>Buy Arctic Freezer II 420 because 420 mm radiators were supposedly supported on the Meshify 2
>it doesn't fit
Guess I'm sucking up the restocking fee. Can I get any recommendations for a 280mm AIO for the case, probably with a smaller reservoir as well?

>>it doesn't fit
Drill some new holes?

>were supposedly supported on the Meshify 2
It fits in the Meshify 2 XL.

best 32"+ IPS monitor (not gaming)

It seems to be a RAM/motherboard clearance issue (I can't get the 420 laying on the top of the case to screw it in since it's being blocked when I try), so I don't think that will be possible for me.

yeah the arctic radiator is slightly thicker than other aios. mines almost didn't fit in my case as a front mounted radiator due to my gpu being too long.

I think corsair and lian li rads are equivalent in performance and slimmer but the arctic is quieter and has that 50% gimmick 50% not vrm fan.

Can you mount it outside the case?

>5800X3D is 9% faster than the 5800X in multithreaded performance
nice

What’s a top of the line PC from 2002-2004 look like, spec wise? I want to build a period correct system for old games

You people make me sick.

>he isn't autism

loses to overclocked 5800x

a socket 428 Pentium 4

yeah but at least it doesn't lose to a stock 5800x, if it really does match/beat the 12900k in games then it will be a good choice for streamers

personally I don't think it will. maybe in fringe case games like warhammer and emulators the 5800x3d will be superior. but in most cases $450 is a tough pill to swallow when a overclocked 5700x can probably get you close enough.

Should my lower thighs (near the leg armpit) rest on the chair? They're always raised up on my current one, whether my knees are at a sharp 90° angle, or slightly bent.

Weird that it's supposedly faster in multicore but slower in single core. Seems like the cache somehow helps the multithreading efficiency or the bench is simply wrong

What's the performance gap of 3070 and 3060 ti. Apparently the gap for 3060 and 3060 is 15 or 20%

5-10% or so? 3060ti is basically a 3070 and good value

They should.

60ti is a cut down 70 die (GA104) - the 60 is an entirely seperate die (GA106). That's why the perf difference from the 60 to the 60ti is very substantial.

I'm guessing the 3D L3 cache is acting as extra infinity cache

Why not check for yourself
Make sure you understand percentages
45% to 60% != 15% better
techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-3050-gaming-x/31.html
3060 Ti is around 30% better than a 3060

No

>No
why?

yes the chair seat should touch the back of your knees with knees bent at 90 degrees, feet flat on the floor

reposting a Q from /hsg/ you guys might know better. any recommendations for a power-efficient "normal" gpu with these specs:
>2x displayport output
>1x hdmi output would be nice
>supports 2k resolution at 144 Hz
>either gsync or freesync
>315mm max (smaller is better)
>compatible with lga2011 socket / c602 chipset
>lower power is always better
>ideally no "gamer" branding
>linux drivers
i'm gpu-curious for light use but have never owned a gfx card before, so the stuff about 1080 Ti vs radeon rtx 9000 is all foreign to me. thx
