    Splashed the cash on a new rig, not solely for TSW but I play a fair few other games and have a LG OLED 64 TV to use. Had heard TSW in 4K was worth setting to and was made up to see the results. Sat on a 150 leaving Penzance in the morning sun and it was pretty memorable. Still the odd stutter and at night most routes look very dark but definite eye candy now....

    A first for me was a Ryzen cpu. Ryzen 5800x, then 32 GB RAM and a RTX 3080 GPU. Liquid cooled as my PC sits in a warm room in the summer especially. SSD M2 also.

    Only problem was getting everything redownloaded. 6 hrs before I could play a game....

    Unless you've somehow connected a cold water tap to your liquid cooling, the warm room is still bad for your system.
    The liquid cooling moves the heat from your CPU/GPU to a radiator, but that still has to be cooled down with air. And if the air is warm, the overall cooling will be poor. Ventilate your room, and that will also be good for your health.

    This is a good watch.

    It's a well ventilated space, French doors that open and 2 large opening windows. On the hottest days I probs would be out doing something not on PC anyhow. It also has on top of the liquid cooling 9 fans in the case and the GPU has its stock fan also.
