I may switch to Linux. I exclusively used Pop_OS! for a month as a test and I really liked it, most of what I do also already works on Linux just fine. I only need Windows for VR but I haven't really played any VR games in a while. I'll probably stay on W10 for a bit longer though... too lazy to switch right now. (I'm not hating on W11, I was just considering switching to Linux for a long time now anyways, also there is really nothing interesting about W11 for me).

Maybe this will work? https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock Otherwise I'm pretty sure you will need two cards, one of them for passtrough.

They both have excellent ANC. They are different class of headphones though, I can't speak for in-ears because I'm not using them but they will likely have better noise cancelling because they are basically an ear plugs.

There has been boards like that in the past though. I had an Asrock AMD motherboard that supported 2x DDR2 and 2x DDR3 (obviously you could just use one of them at a time). And when Skylake released there were board with two slots DDR3 and two slots DDR4. So I was expecting this to be the same case... maybe there will be boards like that.

All you need is the Steam.exe and steamapps folder. Backup those, then after you install your fresh OS put those files in whatever folder you want then run the Steam.exe and it will install fresh version of Steam and your games will be there (some game saves may be missing, not all games save their progress in this folder).

I had Noctua NH-U12S and the ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports and the Arctic was just slightly worse while being 3x cheaper. The Arctic fans are also nice. The ID-Cooling one looks almost identical, so it will probably perform the same, fans will likely make the biggest difference in noise/cooling. Probably just pick the cheaper one.

What RAM? Exact model number. Do you have XMP/DOCP enabled?

Have you tried updating the BIOS? There has been many memory compatibility fixes. Also which Memtest did you use?

Yes but what's the price? It costs €339 in my country and I wouldn't pay that much for a 1080p IPS panel these days, it's not worth it at all.

No need to actively cool the VRM on that board unless you go completely ham with massive OC. Even then it should be mostly fine.

It's about luck of the draw... same as overclocking. Some cards will not undervolt at all and are at the edge of the stability, some will undervolt only little and few will undervolt a lot while keeping the same clocks.

It's supposed to be around 350€ so...

3060 for 600€ is like everywhere else and it's overpriced as heck... also im not clicking on that link.

I've read it as 2 out of 4 ^^ have you tried the drivers yet as I mentioned? Get DDU to uninstall what you have right now, then download and install new ones

Slot 2 and 4 (typically).
