    Question SP120 Led Wonky performance

    I recently bought a sp120 red led as a front intake fan and its rpm is kinda jittery. On initial startup it shoots up to 1650 then after sometime it drops to 1480 and increases to 1550 and then drops back again and keeps repeating this. I also have a Coolermaster fan but that isn't doing this...

    Question Why my CPU usage is at 100% while I'm playing Rainbow Six Siege?

    Hello everyone. I've been playing siege since 2017 and I really love the game, but the last 7-8 months my game has poor fps and that is because my cpu is at 100% all the time. My gpu is the gtx 1070 and cpu is fx 9370. When I bought the game that wasn't the case though, I was playing with 100+...

    Question CPU cooler fan position

    Hello my current cpu cooler fan(conical 92mm-120mm) is damaged and I am in search for a better cooler like the hyper 212 red led. Now the problem is that the cpu cooler is bigger than my case can accomodate(150mm) so I have to mount it horizontally bottom to up exhaust rather than the...
