    I merged all your threads. We don't need a new post for every thought you have in your head. Knock it off.

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Ok so that CPU under gaming should be in the 72C range tops if your cooling is good, your GPU should also max out around 71C, above that temp reduces its ability to boost. Your SSD tops around 70C, its preferable to below that, but if your SSD is running that hot, the rest of your components...

    I don't think we ever got the actual hardware specs of your system. Depending what components you're using changes what temp range you need to keep them in. Let me know.

    pc racing

    How much do you have? You can do it for under $1k, you can do it for $100k. Your best bet is to figure out a budget and work from there. Example: You can do a Logitech G923 for $350, and a Next level racing F-GT Lite for $300. Thats about as cheap as it gets. It does the job. Check the...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Just log temps and see if anything is getting overly hot. If its not you're fine, and it sounds like its not. MSI Afterburner provides great logging features through Rivatuner Statistics Server.

    Should i Get a DOS os gaming laptop?? HELP

    Where are you getting this laptop from? DOS hasn't been produced in over 20 years, the best you'd get out of it would be a command prompt running it off a USB maybe, it wouldn't install, it wouldn't even see your drives. Are they offering it with Linux maybe? It works but you can't game on...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Your example is completely and totally irrelevant to a fan in a case or a fan on a radiator. A heatsink on a board or a chip does not pass air through it like a radiator does. Yes how most boxed CPU coolers work is downdraft style to blow down on to the heatsink which pushes the heat outward...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Negative pressure is a viable cooling solution. If you look at my gaming system it is negative pressure, and in fact MANY pieces of network hardware, UPS batteries, prebuilt computers, Audio hardware, are all negative pressure, they have one fan blowing heat OUT of the casing. The only cooling...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    There are blower style coolers on some GPUs they look like this: As you can see air is sucked in the back, and forced over the components and out the back panel of the PC. Loud and noisy but works, until you overclock. Then its not efficient enough.

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Thats not true. Most automotive radiator fans are on the inside and they are pulling outside air through the radiator. Its VERY rare to have a fan on the front side of the radiator blowing through, and a fan blowing on to the radiator would contradict the natural airflow while driving. But...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    There is no way to reverse fan direction, fans are specifically designed to spin in one direction. You're over estimating the temperature of the air and blowing on specific components vs the flow of the air. The flow of the air is more important than the temperature. Every one of your ideas...

    Where to mount my water cooler?

    Don't fight natural convection. Heat naturally rises. You want to pull air in from the front/bottom and out from the top/rear. Theres 2 ways to mount this, either mounting the cooler to the front of the case pulling air IN through it, having a second fan on the bottom also pulling air in, and...

    Question Weekend Question: Have you ever been a dirty dang cheat in a game?

    Never actively cheated in an online game however back in the day was playing Diablo online (as in the original game) and someone I was playing with was like "here take all this gold and armor" and just started dumping tons of gold and rare armor and weapons in front of me. I was naive and...
