1150 RPM on average min 900 max1250

I decided to switch out my 2 front 3 pin 120mm fans for 2 Arctic 140mm 4 pin PWM fans. I thought the bigger fans would run cooler and quieter, automatically with PWM. However the noise is considerable (like a jet plane). I can see and hear the fans are changing speed due to PWM, but I dont...

yes I run at ultra settings with exact same kit

I am installing three new 4 pin PWM case fans. Can I daisy chain them or does each one have to be connected to a motherboard header?

The 1080 is a beast of a card (a rtx 2080 is only around 25% faster in games which is amazing to say it's 4 years old View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCf8dumE_MM ), so the cpu is probably your bottleneck. For value for money get a b450 and ryzen 3600

People with b450 & zen2 are unlikely to upgrade to zen3 anyway. A 17% IPC gain in the new generation is likely to have negligible increased performance results

If a 2070 can run it no doubt a GTX 1080 can run it. Don't believe the Unreal/PS 5 hype

1070 is still a good card. will work fine with a 3600

So I have a 3600x , eveything runs fine and all drivers are up to date, using the 1usmus power plan. I realise all cores do not boost to the advertised 4400mhz however I get different reports bertween Ryzen Master and HWINFO. You will see from the sceenshots that Ryzen Master reports my peak...

Poor availability is more likely due to the coronavirus than anything else - production has slowed down and parts aren't getting shipped

Not really as socket AM5 and DDR5 is due out at the end of next year so might as well get a cheap b450 for now

Because the same load is shared across 8 cores instead of 6 - total power consumption remains the same

Depends whether or not 3xxx series comes with HDMI 2.1 - If not that will be a dealbreaker for a lot of people

managed to free up 40gb and no difference on the test

They are supposed to be cheaper because they will be on the 7nm process which is cheaper to manufacture, whilst being more powerful and less heat
