Thank you for the confirmation, I thought 2 layers of front fans would be redundant too. As for my current case I have 2 front Noctua intake, 2 top exhaust Cooler Master and 1 Noctua rear exhaust (total of 5). I'm using stock Wraith Stealth cooler for my R5 3600 and probably will not switch to...

I'm eyeing the Lian Li Lancool 215: https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-000Z-00069 and the specification says front can support up to 2x140mm or 3x120mm fans (excluding the pre-installed 2x200mm). Currently I have 2x140mm Noctua in my current case as front fans and I'd like to keep using them for this...

Updated OP, had to switch the SSD SATA slot and now it works, idk how to pick the solution so I'm leaving a comment here.

I ran the render test from gpu-z but it doesn't switch to x16.

I'm on my 2nd latest bios version (excluding beta), but I read the change log it isn't much. I'll give it a try to see if it fixes it. So far I don't see any major bottleneck (shouldnt be anything significant really based on the benchmarks I've seen). Also I game on 1440p so that helps, I think...

Here's my build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FNkVGq I installed a new RTX 3080 (upgraded from 1080) yesterday in slot 1, when I checked GPU-Z the bus bandwidth says the card is running in PCI-E x8 3.0 instead of x16 (I even run some render test to put some load on the gpu but it doesn't...

Thanks for your recommendation! Would the intel build consume less power than amd's ? Assuming I'm sticking with the same PSU, though 550 is a little tight, but I don't do much of OC-ing.

I'm looking to upgrade my build, which was initially built in 2014 so that's very obsolete and limited in upgrade options due to mobo only supports Intel 4th gen processor at most. I'm using i5 4690K so the only higher option is 4790K but definitely not willing to spend more than $200 for a 5...

I'm looking to buy a MBP 15'' 2015, for force click touchpad and better performance SSD (otherwise I'd have gone for 2014). I have a few questions: . Is 2.8ghz or 2.5ghz a huge jump from 2.2ghz as base clock speed? I believe the first 2 model can turbo boost up to 4.0ghz while the base model...

Idk which setting it is but ever since I OC'd my I5-4690K to 4.3ghz, my min-core value keeps saying 4.3, that means its running my max-core all the time. Will the system be negatively affected in the long run? (by default Intel leaves it at 800Mhz min and 3.5Ghz max). My cache CPU ratio is : 40...

So I have 4 of these : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231476 Ram They are all identical but only slot 2 and 4 are running in Dual channel, 1 and 3 are in Single. How do I configure in such a way that they run dual channel in pairs ? They are running the same XMP...

I'm looking to buy a cheap, compact usb wifi to use on my laptop. I have an Atheros AR956X adapter built-in which keeps disconnecting all the time (I've googled a bit and a lot of people face the same issue as well, maybe it's just poor designed). I'm wondering if dual band wifi is worth it on...
