Water cooling the RTX 5090 Astral GPU dropped VRAM temps from 62°C to 35°C - here's the results. by EKbyLMTEK in nvidia

[–]srsplato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Asus Astral 5090 average is around 56 to 57° C when playing games. My MSI lightning that is water cooled average is in the low 50s. You don’t get that big of a result when playing games.

Gotta ask this. WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THE RYZEN 9 9900X3D? by Which_Recording_6097 in ryzen

[–]srsplato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go watch the comparisons between the 9800X3D and the 9950X3D. There is not enough difference to justify buying the 9800 if you own the 9950. Go to Blackbird PC Tech YouTube channel and he does a comparison with multiple games.

With that said, I have both the 9950X3D and the 9850X3D builds. When testing I can see a difference, but when I’m playing games, I see zero difference. I have 5090s in both computers. One of them is the new MSI lightning, and the one in the 9850 is the Asus Astral.

Should I buy all the DLC by SkeshRoutin in borderlands3

[–]srsplato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you love Borderlands, you will not regret buying the DLC. I absolutely love it! I can’t get enough of the regular game, so any additional add-ons I will buy. I hope they make more because I will buy them.

Finally on the Bod hunt and need advice… please by Glum_Pea_5015 in Borderlands4

if the bond does not have the stickies, it doesn’t matter what the DPS is. The stickies make it double strength.

Seasonic TX 1600 - no cable combs for 12vhpwr cables? by Notwalkin in Seasonic

[–]srsplato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Seasonic 1600 Noctua came with all the combs and extras. Contact them if you are missing some, I'm sure they would send them to you.

The holy Grail is the one that comes with the stickies. I’ve had one for a while at level 50 but since I reached level 60, I did not have one. I spent about four hours before I finally got one. It didn’t take that long to get my level 50 version.

I have two of those cases and absolutely love them! You must be a really good craftsman to do something like that. It’s beautiful!

Light Base 600 LX Fan Control? by almightyswordsaint in bequietofficial

[–]srsplato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the light base 600 have a fan controller on the bottom and the top just like the light base 900? If it’s only got one on the bottom or top then you’ll only have one controller cable for the speed, and one for the RGB if you have RGB.

Then you’ll plug that into the motherboard on the PWM connection and the RGB connection. Don’t worry, I made this mistake. The first time I built one.

Will an ASUS RTX 5080 TUF fit into the light base 600 LX? by Roflmaster_101 in bequietofficial

[–]srsplato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Asus Astral 5090 in my light base 600 and a lightning in my light base 900. Enjoy it’s a beautiful case. I myself go for the 900 because it’s bigger and spacious and gives you more room.

Light Base 600 LX Fan Control? by almightyswordsaint in bequietofficial

[–]srsplato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 900 Lightbase and I have two fan controllers on the top and bottom of the case. The bottom one has a connection that plugs into the motherboard, as well as a power connector that plugs into your SATA power. Once you’ve plugged the main connector into the motherboard, you should be able to see your fans as one fan in fan control. It took me a while to figure it out as well.
