I have an 8kx and been using on steamvr until now. I got into tweaking newer games so i want to squeeze out every bit of performance and get rid of stutters. Pimax Play def runs smoother but now i try to use the vive wand, it reverts instantly to steamvr. Do i need to buy one of the crystal's controllers, do those even work with the 8kx, or can i use something else? Thanks.

Gonna buy all bequiet fans for new build. I heard that rifle bearing fans should be horizontal and fluid bearing fans should be vertical. Does this mean its best for a pure wing 2/3 to be my top exhaust and should not be used as intakes? Or can rifle be used vertically too? Easy enough to see silentwings 4 pro can be heatsink fan, but what about non pro sw3/4? All vertical? I see they have a static pressure design, Are they good enough for front airflow fans or would pure wings actually work better? Ty.

Note, i care about having a quiet all air build and one important thing is my case is a little cramped with 140mm double tower heatsink and a 4090 oc, want to make sure its cooled efficiently.

Here's my pc parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WT3Czv

Budget:none, only requirement is MC has it, going there in a short while. Used bequiet silent wings3 and the stock noctua nd15s fan before. Thanks.

-edit eh mc doesnt have noctua fans, just the heatsink kits, if amazon has it thats fine too.

Seems like theres 2 main ones, the silent wings pro 4 and noctua g2. Not sure about other brands/fan types.

At first i was thinking of getting a 14900k and running with my old DDR4 ram. Then I read the 14900k has heat issues so i though okay maybe a 14700k is sufficient. Then i read about everyone and their grandmother telling vr gamers to buy a 9800x3d with 32gb ddr5. Then i researched and it falls short in productivity, plus ram speed is limited.... Ideally I would like to get the adequate spec for sim racing and vr mods on modern games, ie praydogs projects and be able to run those without a high clock on cpu and the 4090 now, then a handful of years later, oc the cpu to help stretch its life until the next major upgrade. Or maybe i just get the fastest cpu and ram and not oc at all. What do you think is the play here?

Could I buy a different monitor that doesn't heat my room as much? Or does anyone put fans on their monitors and does that help? I love this monitor but i've had it since 2019 and it heats small rooms up like a furnace, and I need to keep the door closed when I'm working.
