I'm thinking about getting a 4090, however, i'm worried about this melting issue i've heard about. Also i'd like to get something to cool it down as heating i find can be an issue with games of today. I'd also need a new motherboard as my PCIE is 3.0 and not the next one up. Water cooling is something i've never done before so my knowledge of it is 0. I have to turn the fans on quite high for my 1080ti to cool it down when playing certain games and it's annoying when it sounds like a jet engine.

@achilles614: Here's me thinking you put it in a fish tank🤣

Hiya, I remember hearing about over heating or melting with the RTX 4090 and was wondering what would be the best way to cool it down.

I have no knowledge with water coolers and all, so i might avoid that route altogether, but are there any other more effective ways to avoid any problems with the RTX 4090 from melting or breaking down. I currently have a GTX 1080ti and plan to upgrade in due time.

Any details would be great.

Thanks :)

I guess easy games are more for relaxing and all, hard games are more for a challenge and i wouldn't recommend it if you feel down, annoyed or not in the mood. When i come home from work, i just want to chill and prefer games a lot easier, specially coming home from a horrible day which is like 99% of the time. TBH, i kinda feel that hard games are more difficult to do now, i get easily bored with it or find it so much difficult to consertrait and all. I also find it easier to switch the whole the game off completely while on easy, i can easily unwind and switch off from the real world instead and keep playing. I guess i just feel like i've lost interest in challenges these days.

The one game to beat them all.....

Horizon Forbidden West

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart

Assassin's Creed Valhalla/Hogwarts Legacy - Difficult to say between the two atm.

Negative.....

I work in retail ¬.¬

It might be worth everyone from PS to wait until MS tell everyone what the plan is. Maybe they will give us XB games for the PS, maybe they wont. So far it's just a rumor. I for one would love to see the Elder Scrolls be on the PS, but for XB, they don't have many good games and spending so much money on Activision and Bethesda doesn't sound like it was a good choice if they decide to give every platform every game they make. Yes MS will no doubt get it's money back, but they do need good exclusives.

Until they tell us what it is they are going to do, i'd rather not jump with joy thinking MS are going to give us Halo, Gears, Goldeneye and a few others only to find out it's not going to happen. I don't think MS would really want to hurt or insult it's loyal XB gamers by telling them "sorry, but we are putting all our games on the PS, deal with it". XB might not be the best console, but it still gives MS money and helps with the competition. 3 of my work buddies are angry about the rumor and i've told them to just wait and see what it is, for all we know, it may never happen and someone just created the rumor to make one side very angry. Do they really want to do another X1 and make more XB gamers leave and join the PS.

I feel like it was the PS2 era, so many games, so many memories, so much fun. From PS3 onwards, i felt like games became less and less over time, not to mention, the casino mechanics became a virus for games ever since then. I still play more of my older games than the new ones tbh.

Playstation for me. Better console, better games, better controller. The main screen is the only thing i feel like is a down vote. I prefer the PS4/3 than the PS5 one tbh.
