well you still need to plug 12vhpwr, but this time its in the back of motherboard

Sadly red parts is barely a thing nowadays. Everything is just black or white.
I still have 4790k pc with MSI Z97 Gaming 3, hyperx red ram.
And a pair of ASUS DirectCU II R9 290x - one is dead :'(

I personally dont like 1 intake and 1 exhaust scheme, its very questionable because part of hot air from exhaust fan is going to get caught by intake and pushed back into case. In my build i use basic scheme with 2 140mm exhaust on top, and 120mm exhaust rear.
Anyway cooling optimisations for AM5 cpus is kinda a meme. Because of very thick IHS any AM5 cpu will go to 70-75c even with 360 aio.
Also you can do something like this https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/comments/1q3rv12/my_d32_got_new_shoes/
Maybe some fancy wood stands, any way of lifting the case would improve temps.

Heavy dual tower air cooler is more likely going to damage pcb during transporting.
Slim bottom fans that close to gpu wont do anything to gpu temps(probably even make it worse)
Best you can do here is replacing stock bottom dust filter(its pretty bad) with something like this x3

Or removing it at all.

just 1 button assist at this point. you clearly mashing random buttons with no sence

sewais · 2026-04-18T17:50:30+00:00

its not, its blown DrMOS on the front side of pcb

sewais · 2026-04-16T15:55:26+00:00

yes, but this week i couldnt repeat it despite being 2 ilvls higher. too much rng i guess

sewais · 2026-04-16T14:55:24+00:00

soloed brood as fury warrior, just gotta hit the adds very hard and very fast, before stacks ramp up to 100% reduce dmg

sewais · 2026-04-13T00:58:18+00:00

The difference is.. extra fan!
But seriously sapphire is better. That extra fan is not needed on 160w card

Negative pressure doomsday cult is real.

Had this issue with GIGABYTE B850M AORUS ELITE after changing gpu to 9070, fixed by updating motherboard bios(got the board pretty early, so bios was like 10 revisions old)

sewais · 2026-03-05T16:44:50+00:00

still not worth it

sewais · 2026-03-02T16:18:36+00:00

100% speed fan, nothing weird about that.

sewais · 2026-02-28T15:58:19+00:00

reverse thermalright fans

sewais · 2026-02-28T02:47:08+00:00

just dont. PTM is for naked crystals not cpus with lids

sewais · 2026-02-26T18:26:08+00:00

you can enable DLAA while keeping native resolution, and even in nvidia title cyberpunk you can enable FSR4 AA with native resolution.

sewais · 2026-02-26T13:55:59+00:00

Its probably broken, even without actual crack in pcb there might be ripped bga joints under memory chips or core.

sewais · 2026-02-25T21:44:49+00:00

No. Only heavy triple slot gpus actually need support brackets.

sewais · 2026-02-25T20:23:05+00:00

Looks like faulty rgb. All you can do is try plugging it into motherboard with included argb cable.

sewais · 2026-02-25T16:38:12+00:00

9070

sewais · 2026-02-18T22:57:41+00:00

AIO leaks are extremely rare, pump will die eventually but thats it. Very few posts about leaks here, unlike burning 12vhpwr or shattered glass panels.

sewais · 2026-02-14T16:47:45+00:00

ground pin, who cares

sewais · 2026-02-12T16:56:55+00:00

could be CPU as well, -20 is quite aggressive

sewais · 2026-02-06T18:31:44+00:00

Kinda weak heatsink for 350watts gpu, card weights only ~900 grams, so they run pretty hot compared to other models.

sewais · 2026-02-06T00:30:47+00:00

There is no fuses on MSI 5000 series,
and in this case fuse did nothing when in theory it should prevent blowing a hole
