i asked about the neo g7 because it ticks a lot of boxes for me in terms of screen size refresh rate and price. from what i know models that people say are better are almost always oled but since i do a lot of stuff on my pc that might cause burn in im afraid to get one. they are also usually more expensive.

If you're in the US & concerned with OLED image retention, test out the AOC Q27G40XMN 1440p miniled (VA).
Return it if you get the bad one that can't apply the best local dimming option (Strongest) when HDR is enabled.
Best Buy should accept your return because the product is flawed.

Hello sirs

https://www.hotukdeals.com/share-deal-from-app/4628251

How is this SSD as a storage drive for the downloads folder and for nvidia instant replay (constant recording).

Is it safe to assume that a 3.1 slot GPU will make it impossible to user the fourth slot with anything?

Speaking of OLED I recently got the AW3225QF from Best Buy here in Leafland since it was on sale but didn't get BB's warranty. Does anyone here have personal experience with either Dell or BB's warranty? Wondering if BB's 4-5 years is worth the extra 300+ leaf dollars. It seems Dell's advanced exchange always sends out refurbished units to replace yours and BB will either give you a new unit or a full refund you can spend on a newer monitor down the line?

Noctua Redux fans are overpriced, they're cost-cut models of fans that were designed over 10 years ago.
If you want an all-Noctua setup I guess it's what it is.

>>105744706
I don't recommend using an SSD for GeForce Instant Replay or other similar video capture features.
A HDD is fast enough (~75 MB/s. write) to record it, especially if it's recorded on AV1.

Are the refresh rumors bullshit? Who would a 18/24gb xx70 card even be for? 12gb is enough for the forseeable future unless you worship Hardware Unboxed and 16gb will last you until the card is dogshit.

Fun fact, my desktop is actually upside down in that photo, I just flipped it over so it looked normal.

>>105744926
>Are the refresh rumors bullshit?
Kopite7Kimi's hardware leaks are very reliable.
He was the first to say the 5090 FE would have a 2-slot cooler, most people wouldn't believe that shit (including me).

>Is this just a local ai niggery card?
That's my interpretation of these rumored specs, the PC gaming hardware sales are declining.
Their growth market is in local AI hobbyists and students.

>Surely it will be basically unavailable right?
That's my guess as well, scalped & sold out.

Kopite7Kimi leaks reliable hardware specs first, guys like Moore's Law is Dead makes a video/podcast episode about it.

Do all new 9070XTs come with Samsung VRAM?

6000MT/s CL28 or the CL26 if you can find the latter.

I am on Z390 platform, PCIe 3.0, and my video card just died (2080ti). I don't really need to upgrade my PC right now, but I need a working decent video card and don't really need more performance than the 2080ti. Currently looking at 5060Ti 16GB and 9060 XT 16GB. Am I right in thinking that the 9060 would be better for a PCIe 3.0 platform because it is X16 versus the 5060ti which might be bandwidth limited at 3.0 X8?

Use thermal putty. Don't need to measure just eyeball it.

>>105745102
Technically would average out better but most games it would make literally 0 difference. The issue is exaggerated on the 8gb cards since you'll actually be exceeding vram, but then you also have to deal with 8gb on amd not being equivalent to 8gb on Nvidia.

>>105745139
I have no real sources but Sapphire is more likely to have Samsung since they produce more cards overall. They switch up chips when they run out of supply and the people making more cards are more likely to run out.

>>105745155
>but then you also have to deal with 8gb on amd not being equivalent to 8gb on Nvidia.

>>105745131
2 optical bays would be ideal, so I can use one of pic rel plus an actual optical drive

How long does that last? Doesn't it end up drying out or deforming over time?

>>105745048
Thank you! Now that we've trimmed it down, let's build it up a little bit...

I want 32-bit PhysX support. I want a GPU that runs 100W less electricity cooler than a 5090. I want something SLIM so that I can fit it into this case on a board which moves the GPU slot down to expose a PCIEx1 above it.

So, now let's (re)visit an updated version of what I was toying with before this Mini ITX board (Lian Li Dan A3 case will fit Micro ATX like this):

>>105745102
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEsSUPuvHI4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20uM4gjq5w0

There are plenty of videos on this. Based on these videos the card does seem to be affected. Some games less than others from 0% difference to a 10% difference.
The 9060 XT would not suffer any bottlenecking on PCIe 3.0 but it is a slower card overall.

