If you wanted to clean up the pc use computer spray, that is safe for all pc parts

If it works and there’s no noises let it be

As far as the software goes I’m not sure, if your plugged into the led header everything is setup correctly but that motherboard doesn’t seem to support much rgb lighting. I would try different apps and see if they work there are a lot of them out there

Yeah that’s exactly what I meant it sounded like you didn’t have a header to plug into, if you have 3 fans you’ll have 3 plugs that need to be plugged into headers, do you have 3 separate fan headers? if so check if they reach, if not you will need an adapter

Yup that solved the problem, the fans are super quiet now

I’m not sure about the software but to wire it you need an adapter that accepts the 3 wires and splits them into one 4 pin connector to connect into the fan header of your motherboard then you just connect the rgb to the led header

anything is better with more money, that’s kinda obvious but within the budget is the question and is it worth it, no not really especially if you already have an ssd to put the os on

Yup 3200 should work fine, check in your motherboard manual which slots you should put them in and you have to set a-xmp in bios remember or you won’t get the 3200 speed you payed for.

I have an ssd lol, the only difference is when it loads programs like games or apps other than that it’s a matter of a couple second difference, but I’m saying with a $50 budget the 2tb is the better buy if you need the storage and if you don’t the ssd makes more sense as I mentioned above

What is your budget? what games are you looking to play? I would start with upgrading the cpu first then the gpu though, I bought an i5 9600k and an EVGA GTX 1660 and I swear by it all my games run great

The motherboard and cpu are compatible in this setup, the ram is not compatible with your motherboard. The ram you have says 3600 which is the speed in MHz, your motherboard supports up to 3466. You need to get ram that is any of these speeds 3466/ 3200/ 3066/ 3000/ 2933/ 2800/ 2667. The 3600...

Right, but the biggest difference between the two would be boot times. The difference in performance is not worth the extra coin in my opinion, I would use a good cpu and ram with xmp to get good performance.

I haven’t heard anything good about hybrids but it all depends on how much storage you need. If you need the pc for minor tasks and a couple games go with the Kingston, if you need 1tb of storage or more the link I sent you is probably the best deal for $50. You can use the ssd you already have...
