Yes I remember my P3 500 MHz that could do 1GHz.
 
The reason I think is the binning process and how far Intel and AMD push their CPUs is much more than previous generations. The more current generation stuff is pushed much closer to the limit than older generations were so you aren't going to see the large percent overclocks like you used to.

Lubuntu runs really well on potato hardware.

Wait it worked tysm it was the ram wasn't in enough.

This could be referring to that fact you may need to update the BIOS on that motherboard so it supports Ryzen 5000 series.
 
The Hyper 212 Evo is more than enough for your 5600x. It doesn't pull a lot of power. I'd say at 100% utilization it will stay under 65C while still being pretty quiet.
 
Edit: for the GPU, just using the 1050ti while you wait for prices to come down at least a bit would be your best option. GPU prices are through the roof, so if you can get by for a while then you should.

GPU driver issue? After login, it usually initiates the drivers for most peripherals. 

Q-Flash Plus Button -
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the Q-Flash Plus port, and then you can now flash the BIOS automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. The QFLED will flash when the BIOS matching and flashing activities start and will stop flashing when the BIOS flashing is complete.

Have you try only 1 stick of ram?
 
Also I would try a different kit ram before ruling out the motherboard.

They are all meaningless. Look for benchmarks of the applications or games you want to use

The founders card will usually run a little warmer. Just do some research and look up reviews, since they have actually tested the cards.

Better ram, better priced SSD for the same speed and warranty, I also added a PSU. You could get the Asus TUF or Gigabyte Aorus Pro to lower the cost.

didnt fortnite die a good ~6-7 months ago?

So at least for my laptops, they seem to intake a lot of their air from through the keyboard. I would use MSI afterburner or similar to log the temperatures and monitor thermal throttling. 

So, we all know how iOS has a battery health status in it's settings to tell you how good the battery is. I'm running a Pixel 2 XL, Android 10. Is there any software that can get an accurate or at least close enough estimate to tell me how good my battery health is? I'm aware that I have to charge it up completely and let it die a couple of times.

90 is "fine" too; won't throttle.
 
Most laptops hang around that temperature range as well.
 
I'm not saying it's GOOD. But it won't kill it. Not immediately anyway.
 
I didn't even try with the stock cooler on my 8700; got an Arctic Freezer 33 for $24 and it works great. But I don't have a warranty to worry about either.

Nobody can tell which is better.
It depends on the fan blades, how they're shaped, and how much the fan is obstructed by the grill or mesh
Some are more tuned for static pressure (for use with radiators and so on) and some are more  optimized for air flow (mounting on cases)
Ideally, you look up the datasheet of the fan and you see there the CFM (cubic feet per minute, amount of airflow). For moving air in case, you care less about air pressure which is listed in mm H20 or something like that.
 
Usually bigger diameters means less noise, but anything else depends on factors mentioned above.

Welp the top cover would need replacing as well. Honestly the laptop is more than 6 years old at this point so it is probably time for an upgrade.

That's usually highlighted in your manual where NVMe usage disables a certain SATA port or two.

You'll have all the connections you need. Just follow the manual.

If the stepping (or revision) remains the same, then no. However if the stepping changes over time then yes, it might make a difference. Perhaps the best example of this was the Core 2 Quad Q6600 which started out on the B3 stepping and later went to the G0 stepping. The G0 was generally known to be a better clocking chip compared to B0.

I want to say those use BTX which means you're pretty well SOL.

I would save that 75 bucks and put it towards a GPU upgrade from that 650ti

I think i will go with the 580 for freesync, amd link, and it seems to be better by a little bit 

Yea it can, but there is normally almost always a better gpu you can buy.
