Thank you! I already have AIO and won't be going full custom loop. Motivation to lap is not to achieve huge gains overall but to reduce hottest cores / core-to-core variance. Information I've come across indicates lapping of 10980XE didn't reduce coolest core any further but hottest ones dropped...

If you have lapped heatsink on your i9-10920X / i9-10900X how much of temperature drop you got, please? Also, which tool you would recommend for heatsink lapping to someone that is completely inexperienced and clumsy like me?

I’m trying to find out what temperatures you get, please, when running Prime95 small set with at Intel’s all core turbo (all cores at 4.3 GHz) and AVX offsets of 5 (which puts AVX instructions at 3.8 GHz)? And have you lapped heatsink to get that temperature or that was stock CPU? We do not...

I’ve been trying to benchmark memory on my new build that I am hoping somebody will help me with. I have EVGA X299 Dark with i9-10900X and I am trying to populate 4 memory slots with Corsair 3000 MHz CL15 32GB DIMMs...

I will as soon as I do it :) Right now I am dealing with one issue with my current NVMe, more on that in separate thread soon ...

Thank you again!

I think I will go for Evo+. I’m planning on putting two of them in Win10 stripe. Now I need to decide should I get 1TB or 2TB model. Total cost makes 1TB attractive. Are you aware of any reason, please, why one should avoid 1TB one / favor 2TB one?

Thank you for your reply! Could you please elaborate on your "the only place the 520 (and E16) shines is at 2TB" statement? I am interested to hear as much as I can on it because it is 2TB models of both I am looking at.

I am trying to decide between Samsung 970 Evo Plus vs. Seagate FireCuda 520 for my new build. Build uses Intel X299 motherboard so “winner” will run in PCIe 3.0 slot, advantages of 4.0’s higher bandwidth for sequential throughput will not be a deciding factor. What matters to me is how they...

Thank you!

I am not pranking you :) When I Googled PM985 U.2 couldn't find anything. Now that aigomorla posted it seems you meant 98-3-, not 98-5.

Which drive though?

Thank you!

Thank you! I already have U.2 port on mb so I am looking for just cable. What I am trying to find out though which one of many brands available on Amazon/elsewhere is considered -the best- and which ones I should avoid, not having experience they all seem equal to me. Do you happen to know, please?

Which drive is that, where I can find it, please?
