I'm doing a high airflow case and making sure I do 3 140mm front intake fans, one 140mm rear exhaust with another 140mm exhaust fan top/rear. I'm using a Noctua NH-U14S with 2 fans installed on it. By having more intake than exhaust it creates positive air pressure to lessen the amount of...

I would need to know other factors like what kind of a case it is and your fan configuration? If it's hot with one card it might be equally hot with the next if the setup isn't right. I'm moving from an old Corsair 550D made for silent operation but only has 2 120mm fans in the front to my new...

Might want to try reseating it if you think the thermals are bad, how did you put the paste on? Also what case are you in? If you said it before I missed it. In a tight case and improper fan layout/airflow it can have an effect on thermals for both the CPU and GPU, so it's something to be...

You don't have to raid 2 NVME PCIE-4's to get benefit of 2 distinct NVME PCIE-4 drives. I have one with 500gb for my OS, and I'm waiting for prices to come down a bit to get a 2TB one for my other 4.0 slot. More competition will fix the prices a bit as there is a premium at the moment. Also...

Thanks, that's good enough for me. :)

Just to be clear then, just logging into my MS account means that I wouldn't have to register a new key even if I have it installed on two machines? Although I am going to wipe that old drive once I sort it out. I'm only verifying it because I thought, or at least in previous versions it...

I wasn't sure how to word this so let me explain. I have a PC I built 7 years ago, upgrading now, I have Windows 10 Pro on this one, but, I'm about to make a change to a new rig, once I get around to putting it together. Previously when I upgraded I didn't have to buy a new license because I...

Thanks, I'm going to, but not quite yet. Don't know what to do with the case. Don't know that I have all the parts to it. Might just see what they'll give me for it at the scrap metal place that front panel is brushed aluminum and it's not light.

I don't know where to post this but being that the CPU is the primary component I thought I'd ask here before trying to sell anything in the Classifieds section. I want to sell all three together as a barebones starter for someone because I don't think the mobo will sell singularly, nor the...

100C is too high, however, before jumping straight into a new cooler, you could try reseating the cooler you already have, sometimes the thermal paste isn't applied properly or is getting old. Another possibility is that the fans in your case aren't speeding up to remove enough heat. Not...

As another poster said, nothing to fix so far... that's actually a little cool of a running temp. Mine hits 75C under 100% load, I'm due to reseat it which should knock it back down to 70C under 100% load. I haven't taken my air cooler off in 3 years so the thermal paste has got to be a bit...

I just bought a couple new hard drives, after I install them I want to take a lot of time to sort through an old external 4TB drive another 3TB HDD with external enclosure and my current 500gb SSD containing lots of duplicate content due to backups here, backups there, backups all over the...

Thing is this is a PCI-e 4 drive, but I'll be installing it on a mobo with only a 3.0 capacity. I know I'm writing this in a confusing way. I wanted this drive because I'll eventually upgrade to a new mobo where I can use the PCI-e 4.0 capability and at that point I will look for a mobo that...

I asked this on the product page of Amazon for the M.2 I bought and had hoped Sabrent would have answered, as it stands I've gotten two answers from others, one saying you MUST have a heatsink, the other says they have 2 M.2 drives on PCI-3 slots and have no problems without the heatsink. As...

The receipts will be easy but I need to dig in my closet to find the box it came in just to see if I still have the second clip, but I could swear I only always only had one. It's been years since I bought/opened it though so maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy. Thanks for the info though, I will...
