That's a bit dated. I have an RTX 3070 with 8GB. Runs everything on Max/Ultra. It came with my rig. Sadly, video cards are expensive right now.

The board supports 4 PWM fans. I have a 120MM PWM in the front for intake, and a 92MM 3 pin for exhaust and one on the CPU heatsink. No biggie. There are a tonne of excellent 92MM fans that I can drop in when needed. The CPU heatsink itself seems pretty nice. :)

It's a "Blizzard" 894B 10 generic motherboard that came with my HP ENVY TE02-0000i (3Y3Q8AV). And even with the front panel off, it looks fine. Just black metal with some holes, and the 120MM is behind a grill. It actually looks better! But, like I said, temps are great now, no issues at...

I fixed it!! The front panel of my case only had these little slits to bring air in. I took it off, and now the 120MM intake fan is fully exposed. My CPU doesn't get any hotter than 65 - 70C while intensely gaming! :D

I currently have a standard 92MM 3 pin fan on my CPU heatsink that spins at full speed. Honestly, temps are great since I removed the front of my case to expose the 120MM fan that was behind it (cheap HP case). But, would a Noctua PWM fan work better? Is it worth swapping it out? Thanks!!

This is my CPU cooler: I actually thought about getting this to replace the CPU cooler's stock fan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z4JZPKN/?coliid=ITRXBD6669V1G&colid=1YMQT4MD7NHUB&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it Would that make a difference? I did see a really nice Corsair 4000D...

My case has two 120mm mounts, one that blows down directly over the CPU heatsink, and one in the front that helps cool the video card. I want to replace them with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043GKY1W/?coliid=I26ZWCFJG1AEAL&colid=1YMQT4MD7NHUB&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it All my...

k, cool. I appreciate the info!

Gotcha. Then, once the new one is in and Windows installed, I can pop the old one back in and wipe it for storage?

Cool, thanks! I downloaded and created a Windows 11 install media on my USB drive. :D

Honestly, I actually like Windows 11. :cool:

Nice. That's what I figured. It is FULL of superfluous HP junk. lol

I want to make the current (and slower) 1TB NVMe as secondary storage, and then put in a 2TB 980 Pro Samsung Gen 4 for the system drive. :)

I have an HP Envy pre-rebuilt system. It had Windows 11 Home pre-installed on a 1TB NVMe M.2 drive. So the question is, can I remove that drive completely, pop in a brand new one, and do a fresh install from my USB drive Windows 11 media that I created? I extracted the original product key...

Okay thanks for the feedback! :)
