Okay, well I'll just keep my experiences/opinions to myself then. Just sharing my experience if the OP felt like exploring other cooler options. Not saying anything is wrong.

If you want to explore a different heatsink solution, the noctua c14s is fantastic and does fit in that case. I have the same case. I also replaced my front fan but with the noctua 200mm. I have 2x 92mm noctua redux fans for exhaust. I only have the one (included) 140mm fan with the c14s on the...

16GB?? Can you even fit windows 10 on that?

Did you update the BIOS before upgrading the CPU?

I was going to replace my thermaltake core v1 with that lian tu150 (windowless as well!!) for travelling. It would have fit a lot nicer. But I didn't have the funds for a new PSU and also fans. I still would like to but now it's not a necessity. Here's my build...

My first build (and quite recently) is a mini-itx. I love the small form factor, because space is an issue and an important factor for me. I also just like the way they look.. when browsing builds on pcpartpicker, I find myself only looking at itx builds. I recently travelled cross country by...

I mainly chose the Noctua by reputation.. sure maybe there is a slightly better and/or cheaper (or more expensive) cooling solution out there that fits my case, but I have zero regrets investing in this cooler. Even considering higher ambient temps in the past when I first started this thread, a...

I ended up getting the noctua nh-c14s, which has drastically reduced my temps. This cooler has been worth every penny, IMO. I've been running Handbrake nonstop for about 5 hours now at a consistent CPU temp of 58 C. I don't even have the NF-A14 fan running at full RPM (at about 900 or so RPM)...

If you're looking for new cells, here is a vendor that is highly reputable.. I have only bought from them, and have always been satisfied. https://www.rtdvapor.com/ Also highly reputable.. https://www.orbtronic.com/ There are others, but these are the 2 that come to mind. I hope you can get...

Can't remember when, or exactly what.. but it was either Tetris or Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt on the NES. I can remember my dad taking us up north to the cabin in his pickup truck with a topper, and us in the back in the bed with a mattress and a small TV+NES hooked up. Not sure that would fly...

I think you'd be better off selling or donating them, unless you're really determined.

This may give you a few ideas.. it certainly has given me a few about a future custom built case for myself! https://pcpartpicker.com/b/bRjypg https://www.makerbeam.com/ The Makerbeam stuff can be bought on Amazon

I would imagine PCIe4.0 is backward compatible, and so on. I.e. you buy a fandangled new mobo with PCIe4.0 but have a PCIe3.0 graphics card, it shall still work (at 3.0 speeds)? Or could you buy a new PCIe4.0 GPU but have a PCIe3.0 mobo (at 3.0 speeds)?
