It will work with the motherboard. I'm just not sure about the CPU. I would be running one RAM or the other, not mixing them.

Amazon sent me the wrong RAM. The CPU is rated up to DDR4-2933, but the Asus Z490-E motherboard is rated up to 4600. I previously had 3200 installed and it worked fine, but I'm not sure if 3600 is too high. I wanted this: DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MT/s CL16-18-18-38 And got this: DDR4 RAM...

So if you can lower your temps by 12 degrees and the noise doesn't bother you, no harm done? I can't hear them at all. 3 fans in an Asus TUF 3080 OC.

It instantly reduced my idle GPU temp by 12 degrees. Went from 45 C to 33. Is this putting too much stress on the fans? Why do so many people complain about high GPU temp when this seems like such an easy fix?

Never mind

Ok, looks like I don't need this at the moment.

From the Asus site. So apparently at least the GPU will be able to utilize 4.0?

So upgrading the Z490-E BIOS to accept an 11900K wouldn't allow you to take advantage of 4.0? https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z490-e-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios Seems borderline pointless to put a PCIe 4.0 capable CPU in the motherboard if it won't be able to do...

What about game performance? My graphics card is PCIe 4.0. If it won't really change much I won't worry about the upgrade.

I just saw my Asus Z490-E motherboard has a BIOS update that allows it to accept 11th gen Intel CPUs, so it got me thinking. The upgrade will cost around $750. The read/write speeds with the Samsung 980 PRO m.2 on a gen 4 system will be about twice as fast as my 970 EVO Plus on a gen 3 system...

Everything supports Aura Sync. I was just concerned with how compatible their wiring would be even though everything is 3-pin 5v. Probably a stupid concern...just don't wanna fry anything. I thought about getting a SATA powered hub but shouldn't need it. Plus it would take up extra room and...

I have 3 Cooler Master MF120 Halo fans that will be daisy chained to the same 3-pin argb header. Could I add the AIO fans' 3-pin argb cable to that chain, even though they're Thermaltake? That would be 3 Cooler Master fans and 2 Thermaltake in the same argb chain to the header. My two argb...

The first 2 pictures are the same cables from different angles. That's what was plugged into the GPU.

I recently picked up a Lian Li Strimer Plus 8-pin. For those who don't know, it's basically an RGB extension cable that connects to the GPU, then to the existing 8 pin cable that's attached to the PSU. As shown in the pics, my 8 pin cable has 16 wires per connector for a total of 32. The...
