    The extra fan can help but it's probably a small difference.
  2. WoodenMarker
    You could just ignore the extra Delta fan so there shouldn't be need to daisy chain to power fans but your can do so if it makes cable management easier. Probably worth doing for the argb.

    All of those are normal. If you aren't experiencing performance issues, don't worry about it.

    The motherboard has 5x fan headers: - 1 x CPU Fan Connector (4-pin)*** - 1 x CPU/Water Pump Fan Connector (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control)**** - 3 x Chassis/Water Pump Fan Connectors (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control)***** That should be plenty for the fans as long as cables reach.

    Top exhaust is easy to install and hard to go wrong with since the case fans are preinstalled as front intake.

    Your temps are normal since this isn't idling. What are load temps? Is the cpu throttling or are you encountering performance issues?

    Have you tried using the Quiet fan preset loaded in the motherboard fan drop down menu?

    It's already in Tier 6. I've updated the naming so that it's a bit more clear.

    Thanks for the links. Would like to see more reviews / benchmarks for the coolers before adding but my guess would be Tier 3 for A620 and maybe Tier 2 for the A720.

    Does the motherboard have dc fan control? If so, just plug the fans into the motherboard. Use plain fan splitters that don't use auxiliary power of needed. If not, you'll need pwm fans if you want to control fans from the pwm fan hub.

    What case and ram are you using?

    What case are you using? Where are you shopping / located? Make sure to quote a post or tag a member or they won't get a notification you replied to them.

    System specs?

    The stock cooler is fine unless you want something quieter.

    Thermalright Assassin X Refined SE would also work: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/r6qrxr/thermalright-assassin-x-refined-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ax120se-white

    Fan control is usually done from the motherboard. Depending on the motherboard, fan control can be possible through pwm or dc / variable voltage. The Cooler Master Sickleflow 120 is decent. I don't see many in-depth reviews on the Antec P12 PWM though.

    The SE-224 XTS seems to perform a bit better. Both are great options and will easily cool the 5600.

    Readings with different utilization aren't comparable. Look at readings under a synthetic load instead.

    Not needed. Cases aren't sealed and any excess airflow will find its way through openings. Intake and exhaust fans can also be more or less effective depending on the airflow grill / obstruction.
  20. WoodenMarker
    Probably Tier 1 but need more benchmark results to confirm before adding to the list.

    Server heatsinks tend to be pretty dense in terms of fin density, heat pipes, or vapor chambers. In general, an additional tower is more beneficial than an additional fan. Heatsinks are designed to not impede airflow so the small increase in airflow from an additional fan isn't as impactful as doubling the surface area even if it relies on the single fan.

    Did you follow the manual for Q-Flash Plus instructions? The bios file should be renamed to a specific file name and the file name might be case sensitive. I think it's GIGABYTE.BIN

    Does disabling Reflex fix the issue? Why use the studio driver instead of the game ready driver?
  24. WoodenMarker
    Yes, it's listed as compatible on Noctua's compatibility list: https://ncc.noctua.at/coolers/NH-U12S-DX-3647-26/cpu/Intel?q=8124

    Are you saying that it boot loops with the 1050 ti or with the 1070 ti in another machine?
