I'm wondering if onboard Wi-Fi uses pcie lanes (I assume that it would) and of so does it use cpu or chipset lanes and how many? Thanks

As the title states I'm wondering if onboard Wi-Fi takes up pcie lanes and if so does it take it from cpu or chipset lanes and how many

make sure they are 4 pin pwm fan headers and you should be able to use whatever software youre using to set the fan curve to your liking

I guess if i put it on the bottom toward the rear it wouldnt be much different than having it rear mounted

If i chose to do mount it on the bottom would it be better to have the fans as intake or outake. Id think outake would be better to keep the gpu heat outside of the case but im not sure how that would effect the air pressure inside of the case.

Your fan header may have died for some reason. You could try and plug your fans into a different fan header and then go into the bios and go to advanced settings, look for the monitoring section and just change the cpu fan speed to ignore and your system should boot just fine and as long as you...

Im planning on buying a evga hybrid gpu to get my computer up and running and then plan on upgrading to a full custom loop in the future. My problem is that the Thermaltake view 51 doesnt have radiator support in the rear and im not sure if i feel comfortable putting the radiator at the bottom...

Thats what i figured. Ive just never used cable extensions before and wanted to make sure before and went ahead and ordered them thanks.

My gpu has two 8 pin connectors so can i use 8 pin cable extensions on my 6+2 cables from my power supply. I know i could just get 6+2 cable extensions but to get the pro cables from cable mod they have to be 8 pin extensions. Im assuming i could just plug the 6+2 cable into the 8 pin extension...

so would i just use two standoffs one for the ssd and one the the heatsink?

Yeah ive been doing some more research the past couple days and i think a 3700x and 2080 super is probably what i will go with cause i plan on gaming at 1440p 144hz or 4k at the very least 60hz. Or if i can manage to afford a 2080 TI ill go that route but who knows by the time i get around to...

So this might be a stupid question but i was Wondering if you could use the 22110 size heatsink on a 2280 nvme drive or would you have to have a 22110 drive to use the heatsink that is included with this motherboard?

Im not so worry about saving a buck here and there i just want to know what pairing would be best for performance reasons. I plan on spending a decent chunk and just want to make sure i have enough power in both cpu and gpu without running into any bottlenecks. Obviously i dont need anything...

Im planning on building a new pc in the future and was planning on doing a Ryzen 9 3900x and 2070 super graphics card but was wondering if it would be better to do a less powerful cpu with a more powerful gpu. I want this computer to be ready for the future so i dont have to upgrade for a little...
