Building First Computer for Content Creation - Feedback Welcome

Hello Razer Community, Hoping to get some feedback from some folks who may be willing to help and share their input on something. Specifically, I'm looking to upgrade my current system, and will be using my new NZXT H510 Compact Mid-Tower ATX Case I received from a recent giveaway! I've been planning this for a while now, and have had some input from other folks throughout. I'm just about ready to pull the proverbial trigger, so to speak, but thought I'd get some input from you folks! First and foremost, this will be used for content creation (gaming, streaming, videos, etc). I'm looking to essentially upgrade my current system, which is an HP Pavilion 500-189. Recently, I received an NZXT H510 Mid-Tower ATX Case free (minus duties) from a giveaway, and so am looking to use that. One thing that seems to come up regularly from others is the case. Many cite the fact it has poor airflow, and recommend I go for a different case - frankly, my current system, when the side is on, has very li

Should i upgrade my cpu?

I recently bought a Dell XPS 8940 desktop that came with: a 3060 TI, 16 gigs of 3,200 MHz ram, and an 11th gen Intel Core i7-11700. What I am thinking is if my CPU's is bottlenecking; should I upgrade it; should I get more fans and what else should I do?

Mini-ITX RAZER case question: HDD mounting

Does this case have a HDD mounting? Perhaps above the SFX powersupply?

[GPU_TALK!] End of the line for Kepler series GPU~~~

Just like how Microsoft no longer provide patches and security updates for old Windows OSs, that time has come for one of the GPU architecture from NVIDIA. The Kepler series Click the following link to get more information~~~ Nvidia officially ends driver support for Kepler GPUs, Windows 7 & 8 | TechSpot Briefly; battlestations that are running on Windows with the Kepler series GPU will no longer receive the following updates from NVIDIA Performance patches Graphics optimizations But the cards will receive critical security updates for next 3 years, but what is a GPU that does not deliver best gaming performance and optimizations? By setting your gaming to low quality and resolution settings, you can still enjoy the games on the Kepler series. I would advise to upgrade!!

[GPU_TALK!] 1080 TI; 5 year old legend still stands~~~

We all want that excellent / high performing battlestation; although RTX 3080 TI is now released, the shortage of GPUs still goes on, thanks to scalpers who continue to purchase from Best Buy and Micro Centers and resell them at such ridiculous prices in Ebay. In North America continent, nvidia RTX 3080 TI FE retail price is $1199.99 USD. Don't support the scalpers. They are the enemies to all gamers that seek GPU marketing justice. If you are thinking of an alternative solution, GTX 1080 TI could be an answer and for many years to come. GTX 1080 TI may lack the following features~~ Ray tracing (check out what games support Ray tracing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_ray_tracing_support Deep Learning Super Sampling (check out what games support DLSS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DLSS_support Benchmark comparison to some of nvidia and radeon series But the card still has the potential to play all the latest games and for many years to come.

[GPU_TALK!] Closing the gap between the board and heatsink~~~

What you see is a GPU heatsink and GPU board (heat source). In one of my GPU_TALK! thread, I have discussed it is important to get the correct thermal pad size and close the gap between the heat source and heat sink. Leaving a gap does not help with cooling down the heat from the GPU. Thermal conductivity of heat transfer will be incomplete. Other thing that can cause a gap, are GPU screws that is used to enclose the chassis. The important lesson is, you must align the screw holes properly before screwing in the screws. If the screw holes are not aligned properly, you might not be able to enclose the chassis. Miss-aligned screw holes and attempting to force the screws in; it will push the other side of the board, eventually creating a gap between the heat source and the heatsink. I noticed that my GPU heat sensor was at 87 degrees Celsius when I play games. I found this odd, since I just replaced both my thermal paste and thermal pad. I did recall, I was trying to force screw in 2 of t

[GPU_TALK!] Worth losing warranty for better results?

We hear stories the pre-applied thermal paste and thermal pad on GPUs are horrible. Horrible as in "quality" It sure is horrible~~~ The GPU you see above is my recently purchased new GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 TI. Making custom changes like water cooling, thermal paste and pad can be risky, because your warranty on the card becomes nullified. So I ask, would you risk losing your GPU warranty to apply better thermal paste and pad on your GPU? Aftermath, the readings on GPU temperature against the clock work improved. Low temperature against fast clock work on GPU I am thinking a thermal paste and pad can cost about $40 - $60 USD (depending on the brand and its quality)

The Build I'm Using Before I Have a Razer One

I've got a plan going for a new PC build that revolves around the Razer Tomahawk ITX case and the Raptor 27 144Hz monitor. I'm not into AAA titles or huge new releases, since I don't really have much time during the week to play games, especially not competitively, so I won't need much graphical power or any RTX type stuff for it, as the only game I own that would take advantage of anything that powerful is Borderlands 3. Anyways, here's the build I've been using for almost a year now: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X AMD Radeon Sapphire PULSE RX 5600 XT Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Corsair RM 550x PSU ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS AMD AM4 motherboard w/ Wi-Fi 6 Corsair Force Series MP600 1TB Gen4 PCIe X4 NVMe M.2 SSD DIYPC DIY-F2-W White SPCC Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case (with WAY too many stickers!) (don't ask me what the case fans are, I don't even know, I just know there's two Noctua 120mm ones in it) and as for peripherals, Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Wired (

[BATTLESTATION BUILD!] Second hand GPUs; things to watch out for~~~

When buying a second hand GPU, be sure to test it using benchmark software and observe the GPU internal attributes using MSI Afterburner Certain things to watch out for during heavy load~~~ Temperature of GPU Stable or fluctuating core clock Release date of the GPU To maintain the GPU architecture from burning up, a thermal paste and heat sink is used. The thermal paste and its chemical compound expires after 2 - 3 years (depends on what the GPU was used for), so be sure to check the status of the thermal paste within the GPU. Update with my new but second hand NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI FE 11 GB, I have noticed an unusual behavior of temperature spike and fluctuating core clock. First I thought it was due to limited thermal throttling, it turns out the pre-applied thermal paste compound has become petrified, solid and expired. After purchasing few new tools and GPU cleaning products, the GPU is running like new again and even better. Isopropyl Alcohol Screwdrivers Thermal paste spreader (some
