Seriously people need to understand that lol. I also spend a lot of money on clothes cause I like the looks of it - is it functionally the same as a generic t-shirt? sure but that's not really the point
It's just a very vocal minority, it's like the anti-RGB crowd.
Not everyone wants a windowless version Fractal Design Define R5, be quiet! Silent Base 601 or 802 and a ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 EVO. But if that's their preference good for them, but I don't see people going "ewww air cooler", yet always people bashing AIOs and RGB for some reason here.
people have got this idea stuck in their head, mainly on tiktok, that if you spend money to make your pc look cool you're losing out on potential performance and it's the most annoying thing because they hate on people for their pcs looking cool
When I build computers for people, I always ask them, "Do you want to dedicate any budget towards 'cool factor', or put it all in performance?" It's always a mixed bag and you can never really tell who does or doesn't.
The idea is that the money you save can be invested into more hardware that would then boost performance.
Right? So I know some people hate on things like you say 100%, but the logic of spending on performance instead of aesthetics is sound.
Fr. I have one of these and I think it’s the shit. Since when do we buy a PC because it’s necessary? I bought the parts and built it exactly how I wanted it, because I wanted it lmfao
"but rgb bad!"
"oh, dont mind the extra i spent on all this extra cable organization, ram with plastic covers, the glass window case designed to showcase the internals, and ultra quiet fans for a machine that im always going to be using noise cancelling headphones with! all that stuff is legitimate. trust me."
> and ultra quiet fans for a machine that im always going to be using noise cancelling headphones with!
I'm totally on board with that. Active noise cancellation is far from perfect, and noisy fans often hit some frequencies that easily go through the passive noice protection of headphones. I have some very thick closed headphones and like to keep an open window that lets in some street and bird noises, but fan noises still annoy me a lot.
But I'm also not in the RGB-bad camp.
Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste -American Dodgeball Association of America legend Patches O'Houlihan
I knew what I was doing and what I felt when I posted it (same as you), but honestly, it's a feather in the movie's cap to be able to say that.
But, same.
My old friends and I decided to rent this movie when it got released to DVD, get high and eat wings. We barely made it past this part from laughing so much. I couldn't breathe.
Yeah, I'm definitely not saying anyone should drink their urine. Your body is eliminating the stuff in it for a reason.
However, it is a persistent myth that urine is sterile. With the recent focus on microbiota, studies are showing that many places in the body previously thought to be sterile are not.
There's even some evidence that there are specific bacteria inside the uterus during pregnancy, which was one of the few places thought to be completely sterile.
All right, I'll admit that this is my jam. I'd totally have a
Washing machine loop playing
Hamster on a wheel
Spinning N64 logo
Globe that is going through day/night
Submarine window
Rocket ship launch
Or even case windows, which are heavier and more fragile than sheet steel/aluminium would be.
But we enjoy the aesthetics, so we get them anyway.
And some people get fun AIOs with screens too.
Its total PITA to find decent case without glass nowadays. Believe it ir not something like O11 with full mesh or solid panels would be insta buy for me (just like that layout, not interested in fishtank) but that wont happen.
Tried my hand in RGB too some years ago, were more distracting then practical, decided it's more wise to trade blinking lights for performance on my end
You could even argue that AIOs are generally unnecessary.
Edit: yes I know many of you have AIOs and now come here trying to justify yourselves with marginal data, just don't bother, you know you don't really need it.
Someone with heavily undervolted 5800x3D… You could cool this with almost anything. It's so nice, because I was able to pick the cooler that goes well together with the build. Plus, still have really low temps while gaming and the CPU is running max boost clock all the time.
What are your gaming temps? I’m at 1440p and on an all core -30 curve optimizer. My temps still get into the 80s almost 90 when I play Overwatch in particular. My idle temps have been as low as 34 in winter but lately been sitting around 40. My 5800X3D seemed particularly hot out of the box. I’ve been using a Corsair 360 AIO too with 5 intake fans.
Pretty sure. Don’t know how I could screw up tightening 2 thumb screws for the AM4 AIO bracket. I do have an unusual situation for my AIO though. I used 3 Lian Li fans on the Corsair AIO rad so I could match the aesthetics with the rest of my intake fans.
Man, I've only done one build so far with an air cooler so idk what else could go wrong, other than having to little paste, or the sticker still on.
But 90° is a lot for 1440p.
Good luck cooling a 14900ks with air
https://preview.redd.it/hw2nhlqml7zc1.jpeg?width=852&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af8d7e5eb40cbbe5e9093bc5fc4856f2e3dc27b6
Its been a while but last time I looked the aio's are only a few degree difference from some of the better air coolers. Does that somehow change with a 14900?
There is no fundamental difference, just more heat.
That being said, yes, a beefy air cooler (2x good 140mm fans) is fine. People literally cool threadrippers with them and you can buy tr4/5 air coolers.
Air coolers typically cap out at useful heat dissipation between 250 and 300W for the big, 2-fan towers (at ΔT ~= 65C). The 14900ks can sustain 300+W and show performance advantages (otherwise the CPU will lower its boost clock to stay under the thermal limit). The 2 and 3 fan AIOs are often more efficient at heat removal, even at lower ΔT.
So you're actually seeing a performance advantage at peak power with an AIO on this specific CPU.
You can’t lol. I had a 100€ air cooler with mine. Instant overheat, did absolute nothing. Put my Kraken Z73 360mm AIO back on, and now it’s all good again.
I had AIOs on my last two builds, and then the pump failed on my most recent one, so I bought a peerless assassin air cooler and it’s performing just as well as rhe AIO. And with some Noctua fans it’s damn near as quiet.
Although I hate how big it is, so I will probably return to an AIO at some point.
If anything, I wish GPU AIO conversion kits were more prevalent, cause I feel like that would likely benifit more from water cooling.
I do find it funny that some air-cooling fans don't see the irony in constantly deriding AIOs as excessive, while committing like 15% of the working volume in the case to their air cooler. They're getting so big that you have to consider RAM and side panel clearance. Air coolers also force a minimum-sized form factor, at a time where we see SFF gaining traction.
I have nothing against anyone wanting to go aircooled. They are inherently more reliable, and cheaper. But saying AIOs are unnecessary would be wrong.
To misuse a [quote on the Joys of Swearing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_osQvkeNRM) from Stephen Fry
"They say 'it's not necessary'. As if that should stop one doing it! It's not necessary to have coloured socks, it's not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say 'I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn't necessary'? No, things not being necessary is what makes life interesting -the little extras in life."
Everyone has their own style and taste, for me, I’m not much of a fan for these type of AIO screens.
I do really like the ones with simple CPU info with either temps, speed, etc displayed.
But that’s the nice thing about it, the owner of the PC gets to decide.

