    The pandemic might stop us from taking to the streets, but Pride goes much further than that and the cause of LGTBQIA+ awareness and equal rights never dies. You can make a difference from your couch with one hand on your phone and another hand holding a milkshake. Not even kidding lol

    I needed a coverup story while we figured out whether it's legal to have intercourse with powerful incorporeal beings

    That 980 Ti itself is going for like $500 in the market right now and it's a really good GPU

    Since you live in Europe, you have access to possibly THE BEST bang for buck CPU cooler in the market, made by a little Polish company named SilentiumPC. Here's the link.

    Actually, yeah I think the only real solution is to ditch the Wraith stealth and get an actual cooler.
     
    Yup
     
    BTW thank you all for the help and the quick responses!

    This might be the case yeah. A hefty undervolt could fix the issues, though does it count as overclocking for the sake of the warranty?

    Hmm. If he's experiencing shutdowns, using a more aggressive fan curve will help with those. (Keep temps under 90C).
     
    He could RMA it for that reason, but he's rolling from the Silicon Lottery again

    His board is much worse in comparison, maybe the stock voltages is higher (combined with worse silicon quality)?

    I'd say it's within variation. You just got one very low power chip and one higher power one.
     
    Make sure you use a more aggressive fan curve or a better cooler for the hotter 5600X

    3D printers are so much better when you're in need of a single of that kind of thing, since you don't need to worry about logistics or economy of scale (as much)

    If the repair center is not able to help, I'll try one of those! Thanks! It'll be the keycap for me to remember not to buy products from brands that do not offer good aftermarket support!

    I still don't think a whole keycap set is a good solution, in my mind it seems a waste of money and plastic. 
    But I listened to @Energycore's advice and called them and they said the same as the email, but provided me with the contacts to the repair center that they use. It's already closed today, but tomorrow I'll call them and try to ask for a single keycap!

    That's probably why I didn't find it on searching.
     
    There's these two

    https://www.amazon.es/Buwei-Translucent-KeyCaps-retroiluminado-Interruptor/dp/B093VJBHPN/
     
    Though I can't say how long delivery times will be. They're a bit expensive though they should be compatible.
     
    There's also the realm of artesanal keycaps that are handmade and could make for really interesting conversation pieces:
    https://www.amazon.es/kdjsic-Teclado-mecánico-KeyCaps-Keyboard/dp/B0957H25CY/
     
    And some sets of 3, 4 or 8 do exist

    Hopefully these help OP!

    If you just want the one keycap, you'll probably find someone who sells it to you if you ask around in a PC Parts marketplace. There's gotta be that kind of thing in Portugal

    No, you can at most ask them to not post as a mod, though if they continue posting we can bonk for not complying with instructions owo
