    Question Fan spins at max RPM despite CPU being idle

    Into the CPU fan header. I looked in the motherboard manual to check if it was the correct one, just to be sure. I just turned off the system, checked to see if I inserted it the right way, and it is. Ah okay, that's strange that Cam says it's at its max RPM. I actually already have AMD Ryzen...

    Question RX 580 vs GTX 1060: Power Consumption/Electricity Costs

    Ah, I forgot to say that I'll be buying a used card off of eBay or another marketplace website. I can get the RX 580 for €147 and the GTX 1060 for €158. I've seen the benchmarking videos in which it is clear that the GTX 1660 is really just a rebranded 1060, but with a slightly lower TDP. To me...

    I'm currently trying to decide which card to buy. I've watched multiple benchmarking videos and the differences aren't really significant. I guess the RX 580 is slightly better, but what bothers me is the power consumption of this card. It's said to be at least 65 watt higher than the GTX 1060...
