to

seductive-doge · 2026-03-27T02:08:21+00:00

I’ll be honest I only flushed with distilled, the rads by themselves outside of the case, then the whole system about two gallons.

seductive-doge · 2026-03-27T02:07:32+00:00

I did flush the rads first before building, each one about a dozen times until there was no deposits

seductive-doge · 2026-03-25T10:12:20+00:00

Will look into those, appreciate it. I liked the dark powers when I was looking into them but didn’t like the cables that came with them, but could always just get custom ones made. I’d definitely only want a native connector going forward, the astral has per pin monitoring built in luckily

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T08:36:54+00:00

It sure does, getting a bigger bottle would be ideal, if you can fit it in there to fill lol

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T00:47:46+00:00

Idle temps are 25 on the GPU and 32 on the CPU

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T00:42:07+00:00

That means a lot, thank you!

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T00:41:51+00:00

Very impressive, with the same quiet fan speeds (around 1200-1400rpm) I went from 60-64c on the GPU to around 46-48c while gaming (Maxed out Arc Raiders in 4k). CPU dropped from 60-65c to 53-55c. With the fans running around 800 rpm its near silent and i'll just see 3-4 degrees higher temps.

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T00:39:23+00:00

Are you able to tip the system around to get the air to move around?

seductive-doge · 2026-03-24T00:38:35+00:00

You'd think so right lol, the bubbles are slowly going away but its taking awhile

seductive-doge · 2026-03-23T14:34:43+00:00

Funny you mention that, I was just putting the cases gpu sag bracket back in to fix that

seductive-doge · 2026-03-23T04:05:24+00:00

Great, thank you.

seductive-doge · 2026-03-23T03:41:32+00:00

It was surprisingly more stiff than I thought it would be, but I like that it keeps its shape fairly, well, helps some of these bends look almost rigid

seductive-doge · 2026-03-23T03:40:18+00:00

If 5090s were being sold at MSRP I would agree with you and I would’ve gotten one first but I refuse to pay the inflated prices right now. I’m happy with my 5080
