  1. That 700MB is just from whichever app that row is for. Your second screenshot shows the actual overall RAM usage.
  2. 4GB RX 470/480, or either GTX 1060. 980, I believe is a little over the top for that need. However, the 3GB 1060 may see some issues sooner than the other options due to its VRAM amount, plus it isn't actually a GTX 1060.
  3. First, read @aisle9's post Then you can look for that in your BIOS.
  4. That temperature should not be reached at stock speed, but the BIOS could have a thermal limit that you can set.
  5. With any luck that motherboard may be able to be combo'd with the processor for a discount as well.
  6. On reference? That shouldn't be possible. Aftermarket ones tend to run in the 70-83 area under load. I believe reference is around high 80's and throttles at 90 or so. All the temps are safe, it's just about what you're OK with in temps and sound.
  7. The reference card. I know that many of the RX cards can be undervolted to help with temperatures, but the heatsink used on the reference is not nearly as large as the aftermarket ones. So, no matter what, the reference or the Sapphire Platinum will be hotter. Your best bet is finding someone who has the reference style RX 470.
  8. I use two sets at work. Neither have broken yet and they're mostly OK with me. My work is in a lab, so nothing extreme. MPOW These I like more than the others. They fit and sound better. Aukey And these are not so great with my ears. Plus have a thinner sound.
  9. For the RX cards, most people tend toward the MSI Gaming X, Sapphire Nitro+, or the XFX GTR. If any of those are in your price range, go for it. And there is no Founder's Edition. That's some silly term used to charge more.
  10. Rocket Jump Ninja on Youtube tests a lot of mice. Mostly in relation to FPS use. But, that channel may help you out.
  11. Well, you have no PCI-e slot for a graphics card and that board only supports up to third-gen i5. There isn't anything you can do.
  12. Is it possible that the speakers run on USB instead of a traditional audio controller and that the USB controller just isn't good? Because I thought I had heard that this MBP has issues running some USB devices concurrently.
  13. Right. And at 4K anti-aliasing really isn't needed either.
  14. A TV will be 60Hz, yes. Its those higher refresh rates like 120 that are fake. The main problem with a TV is getting it to cooperate with a computer and the input lag that TV's inherently have. If it has a game mode, that helps.
  15. I have the corsair fans which I have on my H80i. The included ones were way too loud. For me, they're quiet up to 80%. But I use a splitter and at that they're reported to be spinning at 1100RPM. So, there could very well be better options.
