So your saying the noise is the sound of the PWM activating as the mosfet is switching/ filtering the current and or voltage? The noise kind of sounds like a capacitor (a mosfet can sometimes be a capacitor?) which as you will know can store a charge during the AC wavelength when unused then...

First off did this only occur after the electrical work was completed? Can you explain more on what the electricians did? Im an electrician albeit im from New Zealand so our rules and regulations not to mention our power distribution network is potentially quite different. We use no nuclear...

Welcome newcomer :) Hope we can solve your problem! After you have provided what DSzymborski has asked for especially the AGE of the psu with its brand and model. (Make sure to open up your tower and include a photo of your psu or list all information on the name plate its all important)...

I agree larsv8. Unless OP has an extremely high refresh monitor at 1080p 240hz+ and the games he plays can take advantage of that. Then the 5800x will produce a considerable increase of frames for the gpu to proccess therefore increasing fps. ( Correct me if im wrong but aren't most of those...

Yes you will have a noticeable performance increase depending on graphics card! Is it worth it?? I'm not so sure. The 8700k is still a very capable card capable of pushing more than 144fps with a good gpu. My 2 cents would be to wait until the new platform with ddr5 ram is released. I myself...

At 1080p 144hz I would imagine your cpu would struggle to push 144fps to your gpu consistently based on newer games. That is if you play the newest AAA titles

What games are you trying/wanting to play.?? Some games are limited by the cpu or gpu. There will always be a bottleneck it just depends on the game. A 4 core cpu will struggle on some more demanding games. A cpu is used to pre render the frames for the gpu. If the cpu can pre render more frames...

Remove your gpu and plug in your hdmi/ dp cable from your monitor into the onboard graphics on your pc. Start it up then download DDU to remove old graphics drivers. Then reinsert your gpu and hook it up and see if this works. You might need to go into the bios and change some settings as your...

Yes generally to get ram to work in dual channel mode it needs to be in slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. Consult your motherboard manual to ensure this. All you need to do is turn your PC off completely and unplug from the wall for extra safety. Then just push the clips on top amd bottom of the ram...

I know nothing about about your fan % issues. But il comment on your PSU this needs to be changed immediately! To at least an 750w but imo an 850w gold rated psu or 1000w. Using such a low wattage psu on your build could cause components in your system to potentially be damaged.

Thanks for your time its much appreciated :)

Thank you that is very helpful. When you say move each fan behind its respective tower does that mean to move each fan to the other side of each radiator?

I'm using a i7 8700. Used to have an 8600k hence the z370 mobo! I know I dont need such a beefy cooler for this cpu but I'm planning on doing platform upgrade sometime in the near future and I'm feeling like splashing out on something nice

I'm also concerned about my memory clearance. Maybe there's another cooler I could get that would fit in that has roughly the same performance?

Hey guys / gal Would the noctua nh - d15 fit inside my fractal design define c case? My mobo is a z370 aorus ultra gaming 2.0. I have a gigabyte rtx 3070 gaming oc gpu. I have 2 x corsair vengeance rgb pro ram sticks in the 2nd and 4th slot. Thanks