>>105745175
again, are you actually using any of that shit?
just have an external card reader and disk drive for rare occasions when you actually need them
there are basically no good cases with bays these days and for a good reason
they are obsolete and get in the way of good airflow

ASRock B850 Pro-A, but you need to update the board BIOS (3.30 or higher) before you install the CPU.
ASRock has had issues with its boards killing CPUs.
If the updated BIOS completely resolves the issue, that board is fine.

>>105745120
You can buy the 2mm and slightly squish it with a rolling pin or some other instrument.
That's how Northwest Repair gets his thermal pad dimensions right (pasta maker).

>>105745139
The VRAM vendor lottery isn't the end of the world, you won't feel the difference in actual gaming.

>>105745163
NTA, but NVIDIA GPUs have more on-die cache. That's why NVIDIA cards generally have lower VRAM utilization compared to Radeon cards.
This is also why Radeon cards benefit more from SAM/Resizable-Bar, it reduces their VRAM bottleneck.

>>105745254
Yeah, you're definitely not using the legacy stuff, so unless you have a specific use-case, you're spending money for the sake of spending money.

>>105745163
Depends on what game engine/workload but usually however much vram on amd will run out faster than the same on Nvidia.
Easy to replicate example would be I think all of the big ue5 games are fine on like a 2060 super but will eventually start having issues on a 6600/7600.
It's been a difference since at least maxwell and whatever amd's equivalent was, the r9 whatever.

>>105745267
>you won't feel the difference in actual gaming.
I will hear it though. The card runs cooler overall without the VRAM trying to hit 95ºC like the Hynix chips. I see that the Samsung modules run around 80ºC so the fan RPMs can be much lower.

>>105745111
the guy is not interested in buying a used crt

>>105745116
Take a look at some of Fractal Design's offerings, mind you'll probably have to order those since they're no necessarily as popular, especially if you want to get an actual panel and not tempered glass.

>>105745283
I wasn't interested in providing useful information either, I was just shitting all over modern display technology.

>>105745278
Each card is hand built by someone else. They don't always get pads or paste right. It varies to card to card same as a lottery. You can get a Samsung chips board where someone misaligned the pads and now it's hitting 105C.

>>105745292
I forgot to add, but the Define series looks clean as fuck.

>>105745246
Did you see the $70 mobo on my other build which this build is an upgrade from? While the kid in me wants all the bells & whistles of X870E, the grownup in me knows that you only need a motherboard that's (a) rock-solid stable, and (b) enough of a mobo for your cpu & gpu to run.

I'm not overclocking. I'm not hunting single-digit percentage gains (I'm already pushing twelve cores and a flagship vidya kard). I'm not looking to *waste* electricity. I'm patient. I might even underclock it.

>note my 1000 watt psu

A kilowatt PSU.

A KILOWATT PSU IS CONSIDERED ANEMIC TODAY! Hah! Hey, this is how I see it:

Kilowatt Space Heater for $5K that also does math and makes money.

I'm stoned and really have to get going but I'm having too much of a good time ITT to leave just yet (and don't have to be in NYC for hours).

>holler at me regarding lian li dan a3 cases yo

Is this still accurate?

>>105745267
>You can buy the 2mm and slightly squish it with a rolling pin or some other instrument.
I don't know what the compressibility of these things is, I would imagine they are quite solid in order to have good conductivity.
I'm thinking I'll take the old ones and measure the thickness where they actually contact the memory modules, if it ends up being like 1mm then I think compressing a 2mm down to 1 might be a bit too much.

>>105745217
Not him but I prefer a direct card reader for my camera because using dongles is shit slow and uncouth
And having extra audio jacks has helped me with redundancy along with using external sata drivges

>>105745278
>>105745305
I don't know if it's still a thing (and probably still is) but your memory will typically be whatever was cheapest at the time of assembly.

I remember when the overclocking potential of certain cards would depend on the VRAM's manufacturer, where you were lucky to get Samsung.

In my experience though, overclocking is the equivalent of driving a hot rod to go grocery shopping, especially when modern cars are already pretty high performance as it is.

And for what? Maybe a few more FPS in certain scenarios? All while compromising system stability and/or the lifespan of a rather expensive product?

>>105745380
You can get 5-10% extra free performance depending on your luck. Undervolting automatically overclocks AMD GPUs and it's perfectly safe.

