    Question Help with fans

    they should work plugged into standard fan header. However you won't have control on the lighting. Not 100% about these but i think they may come with a standard pattern on them, if you want to control the patterns then you would need the box.

    Question NVME boots in 5-7 secs alone. With 2 ither 8TB hhds Plugged in it takes 40Secs to get to desktop. Why?

    My friend actually run into the exact same problem, his main boot drive is 970 evo and would boot in 14 seconds or so, but with HDD in it would take almost 10 mins (old HDD) a lot more extreme than what you've been experiencing but sounds like the same issue. I have yet to fully understand why...

    TP-Link Wireless AP loosing connection to router

    So recently i've been trying to use a TL-WA901N V2 as my network card.

    I can't even achieve 60fps on 1080p ultra setting on far cry 5 with a 1080ti

    Have you checked your resolution scale slider? I get 77 min, 86 ave, 102 max, at 2k (2560 x 1440) on a GTX 1080 @ 2025Mhz 1:1 resolution scale. Resolution scale is the slider at the bottom of the vsync setting page.

    How much can my power supply handle

    It's really not necessary to upgrade the PSU, A pump will never exceed 50W (most pumps will be in the ~20W region), so that leaves 500 for the rest. As derekullo has pointed out the system without the graphics card is 169W, so total is ~220W, leaving 330W, more than enough.

    Troublesome SSD Windows Installation

    So you've got windows installed on an SSD which you can boot into, install stuff on and you navigate directories via file explorer? And only your storage drive is playing up? The title of the post is a little misleading then. None the less, first thing is to run dskchk.

    Wifi adapter lag spiking

    Ok so I seem to have fixed the problem, I used the windows 10 Network Reset function and it seems to have done the trick. Not entirely sure what actually happens when you click that, but it would be useful to know for anyone on earlier windows versions if someone here knows.
