    Question cpu cooler advice

    yeah I noticed that with my old 4790k, but Im a bit OCD when it comes to frequencies, in my mind turbo clocks dont count if the CPU cant maintain them all the time, so for my own silly minds sake I would rather my CPU just run at turbo clock if able, or at a minimum 4ghz. adn thanks for the...

    Question should I wait?

    so after a week a news and rumors it seems my dilemma has come again. there is now speculation that x670 will just be a refresh of x570 that allows ryzen 4000 support out of the box and not much else, also rumors are pointing to a late December release for the new 4000 series. Due to weather...

    Question Motherboard with better VRM for future proofing

    not 100% sure on your question but the x670 chipset will be releasing with the new ryzen 4000 CPU's and should be the last am4 board for AMD.

    Question should I wait?

    you make a good point as far as the warranties are concerned, I suppose I can wait for the remaining components. if nothing else it should press the b550 and 3000 series prices down once the 4000 series and 670 release, im just worried about supply issues when the new series hits.

    Question need advice on a case

    so then the more overall cfm, the better cooling and its just a matter of deciding if I want positive, neutral or negative pressure. that's what I have been reading, I guess i will stick with cooler master just to make sure. it also has a "mb argb" header and a "mb pwm" header, am I correct in...