>>105745380
in the case between samsung and hynix, they run at different voltages and timings by default. thats why samsung is 2% slower out of the box but they run cooler. but you cant oc them as much as they hit the voltage ceiling compared to hynix.

>>105745358
Yes. Get an optane if you want to be blown away.

>>105745415
>samsung is 2% slower out of the box
You don't see any difference in gaming. I've only seen the performance hit in synthetic benchmarks.

>>105745365
That’s why some people advise you to choose relatively soft thermal pads.
Don’t rely too much on the conductivity ratings, there’s no uniform standard of rating it.

When possible, I typically set the lowest TDP for all my (AMD) CPU's, while enabling PBO, and I feel like I hit 90% of my processor's potential for zero work or system instability.

For GPU's, I just use whatever the quietest fan settings are because fuck fan noise.

>because fuck fan noise.
>hotspot hitting 105ºC

why do you have to specifiy country when the country is already part of the pcpartpicker link? just send the correct link?

>>105745476
It depends.
And for that matter, X3D chips typically only excel at lower resolutions, ie. CPU bottlenecks.

If you can spare the money, there's no reason NOT to get it, but otherwise that money could be better spent elsewhere.

>>105745508
Yeah, if you buy from a shitty manufacturer.

>>105745501
9070 XT is still a reasonable “value” combo for that chip.

I would un-ironically use one myself if they actually made a dual fan card that would fit into my LAN rig.

Just keep in mind the X3D's limitations, if you choose to go with that.

>>105745580
>>Otherwise FSR(3) still isn't as good as DLSS3/4
FSR4 is pretty much equal to DLSS CNN

>>105745580
>Only get cards with 16GB or more VRAM for AMD
Fixed

>>105745559
There won’t be a 9080 XT, chip development is very costly and AMD is not going to release a larger Navi 4X GPU as a mid gen release card.
There’s a workstation Radeon card that’s using the 9070XT’s Navi48 GPU with 32GB VRAM.

>>105745616
First time I've heard the term CNN being used.

Mind giving me the quick and dirty?

>>105745609

THANK YOU BASED HOLY SAVIOURS NVIDIA

>>105745624
you dont need more than 16gb. anything that requires more wont run good no matter how much you have anyway

>>105745637
Nvidia has a new Transformer model that makes the image super sharp, at the cost of more performance.

>>105745661
It's barely a performance hit though. Like 5% performance hit even on a 2 gen old Ampere card. Half that for the latest gen.

>>105745661

>>105745685
>Is it actually being supported/adopted?
Everyone's Nvidia's bitch, ofcourse it's being adopted. Either by their own choice of by Nvidia paying them big money.

The new model oversharpens the image too much, I think.

>>105745654
>You don't need more than 16GB
Now, and at lower resolutions.

12GB is a good sweet spot for maybe 1440p, but 8GB is already feeling it's age.

>>105745719
how come a model thats supposed to reconstruct a high resolution frame from a low resolution frame oversharpens the frame?

>>105745691
Even Turing cards can handle the new transformer model @ playable FPS.
None of the RTX 20 cards are strong enough to run high enough RT settings where Ray Reconstruction has to be enabled.

>>105745723
Nevermind, I thought you were emphasizing 8GB and not 16GB.

4K might push the envelope, but you're fine if you temper your expectations and/or use upscaling.

I find it unbelievable how Nvidia is _always_ one step ahead of AMD. It's going to take 3-4 years before we see an equivalent tech from AMD.

>>105744938
>but you are not afraid of having a vastly inferior display instead?
i just feel like its worth worrying about since a large portion of my screen time includes static ui elements which are the things that tend to cause burn in. I've heard that dark mode can help prevent burn in but it doesnt do so completely. apparently some level of burn in on oleds is inevitable at least according to posts ive seen.

>>105745781
OLED burn in is inevitable, the way you use it will affect how quickly it happens (static content, high brightness, etc).
Expect 4-5 years of peak condition of the OLED panel.
I think I’ll be able to stretch mine to 5-7 years, by that time I’ll be wanting a better display.
Display tech is advancing at a steady pace.

>>105745637
DLSS upscaling used to work on the Convolutional Neural Network model. Now it works on the Transformer model.
Benefits: on average it leads to better image quality especially during motion, and allegedly the T model has a much higher ceiling than the CNN model and can theoretically get way better.
Negatives: the DLSS-T algorithm is a bit harder to run depending on how old your GPU is: for an RTX5000 card the T model runs barely any worse than the CNN model, for an RTX2000 card it's a considerable cost to the point where DLSS-T Performance runs like DLSS-CNN Quality.

