You're right, my bad. Gen 5. So I have to force the card to gen 3 before I take out the cable & insert the card directly into the board? Then I change it to 5.0 from BIOS?

Question about removing a 3.0 riser cable that came with a vertical mount that Im taking out of my new setup. The board that Im using as of 3-4 weeks ago is a Z690 MSi Edge DDR4 which is a Gen.5 board so Id like to take advantage of it. Question is, am I going to run into problems? I've heard...

Thanks for the input. Im decently tech savvy but certain things like this I have no knowledge of. Much <3

I have a stupid question about the audio chip on motherboards. This is the only place I could think to post it. The question... When do you actually use the audio chip? Im guessing when you plug your headphones straight into the back of the mobo(or into the front of your case) it most...

Still looking for any info on the caps ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 (FULL Review) - YouTube Timestamped this vid for anyone looking into this board for gaming like me

I havnt heard much about the board being problematic but for MicroCenter to sell them for $70 with any 12th gen... I thought there might be something I wasnt aware of.....Maybe its just overstocked? lol It seems from the reviews to be a well-rounded board. It was a top charter on HARDWARE...

Weird question, but does anyone know what caps the Z690 Asus TUF gaming D4 uses? I like to know as much about a product as possible before purchasing & some seem to think theyre pretty low grade caps Buildzoid seems to think theyre APAQ...which are what Asus usually uses on their cheaper boards...

Kool. Thanks. I bought a set of these so if anyone is interested, I'll check back after I get them in & use em for afew days. I'll log everything on HWinfo

Thanks fellas. Similar to what I was thinking. The comments on the Etsy page that sell these particular ducts say they actually bring down temps a fare amount. What do you think about the question regarding pressure? Do you think these ducts would add pressure as intake?

Simple question, how much of an impact do you think this mod would make on cooling? Does anyone have this mod or something like it? Also, does anyone think this would increase or maybe even possibly decrease the amount of static pressure a fan has? I would think that since the duct sits flush...

Yeah I wasnt thinking about replacing the putty or even taking the card apart further than the backplate since that can come off without disassembling the card... I had no idea these things ran so hot...really making me rethink actually wanting it. I got lucky on a shuffle the other day...Only...

Yeah I shouldnt have mentioned voltage so much. 2,375HMz tho? Isnt that like insane high? Arnt most 3080s memory clocked @ 1,800-1,900? This card is just dumping massive amounts of heat into my case...Its making my eye twitch looking at my HWinfo.... Guess Im going to have to put an old AMD fan...

3080.....That has to be a joke...So I have to run my memory at ridiculous speeds & voltage? xD Sad times

TY for the reply! Yeah I read that 80s is normal temps for these chips. Nonetheless Id like to turn my frequency down to normal 3080 type frequency(1800) I have thermal OCD about hardware & dont need my memory running so high. So far both EVGA Precision X1 & MSIAfterburner have not let me turn...

I just got this card the other day & for some reason the memory is tuned ridiculously high. Im seeing temps into the 80s on my GDDR6X. With the case I have...with the amount of fresh air Im pumping into this beast...that is an absurd temperature How do I turn this down? Doesnt seem like...
