    Question A worthwhile upgrade?

    The i9 10900k will cost me $150 aud for a used cpu. My rig is used solely for 4k gaming, nothing else. Wondering if the i9 would get me better performance and fps than the i7 11700kf

    Question Can I get more cooling by installing greater CFM fans?

    All I needed to hear, reckon you've saved me about $60.00 - $90.00 AUD, I'll keep what I have and if during our Australian summer the temps become unbearable, I'll just open a window to get fresher air into the room where I am gaming.

    Question Can I get more cooling by installing more fans?

    Thanks for the prompt response, curiosity more than anything else in me asking, reason is that I do have a spare Arctic 140mm fan here, probably won't install it as I don't think a 1-2 degree drop is worth the effort....a simple task like this becomes infinitely more troublesome and time...

    Question CPU cooler question - whether upgrading fans makes a difference?

    I have a square shaped Silverstone magnetic dust filter that came with my PSU so I am using that atop my new 120mm Arctic P12 intake fan to catch any dust coming into the rig.

    Question CPU cooler question - whether upgrading fans makes a difference?

    Well a flip of my 120mm Arctic P12 as a top exhaust, changed to intake right over my CPU cooler and it's made a 4 degree temp difference when running Cinebench r23. It got me a better score too of about 22 points, a small win is still a win,. Thank you.

    Question Periodically, lose GPU signal and have to restart my desktop pc.

    For anyone who's interested, I think I sorted out the issue after a lot of trouble shooting, seems one of the GPU 8 pin power cables was coming loose from the 3 splitter connector to the gpu. I think only 2 of the 3 GPU cables was giving power to the GPU, hence the loss of video signal and...

    Question CPU cooler question - whether upgrading fans makes a difference?

    I may try flipping one of my top exhaust fans to an intake directly above the cpu cooler, that seems like the easiest place to start. Thanks.