Before you do anything drastic, what are your options?

Last thing you want is to return your card for an even worse card.

>>105746270
This too. You could resolve any temp issues by adding or rearranging fans.

>>105746262
Gigabyte is one of the few makes that use vapour chamber BUT they use shit tier thermal paste instead of PTM. If you're unlucky you could get a card hitting the same hotspot temperatures as the cheaper "entry model" 9070XTs.

>>105746282

>>105746270
>>105746280
P400A, exactly with these fans.
My options are the Gigabyte Gaming OC, the ASUS Prime (one month...) or the Sapphire Pulse
I know the Pulse is the obvious choice BUT i'm using an extra M.2 SSD on the 4th slot of my motherboard with an adapter because my dumbass me from 2020 bought a B450 instead of a X470 so I only have one M.2 slot. The Pulse being 3.1 slot 61.6mm, I'd have to remove it.

>>105746313
No because vapor chambers have a liquid in them. Where most heatsinks are hollow. You can create your own Venn diagram.

>>105746282
Choosing one card over another because it uses a specific thermal compound.

I'm not going to discredit PTM, but then again, not all phase-change stuff is the same. For that matter, do any manufacturers use liquid metal, or is that too much of a liability?

>>105746113
>slash vram usage by 20%

You can find people on the internet with the AORUS hitting 94ºC on the hotspot, while others can do 80ºC. It's a huge difference that shouldn't exist with a vapor chamber, imo.

I used to like Sapphire, and then I had one bum card from them, and then never really bothered considering them since.
I'm still wary of Gigabyte since they can't seem to nail down one good design, and will come out with constant revisions.
And then Asus card typically are louder.

Again, look up formal reviews for each card model. If you can multiple from the same site, even better, since that will allow you to compare apples to apples as far as testing methodology and results.

It's not terribly hard to do, but keep the original chip just in case you need to RMA the motherboard.

I prefer Gsync, but that's just me. Freesync has come a long way and is much cheaper, but either technology has its advantages and disadvantages.

I did a study with Tom's Hardware in conjunction with Newegg back in the day, and they're nearly identical, where there was rampant brand-bias.
>https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-freesync-versus-nvidia-g-sync-reader-event,4246.html

>>105746452
I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure 'adaptive sync' is just a general term for the technology.

>>105746516
gsync is largely a windows meme. its broken as shit everywhere else. freesync works perfectly everywhere. freebsd, linux, windows, mac, etc.

I would go for the Prime, not an ASUS shill but they usually put enough effort to avoid appearing as the cheap/budget brand.
ASUS Dual cards were the better base MSRP models for the 4060 & 4070/Super.

Avoid Gigabyte cards that advertise the thermal gel "feature", it's just their way of cost-cutting. And there are QC issues.

Whats the general thoughts on Mini led va panels? I've recently come into the market again for another monitor after some unfortunate mistakes on my behalf, the AOC Q27G3XMN is 388 here and there is an Acer Nitro XV275U at another shop for 320 cad.

>>105747023
The black smearing is there for the Q27G3XMN but not as bad as VA panels used to be. You have to judge for yourself for these monitors.
AOC released a new 27" 1440p miniLED VA monitor with 1,152 local dimming zones (Q27G40XMN).
But there is some firmware lottery involved (bad one can't apply the best local dimming option [Strongest] when HDR is enabled).

I would take that gamble if it's available in CA and if you have the energy to deal with returns/refund in the worst case.

Is getting a 5070 worth it if I'm still stuck on a 1080ti or should I keep waiting?

>>105747887
Supplies for the new cards will only get worse.
NVIDIA is taking away some GeForce production capacity to make more AI chips they can legally sell to Chinese clients.

If you think you can get one of those RTX 50 Super cards at a reasonable price, maybe it's worth waiting.
No one can tell you the right answer.

What are the parts I should NOT buy off amazon.ca? Do they still have problems with scammers binning fakes and returns into new product chains?

I, taken by a bout of insanity, decided to buy a 14900kf while it was 30% off.

Now I am wondering what motherboard to put it in that does not thermally throttle it? Also what memory speeds work best with it?

>>105748036
It's the same as for all amazon's, don't buy sought after shit if you don't want the risk of having to fight them over it and having to film when you open the package and all kinds of shit, delaying your build for decades, example x3d cpus, gpus, "high" end ssds like 990 pro etc.

