    [SOLVED] Rate/suggestions on new build

    The ddr5 GSkill RAM is about ~100 more, making the choice of mobo and ram more long term sufficient, with ddr5 only going to become more and more cheap as time goes as well. 100$ to me is worth the longevity in the mobo choice of newer tech. Any reason to disagree would be welcomed

    In what way do you mean "size up?" The third fan? If so, theres a study noctua themselves released, showing a third fan had minimal difference in cooling, with significantly more noise if so

    [SOLVED] USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required

    As title says, using PCPartPicker, gives me that warning for ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F and the case being Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2. Can someone clarify what that would entail, and if that is moreso a mobo or case issue, and if one or the other should be changed out for something else. Thank you

    Question Helping decide?

    [SOLVED] No display with GTX 1070 FTW ?

    if i boot without ram, it beeps. otherwise, no beeps. i did check the psu, and mobo (mobo brand new anyways) the new mobo was bought after the second move, not prior, so doubtful it was damaged by amazon. i dont believe its the gpu, as i get new video from the mobo with gfx card removed
