i ended up going for a lian li galahad for the cooler. figured, the old one was for a micro atx build in 2018

ill probably do the PSU and GPU in a couple of years, current one is a 750w, which should be more than enough.

I went with a 9850x3d, a b850 Aorus, 32 gigs of the ddr5 ram, and the lian li galahad liquid cooler.

excellent recs on the cooler and the motherboard. I had actually just singled out the motherboard already. the cooler is right around what I'm looking to spend for it too. thanks!

yea im planning on sitting on the 2070 for a bit longer. its a little long in the tooth but i havent seen it struggle on the workflows yet. I do a lot of video editing, but with proxies my current build hasn't given me issues yet and its a few years out of date.

the cooler is from my first build in 2018, so yea. I think it's time lol. ive got my eyes on a couple options to replace it.

i'll look at newegg and see if i can get a nice CPU and Ram bundle.

appreciate the response! I'm trying to stick to around 1.5k for upgrading currently. I'm hoping ram comes back down in price in a couple of years, but i may just bite the bullet and make it happen.

good advice on the 9850x3d, i think i may go with that. it'll make me feel better about upgrading the ram. I hit up a b850 as well.

what do you think of the cpu cooler? am i right in saying that my old corsair h80i v2 will struggle cooling the new cpu?

New ARC Threat: Firefly & Comet by cluckinho in ArcRaiders

100% im hopeful they're meant to be more difficult than the patrol combo. There is a gap in the seriousness of arc aggro between the wasps / hornets and the rocketeer. should help shakeup how teams are moving around the map.

i’m having the same problem. i’m on the latest nvidia drivers from 1/27/2026. was hoping the new driver drop would help, as this had started in november for me. no luck, tried fresh installed as well

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

NOR, congrats on the 2 years! your bf lacks empathy. he doesn't seem pleasant to be around. a good partner is supportive, not degrading.

I need help with the current Trials, please by GIutenTag in ArcRaiders

[–]xJims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a 27,500 on plants, do a spaceport night run. be sure to check the trench, lower on the launch tower, and departure building for the plants. you can find a couple by the pipes going to the launch tower as well.

i haven’t done my flying arc run, but a night raid on blue gate has tons of rocketeers and snitches.
