So, I have used a Kraken G12 to attach an AIO to my RTX 2080Ti. I sawed and created my own VRAM + VRM heatsinks, applying them to all of these spots. However, I originally used Silicone thermal pads. They worked great until I moved my PC any bit, simply up 1 flight of stairs causing some...

Running iPerf between all devices, shows 980Mbits/sec in all tests from PC1 to PC2, or Laptop, and vice versa. Strictly outgoing connections to the same servers have other devices at 950+Mb, and PC1 still at ~180

This app was never installed on my device.

I have an issue that I just can't seem to solve for the life of me. Three devices. First, my main desktop. 3900x CPU with X570 AORUS PRO motherboard. It has Intel l211 Gigabit networking. With this, I get 200mb/sec using speedtest.net Second device is an older 4670k with Z87X-UD4H...

You could if you're just updating the BIOS. But the best and safest option is to simply put a TINY blob onto the CPU in the middle, Easily cleaned with even paper-towel after, and you will only need to worry about overheating if you're doing stress testing, which you're not.

A GTX 1060 is about 10% faster than a 970. If you were gaming at a higher resolution than 1080p the extra VRAM would helpful, but at 1080p there will likely not be a noticeable difference. If you can only find them at the same price, absolutely get the GTX 1060, however the best choice would...

GTA V Is a M rated game, there is no toggle for nudity or foul language. If you are finding this content in the game offensive, the only way to avoid it is to simply not play.

Best way to find out, Move a card over. If it doesn't work, swap it back.

What cooler do you have with your CPU?

Monitor resolution has ZERO effect on your CPU usage, only GPU usage.

...Turn VSync off.

Overclocking will reduce your unplugged battery time, and increase heat. If you're plugged into the wall, and your temperatures are fine you're in the clear, laptops have MUCH tighter thermal limits that desktops.
