@Jwheel86 if you want to go air-cooled, the Be Quiet Dark Pro 5 seems to be a good choice, currently $80 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Cooling-Immensely-high-Performance-BK036/dp/B0CJY3DYQ3/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3CF3YN53GF1N2&keywords=be%2Bquiet%2Bdark%2Brock%2Bpro%2B5&qid=1702393914&sprefix=be%2Bquiet%2Bda%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-2&th=1
Aesthetically I prefer the 240mm AIO, especially the Corsair as they tend to have the best RGB. But if you don't care about that it looks like the Dark Rock Pro 5 while in it's quiet mode should only be about 10% higher thermals-wise from a decent 240mm AIO with a 13700k:

Can you hear that? No? I didn’t think so.The Elite version is another good option, but it's about $35 more than the current sale price of the Pro 5.
I leaning towards the NZXT cooler, mostly for the stupid display. The Corsair case seems to only have one fan, should I get more?

Hamas/Palestinians could have done anything with that money, instead they built tunnels and bombs. How do you ceasefire with that? At least in Mexico when they pay off the cartels they stop killing people so Americans make influencer videos from San Miguel de Allende.
It would also give the world permission to go back to ignoring the conflict for another decade.

I assume you prefer an Intel build over AMD:
I changed the CPU to a 13700k as there’s a barely 1-2% difference vs the 14700k (sometimes even less) and you might as well save the price difference to put into other parts. I changed the motherboard to a better z790 (if you want to stick with ASUS swap to the Asus Z790 Prime for $20ish more), changed the RAM to significantly faster DDR5 (and you’ll have pretty lights!) which will also make a noticeable difference with this CPU (12th gen didn’t have much difference vs DDR4, 13th gen showed a nice improvement iirc), and swapped to a significantly faster video card (RTX 4070). I also removed Windows assuming you can reuse your current key, otherwise add $20-25 if you purchase from Woot.
It’s a little less than $50 more without Windows ($70-75 if you need a new Windows key) and should be a more-than-worth the $50 step up from the original build posted. You could also consider going AMD with a 7800x3D for a similar price.EDIT: updated the build to a cheaper but roughly-as-good m.2 SSD: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VPKzh3
Now the price is down to $1664.42 without Windows, less than $20 more than the original build.
Idiot question. I noticed a lot of motherboards have a heat spreader over the M.2 slots. Do you take the heat sink off the drive or use both?

Yea, that’d be a big upgrade, but is there any reason you’re going with DDR4? Also, do you have a microcenter nearby?I completely check out of PC hardware once I buy a PC so I just slapped that list together.

Is a liquid cooler needed? I don't plan to OC anything.
8 hours ago, cusideabelincoln said:And concerning his old PC:
IF you don't hear gurgling noises or any other weird noises coming from the water pump, I bet the thermal paste has just dried out too much which is causing more heat to build up. And this is an easy fix to keep the system running for whatever reason (sell it off, backup). edit: But if new paste doesn't fix the issue, and everything sounds fine, then there's probably gunk build-up inside which means replacement time (not an easy fix to do yourself, if at all possible).
Are any of those temps concerning? I don't notice a big difference when it revs down.

My current PC is a i7 7700k, 16gb RAM, 980ti. I use it for work (remote into a Windows 365 vm), YouTube, and games along the lines of Oxygen Not Included and Stellaris. Recent the H100 cooler has been revving up really load under load and I'm concerned it's about to die on me.
Thinking along these lines:

I'm just curious. Does Israel actually need aid? Compared to the Gaza Strip, Israel has a huge economy that would support their war efforts. I would understand giving them aid if they were actually attacked by their surrounding countries but we are talking about an oppressed small stretch of people they could have literally bulldozed at any moment over the last several decades.
I only ask since aid to Israel and aid to Ukraine seems to have different priorities in congress yet Israel certainly has the upper hand and has had it for a long long time.
Mobilization of the reserves is a big deal in Israel. Calling up 300,000 is the equivalent of the US calling up 11 million troops over the weekend and removing them from the economy for 2 months and counting. It's mostly an economic problem for them, US military aid means domestic funds can be shifted to offset mobilization costs and US funds can used to fund their US military imports (155mm shells, F-35, Iron Dome).

That definitely appears to be a false report at this point.
Yeah, definitely weird. Dispatch put out a BOLO to Fire and then one of the units reported an officer down at a different location. Last word they said it was a barricaded suspect situation.

Egypt occupies Gaza, Jordan occupies the West Bank under a UN mandate to build Palestinian governance capability and the Palestinian economy, Saudi Arabia pays for it. There is your peace plan.

Sure, but budgets to pay for healthcare are real and the choices are pay for a preventable condition or that rare disease treatment for a newborn. That's a choice that more and more is going to have to be made as super expensive low population treatments become more available.
A Dilemma for Governments: How to Pay for Million-Dollar Therapies - The New York Times
WWW.NYTIMES.COM
A wave of transformative but hugely expensive treatments is challenging the budgets of health systems in wealthy nations. Now countries with far fewer resources are wrestling with how to cover the therapies.QuoteThe expenditures for Zolgensma have already gobbled up a hugely disproportionate share of resources. An analysis led by a researcher at Brazil’s drug regulator found that the court-ordered expenditures in Zolgensma’s first 14 months of availability in Brazil could have paid for more than four million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.

U.S. Navy Detains 5 After Failed Attempt to Capture Merchant Ship - USNI News
NEWS.USNI.ORG
Five people suspected of attempting to hijack a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden are in U.S. Navy custody, a defense official confirmed to USNI News on Sunday. The five had boarded and attempted to take control of the M/V Central Park, a tanker owned by an Israeli businessman, on Sunday while the ship […]QuoteBefore the pirates could take control of the ship, the crew had barricaded themselves in the tanker’s citadel, an armored panic room. Unable to seize the crew, the pirates boarded a skiff and headed toward Yemen. Guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG-87) and an unidentified Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ship responded to the incident, the defense official confirmed. The crew of Mason pursued the skiff as it headed toward Yemen with the ship’s embarked helicopter and ultimately detained the five for questioning, the official confirmed.

Just a moment...
WWW.TIMESOFISRAEL.COMQuoteMembers of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party screamed at family members of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza during a Knesset committee hearing on Monday over controversial legislation to impose the death penalty on terrorists.
Relatives of some of the approximately 240 hostages taken by Hamas terrorists on October 7 beseeched the Knesset members not to hold the hearing about the legislation, concerned that the move might have severe repercussions for their abducted relatives.
Gil Dickmann, whose cousin Carmel Gat is one of the hostages in Gaza, broke down in tears as he begged Knesset National Security Committee Chairman MK Tzvika Fogel of Otzma Yehudit and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, the Otzma Yehudit leader, not to go ahead with the hearing.
QuoteFogel said that anyone trying to hold up the bill was “representing Hamas” more than the State of Israel, while MK Almog Cohen shouted at a man whose wife and daughter are being held hostage by Hamas that he had “no mandate over pain.”
They need to call an election.
Would this be a significant upgrade?

This what I'm leaning towards, I just can't decide on a case. I really like the NZXT H6 but I don't want to have to use Cam and iCue, suggestions or alternative cases?
