  1. The thermal conductivity of thermalpaste is way worse than solid metal - it would result in worse cooling performance
  2. I would also recommend repasting the cpu with new thermal paste and spread the paste over the entire heatspreader this time (with your finger or a piece of plastic) The Ryzen 5000 series has the compute and IO dies quite far apart so they may not come in contact with the cooler / thermal paste when not spread over the IHS Undervolting/Eco Mode will also help
  3. Overclocking is disabled on the X3D-Chips to protect the large cache die. The main benefit of them is Gaming since Games generally like big caches even over clockspeed. So they are clock-optimized regular ryzens with a large caches intended for gaming
  4. The thermal conductivity may also play a role in material choice and since aluminium is a very good thermal conductor and a bad electrical conductor i would say the choice makes sense.
  5. GPUs are definetly more effected by coilwhine. First thing i would try tho is setting the windows powerplan to "Power Saver" and see if it gets better
  6. Coilwhine then - alsmost every new PC has it in some form you can try to reduce it by changing the Windows-Powerplan or overclocking/undervolting your GPU/CPU Sometimes it also goes away after you run a heavy load for a couple days
  7. Also could be a DHCP problem, when there are no IP-Adresses left in you home network to allocate them to new devices. But Wifi6 is also a good idea to increase bandwith for that many devices.
  8. The 980Ti is a great card but it could be hitting its VRAM limit in Hogwarts Legacy
  9. 1. To get a 140 fan to fit on that spot you would need a diffrent motherboard i would just use a 120 there. 2. I would not clip the cables of because it would leave unsleeved wires with current running through them - jsut get inexpesive cable extensions if you care about the looks of the two cables.
  10. Looks not too far off but its calculated since some of the cards are not released yet. I would use https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html as a GPU-Tierlist based on actual Benchmarks.
  11. You really dont need a X3D CPU if you play games only at 4K native. The 7900x should do just fine for gaming at 4k.
  12. if you buy a new psu for a high end pc you should go atx 3 imo
  13. Chipset Drivers, BIOS Update would be my guess It could also be the ram and storage speed. A harddrive can cripple a modern CPU pretty bad.
  14. AMD did the same with AM4 - on AM5 it makes even more sense since the boards are more expensive and not everyone needs a power delivery designed for 100+ watt
  15. https://myaudioneeds.com/bluetooth-speaker-with-replaceable-battery/
  16. really modern games like the next gen console ports all use more than 16 GB but most of the time less than 24GB so your answer is 24 GB
  17. Also maybe upgrade your ram to 3200/3600 mhz since ryzen scales really well with faster ram
  18. The ryzen 5 5600(X) should be a good fit. I think the 5800x3d or ryzen 7000 are to expensive and not worth it for a 3070.
  19. quick format is OK and you will need exFAT if you want to use it on non windows devices (some of them will be able to read ntfs but not all)
  20. it will work fine but the general consensis is that you should not cheap out on the PSU because its an essential part for a working computer and if you want your computer to be reliable you should get a decent PSU. However i dont think you will run into any problems with such a low power (in terms of electricity) build.
  21. You might like the new LG Grams, they come with alderlake cpus and screens up to 16". They also have a huge battery and are very light.
  22. Yes both AM5 motherboards and DDR5 will be cheaper in the near future. But you are already not overspendig that much - your RAM is a little slow for the price but the Motherboard is absolutely fine.
  23. Burn in is also still a problem on OLED monitors. I would not want to spend 1000$ on a monitor just to have burned in pixels after a couple years.