>>105748119
Even if I'm buying on "ships from amazon.ca; sold by amazon.ca" and not a third party seller? The horror stories apply to their own supply?

>>105748155
anything shipped by amazon ends up as mixed stock

>>105748078
Get a nice fucking liquid cooler for that chip as well.
Make sure you update the board BIOS to the one with the latest microcode (0x12F)before you install the CPU & memory modules.

>Now I am wondering what motherboard to put it in
Z790 AORUS ELITE AX (WiFi6E) or its WiFi7 variant is the feature/value board I'd get atm.

>Also what memory speeds work best with it
Compatibility mostly depends on the quality of the CPU's integrated memory controller (IMC).
But I encourage you to be positive and get a 7200MT/s kit if you're building an i9 system.

Have fun tuning the CPU, because it's going to draw a lot of power and heat at the stock CPU settings.

>>105748178
Btw, the 2x24GB memory option is less stressful to the memory controller compared to 2x16GB.
If you're worried about the CPU being able to run that speed & timing, get the 2x24GB kit.

>>105748036
just avoid GPUs everyone else should be fine so long as shipped and sold by amazon

Check the driver download section of the product page, they are Windows 10 compatible (except for WiFi7).

I am the biggest computer retard ever and my knowledge is limited to playing vidya. I want to know your advice to the specs and pic related, my computer that my cousin built for me 3 years ago. It runs well but my brother has almost the same as mine and he had problem with the CPU, it overheated

Here are the specs:

>Motherboard: ROG Strix B550-F Gaming wifi
>Monitor: Asus VG27A
>Power supply: Rosewill 850w 80plus bronze
>Case: Fractal Design Focus G Mid-Tower ATX with 2 front fans, no fans at the rear
>GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 msi
>CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X 12-Core processor
>RAM: 2x16GB Kingston DIMM DDR4 2667MT/S
>Storage: 1TB SSD kingston SA2000M81000G
>Heat sink CPU: Not sure but seems to be generic AMD Wraith air cooler

Anything wrong with it? I'd like to add a 2 or 4TB memory because I want to get into gamedev using UE5/blender, maybe change the heatsink and add a rear exhaust fan

Also, what kind of maintenance/optimization do I need to do? I just gently air spray it outside to remove dust but what else? I'm afraid to play in the settings/guts of the computer as I am a total noob. Do I need to tinker with the BIOS? Do I need to defrag my memory? Do I need to play in the settings of windows/nvidia? I just want it to last a long time, keep it cool and quiet. I don't know where to look for basic computering 101 :(

>>105748467
i already checked
the wifi 7 thing is the dealbreaker, why would i buy a expensive wifi chip that i cannot use?

>>105748467
>>105748478
oh nevermind, thats a different motherboard
same issue though

>>105747509
No, that is the case with ASRock Nova, but MSI explicitly say that you can only install Windows 11 on their MPG X870E EDGE TI WIFI.

>>105748477
>Anything wrong with it?
AMD stock CPU cooler will probably thermal throttle a 5900X.
You can buy an affordable dual-tower cooler like the Peerless Assasin V3.

Memory speed is underwhelming, is that without XMP/DOCP enabled?
Download HWInfo and show us the system summary
https://www.hwinfo.com/
3200MT/s CL16 or 3600MT/s CL18 is the recommended XMP/DOCP (easy automatic overclock) option.

>Also, what kind of maintenance/optimization do I need to do?
I wouldn't mess with the BIOS, cleaning out the dust is nice.

>>105748492
now what do you think would actually happen if you tried to install windows 10 or linux on it

>>105748448
better hope it wont fry your cpu

>>105748566
why would it do that? i trust asrock

>>105748478
You would buy it if you don't intend/want/need to use the onboard Wifi. And all other boards with Wifi 7 have the same problem: there is no Windows 10 driver for it.

you guys ever notice how AMD invented AMD64?

>>105748576
yeah but why would i buy something i dont use? thats kinda dumb

>>105748448
But they don't provide a WiFi7 driver for Windows 10. No manufacturer does.

>>105748602
yes thats because its wifi6e. my isp doesnt have more than 100mb anyway

>>105748522
I heard that the Phantom spirit evo runs even cooler and there's even a Pearless assassin 140 so which one would be better?

