    [SOLVED] Brand new PSU fan stuck at 100% speed!?

    Hi all, I've just picked up a BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1000w Platinum PSU. I've built my PC, it's all working fine, except I noticed one fan was always really loud. I set all fans to 500rpm in the BIOS and it was still there, checked again and it's my PSU fan. It's running at 100% speed...

    Question New Ryzen 3600 - temperature spikes

    Question Help with Building a brand new computer for Gaming.

    Unless you’re doing extreme productivity workloads a 3950x will only slow you down, if you mostly game a 9900k will be more than enough to handle photo editing too. If money isn’t an option why not wait for a 9900KS? 2080ti is still a solid choice and you’ll be waiting 6+months to get your...
