My main rig has a 750w for the motherboard and drives and a 1000w for the 2 Vega's. I'll be fine lul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you post things on a public forum, even jokes, especially not so obvious ones, and especially about things like KSP performance, on the KSP forum, you can expect answers like this. So, for you to respond immediately with after literally asking "what do you think?" makes me scratch my head. Also, welcome to the forums. I see you joined in May but have not participated very much since then. I hope your stay here is a little less abrasive going forward. well to be fair the fire part is obvious enough for me at least.

A 5 second google search shows me a 95W cooler for ~18USD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pure rock is rated at 150w and was around 40 USD. There's nothing special about cooling these chips; they've been around forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowdays it no issue cooling desktop cpu's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
