I'm satisfied with my 3070 Ti for the past three years, but that 4080 Super and 7900 XTX been calling my name after trying out the inZOI demo last week. Hearing my CPU cooling fan cry for help was something else, but I'm already looking at a new fan. 32GB of ram is on the list, too.

Gaming on a laptop isn’t really the recommended way to do it. It presents far too many thermal issues.

If you wanted to run some basic mobile games on that, you would be fine. Or something like StarCraft.

Games like Persona 3 Reloaded can run well on decent gaming laptops

Yes build that shyt.

I was gonna get a mid tier pre built but dudes on here said I should build my own instead and I'm glad I listened. Best gaming decision of my life. You will probably end up trying out games you never thought you would fukk with and end up loving them.

So, I'm watching youtube videos, and I'm seeing on Jayz2cents saying water cooling is dying or dead:



I've been out of the loop for like 6 months. I still need to build my new PC. Things got in the way. Anyway, is water cooling dead? shyt was always a hassle to get because you had to go overseas, but I've used EK for numerous builds. I like their shyt, and they make shyt for everything. I would hate for them to go away. I guess, I can go to a smaller, boutique type store (I'd actually probably prefer that, if they have the parts). But EK was king. Now, I'm hearing they may be dying or dead. The 5090 is about to come out. I need that 5090 FE waterblock. EK would do it, for a premium, but it was good. I guess we'll see what these smaller companies do. They just better keep the same specifics as EK. I want it all to be interchangeable. If I don't have EK anymore, I don't know what I'm gonna do
