Jayz2cents already did a video showing this on YouTube. 

I think you can use apple trackpad and install bootcamp driver for it.

Yes, it says on the product page that the cooler comes with two pairs of brackets. 

I found this company called Noctua, they seem pretty knowledgeable on the NH-U12S.
 

V-NAND is Samsung's implementation of 3D flash. It's architecturally built on TCAT which is a form of replacement gate (RG). Nobody else uses that, but Micron's new 176-layer flash will be RG. Other manufacturers use variations of BiCS (bit cost scaling), like WD/Kioxia and Hynix, which scales well with capacity and yields; this is charge trap flash (CTF). Intel/Micron use floating gate (FG) instead which takes up more area but is more resilient in general. This makes Intel's QLC the best around. However, again, Micron is moving to CTF. Samsung's flash for the record does tend to have the best endurance, performance is a different discussion as that is deeper in the architecture. Upcoming split-gate/cell flash will be FG and CTF, the former more likely as it works better with the cell shape.
 
There are dozens of 3D NAND implementations so V-NAND does not equal 3D NAND, it's just Samsung marketing as usual (like "3-bit MLC").

V means vertical, so it essentially means the same thing as 3D.
Just look at benchmarks to determine peformance.

they refer to the same thing, NAND memory stacked vertically on top of each other.
if you want to know the difference between two different SSD's, please post the model nr.'s of both and the intended use for the SSD's.

I believe the czar said sooooooooooooooooooooooooooon, but I really cant remember what specifically and I think it is the deskmats.
 
Do a search, czar spoke and posted.

You got your answer already. Put the one that you use the most (game-ssd if you plan to game on it a lot or w10-ssd if you're using it for chrome, video editing etc.)

thank you very much!!!

1. normally yea, but depends on the board. Am4 boards normally have one that is directly connected to the cpu, and the rest go to the chipset, 115x board go all to the chipset.
 
2. Normally less bandwidth sharing, but for most users, it won't make any difference.
 
3. Look in the manual, but its normally the top m.2 slot.
 
4. Its a bit faster, and runs at gen 3 speeds in your case, and won't share bandwidth with other devices.

1. yes, some go through pcie lanes in the chipset which are much slower
 
2. speed
 
3. if its probably in your manual, i believe yours runs through the cpu
 
4. its allows the ssd to run at full speed

early september stuff, but how about this?

I have a hard time imagining that a 3090 blower is feasible (that said, never seen a triple slot blower, might look hilarious.) The 3080 might be feasible, but damn those cards suck down a lot of power, we will have to see if board partners think anything more than the 3070 is worth designing a blower for 

Yes, just not for the mainstream market. Look for used ones from DELL & Co. Also workstation cards are usually blow style.

Ok so your build would actually not be very old because from the sounds of it his actual requirements are "a low end cheap machine" rather than a machine that is simply old.

You can get used office machines for 100-300$ pretty easy and they'll be speccd around previous gen i3-i7's with 8gb of ram ect.....

But you actually do have to give us a budget as we aren't going to list the thousands of options that exist under 300$

You would be better off going with newer stuff...If your friend really wants to play esports titles, its better to have more than not enough. 
 
Note: when I say newer stuff, I mean like a ryzen 500/nvidia 10xx series and an intel 7-9 gen or AMD 2nd gen. Are we on the same page or are you thinking older?

you turned off the audio source. windows most of the time will pause what ever is accessing it. ive seen it with most videos, video players and winamp

Any one will do just fine. The difference is minuscule, maybe 1-3 degree tops.

It doesnt realy matter what thermal paste you use.
Any decent one will do just fine.

Just make sure it's not electrically conductive

A good 500w (or more) will suffice for this build.
There are loads of good options, depends on what is best available/priced locally.
 
The Be Quiet Pure Power 11, Corsair CX550 or TX550 or Seasonic GX would all be good options, among so many more.

you can control dc fans smoothly but they usually cant go below 50-60% speed. which isnt really an issue with good fans but with cheaper ones they may be a little loud at that speed. pwm is usually just a few bucks more, might as well get em

also you can control 3 pin fan with fan curves as well, with DC control
the voltages arent locked to 5v and 12v, i believe it can vary in small steps between these two voltages
because i can control my 3 pin fans as smoothly as my 4 pin fans
