About Ready To Build A New Machine

An improvement with the RAM. $200 on an AIO is insane. You'd get better cooling out of a fan setup.

10850K would have been a far better deal, just -100 MHz but also -100$

If you are going to OC, you are better off with a liquid cooled system. The case will have 9 fans total.

That's why I went that way. Works like a champ. OC'd the old PC on air using a high end Zalmann (remember them?) cooler. That one's still running too. AIO wasn't available back in the day. Thought I'd give it a shot. So far so good. Even tho as a plumber you'd think I'd be perfectly OK going to a full on water cooled setup. I just... Can't! That whole water and electricity thing. Eventually I'll get over it and go there.

I did not say it was easy...... I am just really busy right now.

All up and loading my software.... MSFS2020 Premium, Red Dead II Ultimate, Adobe Cloud with full subscription, pictures, Videos I was working on...

Sent 2 sets of 3 pack lights back (Corsair LL) and 2 sets of QL coming. I am not overclocking it right now so the three fans on the rad should be ok for a few days.

How does it push AH?

Did you order your vr headset yet?

If not you are wasting that horsepower.

AH doesn't even make it warm up.

Runs Red Dead Redemption 2 online on Ultra, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on Ultra smooth as silk.

Well there goes the crappy cpu excuse

Yeah my rig runs AH in VR (RiftS) pegged at 80FPS in all situations with all settings except environmental on high. Post lighting off, just don't like any of the effects. It'll dip into the low 50s in IL2 with a lot of clouds and stuff blowing up or on fire. There I have mods for the clouds and effects that are more better than stock and that's the price. But that's a different animal graphically from AH.
