    Arctic Freeze II 420 AIO & Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2

    Hello. Considering the Arctic 420 which I use is larger than the Arctic 360mm, and you can see my Arctic 420 mounted in the Dark Base case, I'd say yes. Dimension for both products 360 : 398 x 120 x 38 mm 420 : 458 x 138 x 38 mm

    Asus ROG X570 Crosshair Dark Hero Release? *** NO Competitor Talk ***

    It's all messed up, squire. I spoke to another e-tailer today who has 40 coming in next month (with over 100+ preorders waiting). 40 folks are going to be happy. I am not one of them. E-tailer said no idea when next order is due after that. Basically, Asus are either not making enough, or they...

    Over the years...many PSU cables

    Thank you folks and especially thank you Decto. Would folks agree that my link shows the correct way to power my Asus Dark Hero with my Corsair AS1200i for Connectors A and B ? (Ignore C marked on the mobo, I know that is for the 24pin ATX) One thing of note that threw me...Asus say that a...

    Over the years...many PSU cables

    Thank you. I probably didn't make it very clear. I have a big box of PSU cables. Some of them *may* be from the AX1200i, which I didn't use. They are all mixed up with other manufacturer's power cables. I was just trying to work out how to identify the AX1200i ones. I had a look at the Corsair...

    Over the years...many PSU cables

    Evening folks, If you've accumulated quite a lot of PSU cables over the years and kept them, and chucked them all in a box, is there a way to tell which cable set goes with which PSU you may have kicking around ? As I cannot get a 1000W PSU for my new AMD build (5900X), I decided to grab an...

    Where are the 1000W PSUS? In fact PSUs in general right now

    As far as I am aware, the issues with supply are due to port problems. The far-eastern factories (eg China) are making the stuff fine, it's being shipped fine, but there are container issues at ports. (Non-EU stuff isn't having customs issues either), so it's got to be down to the ports I...

    Arctic Freeze II 420 AIO & Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2

    Hello. Well, when I finally get my motherboard (last part of my build), I will be doing a temp test with fans in Pull and also Push/Pull. What would be a fair and equitable way to test this to get meaningful results I wonder ? I will have a temp probe wire in the case itself, and can take a...

    Arctic Freeze II 420 AIO & Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2

    Hello Ross, Ah I know what you mean now. Mount the radiator on the outside or opposite side. I had a look and I think it's going to be very hard to mount a 420 on the opposite side because, if the radiator sat that side, then the fans on front of the radiator would prevent the case front from...

    Arctic Freeze II 420 AIO & Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2

    Photo 1 shows the whole assembly mounted in the Front. (Yes, I know the fans are on the wrong side for pushing air in. They have been moved to the other side of the rad now.

    Arctic Freeze II 420 AIO & Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev.2

    I haven't no, but I manually rotated the fan and the centre motor section was impeded by the shroud. Photo 2 shows where it makes contact in the middle. It's ok, I'll either source a 140x140x15 (a brief look found nothing however), or I'll just remove the shroud entirely.

    Asus ROG X570 Crosshair Dark Hero Release? *** NO Competitor Talk ***

    Thank you Anthos. That is very interesting indeed. It does seem counter-intuitive though at the 4000MHz speeds he was getting less performance. That does seem very strange doesn't it ?

    Asus ROG X570 Crosshair Dark Hero Release? *** NO Competitor Talk ***

    Hello Anthos and thank you for your comment. I'm not in to Cinebench scores personally. However, neither do I want to leave potential performance on the table. Put it another way...my average fps in Cyberpunk 2077 is currently 0 fps. Why ? Because I am building a whole new machine from...

    AMD : 5950X : Overclocking & Asus Dark Hero

    Morning folks, Der8auer did a YouTube video called "Overclocking AMD Ryzen just became INSANE". For those of you who understand overclocking a lot more than I do, and are Dark Hero owners and perhaps watched this video, I think I noticed something odd in his BIOS settings with his RAM. He...
