  1. Thermal transfer - I believe they do a small copper powder coating to help with cooling.
  2. First of all, what's your current system? Having support for external GPUs isn't widespread, you will need Thunderbolt (gen 4) connectivity most likely.
  3. Depending on the games, yes, read speed is important. Multiplayer games generally will see a reduced experience (taking too long to load, late spawns, terribad object popping, etc) On many single player games the issue won't be as bad, but some games will refuse to load and timeout if reading from a SDCard - games might crash etc.
  4. Roast them in twitter till they listen unfortunatelly only public attention tends to get this things fixed.
  5. Been out, sry for the late answer. Get an extra 2x8GB kit, then upgrade to a better 3XXX CPU within your budget. That should be a worthwhile upgrade and should fix the issues you're having.
  6. So you're using a desktop, right? You can probably just upgrade your RAM and call it a day, Anything from the last 4-5 years will use DDR4 RAM, you can get it for around 7€/GB. Give us your part list and we can tell if you need to swap anything else. You can use something like https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html to see your CPU and RAM configuration. As long as you have memory slots or are willing to get higher capacity modules you should only need that upgrade.
  7. You could also test your PSU cable, cheap ones tend to make bad contact so the PSU isn't really connected... Try using a different one if you have another laying around. Do you have a multimeter? You can check if the cable works using one (please be cautious and/or don't do this if you have no idea XD) It would be weird for your electricity to be so dirty that the PSU refuses to work, in any case, you can try using a UPS to filter out the nasty stuff and help out the clearly low tier PSU. Finally, yes, a new PSU would probably help.
  8. Editing and specially rendering are way more demanding and will burn out components way quicker than most gaming loads. Only AAA most-innovative titles (lets say, like Cyberpunk) are demanding enough to be compared to rendering. Having blackouts while rendering is waaaaaaaaay worse than a blackout while gaming. You risk corrupting your project files and losing hours of rendered content. During blackouts, your drives (HDDs and SSDs) are the weakest part, your PSU could also suffer quite a bit due to it. You should really invest in an UPS - Even a small one will be infinitelly better than not having one.
  9. If you got for cherry/clone reds, clears or blacks, you shouldn't have too many noise issues. I personally trust in Corsair's quality for keyboards. Typing this on a K68. In any case, if you have a PC Store near you (For example MediaMarkt here in EU), the best thing for you to do is phisically try out the most common switches.
  10. You're looking for a "Low Profile" or "Chiclet" keyboard. If you want a gaming one, you probably want to stick to the razer... Most of the other offerings don't have 1000Hz polling rates or are just bad...
  11. Im afraid you won't be able to do that, you need a socket LGA1700 for 11 Gen Intel CPUs, but Z490 is socket LGA1200. Edit: You would be able to! My bad, I thought that 11th Gen was LGA 1700 for some reason, but thats for the upcomming gen!. In any case, there's little reason to upgrade to 11th gen with your current CPU, in many workloads, the 10900k beats the 11900k. If you want gaming performance, your current GPU is just as good as (or better than) the new one. If you want productivity performance, you should be looking into AMD, Ryzen 9 5950X is the top of the consumer line and an absolute beast. If you want a healthy mix of both, you can stick to your current offering or swap to AMD, but NOT upgrade to the 11900K. Also, about the M.2 XPANDER-Z GEN 4 S will allow you to add more m.2 storage drives whenever you need. if you so choose to. No need to install it until you actually want to install more M.2 Drives though, you can safely keep it in a box.
  12. Check out the mobo tier list and pick one of the B550 you're comfortable with and in budget. I'd recommend picking one Tier B+ if you are not gonna OC or A+ if you're gonna try overclocking. The S and S+ tiers are really robust, but really expensive and unless you're gonna do hardcore OC or need the features explicitly, you will be fine without them. Same thing for X570, unless you need the features, theres no reason to go with it over B550. Regarding RAM, i personally just go with whatever is cheapest for a given clock and latency. I'd recommend grabbing 3200CL16 MINIMUM ram. If you wanna splurge 3600CL16 is great.
  13. EK Pads are among the best included with any OEM. You'll be fine
