I have not run any benchmarks, but I will make sure to do that.

If I spin the cooler, does that do anything? I thought the heat sink was symmetrical. I could put the fan facing the other direction, but it wouldn't do anything.

I have the Noctua NH-U14S Pic: https://imgur.com/a/aCm9sTM I circled where the PCIe slot is: https://imgur.com/a/QQ26Ex2

It is odd, but that is what I am working with and it is confusing me.

Hello, I have a 2070 super that belongs in a PCIe 3.0 x 16 slot. However, on my motherboard (TUF X570-Plus), it has two PCIe slots that are both PCIe 4.0x16, however the second slot has only 4 BUS speed while the first one has the full 16 BUS speed. I am unable to put my 2070s into the first PCIe slot because of the massive cpu cooler that I have which is blocking it. I am forced to put it into the second slot. I was wondering if since the graphics card requires a lower standard of PCIe, and the slot that it is in supports PCIe 4.0 x 16 (but is at 4 BUS speed), is the graphics card running at the full potential? If not, how could I check or what could solve this problem because I am very confused.
