Yeah, it doesn't have intake fans, so you wouldn't accumulate as much dust inside. With modern cases, good cable management, circulation, and filters help limit the dust though.

Karan Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Yeah that makes sense. Although you would still need case fans to provide cool air to the GPU cooler and then exhaust out the hot air. This is assuming @Keirik you get a 14700K CPU with a water cooler. Water cooling for a GPU would be overkill IMO, unless you're planning to majorly overclock the thing. The RTX 4090 is already such a beast though, and the air cooling solutions offered by most of nVidia's partners nowadays are so effective.

Sharpshooter Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I have a 3080 in mine and very impressed with how well it cools. Of course I have a couple of big fans on top that really help, but still. Very impressed with the power and performance of these GPU. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm going to do this, I don't see why I'd care about saving a small amount. one things I did notice that I've seen the 13 th gen processor still be a bit more expensive than the newer 14th Feb. is that normal or maybe I looked quickly and didn't notice. Surprised to hear this as 13th gens are selling for over $100 cheaper than the 14th "gen" counterparts. I say "gen" because as you can see from that video I just posted, the 14th "gen" is just a mid-cycle refresh of the 13th gen, at best. It's not a new gen or architecture at all. It's just a desperate attempt by Intel to keep up with AMD's latest offerings, particularly the 7800X3D which is the best gaming CPU at the moment. So while they actually release their new architecture, they called this minor update the 14th gen in an effort to keep investors happy and the consumers spending their money lol So save your money and get the 13th equivalent if you find them in stock.

Sharpshooter Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The game looked pretty bad from the get-go, but holy shit what a disaster. The released the game in that state, and then just became another company overnight or something. lol What is it with all the garbage getting released? This game, Gollum, Redfall, that King King one. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal. part of the problem i think are all these early access games and No Man's Sky type games of the world that either release a beta publicly for a discount or just a game not completed yet with the idea of them adding to it over time to correct past mistakes or shallow games.

It's definitely been a thing. But even games like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk weren't this bad at launch compared to the likes of Redfall and The Day Before. I don't think the latter two should have even released, period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
