Thank's! I did a lot of reading on here and asked a lot of questions to get this new rigs parts list together. I'm very happy with it, and the assembly couldn't have gone any easier. I just hooked everything up, and on the first try she started right up.

OKay, so I was playing Outer Worlds which I got free with my Processor. The CPU Spiked up to 74C & 77C for a split second during a very intense cut scene, but for the most part it stayed around 65C. The GPU Stayed around 65C also. I then played Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, and the CPU stayed...

I just built a gaming PC and I'm wondering if these temperatures look good. At Idle they are; CPU: 36 C System 1: 30 C System 2: 31 C PCH: 49 C PCIEx16: 32 C VRM MOS: 34 C I noticed the PCH is the highest. I read that it has something to do with the motherboard? Is 49 C okay for idling? Also...

I just built a new Gaming PC. I have a Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2070 Super. On the driver CD there is a program called Aorus Engine you can install. Should I install it? What is it?

The fans are these Corsair AF120 Red LED 120mm. They are only 3 pin, so I'm not sure the PWM splitters will work, since they are 4 pin. If I use a fan controller, would I be able to use something like this Thermaltake Commander FT Fan Controller? Or do you have a better suggestion?

I have 5 x 120mm red LED fans, but only 2 fan ports on my Motherboard. If I install a fan controller, how many watts per channel should I be looking at? They range from 8 to 60 watts per channel according to pcpartpicker. Or should I just use PWM Fan splitters and connect 3 fans to 1 mobo port...

Does anyone have an opinion on Gigabyte GPU's in general? Because this Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC that I'm currently looking at has really great reviews on pcpartpicker, newegg, and amazon. I'm really considering going for it, but at this price I would like a few more opinions.

I've been looking at the Radeon RX 5700 XT, but from what I've been reading they have a lot of problems. I noticed for a $100 U.S. more I could get a GeForce RTX 2070 Super. I'm just wondering if they have any issues. I prefer to buy on newegg. My budget for a GPU is $500 U.S. and I want to...

You know, I might hold off on getting a RX 5700 XT. I was reading about the Gigabyte and Sapphire ones you talked about, and they seem to have a lot of the same problems. I was reading through another thread on this forum and someone mentioned it being an AMD driver related issue. So, I don't...

I have this case which has a mesh front under the grill. It has 2 x 120mm front fans, 2 x 120mm top fans, and 1 x 120mm rear fan. You can see the fan locations at the link I provided. I'm wondering which ones I should set up as ins and which ones should be outs to give me the best airflow/cooling.

I agree with what you're saying, but is 4 x 8GB sticks more efficient than 2 x 16GB sticks? It seems like it would be, but I know the 2 x 16 is cheaper. I'll be gaming and video editing on this rig if that makes any difference.

Is this ASUS ROG STRIX RX 5700 XT Overclocked a good GPU? I can get it on sale for $430 U.S. I was also wondering if it will work good with my System. If there are any issues could you recommend a good RX 5700 XT. I like to shop on newegg, and I live in the U.S. My budget is $450 and under. My...

Sounds good, I'll go with one of those two NVMe M.2 SSD's you selected. Thank's for the advice!

My other parts; Carbide SPEC-01 Mid-Tower Gaming Case 3TB Seagate BarraCuda HDD Seasonic Prime 650w 80+ Platinum PSU EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti SC Ultra Gaming How do I pick out a NVMe M.2 SSD? I've never used one before. I would like a 500GB Samsung one. Thanks!

I'm wondering if all of these parts will work well together. pcpartpicker shows no issues or incompatibilities, but I want to make sure. I prefer to go with a Gigabyte motherboard as I've used them in my last 3 builds and have been very happy with them. I live in the U.S. and will buy the parts...
