Now that my 1070 is retired, I finally got replacement fans for it. Up until now it's just had a pair of 92mm Sensflow fans strapped to it.

PWM splitters should always omit the RPM signal on all but the "primary" fan. It serves no purpose and I'm sure it would absolutely piss the motherboard off.

On Windows? Not really. I see tons of PCs come in of varying age ranges with (typically) 4, 8, and 12GB configurations. The 4GB ones are always DOG slow, even though some of them are only a year or two old and would otherwise be fine with more RAM. 8GB (or I guess technically 6GB, but that doesn't exist with modern desktops or laptops) is really the lowest one would want to go, especially with Windows 11.
 
Modern Windows 11 tries to idle at like 4-5GB depending on how much shitware there is. When I got this laptop, after everything was settled in and it had time to calm down the lowest I ever saw RAM go was 5.2GB, and after a clean install of 11 I managed to shed anywhere from half to a full gig on that, depending how it feels that particular day.
 

Now that's a size difference I didn't expect.

Yup, just make sure you bend the wings back out otherwise they're not gonna stay in. 😉

You can just push the pins out and rearrange them as you need to. Done it a million times to those damn Dell 5-pin fans.

It’s more like windows sucks at memory allocation and has high resource usage overhead.
I don’t like Linux, but install Linux on a machine with 4gb of ram and everything runs smooth.
Meanwhile I have 64gb of ram and windows takes that as “welp, better cache all this useless shit in 12gb of it at idle”

I max the ram on every machine I own because ram is cheap. I have laptops from 2011 which have 16gb of ram even if they’ll never use it. Just because windows sucks and eats up all the ram.

I'd recommend downloading CrystalDiskInfo and seeing how hot it's actually getting. Hard drives should be fine until like 50C (not great for lifespan but they'd at least function correctly). Also, chances are unless you're using some goofy ass 6TB+ 7200RPM drive it really shouldn't be throwing a hissy fit with dickall airflow.

Because they use different protocols. Get a bluetooth device if you want bluetooth, its simple as that.

Not to mention they covered the thing in epoxy which would probably make it an absolute bitch to figure out what it actually was... assuming they didn't also scrub off all the markings.

One of the things I love about the 8TB Easystore I use for my Series X, which I'm pretty sure has an EMZZ in it, is how THONKY it is. I can feel it through my table.
