Is the problem specific when you copy between the two drives? Ext. HDD1 --> Ext. HDD2 and does it happen in the reverse direction Ext. HDD2 --> Ext. HDD1 Additionally, does the problem happen when you copy from an internal drive to the external drives simultaneously Internal Drive --> Ext HDD1. and HDD2. at the same time If so, does the problem happen when its only just one of the drives Internal Drive --> Ext HDD1 only, or HDD2 only. Also as a curiosity, if you plug your keyboad and mouse into front panel ports, does this happen?

Less than 2 L of coolant should be safe. airflow wise its not so bad, but be aware that the hot air you exhaust out of the bottom of the case will likely get sucked back in through the side/back intakes so it will be a bit of circular flow. Having said that in the grand scheme of things the entire room will slowly heat up anyway so its just a question of how quickly that happens.

Just be aware that not all PC coolants have anti-freeze properties.

For me, no duct was comparable to getting dual cooling blowing from both sides.

I assume this is refering to the dye that's accumulated between the acrylic and the jet plate no flow area. Inly cosmetic, and a non-issue. So nothing to fix, and also don't use alcohol on acrylic blocks, they can get cloudy or even crack.

Instead of basing on random fps numbers in a random game at a random time, please run a defined benchmark just as TimeSpy or whatever and to see whether your scores are inline with the expectations for the hardware. Make sure if you had any OC applied to the GPU prior to the driver update is active now.

Then you have your answer. Fans on radiators are heavily impeded and you normally don't spin them so fast, so the negative pressure is not as bad as many think it is, and can be easily balanced by an unobstructed rear intake on a different fan curve.

With radiators I always set them to exhaust because I don't really see the point of bringing the heat close to the case only to blow it back into the case. So even at the cost of running gently negative pressure, I always exhaust on all radiators. But you will have 2x 240 right? then it should be fine. Single 240 would probably be worst than air.

You can look at my builds in Meshify C, and probably use a 240 mm radiator in the front instead of the 360, but I think otherwise the dimensions are similar.

Are you sure your monitor is actually a 1440p monitor? At least based on the Nvidia control panel where it says the monitor is a XB273 GP, seems to be a 1080p monitor on records https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/80f6200d

What device are you using for the monitor, is it actually capable of outputting 1440p @144Hz?

I had a positive experience with the machine.

Don't hold me accountable for it, but I think there is a good chance that it is okay.

The main advantage of them is temperature sensor headers if you have a board that does not have the ability to read a 2-pin header. But otherwise, yes, my opinion is that they do not have a place in modern watercooling. They are expensive, OS-specific, and do not offer a significant expanded functionality range.

They are just two headers available for you to measure temperature at different points in your loop. What you do with that information is up to you, and thus you can put them whereever you wish to put them. Heck, you can measure the same location twice if you for whatever reason wanted an average reading of the same place. W_IN and W_OUT, are called that way for your information and suggestion as to what they serve as. They could have been called W_1 and W_2 for all you care.

pump, waterblock, radiator, fans, tubing, fans.

Yeah, no problem. The GPU will benefit, the CPU will probably not chance so much. You can have a look at my builds in Meshify C if you want some ideas.

It's more expensive, but I do believe the Prusa machines are the sweet spot for out-of-the-box reliability. Heated bed, mesh levelling, dual lead screws, nice software. At least that's my opinion. As I said above, the only thing thats a PITA is multi-material printing, but I assume the Ender V3 doesn't do that anyway.

I would say ABS is more difficult to print than its worth. If your objects can survive being PLA or PETG I think your life may be easier

Are you dealing with particularly challenging materials? I use a Prusa i3 MkS3+ (ish) at work and its really great. The MMU2S is a PITA, but I think wit ha series of mods finally got it stable.

It means exactly what it says, the bandwidth is shared with the device in SATA1. So if you have a SATA device, consider using another SATA port to not share the bandwidth...

If you can fit a 55 mm (dont forget fans add 25 mm on top of that) then go ahead. Assuming you are also putting money into quality fans, that is.

More context would help, perhaps you should llist out what you would have included and let people know what additional things can be incoorporated.

Yes, I think that is the case.

to me the fans don't even look like the standard fan connector, and thus probably as it is, probably cannot be connected to the motherboard.
