Yep. You win the internet. I figured it out 20 minutes ago. In the past I always had integrated graphics. Lie and learn. Thanks. False alarm!

Hi there. I just received my long-awaited custom-built editing computer yesterday. It was assembled to my specs by a local computer store. I wanted to fire it up right then but I had things to do so I exercised a little discipline and waited until today. About 30 minutes ago I turned the...

Thanks for the tip but I dont think static pressure are what I want (but I'm not sure). I will have ZERO intake fans on this; only 1x120mm for back exhaust and 1x140mm for top exhaust. RGB and related bling are not necessary--I'm hoping that the money I save on that will buy me some extra CFM...

Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that I'd like 4-pin fans so I could better control them, I don't need any RGB and not too concerned about looks, and I'd like a compromise between moving a lot of air and noise. I can read the CFM and dB stats like anyone else but I've found...

Hi. I've got a NZXT H510 case that comes with two Aer F120 (Case Version) fans installed to exhaust. I'd like to upgrade to a better 120mm in back and to a better 140mm at the top. I've never bought fans before but I'm guessing I can get decent fans for about $20-25 each? I'd appreciate any...

What are those called? Is it difficult to attach that to the case's front panel Type C port after everything else has been installed?

Well I don't "need" the front panel C, I just thought it'd be nice to have both of the case's front USB ports functional. I think i read somewhere that you can get some sort of PCIe card that can route a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection to a front Type-C port. That sounds pretty groovy--if I...

Hello. I have a Asus TUF x570 motherboard and NZXT H510 case. The mobo has USB 3.2 G1 and USB 2.0 headers while the front panel on the case has 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port and 1x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A port. Can I run a cable from the USB 3.2 G1 header that splits where one end goes to the...

Thanks for the advice. It helps.

Thanks. I'm looking for 2x16GB though.

Thank you everyone. I need a little time to go over this... some good info there. Thanks for that. I was hoping to find non-RGB that had the exact same specs as the G.Skill Trident Z Neo mentioned in my OP. Otherwise I'll need to do the hours of skimming through all the specs of all the...

Hi there. I'm working on building a video editing system with a Ryzen 3700x and Asus TUF x570 mobo. After researching it for what seems like my entire lifetime I came up with G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 as a good choice. But it has RGB lighting which I don't need and would rather not...

Hi. I'm building a video editing system and I'm trying to choose a GPU. I plan to use an NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super but I can't decide between different manufacturers builds, I will not be gaming at all and I'm not concerned with OC the CPU or GPU although I may try it sometime to process effects...

Thanks again, Archaic. Good information. You've relieve some of my worry about the number of power connectors. You mention the 2018 model and "the older model". Isn't the 2018 the older model? I assumed the other (without a year) was the newer one--2019 or later.

Thank you for that, Archaic. the Corsair I mentioned is the RM650x, which I see as going for about $150. But then there is the RM650x (2018) which only costs $110. They have different numbers of SATA and Molex connectors. And why is 2018 so much cheaper that 2019? It's nice to be reassured...
