Crating the Cheese

I wanted to upgrade my previous build (in Fractal Design Define Compact), and what bugged me the most case-wise is that glass panel revealing tons of empty wasted space inside. SFF case it is then. At first, I planned for NCASE M3, but then I saw this bootleg Mac Pro case. MCPRUE Apollo S is an abso

Grater M3 + 9800X3D + 5080

Hey there,

Just wanted to share the build I finished this week. Before switching my components into the M3 Grater, I was using the M2 Grater. I actually changed the case solely because I wanted a better CPU cooler than the Thermalright Peerless Assassin Mini. Don't get me wrong, the PA120 Mini is a

New PC with Noctua

As in the title I came from a 7700k build to a 9800x3D. The fans feel incredible. Even not tech people think they look outstanding.

Intake: 3x NF-A12x25 PWM Out: 1x NF-A14 PWM + 1x

Specs:

  • 9800X3D with a NH-D15 G2 LBC
  • MSI RTX 3070 To Suprim x ( from a previous build, will change that to... someth

2025 Lian Li x Noctua A3 build

Really loving this new build except for the poor cable management this case has. My previous one is great but I wanted something small and this checks all the boxes. I love the Fractal North cases but I wanted something a bit smaller. Running it with a less conventional fan airflow layout. This thin

Best Air Coolers for 9950x3D & 9800x3D? (Help finishing new build)

Hey Everyone,

Not a big fan of AiO's - mostly because the reason I had to make a new PC was due to a AiO leak :/... I got really lucky with being able to casually walk in and get parts.

Can someone please recommend the top 3 choices for the 9950x3d & 9800x3d?

Current New Build is:
CPU: AMD Ryze

Complete noob planning my first PC build. The goal is comfortable 4K gaming on a Samsung Odyssey Neo G7

At 4K, you're focusing too much on the parts that won't actually matter, and not enough on those that do. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Having a 9800X3D myself, I can definitely vouch for it. But at 4K, it's really overkill for the purpose. I'd drop this down to a 7800X3D. Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WiFi or MS

Ist das ein Guter Gaming Pc?

Die Crucial P3 benutzt QLC-Flash und ist veraltet und überteuert. Besser Biwin NV7400, Adata Legend 900, oder WD Blue SN5000; aber die Kington KC3000 gibt es gerade im Angebot. Von dem NH-D15 gibt es eine neuere Version. Es gibt RAM-Riegel mit besseren Preisen. Wenn du RGB willst, ist selbst Corsair

Silent PC recommendations

You are heavily overpaying on the cooling components. Noctua are not worth the heavy premium when less expensive alternatives will cool as well for far less cost. Noise from fans is often more a function of speed and also other variables, like distance to case panels and components. So just paying a

5070ti + Intel 270k build full parts list £2150

Isn't a liquid cooler more hassle? Air coolers seem really easy, you just put them in and that's it. I haven't really looked into liquid coolers, but they seem more complicated and I read about how, after a few years, you have to replace the pump or something. ngl yes. That said, most AIOs are curre

Please check my silence oriented build (>2500€)

I swapped the CPU for a 7500X3D since it's a lot cheaper than the 7800X3D but still gets you the 3D v-cache, and as a little bonus it produces a lot less heat which matters a lot in your case. For the CPU cooler, since you want minimal noise I would advise going Noctua. For thermal paste, Noctua inc
