    Out of the 3 options they have for 3/8" ID tubing if just using barbs and not compressions, that seems to be the thickest wall.
  2. Sir Beregond
    This? 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD x 1/8" Wall Tygon® A-60-G Industrial Grade Tubing | U.S. Plastic Corp. WWW.USPLASTIC.COM This tubing outperforms neoprene, EPDM, and other general-purpose tubing. It has a wide range of applications such as gaskets, abrasion-r...

    Precisely. Now, I've never had anything other than a drug test prior to starting employment anywhere, but I'd just rather not tempt fate.
  4. Sir Beregond
    Totally understand E, and we thank you for keeping it ad free for as long as you did. But gotta pay the bills somehow.
  5. Sir Beregond
    LOL! Well I do live in Colorado, but I do not partake. I'm too paranoid about "hey random drug test!" at work, so I'd rather play it safe. May be legal in state, but companies don't like it.

    If it's just for gaming, 8-core is plenty. I only opted for the 5900X due to deal and to spread out the heat. Also looked like maybe it had higher boosts?
  7. Sir Beregond
    Very nice job Kyle. I'm still writing mine. I tend to write in spurts in between bouts of writers block I am noticing.
  8. Sir Beregond
    I'm in no rush. Will properly drive my 1440p display for it's first time for a bit and maybe look at that next year come bonus time.
  9. Sir Beregond
    Nope.
  10. Sir Beregond
    Yep, fully agree with this. My point was more around the idea that Zen 4 was not launching with 3d-cache, and frankly that made sense to me seeing how 5800X3D was. Zen 4 is going to 1MB L2 per core, so they are definitely increasing regular cache.
  11. Sir Beregond
    Yeah, I don't think many, including myself, know/knew how many more pixels even just going from 1080p to 1440p translates to. It was an eye opener for sure. I agree that is the goal for now. I am also hoping that in the next year or two they make some smaller 4k OLEDs I can use as a monitor. Really liked the LG C1 I looked at at Best Buy a few weeks ago, but even 48" was just too much in my opinion. At least for my use. But it's definitely where I want to get to!
  12. Sir Beregond
    Eh 3d cache seemed like a one off to me then a feature in all products, at least as it is right now.
  13. Sir Beregond
    It's funny how much resolution changes things. I upgraded from a 1080p to a 1440p monitor in 2019 and suddenly I wasn't happy with my 4790k/GTX 980, while on 1080p it was still perfectly fine performance wise. Though should be noted I wasn't always playing the latest and greatest. But once I upgraded to 1440p, there were suddenly situations where I couldn't effectively run certain games at the setting I wanted, or even at all.
  14. Sir Beregond
    Wait, so this is all core boost? Very impressive.
  15. Sir Beregond
    Yeah do have to admit that was a great facepalm moment.
  16. Sir Beregond
    Thanks, will definitely pick this up down the road, next time it's on sale. Have some stuff already waiting for me to finish the new rig.
  17. Sir Beregond
    Yeah if I was full time using a filter, I'd get something similar to this. I only used the fuel filter during Blitz Part 2 and subsequent distilled water flushing runs.
  18. Sir Beregond
    Does your source for cable combs have any for the Nvidia 12-pin? Finding my 12-pin to dual 8-pins adapter a bit unwieldy with regards to the individual cables.
  19. Sir Beregond
    Yeah was toying with that idea or maybe a 45 degree angle in there as well. Going to maybe try a few pieces and see what I like. The one issue I am running into is the tight run from the bottom rad to the pump return. I may get another fitting so I can run a small straight tube there. Trying to run a very tight 90 bend in that tubing hasn't been working well.
  20. Sir Beregond
    Admit it, I think you are a glutton for punishment with the reddit-esque threads on OCN @Outsider.
  21. Sir Beregond
    Pretty good game? Been thinking of picking up.
  22. Sir Beregond
    Nice, yeah I notice many go from the bottom up, which I guess is an option, but not typically how my loops have been. So to be clear on loop order: Res/Pump -> CPU block -> 360GTX (top rad) -> GPU block -> flow/temp meter -> 360GTS (bottom rad) -> back to res/pump. I've typically always ran my loops in a top down order. Is there a good reason to switch it? Didn't think it really mattered.
  23. Sir Beregond
    Been a while, had a little time this weekend to practice some more multi bend tubes. I managed to get the CPU block to top radiator run done. Now I am contemplating the best way to do a tubing run from the reservoir to the CPU block. Any ideas?
  24. Sir Beregond
    Oh goodie, more price/performance stagnation!
  25. Sir Beregond
    Yeah, we'd get boxes of basic Lenovo keyboards as our stocked equipment and I would do the same. Time to chuck and replace.
