Is the metal case itself getting hot to the touch? If so, you probably have a short somewhere. You'll need to remove the motherboard and see if there is a screw or piece of metal lodged under it touching the case. Make sure that your MB screws are in their correct positions. Also check for any...

Thank you all for your comments. I ran Cinebench this morning and noted these additional temps. Idle with front fans off: MB (motherboard): 41°C, PCH 72°C-74°C, VRM 46°C-47°C Idle with front fans at 30%: MB 43°C, PCH 74°C, VRM 47°C Idle with front fans at 100%: MB 36-40°C, PCH 67-74°C, VRM...

See my post in the cooling forum from today. I would install HWinfo and try multiple fan speed combinations (manually controlled) to see how your system reacts. You'll need stress tests for both the CPU and the GPU to run simultaneously while watching CPU package and GPU temps (I was only...

I've been mostly absent from these forums for several years, but I just built a new system. Here is the meat of it: CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. Asus Multicore Enhancement turned OFF. Video Card: MSI...

Fully agree with what Zerk2012 said. Actually turbulent air can often cool better as laminar flow patterns around objects can shield them from temperature changes. Turbulent air helps break up the laminar flow patterns. Side fans can be quite helpful. This is an old article, but a good one...

In that case, forget what I said!

Your current PSU is more than adequate for the new GPU. This is confirmed here: https://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm You can calculate your requirements here which I did using their expert calculator revealing a recommended wattage of 598 watts...

What about a PC test bench? https://graphicscardhub.com/pc-test-bench-case/

You are not bothering me. Here is a hierarchy chart showing how each card would be expected to function for 1080p gaming providing that it is not being limited by the CPU. https://www.gpucheck.com/gpu-benchmark-graphics-card-comparison-chart Yes, that CPU will limit your maximum FPS, but you...

If you want RAM that has been pre-tested in your MB, put your MB info in here: https://www.gskill.com/en/configurator https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/advisor https://www.corsair.com/us/en/memoryfinder

remixislandmusic, that was quite interesting. (By the way, you can right click on those youtube videos and get the option to start it at its current time.) He does have the 2200G, however, and not the 3400G, so I went searching and found this: youtu.be/FntY5rYR4cE?t=440 The 1600 does quite a...

I would have specified a Nvidia GPU if one had been available at that $120 price range with at least 6 GB of VRAM. My understanding (mainly from Puget) is that the lion's share of the work is done by the CPU in Premier Pro. I think he needs more threads and more RAM...

What does your task manager performance tab indicate while you are editing? I wonder if you are running out of RAM? Only $15 over budget, this would put you in good shape: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg) Memory: Crucial - Ballistix...

There's no need for 32 GB of RAM for a gaming build. The MB is beefy for a future upgrade. I would do this: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.00 @ Amazon) Motherboard: MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard ($170.72 @ Walmart) Memory: G.Skill -...

Under features and specs it states: Preinstalled with three 140mm Riing RGB fans, If she lives in California, she probably has a Frys store close to her.
