I heard that the GPU bracket that comes with the MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio is basically useless. Does anyone know of a video card bracket or stand that would work for it? I have included a picture of the inside of my PC (yes it needs to be cleaned) just to show how much space I have in my case...

I ordered a Lancool 2 Mesh Performance case, and I would like to know if the stock case fans are good quality or should I replace them with Noctua case fans? Will I see better temperatures and/or noise levels with Noctua case fans? Thanks.

For example, I am getting a Ryzen 9 5900x, and I am putting a Noctua NH-D15S on it since I will be running it at stock clocks (3.7 - 4.8 GHz). From everything I have read, the NH-D15S can easily run that CPU at stock clocks with superb temperatures even with the most demanding games. Also, I...

I just ordered a Lancool 2 Mesh Performance case. From what I have read and heard, the two 140mm fans that come with the Performance version are higher quality and push more air than three 120mm fans that come with the RGB version, hence the name "Performance". Also, the two 140mm fans will most...

Please help me select fans for my Lian Li Lancool II Mesh Performance build. I read that Noctua fans are the best and I like the Chromax Black Noctua fans. I need to know exactly which fans to buy to replace the stock fans of my case, and I need to know exactly what size fans, how fans many I...

Can I put only two sticks of 32GB RAM (64 GB total) into an Asus ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) motherboard w/ R9 5900x CPU? Or do I need to fill all 4 RAM slots for optimal performance? The RAM I am planning to use is Crucial Ballistix 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) DDR4-3600 Desktop Gaming...

It seems I was mistaken in my previous response. When comparing a MSI Suprim to a ROG Strix OC, the Strix OC is the better quality card. Asus uses the higher quality MLCCs rather than the lower quality POSCAPS (which MSI uses). Also, the Strix OC is a slightly faster card that actually runs...

What would be the best RAM for my Gaming PC with Ryzen 9 5900x CPU + Rog Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard + RPG Strix GTX 3090 OC graphics card? And how many GBs of RAM would be optimal? Also, would I want 2 sticks or 4 sticks of RAM? Thanks.

In a comparison between these two graphics cards, I read that the MSI 3090 Suprim runs hotter than the Asus 3090 ROG Strix OC, but the MSI card has less coil whine. Also, I read that the MSI card uses cheaper components (POSCAPs) whereas the Asus card has higher-end components (MLCCs). And I...

My monitor is a 27" LG 4k IPS 60Hz. I want all the games I play to be super smooth including graphically demanding games like Assassins Creed Valhalla.

Opinions? Thanks.

Thank you. I got the Cooler Master H500M. After researching all of them, it looked to be the best of the bunch.

Please recommend me a quiet good cooling (air-flow) case for MSI 3080 Suprim build. I am willing to spend up to $400 on the case if needed. No water-cooling is being used. My motherboard is ATX size and I only have one SSD drive and one HDD. Thank you very much.
