Any new word on a release date for Intel Arc GPUs?

who cares its going to be dead on arrival anyways

3090ti will never come out. 4xxx series will be out before they fix the cooling issues with the higher memory speeds

im currently running a i7 4770k with a gtx 1070 and am playing on a 1080p 144hz panel. wanna upgrade my cpu etc since i can slowly start to feel how my cpu is holding back my gpu (elden ring wont stay at >50fps for example) and this is what im planning to get. want this to last atleast another 4 years or so except maybe upgrading graphics card and getting nvme storage (for this build i will just take my old storage which is 250gb ssd and 1tb hdd). any suggestions?

its fine
personally, i would opt for the non-f 12400, the igpu is a nice insurance to have, and not too pricey
also, im not fond of the dark rock pro.
imo swap it with a scuthe fuma 2 or better yet a noctua u12s (ideally not the redux version, unless the savings are very significant)

Should I upgrade my 2600 since I have a RX 6800 at 3440x1440p or is it a waste of money? I have an 6800k lying around as a server if that’s any better

What the fuck do I do now, /pcbg/

what are your reasons for disliking the dark rock pro? if i swap the cpu to the non-f and get one of those two coolers u listed price would be up by around 50€ and id like to stay closer to 600 as good as i can

also i mistyped it myself but its a pure rock 2 not a dark rock pro

the dark rock is as large and as expensive as the nh-d15, and not as good
also, at that price, AIOs beat the shit out of both of them for performance, while also being much easier to work with/around

the pure rock 2 is also kinda shit. iirc its hardly better than the good amd included coolers
the ones i recommended are definitely much better for not that much more money

press the button on PSU

really, are there good aios at that price? last time i was looking into pc building (probably like 1-2 years ago) i feel like aios were way more expensive for same performance but just looked better and are silent. but i feel like anything too big is just overkill for the i5 12400

I did. It's not turning on. What steps should I try to take to fix this?

the the price of the dark rock pro, yes (around 100 shekels)
at the price of the pure rock, no, i wouldn't buy any if i found them at that price :D

Whichever is cheaper. That being, a WD black against a SG barracuda.
Or maybe just go with WD blue and its seagate equivalent considering that HDD performance is irrelevant.

I think I'll just take it into some store and see if they can fix it. I'm too new to figure this shit out.

When I turn on the power supplt nd hit the onswitch there's a slight surge in the light source in my room, like it normally does when I switch my PC on, so I know power is switching on, but it isn't doing anything.
No lights, not fan spin ups.

Do a PSU paperclip test. I did it for the first back when I was 13. Really hard to fuck it up unless you do something stupid like touching the clip while its running (youd probably die)

What exatly is that?

where the fuck is Intels shit