>memory speed
I have no idea, I just command prompt to see what kind of RAM sticks I have. Is my computer enough for gamedev like UE5 and blender? Can I add a 4TB storage? I know ram sticks should be the same, I was wondering if it's the same thing for storage like can I add a 4TB or do I need to stick with a 1TB?

can someone help me fix my gpu? it wont appear in device manager. i think it might be broken

>>105748574
I'm guessing this is a genuine question.
https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-goes-on-record-confirms-ryzen-cpu-failures-are-linked-to-bios-settings-offers-warranty-support

ASRock rep that spoke to GN Steve wasn't completely sure their BIOS update resolves the issue either.
>We found that our original values for these two settings might have been too high.
>So now, with BIOS version 3.25, we lowered the PBO values. We believe this can solve the problem.
>We believe this can solve the problem.

Rep gave himself a bit of wiggle room.

>>105748621
this doesnt actually happen though. its all the same shit from china anyway, the only difference is the values. so i will just change the values myself

>>105748607
Peerless Assassin 140 would probably be the best out of the three.
>Is my computer enough for gamedev like UE5 and blender?
I think it's good enough. 12 core Zen 3 CPU and the 3080 is still decent.
You might be bottlenecked by the 10GB VRAM of the 3080, but don't buy a new video card until you run into this problem.

>Can I add a 4TB storage?
Yes you can. Check the storage section of the official spec sheets.

>>105748595
You will always buy something you don't use because the motherboards are packed with more or less meaningful features. Maybe it's 2 of the DIMM slots or the PCIe 3.0x1 slot or the TPM chip or something else. A WiFi module is cheap and happens to be included, you might as well buy a WiFi PCIe card for small money like 15 bucks if you want WiFi with Windows 10.

>>105748663
ok true. thats why im buying wifi 6e though. its the best that has windows 10 support, so i dont have to buy extra to use it, and if i ever need more bandwidth on linux i can buy an adapter or whatever

>>105748631
Hey man, I like ASRock boards too.
I'd love to recommend the B850 Pro-A WiFi, B850 Livemixer, and the X870E Nova without all the disclaimers.

It was the first time they admitted a mistake of their own (too high PBO values) and that's why I believe they fixed it. Everything works stable and within normal parameters here. And I don't change any settings in the AMD submenu of the BIOS that should be redundant but maybe stack to result in fatal values.

If it's because you want Win 10 I did the research on it a couple of weeks ago. Basically the list was something like this:

1. Asus TUF Gaming B650/B650M-Plus WiFi
2. MSI MAG B650M Mortar WiFi/MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI
3. Gigabyte B650M/B650M Aorus Elite AX. This one is trickier since they have like 10 different versions and some work and some don't.

I had to do deep research for this, not only did I visit the motherboards manufacturers sites and checked the drivers, I crosschecked it with, check this, Reddit and some boards which said they had drivers for Win 10 Wifi/Bluetooth didn't, like the Asus Tuf Gaming B850/B850M

The boards that have Wifi 6 should be safe, but needs to be crosschecked anyways. I've debated if I should just suck it up and go with a B850M to get that pcie 5.0 16x but I just can't give upp to the devils at microsoft and use win 11.

>>105749022

Ask me how i know you are a retarded dumb cunt

Would this layout work well? I feel like if I put the AIO on the top its going to really limit the hot air trying to get out of the case and the warm air of the GPU is just going to go through the AIO.

>>105749585
don't use an intake on the rear unless it's dust filtered

>>105749585
thats one of the dumbest setups i've ever seen in my life anon. Put the AIO on the top, have the fans on the bottom EXHAUST air, not intake, and make the rear fan exhaust aswell. The GPU will be blowing air down and the bottom fans will assist sucking that air out, the rear exhaust fan is to keep moving air away from the VRMs + capacitors around the cpu.

>>105746886
TWU

>>105749901
>The GPU will be blowing air down and the bottom fans will assist sucking that air out

What are you talking about? Do you mean with a sideways video card mount? Unless your video card has reversible fans or you've DIY'd it to be reverse, video cards blow off the sides of the card, the back, or a hole in the backplate on the nose of the card. If you do a downdraft case flow with a normal card it's just going recirculate.

There's no much difference between intake on top or bottom with magnetic dust filters.

Also we should be asking this guy what this computer is for, does he do production work loads with CPU or GPU? Does he do production and does it matter at all? If it's a themed case that's not going to throttle either way it should just be what looks best or cleans the easiest.