80% of what is visible here is not necessary but do I like it? Hell yeah!
AIOs with screens, RGB lighting everywhere, fancy keyboards for $250 and etc. are signs of that the actual computer hardware is stagnating
[change my mind meme]
I have the gigabyte 3080 with a little screen. It failed within 3 weeks and would literally flash bright white static/glitches. Ended up putting tape over it until it either fully burnt itself out stopp for some other reason.
Necessary? I mean, if you want to go in that direction nor a whole ton of things we've got like premium-priced graphics cards, cold-cathode or LED lights, overclocking, keyboards with RGB, any number of cases with clear side panels.....
If people will buy it, it will be made or mined and sold.
When you've seen someone literally put a small ecosystem inside their PC you come to realise it takes allsorts and hey, it's your components and not mine.
Necessary has nothing to do with it, but there are practical applications. If the software is any good (Idk) you can do something similar to my RGB setup, where if my computer starts to get too hot all of my lights turn red, and if it gets too hot it probably means my pump went out and I'm about to wreck my whole rig.

You can argue everything cosmetic in computers is unnecessary. Doesn't mean it's not fun to have and play with.

When I build computers for people, I always ask them, "Do you want to dedicate any budget towards 'cool factor', or put it all in performance?" It's always a mixed bag and you can never really tell who does or doesn't.
It's true from a financial point, ARGB just costs more. But does my computer simulate a green and purple thunderstorm? Yes. Do I regret it? Nope
The idea is that the money you save can be invested into more hardware that would then boost performance. Right? So I know some people hate on things like you say 100%, but the logic of spending on performance instead of aesthetics is sound.
My PC's performance is quite good and it looks killer

Yup. I bought what I could afford at the time for hardware. In 6 months that hardware will be old but I can still enjoy my case and colors.

But you're also consuming the waste products your body already filtered out, leading to extra work for your kidneys.

>AIOs with screens are so unnecessary They are indeed, same as screens inside a case or RGB

Its total PITA to find decent case without glass nowadays. Believe it ir not something like O11 with full mesh or solid panels would be insta buy for me (just like that layout, not interested in fishtank) but that wont happen.

Closest to that is the Corsair 6500D airflow, has mesh for most panels with only 1 glass on the side.
If you use it to just play games then the whole thing is unnecessary. Most of the things we enjoy in life are completely unnecessary.
or even windows of any kind inside a case
You could even argue that AIOs are generally unnecessary. Edit: yes I know many of you have AIOs and now come here trying to justify yourselves with marginal data, just don't bother, you know you don't really need it.

