Ditto on this, was going to say the same thing, cooling a Ryzen 5 isn't a very tall order. If mounting pressure/paste aren't an issue then the AIO is at the end of it's life.

DLSS even on my 2080 is truly incredible when the scene works well with it. Lately in Ghostwire Tokyo I have an issue where performance shits the bed until I reboot, so I have to go from quality DLSS to ultra performance, which means it renders at sub-720p... and it generally looks better than native 720p as long as there isn't rain.

Compared to the factory curve of pretty much every card made in the last decade, that is exceedingly aggressive. There really isn't a reason to have your fans be doing 100% by 80C.

Definitely looks like an OEM model by Lenovo 🙂  There are a few listings for the same card with Lenovo in the description.
Blower style OEM cards from PreBuilts were quite common back in the 1000/2000 series range.

Should be good 🙂  Its not ideal but I dont see this causing any troubles. Just check the temperatures when you start using the computers ( as you should with any new build / cooler ).

Not really no.

Yeah... My older builds totally never go online... 😅

I'm going to be building a funny stupid 6700K build here soon (TLDR is it's a 6700K, Z170 DDR3 board, 32GB of 1866C10 RAM, and probably a GTX 970), and if not for the fact that I reeeeeealllllly want to try shit like FH4 on it I'd just install 8.1 and let it be.

Other than it ignoring my exclusion preferences, I have no complaints. It's just annoying that it likes to ignore my exclusions for my network drives where it tampers with my uh... Meme stash.

I'm pretty sure they do. If I'm not mistaken with boards that have Gen4 M.2 slots, they dynamically allocate lanes depending on if it's a Gen3 drive and just generally how many lanes you're using in general.

Meanwhile I'm just happy that I should hit 20,000 on our team by the end of the day today. Poor little M1 Mac Mini putting in WORK.

My parental got me these guys for Christmas. Certainly a nice upgrade from the stock GX browns that my G Pro X had, these guys made it way quieter and a bit deeper pitch like I had hoped. I kind of miss the tactile-ness since these are linears, but I'm sure eventually I'll get used to it. Pre-lubed is love, pre-lubed is life.

 

You are using the wrong term, Overloading isnt it. You are exceeding your PCIE lanes, usually you get 20-24 pcie lanes, 16 for the gpu, 4 for the chipset that gets split between USB, SATA etc. 
 
Your lanes generally get either tune itself down (usually PCIE 4 goes from 16x to 8x for GPU) and adjust. Usually 2-3 NVME drives on certain boards on AM4 will disable Sata ports and such. Just have to check mobo manual to see which ones do.
 
If you use 3X PCIE gen 3x4 ssds, they can be run at PCIE gen 4 with 2 lanes each and run at their rated speed.

Was wondering why this Celeron 333 was running so hot. Anyone notice the 24 year old mistake?


 

I had a regular Pure Rock 2 on my 12600KF and it did just fine, though I'm also not one of the people that throws a dirty 5.2GHz OC on it because diminishing returns are stupid lol. When I still used that my CPU would draw 135-140w under a worst-case scenario load, and even though the fan curve was lazy for silence it still kept things under 80.

Realistically all of the wrinkles with Zen have been ironed out for a while now, even the AM5 growing pains seem to be over with for the most part. Personally I also plan on ditching Intel sooner rather than later, I'm sick and tired of my mobo and quite frankly, even with the better scheduler of Windows 11 the BIG.little architecture is ass. I love my 12600KF, it's a perfectly performant little guy, but the biggest issues with it are that the scheduler fuckin sucks especially when it comes to VMWare and Steam downloads. I've also noticed that Photoshop in particular acts funky even if I set the affinity to only use the P-cores.

400 billion bytes is just 400 gb or roughly 4 times the usual per say.
 
Memory is built in right on the die, close proximity alone reduces possible latency and interference which let's them push higher speeds.
Of course many other factors play on the overall performance of the chip but the unified memory might be the most important factor.

well.. if you vape like a normal person, and the room is well ventilated, worst scenario is that the dust in your pc is just a bit more sticky than normal.
 
on the flip side.. if you're "ripping fat clouds", no matter how well ventilated the room is, a noteworthy amount of that is gonna find it's way trough your computer and deposit over time.
 
from some real-world experience, a "clean person" smoker or vaper isnt as bad as "that type of customer" that "doesnt eat by their computer" but somehow dorito dust made it into the cooler.
