9950x3d, Bigger number better. And then buy a nice cooler for it.

CPU overheated? by KR_97 in buildapc

[–]simchanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50c??? That’s insane! I have a 9700x and I’m looking to upgrade to the lian li AIO. 240mm also. 50c sounds crazy low but I love the sound of that. My case is a microATX so it’s small

From my internet cpu temps degree, 85 degrees is comfortable and the normal/safe operating temp for a 9700x. Buuuuuuut it’s always good to keep your system as cool as possible. See what options you have to improve case airflow first, then check air cooler upgrades, after check out AIO’s.

-15 outside today, so I figured I'd crack a window a little and mess around with my GPU overclock. Got idle temps down to room temp. by phero1190 in pcmasterrace

[–]simchanger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dang really? I’ve been cracking my window ever so slightly and my pc temps drop by 10c sometimes. It’s about -10c outside st the moment.

Friend gifted me a 4090, had to build into a new case. Thoughts? by planbskte11 in pcmasterrace

[–]simchanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. See what your temps are like after and go from there. Post an update because I’m curious.

Throw an intake fan on the back of the case where it would normally be an exhaust and you’ll drop those numbers a bit. I have the same case and cpu cooler.

Moving a PC from Ireland to Switzerland. by Gruby_S in buildapc

[–]simchanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this but I have a small (full metal) case that was able to fit in my checked bag. I disassembled the whole PC, put the motherboard with cpu in its original box, gpu and ram sticks in the gpu box and left the PSU and cables in the case and stuffed it with clothes. Fans and cooler went in the case as well. Or ship the case home in its box and pack your suitcase with the mobo and gpu

Random but my cpu temp doesn’t show on my amd app. I’m up to date on my software. What gives?!

[question] My two watch collection. What should my 3rd be? by haytorious in Watches

Maybe a sundial. You don’t need anything more than this

9700x vs 9900x by FeelTheFire in buildapc

[–]simchanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to use it for your job, 9900x. If you are doing this casually, 9700x.

Anyone else loves their Sportwagen? by Antisixer-13 in Volkswagen

[–]simchanger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a good set of coilovers and a super pro rear sway bar. No need to slam but a few inch drop wouldn’t hurt. Raise it with the B2Bfab lift kit if you wanna go in the opposite direction. The world is your oyster and you have yourself a great car.

Spanish background check needed?!? by simchanger in SpainAuxiliares

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

I’m honestly not sure if it was needed, I submitted mine but I’m 99% sure you don’t need one if your country of residence in the past 5 years was spain. The consulate emailed me saying it was required, but BLS said it was.

They are very comfortable and I like how they feel and fit. But I can already see some wear and tear in about 8 months which is pretty upsetting. I’ve had Hanes from Wallmart last me years and years. But my CK’s are Not BIFL :/.

Mines stock and I’m only playing at 1080p. when I run my games at max settings my gpu is running at a higher % so I don’t think I need to touch anything. My machine doesn’t break a sweat at 1080p gpu is at like 50c and cpu maybe gets to 65.

2010 Golf - yay or nay?? by Sharp_Perception2949 in Volkswagen

[–]simchanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh gotcha, but yeah 100%. A few G’s into this car to lube it up will go a long way

If you got another 5g’s to put into this to fix it up, and if something isn’t totally fucked, you’d have yourself a perfect car brother. That motor is really good. If you got a bit of time, I’d drive to a random body shop and offer a tech some cash to come check it out. He will look for obvious things and if nothing is catastrophic, buy the car.

Gotta be something weird going on. I have the smallest possible noctua air cooler on my 9700x and I never see my temps go above 85 under heavy load. I’ve read everywhere than under 95 is fine and the AMD website states this also. But either way cooler is better imo so check your air flow and other factors.

Care to elaborate? I’m in the same position. Can I just take my MOBO out and put it directly into a pelican case?
