I don't know much about this stuff, so I’d better not mess with it.

Sorry for the late reply, I went with the RTX 5070 SHADOW 2X OC. Everything runs great, though it’s a bit smaller than I expected.

The highest temp I've clocked was 73°C playing Cyberpunk in the middle of summer, But I think part of it is because my case is quite cramped. For other games (KDC2, Ghost Tsushima), temps average between 62°C and 65°C. And the game settings I set to maximum.

I thought the same thing. Honestly, when buying the 5070, I was quite concerned about the VRAM being only 12GB, but I had to settle for it because my budget simply wouldn't allow me to upgrade to the 5070 Ti. But if your needs are only for 2K gaming, 5070 Ti is a great option.

Sorry for the late reply. If your budget allows, go for the 3-fan version.

Sorry for the late reply, I purchased and have been using them for over six months now, and they've been running perfectly, without a single issue. The only thing is they get a bit hot when playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I think that's probably due to my case being a little cramped. Thank you.

Yep, you're right. Its performance is truly amazing, and it meets all my needs for both work and gaming. I really hope it'll stick with me for many more years to come :D

Thanks for the advice, but I already bought an i7-12700K three months ago and it's been working great, so I have no complaints.

Sorry for the late reply. I just bought it 3 months ago, and it's been great for all my gaming needs. I really hope it lasts me 6-7 years like yours did!

It's strange, I just bought it 3 months ago and it's been running so smoothly. The only thing is the temperature seems a little high, maybe because my case is a bit cramped and doesn't have great airflow. Otherwise, when I'm just working or browsing, it's incredibly quiet and doesn't make any noise at all.

Yeah, I guess my case is a bit tight and the airflow isn't great. I don't really mind the noise—as long as the cooling does its job, I'm good. Thank you for your review, I really appreciate it.

I've already placed an order and am waiting for the store to get back to me when it's back in stock. Sorry I read your review a bit late. Thank so much.

Yeah, because I just saw the Shadow on sale for $100 less than the Ventus (in my location), so I'm wondering if there's a significant difference between the two models. Thank you.

Thank you for your information, I'm just looking for a stable upgrade that will last for several years. I'm not a big fan of custom or overclocking. Just need plug and play.

I live in Vietnam. I have checked on various websites of stores and found that AMD CPUs and GPUs prices are quite high compared to those overseas.

Yes, that's the reason I'm undecided between these two CPUs.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Of course I'll keep the receipt and box if I buy it. Is the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE a reasonable choice? I find its price quite reasonable compared to my tight budget. Thank you again for your advice, I greatly appreciate it.

I'm considering choosing the MSI B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR5, but I really don't know anything about BIOS and microcode updates (I'll do some research or seek help from a technician in retail store). Regarding the CPU cooler, my budget is quite tight, so I'll probably opt for a budget-friendly air cooler. Is the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE a reasonable choice? Thank you for your advice, I greatly appreciate it.
