Yes and yes. An extra fan won't bring any magical cooling improvements - maybe a 2-3C drop at best. Basically, if the cooler wasn't good enough for your CPU with a single fan, then it most likely won't be good enough with two fans either. AFAIK Noctua include a ~3g tube of NT-H1, which should be plenty for several CPU swaps.

Gotta love when people who can't accept the fact that they're wrong are talking about other people's egos.

You've just further proven that you don't really know what you're talking about with this reply. No one's talking about the monitor outputting more than 60 frames per second if it's running at 60Hz. Running at a higher framerate than your refresh rate is, in fact, what causes tearing, but somehow you're saying that it reduces it? lol

Can you tell us what components you're using? What CPU/GPU usage are you seeing while you're in-game, both with the framerate locked and unlocked? (you can check this using something like MSI Afterburner) That's when you'll generally see screen tearing, not the game feeling like it's running at 25FPS. Except significantly lower frametimes.

Sounds like quite a decent deal for only $10 more. The main advantage of the RM will be in the noise department, as the TXM does have a fairly aggressive fan curve, as opposed to the RM's which is much more relaxed. Or you could grab the TXM and get a pizza with the tenner you save. Or a burger. Or a coffee. Or whatever you're into. Either of the two units shouldn't have any problems powering a 5800X and RTX 3060Ti/3070, and if you reckon you won't mind a tiny bit of extra noise under load, the TXM is a very solid option.

That's the board I was going to get when I was planning my new build almost two years ago! Well, if I had gone AMD. Hoshī do be looking real nice!

There's a reason you don't see people daily-ing overclocked 3950Xes pulling 250W+, but you do see people running 300W 10900Ks on air cooling. Or the 5800X being harder to cool than a 10700K. More, smaller transistors will be harder to cool than fewer, larger transistors. Again, as mentioned previously, the difference between 7nm TSMC and 14nm Intel isn't as large as AMD's marketing hopes to make you believe (since "7nm" seems to be plastered over any of their recent CPU/GPUs), but this still holds true to an extent.

If you're using a CPU that actually needs more than a single 8-pin EPS for power, then you probably shouldn't be using a CV550. What components are you using, exactly? And no, don't use random SATA/Molex adapters that do more harm than good.

Building a Coffee Lake based system nowadays doesn't make much sense, considering both Intel and AMD have newer and better options. Not that there's something inherently wrong with the system you put together, but there might be better alternatives for the money. What's your budget in RON?

Sounds like a bad mount. Try remounting the CPU cooler, and also removing the thermal paste that's on there and applying some fresh one, if you've got any on hand. Also, try being extra careful when you're taking the cooler off. Because of the AM4 socket and CPUs, often times the especially sticky thermal paste will glue the CPU to the cooler and pull it right out of the socket (which isn't ideal, to say the least). A good idea would be removing the cooler right after shutting down the system (so the paste is still warm), and also pull the cooler off with a twisting motion, as opposed to just pulling it straight up.

An NH-U12A or even NH-U12S should work fine, though ideally I'd get a case that isn't a hotbox.

And it'll probably (hopefully) be another Jack Thompson case, where the dude and his half-brained ideas end up getting clowned on in court. vIoLeNt ViDeO gAmEs

The fact that you've gone from a single-rank to a dual-rank memory configuration will make up for the slight drop in frequency. If anything, you could also try tightening the timings.

Ryzen 5000 CPUs use the same memory controller as 3000. Your best bet is lowering the memory frequency and/or bumping up your SoC voltage slightly.

You'd be better off getting a proper dGPU in the first place than going for some crazy expensive memory kit now in an attempt to juice up what is still inherently a low-end, last-gen GPU. Or wait for DDR5.

Should work just fine - just make sure that the GPU you're upgrading to only requires an 8-pin for extra power, as the CX450 only has a single 8-pin PCIe connector. For instance, the Founders Edition RTX 2060 only requires an 8-pin for power (which would be alright): But the Strix 2060 requires one 8-pin and one 6-pin (so it wouldn't be an ideal choice):

Should be fine for 2027, but 2028... hard to say. The real question however is whether 10GB of VRAM will be enough in 2077.
