RGB is the only reason to match them. For example, if your motherboard and video card are made by the same manufacturer, they can be adjusted and synced more easily than two components from two different brands. Although lately they have become a bit more compatible with each other, so even that reason is going away. For case and PSU, it's usually a straight-up terrible idea. When companies like Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte make cases or PSUs, they're usually of mediocre quality and cost 2-3 times more than a reasonable alternative would, and there's literally zero benefit to matching them with the rest of your components

Hey there, I've been having an issue with my my gpu fans going into overdrive with temperatures that (imo) don't warrant it. Specifically, as soon as the temperature hits around 77 °C the fans spin up to 100% until it drops to ~75 or so, causing quite a bit of noise, to put it mildly. I've tried playing around with afterburner, setting custom curves or straight up manually setting a fan speed, all settings work fine until that temperature point and then get completely ignored. There are no drops in clock speeds or power. The card is MSI Gaming X Trio 2080Ti. Drivers and Windows are up to date, but tbh this issue is old enough that I'm pretty sure any and all software has changed multiple times without making a difference. Any ideas? Thanks!

There are technical viewers watching LTT?

Also, jut because you have a 1 Gbps connection to your router, doesn't mean your internet speed will be 1 Gbps

Extra RAM will only help you if you're running out of it. 8GB can definitely be not enough these days, but I suspect the other components in a DDR3 system might also not be quite up for a modern AAA. Might not be worth the upgrade if you'll immediately run into a bottleneck somewhere else

It's good quality, but I'm not sure about the longevity of any PSU with ATX 3.0 around the corner. Long story short, it will not be super different to the point of being incompatible, but it will require PSUs to handle large power spikes, so you might need a lot more watts to power future graphics cards with current PSUs.

I cannot for the life of me understand why USA carriers have any role to play whatsoever. I've never seen one do anything anything to my phone other than provide the connection. It's like having your ISP reskin your Windows updates

Have you heard of the Steam Deck?

This kinda already was my opinion with 12-inch tablets, but... what possible advantage does this have over a 2-in-1 laptop?

The parts list includes a PSU that's been recalled for exploding, and it's all put together by a company that made a product with a very real risk of burning your house down (like, it wasn't just failing with a bit of smoke, but actual open flames), and denied it being a problem for months, followed by a half-assed fix that didn't really fix it

If you're set on electronics being where your entertainment budget goes, I'd say it's a good guideline, but not a good rule or plan. You have to leave yourself plenty of wiggle room, and definitely not buy something just because X years have passed. I do something similar with all my tech. I actually have a spreadsheet (never been tested for autism, but nobody would be surprised ) listing every tech thing I own, date when I bought it, price, warranty info, potential replacement if it broke today (mostly based on randomly watched Youtube reviews) and a date when I expect to want a new one. When the date comes however, I always reevaluate it, and push it back more often than not

I'm struggling to understand why is that a problem

The entire point of the entire challenge is the exact opposite of pretending to know what they're talking about

Is there any significant temperature or clock speed (with original settings) difference under load? Generally speaking, idle temperatures don't matter at all, if that's all that's changed, you don't have a problem A voltage of 1.5v would be a bit crazy. There used to be issues with voltage reporting for Ryzen, where inactive cores would be showing ridiculously high voltages. I'm not sure if that's still a thing (this was like 2 years ago ago Zen 2), but it sure looks similar

You probably can't, the power limits on ports are usually dictated by hardware. There are no settings you can change that will make the wires thicker

The spec sheet for the M28U says it comes with a USB cable in the box. Isn't it USB-C on both ends? Using the stuff included by the manufacturer is always a safe bet

Tech enthusiast (noun): a person who simultaneously says there is zero difference between 1440p and 4k on a 27" screen, but definitely prefers 1440p over 1080 on a 6" screen I'm in a very similar boat to you. Built my rig a couple of years ago with a 2080Ti, deliberately chose a 4K60 monitor, because I mostly play medium-slow paced eyecandy type games, don't do multiplayer, and rarely go above medium difficulty on anything requiring quick reaction times. Definitely gonna go beyond 60Hz when it becomes consistently possible on 4K, but I'm not downgrading my resolution Picking components for your PC build is ultimately about choosing your favorite downside. Which makes it incredibly weird when the community gets elitist about less popular choices. I mean, that's kinda why we're here in the first place

I don't think scared is the right word. People just don't care to bother. I honestly find it surprising how tech people don't understand this, because it applies to pretty much everything. Most drivers don't know anything about cars beyond simple usage. Most fridge owners don't know anything about fridges beyond "open door, put things in". People just don't care about really knowing most of the tools they use in their daily lives, yourself included. And that's not really a bad thing

For the overwhelming majority of people, the first one is so much easier it's difficult to even comprehend the difference. Like trying to compare the size of an ant a a blue whale

Ok. I've looked at a couple reviews, and while the cooler is good, it's not amazing thermally, and the 10700K can definitely get toasty. It's looking more and more likely that MrSauber's idea is the right one. If you're completely unfamiliar with BIOS, you'd probably need someone with the same brand and generation of motherbaord to walk you through it, or... you could just leave it as is. It's honestly not that big of a deal, and if you're not the sort to enjoy tinkering with your system, it might not be worth the effort

Did you install the cooler yourself? If yes, are all the screws tightened well, and are you sure you didn't forget thermal paste?

It is technically safe, as in it's not going to be killed by that. It is high though, meaning it's gonna run slower than it could. Looking at the long-term, the lifespan could be affected by high temperatures, but that's more of a theoretical thing rather than something you should actually worry about. I doubt it has much to do with DLSS, or other GPU settings for that matter What kind of cooler, case, and case fan configuration do you have? When was the last time you cleaned the CPU heatsink?

Depends on how much the looks are worth to you. It would work, but definitely run hotter, and thus slower
