Yep, I think I'm ordering that 280mm EK Nucleus dark. Forgot there's no way to turn these AIO fan lights off (in the Corsair they were hidden)
It's a lovely case to build in.
Swapped the white XPG for some kingston fury as that was catching my eye every time I walked into the house - not in a good way.
Spent a bunch of time on fan config; that rear 120 is basically fully obstructed by leather couch; off it came. Replaced the hyte 120 in the bottom with a P14, and rid myself of the led fans with a pair of P12's. Original fan config system was running into the higher 60s gaming (CPU hotspot was worst in the 72-73 range, GPU pushes 78 under heavy render loads) Now it's staying under 50.
Think I'm done now. Well maybe except for some red corners for the noctuas. Think I'll skip the AIO upgrade for now until I eventually do a 13th gen upgrade.
Not super PC literate but I have been looking to pick up a mid range gaming PC, I want to play Diablo IV and give iRacing a shot, I have come across what I think is a good deal, $800 for the following;
Case: Carbide Series SPEC-DELTA RGB Mid Tower
Processor: Ryzen™ 5 5600X
Cpu cooler: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum
Mobo: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC
Gpu: MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT MECH 2X OC 8GB
Ram: Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Ssd: WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe M.2 PCI-E 4.0 SSD, 500GB
Psu: Corsair CX Series CX750M
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Any opinions or comments would be appreciated, thanks.
honestly pretty solid for the money imo.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think if you're going to play iRacing on a single monitor, even a 1440P monitor, this PC should be plenty. If you want to use Triple Screens or VR, it likely won't be enough.

Thank you, I plan to start on a single monitor and see if I actually like it, then I can upgrade in the future.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If you decide you want to upgrade the video card, let me know how much you want to sell the old one for. I might be interested depending on the price.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I have a spare 3060 lying around if anyone wanted to buy a GPU for cheap. My old gaming computer transitioned to just running my 3d printers and laser cutter but all of that can just run on the internal GPU anyways.
Open to offers.
Edit: Whoops, 3060* not 3600

So, if I decided to do a GPU upgrade...
Would a 7900xt be reasonable-ish on a 11600kf for some 1440 gaming? Looks like I would loose 15% or so over a 12900 - assuming unknown website reviews are anywhere near accurate. Slightly CPU bottlenecked but, still way past what the performance I'm accustomed to.
MSFS doesn't seem to get along with the arc 770 (35-37fps), so thinking it might be upgrade time - while the arc 770s 16gb seem to be getting a good resale value at the moment...
12/13's are different socket so you'd be looking at a complete mobo replacement to upgrade that way. Assuming you already have the 11600 - That's ~$800 right there towards the 7900...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I would think a 11th gen unlocked i5 would be fine for decent 1400p, no?

A bit confused on that as well. CPU bottlenecked to do 1440p gaming?!

MS Flight Sim is super heavy on CPU usage. It's one of the few games that any CPU is going to get hammered.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Even on the other games - every frame your graphics card processes - is still run by the cpu first (in at least a this is what the frame will look like sense); and cpu kicks it off to the graphics card for the actual rendering.
So if you're too mismatched - cpu can't keep up with the gpu - and you get a stutter. Yeah locking framerate to match monitor probably should solve it in my case after much longer research...
So got the MSI 7900xtx since it was on sale cheaper than the 7900xt I was going to buy.
I can get 90+% GPU utilization, but yeah the CPU ends up throttling first time I've seen package temps in the 90s - and comes on quick in BF2042 and MSFS. I probably need to revisit case airflow and that cpu cooler.
But damn its definitely an improvement - although fortnite looks wierd for some reason.
