Budget (including currency): $100 for cables Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hey everyone, I just built a new PC in the Xtia Xproto ATX case, and my cables are a mess. I basically just had to smash all the cables into the area in front of the power supply. I'd like to water cool both the CPU and GPU next year, so cleaning up and maximizing the space is a big priority, although not an immediate one. At first I thought I could just go online, design some cool looking cables, get a custom length and call it a day. But I was terribly wrong. I can only find custom cable length in VERY specific scenarios, mostly going by the case. I've got a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W PSU and the Xproto ATX case. There's also a 24 pin to 28 pin cable, but I'm not seeing any info on that on custom cable websites. From what I can find, the extra cables are used for voltage monitoring, but I wouldn't want to order cables from a website and get something that doesn't match. Is it possible to get custom cables and a custom length for them, while also getting this 24 to 28 pin cable? Any help is appreciated. I'm in way over my head.

Gen 3 NVMe OS & Gen 4 gaming bottleneck question.
JuicyMullet replied to JuicyMullet's topic in Storage Devices
Thank you. Does having it tied directly to the CPU affect load times or performance? -
Gen 3 NVMe OS & Gen 4 gaming bottleneck question.
JuicyMullet replied to JuicyMullet's topic in Storage Devices
This is exactly what I was after. Thank you so much. And you're right, I deal with a very few select security programs for my company, and I wasn't sure if games were dependant on the OS for any of their procedures. -
Gen 3 NVMe OS & Gen 4 gaming bottleneck question.

Thanks! -
Hey everyone, I just ordered two WD SN850x ssds and had a question about a bottleneck to my older gen 3 ssds. Is there any potential downside to placing my OS on my older Gen 3 drives and then placing all my games/mods on the newer Gen 4 ones? I actually do currently store my Steam/Epic/GoG download files on my gaming SSD, but now that I'm going to more than double my speed I didn't want to have any sort of a bottleneck between my gaming drives and my OS drive for the latest games coming out. So OS on Gen 3 and Games on Gen 4 no problem? Or potential problem for speed? -Don't know if it matters, but I'm going to be placing all 4 drives on the MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk Motherboard. Thanks.

Budget (including currency): $400 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hey everyone, So prices almost seem too good to be true for SSDs right now. I've got a new GPU, and this year I'm looking to upgrade my MoBo, SSD, CPU and RAM. M.2 prices are insanely low right now, and I was wanting everyone's opinion of if I should just go ahead and get a new Gen 4 M.2 while the prices are so low, or wait for a Gen 5. There doesn't appear to be that much of a real world difference in the two, but I'm not overly technical about such things, so I wouldn't want to miss out on any huge gaming benefit when it comes to Gen 5 if it really is that much better. So do I spring for the Gen 4, or wait for more Gen 5s to come out this year? My main concern is gaming loading speeds and as much storage as possible.

Questions about quiet fans and how to control fan RPM

Nice! Those fans come in black too. Thank you for the link to the software! -
Questions about quiet fans and how to control fan RPM

Budget (including currency): Just fans. As long at they're under $50 a piece Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Anything I run Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hey everyone, I have a case called The Beast from Monster Labo, which usues a completely fanless design to passively cool the CPU and GPU, but it can only cool the GPU up to 250 W passively. If you run 2 fans as exhaust at the top, you can cool up to 320 W, and my goal is to cool around 300 W. In the video that LTT did with the case below, if you go to 20:04 in the video, you can see where he adds fans to the case and runs them at 800-850 RPM and is able to achieve the 320 watts of cooling for the GPU. So my question is, what are the most silent 140 mm fans out there that can still move a decent amount of air, and how in the world do you just set a fan to run at a steady RPM? I have an ASUS MoBo and for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell it to just stay at a certian RPM for the fans. Thanks for any help or advice!

Hey everyone, I'm paying for a 300 Mbps service through Spectrum, but my router/modem is only capable of outputting 200 Mbps. In the future, I would like to get ethernet port drops though my house, so I want to make sure I buy the right equipment so (somewhat) futureproof it (I know futureproofing isn't a thing in tech, I just want what I buy to be able to last for a long time). We have a standard Netgear C3700 router/modem that I purchased like 7 years ago, and it's been fantastic, but we use a Google Wi-Fi mesh router system attached to it for our main connection that's also been fantastic. It's not capable of Wi-Fi 6, but I've heard the newer model will be. So my question is, if I want to potentially get ethernet ports installed though the house in the future, but need to upgrade now to get the speed that I'm paying for, what would everyone recommend? Do I just get a modem and plug the Google router into it, leaving no ports available, or do I buy a router/modem combo that leaves ports open for a tech to install multiple patch cables? Would the tech use a switch to connect the modem and router to? Sorry. I only have a rough understanding of how home networking is set up besides what I have.

GPU clock speed crashing (pictures included)
JuicyMullet replied to JuicyMullet's topic in Troubleshooting
I hope your right. I followed the past two years very closely. Sorry you had to wait that long. If it's a reference, that's fine. You need to strip the case off anyways, and I'm most likely going to have to tone it down a bit (although hopefully not too much) in Afterburner. I don't come to this forum often, only when I KNOW I need a solution because I can't figure it out after multiple days of troubleshooting. You've been one of the nicest people I've encountered on any forum. Thank you for that. Oh, and here's the video: -
GPU clock speed crashing (pictures included)
JuicyMullet replied to JuicyMullet's topic in Troubleshooting
It definitely is interesting, but for what it does, it's fantastic. LTT did a video on it and when they added a fan, they got it to cool 320 W from a 3090, so I'm hoping the 4070 or 4080 will be able to be cooled if I add two fans. And that's a GREAT question. I know I'll have to get a new spreader, but I have no idea which one. They don't exactly have an order process on their website for when you get a new graphics card for a new spreader, and most of the spreaders are custom made by EK Waterblocks for the cards. I'm honestly not even sure who to ask, but I figured when the official 4000 series announcement was made, I would just reach out to both of them and see what they said.
