Most motherboards anymore do have 2 m.2 slots. Anyway, generally speaking, just buy a 120/250GB NVMe SSD (Think Samsung 970 Pro/Evo) as your boot drive with a few choice games, and a high capacity sata-based SSD (Think Samsung 860 EVO) for bulk storage. Optane doesn't have large enough capacities in the consumer space to make them a replacement for normal SSDs just yet. They're better for accelerating HDDs, but do very little in a SSD system.

Honestly, go with the HD 6xx. Having heard both the K712 and the HD 650, the Sennheisers generally just sound much better. The AKG house sound trends too much towards the high end, being extremely analytical and cold. The 650s- which the 6xx are essentially a clone of- just sound better because they're warmed up around the bottom where the K712 doesn't have any presence. To be completely honest, the K712 might be .02% better for super sound-whoring, but generally speaking the HD 6xx will be 100x better for literally everything else. Not to belittle, but especially since you asked the question, I'm going to assume that you're on the casual side of audiophile, where the 6xx's signature with more warmth in the lows will appeal significantly more to you.

The phone may be able to be used on both carriers, I don't honestly know, as my knowledge of the subject is several years old at this point. I do know that all major US carriers use the same-ish LTE bands in the GSM spectrum, so it would be cross compatible on that front, but 3G and voice, etc. may bring issues with it. That being said, it should be noted that most phone manufacturers make (made if this information is actually outdated and most phones are cross-compatible now) 4+ different SKUs of the exact same device- one with Verizon CDMA bands, one that supported both AT&T and T-Mobile GSM bands, a Sprint CDMA model, and several international models which would typically run GSM.

Your problems probably come from the fact that AT&T and Verizon work off of different wireless technologies. Verizon uses CDMA bands and AT&T uses GSM, which generally prevents devices that aren't explicitly carrier agnostic from being used across different networks.

The FTW3 looks like it was binned more aggressively, where the Hybrid looks like it wasn't binned much and just got a AIO slapped on it, which are pretty cheap. So either one *looks* to have "$120 worth of extas" if spending a bunch of money for higher clocks is in your wheelhouse, and is kind of industry standard. Aggressively binned 1080s were impinging on 1080Ti prices when the Ti was launched if I remember correctly, and this has been the case for some years.m

Really all it comes down to is following the Tech Industry for years and years.Linus used to be a higher up sales or marketing director at NCIX before he spun-off Linus Tech Tips and has been a bit of a nerd since his middle and high school days. There's no magic bullet for learning everything about this industry, just paying attention to events like CES and watching videos like Gamer's Nexus that really go more in depth about this type of thing.

You can also get an discreet fan controller. Typically they connect to a PWM header on your motherboard and then powered externally by a molex power cable.

I have also had this problem, down to the cancellations in the past.

Believe it or not, its probably going to be cheaper to buy a hybrid card. The EVGA Hybrid costs $809 USD on Newegg, while the MSI Armor card costs $735 USD on Newegg and the G10/12 costs about $30, and the cheapest AIO coolers cost about $50 USD. All said, cooling your MSI card is going to cost you the same, if not more than buying one of the Hybrid cards.

You need to compare them based on price. Sure comparing apples to apples is nice, but comparing their R5 quad-core that costs sub $200 to a $300 top of the line i7 isn't even close to a fair comparison.

Vessel Username: Fennrarr My favorite videos are definately the Hardpipe WC Buildlog and the [https://www.vessel.com/videos/JYZEYDYx0] and the SLI Titan X benchmark video [https://www.vessel.com/videos/JemZ8O7Hy]. Thanks a lot Linus for all the content you put out, and it really means a lot that you are willing to give away your own personal rig.