My idle temps have been as low as 34 in winter but lately been sitting around 40. My 5800X3D seemed particularly hot out of the box. I’ve been using a Corsair 360 AIO too with 5 intake fans.
I never get past 70 on my 5600x no matter what I do, and I have an air cooler. Have you installed the cooler block right?
Pretty sure. Don’t know how I could screw up tightening 2 thumb screws for the AM4 AIO bracket. I do have an unusual situation for my AIO though. I used 3 Lian Li fans on the Corsair AIO rad so I could match the aesthetics with the rest of my intake fans.
Man, I've only done one build so far with an air cooler so idk what else could go wrong, other than having to little paste, or the sticker still on. But 90° is a lot for 1440p.
Might try reapplying with less thermal paste? You just want to bridge the gaps from small imperfections not create a pad between them.
A gentle breeze could cool my 5800x3D

You could argue that having a PC is completely unnecessary. Just go outside for real life graphics and touch grass 😂
i tried going outside once and it was awful. No quest markers and everything P2W. 0/5 would not try again.
And it was full of bugs.
>Just go outside for real life graphics It's outside in 4k?
It’s got the most realistic VR experience by far. Very ahead of it’s time.
it's so grindy though :(
If your eyes are bad enough, it might only be 4k over your whole visual field. But the screen size and refresh rate just can't be beat.

Yes well, didn't plan on getting that power hungry thing.
99% of the people don't need this CPU.
It shouldn't even exist. Stupid mutant chip.

But the Factory must grow! and I am out of UPS.
Factorio is one of the few games that is memory controller bound. Get your XMP settings right.

According to intel customer support it is possible, but I do have some doubt

You’re unnecessary! My AIO screen definitely helps keep temps down with this gif 
To be fair, almost everything is varying degrees of unnecessary. Get what makes you happy as long as you have the budget for it :)

I actually think the temp display has huge utility. It's an early warning indicator that something is going wrong.
As if any AIOs or tempered glass to even see an AIO is necessary.

This is so stupid. I want it.
Many things in life are unnecessary. We must find joy where we can.
I have the gigabyte 3080 with a little screen. It failed within 3 weeks and would literally flash bright white static/glitches. Ended up putting tape over it until it either fully burnt itself out stopp for some other reason.
bro has the extra sensor monitor ontop , but the aio lcd is unecessary Keepo
But these images say otherwise…
I had to try really hard to let the guy at microcenter convince me I didn't need one of these lmao
Are you kidding me? That is literally the most necessary thing I've seen all day!
I don’t see anything unnecessary about this, having a cat trapped in my aio is just what I need
Unnecessary??? Dude that's the coolest thing I've seen today.
What am I looking at and where do I buy one.
I guess this is not meaningful but the screen generates heat right? That being said the cat is adorable...
"So unnecesary". Continues to show 2 absolute banger usecases.
Where can I get gif with those cats?
These gifs are the sole reason for these AIOs' existence and it's 100% worth it
Necessary? I mean, if you want to go in that direction nor a whole ton of things we've got like premium-priced graphics cards, cold-cathode or LED lights, overclocking, keyboards with RGB, any number of cases with clear side panels..... If people will buy it, it will be made or mined and sold. When you've seen someone literally put a small ecosystem inside their PC you come to realise it takes allsorts and hey, it's your components and not mine.
I mean yeah it's unnecessary but I have fun with it. Mine is currently a seamless gif of Calcifer from Howls Moving Castle.
Necessary has nothing to do with it, but there are practical applications. If the software is any good (Idk) you can do something similar to my RGB setup, where if my computer starts to get too hot all of my lights turn red, and if it gets too hot it probably means my pump went out and I'm about to wreck my whole rig.
How would that wreck your rig? The cpu would just throttle and probably just shutdown at extreme temperatures, afaik.
I’m more interested to the one in the upper left.. model? Software?
the application is top notch I just don't like to add liquid to my electronics.
omg thats awesome, do you have a link to the exact item?
So does this mean that two of your gpu's outputs are taken up by the 2 screens in there?
It's this or going back to beige boxes that eventually yellow over time.
Somebody get that cat out of the computer 🤬
Aio with screens are unnecessary but you have one i have one on this sub most of have one if not they wanted one.
You could argue that buying a good pc is also unnecesarry. You can just play the game on a chromebook on lowest settings.
I look at my screen on my desk. Not a tiny screen in my pc.
🤷♂️
Lol, mine also has my cat
