replaced it finally with Arctic Liquid freezer iii and WOW, max temp is now under 65... crazy difference

its just an rgb hub its from the aio and this fan set https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HwGbt6/nzxt-f120-rgb-5018-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-rf-r12tf-w1. So would I need multiple spliters ?

Got 4th back, nice

Let's gooooooo!

Does it come with just an RGB hub or is it also a fan hub? I have seen RGB hubs that you also plug the fans into and then that has a single output. That would work as a fan splitter. A fan splitter can put multiple fans onto the same header. You just don't want to go over 1 amp total per header, preferably spread the current out across all headers evenly. You can look at the back of the fan to get the rating. https://a.co/d/0BhZShF

I am not sure if i want to switch to an entirely new platform. I think I am heavily biased around AM4 and how great it is. Do you think it is worth to switch to Intel? most of my knowledge is centered around AM4 and AM5, so I am kinda clueless about intel CPUs and especially their motherboards. I also heard that LGA 1700 is considered a dead platform like AM4 or am I incorrect?

Steve, who wrote that article, has it in video form too. Its certainly a topic with a lot of nuance that's misunderstood quite a bit.

It's because every single freaken youtuber on earth keeps explaining bottlenecks horribly and lmg is no exception. whats worse is then people here confirm the wrong explanation of it. just a never ending cycle.

Im so sorry im new to building. How would I put 3 fans on one chassis header? and then would I plug in the rgb hub? I'm so thankful for your help this just has been a lot and all over the place.

All the movies that i download are 24fps i think , how can i find movies with 60 fps? I dont see this option

Thank you! Now that you mention it, I remember seeing these in a LTT video at some point.

Do you have more information? Motherboard? Exact GPU? Exact Mobo? Is the 8 pin header the power header?

I will try it thanks

If you want a gpu now, buy one. If you don't, don't. If you are always waiting for the next best thing, you will never buy. Also, new card launches are usually very low volume and top of the line cards (think 5090 and 5080) that will sell out so you will be waiting longer than you probably think.

I have a RTX 4060 OC edition everytime I decide to plug the 8 pin into the gpu it turns every fan on my pc to max speed

10 cores for productivity, 12gb of vram will help with editing i believe, if i'm wrong just put the 4060 back, dram ssd, cheaper yet still slick black case PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2hCbgB CPU: Intel Core i5-12600KF 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor ($152.16 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($33.90 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock Z690 Pro RS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Amazon) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($32.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Acer Predator GM7000 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($84.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive ($39.18 @ Amazon) Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 12 GB Video Card ($289.00 @ MSI) Case: Phanteks XT PRO ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS GX 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($84.99 @ Newegg) Monitor: KOORUI 24E3 24.0" 1920 x 1080 165 Hz Monitor ($107.90 @ Amazon) Total: $995.09 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-05-07 19:46 EDT-0400

You have 1 cpu fan header and 4 chassis fan headers. If you have 10 total fans, I expect 3 to go to CPU header (with pump going to pump), then 3 to go to chassis header 1. That leaves you with 3 fan headers. You should get a splitter and you'll be golden. Or you can just put one of your intake fans on cpu opt header and you don't need a splitter. Up to you.

I personally find 2 tb to be a good baseline nowadays.

Increasing the resolution does not make you magically need less CPU power... IDK why some people think otherwise. You can test this yourself in some games like COD where you get info such as CPU time in the realtime graphs when enabled. You can change resolution and pretty sure it won't change to a degree that, CPU like won't matter. This whole ideology probably only truly applies to a case where you get like, the 40 FPS in that link... but then, what gives? Whether you're CPU or GPU-necked, at the point of getting shit FPS, I don't think it really matters since the game then plays like shit anyways.

idk about tearing that might be actually a monitor issue... but that say 24 fps movies don't look smooth on a high refresh monitor is normal, depending on how the monitor handles it the results could be really poor. just reminded me why i only watch 60fps content on my pc (30fps is alright too, if no other option)

Agreed, However before all updates it was good like normal tv before till now it's broken slow asf. Nvidia is probably best choice for while. Hope i won't have to suffer again.

Are you sending the magic packet while your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi?

I plan to build in the h9 flow. It already comes with 4 fans, but I ordered a NZXT karken elite 360 rgb for the top of the case and 3 more nzxt 120 m rgb fans to put at the bottom as intake for the case. This totals to 10 fans, but now im worried on how I will connect them all and make sure they all get power. The aio and fan kit comes with their own rbg fan hubs holding 3 fans each. My motherboard is ROG strix b650-A. Please can someone help me make sure I can power these fans? any recommendations on how to power them all? I'm pretty sure the mobo cant fit power 10 fans alone. here is the mobos manual: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/Socket AM5/ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI/E20268_ROG_STRIX_B650-A_GAMING_WIFI_UM_WEB.pdf
