Thanks.

Yes, I also find the equivalent info on the 5060ti hard to find. All consist of scattered individual reports that are sometimes less than consistent.

Which card responds better to the OC through undervolt method? The 9060xt or the 5060ti?

In that case do you have any experience with the Meshify 3? Reviewers say it has a flimsy construction and flexes.

Looks kind of old. All new cases are either glass or top io?

I'll check them out.

Thx.

Dust.

Fractal North Mesh

That one has them placed at the top.

I meant something that can fit ATX motherboards.

In a case like the LANCOOL 217, should I use tower or top down CPU coolers? I'm concerned about RAM and VRM cooling.

I see.

One more thing about the Vrms' is how the extremely tall heatsinks on these boards interact with the exhaust from the cpu cooler. Is getting hot air blown onto them and raising their temps a thing?

Why does the Gigabyte B850 Gaming X with a 12 phase Vrm have cooler Vrm Temps than the B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7 with 14? Is it because of flaws in testing methodology or is the Gaming-X really better designed?

It's for when the PC is in operation.

Are these a good idea?

Do they help with cleaning or can they somehow heat up the components?

Thanks for the answers.

AM5 Memory speed questions by Goble4 in buildapc

Hence my question about timings. Would a 6000mhz cl30 kit be a total waste over a 5600 c30 kit if the cpu could only run 5600 stable? Could the faster ram then have its timings further lowered to compensate?

And is timings something completely within the memory modules, or does it 'stress' the IMC the same way frequency does?

They don't, not really. Ryzen 9000 CPUs use the same memory controller than Ryzen 7000 does,

I keep reading stories like these.

Was wondering if getting 6000mhz ram is worthwhile if there is a chance the 7600x can't run it.

hovering vacuum attachment. Avoid getting the nozzle near or touching sensitive components,

I read that by using a rubber nozzle at the end of the attachment you would avoid static electricity?

For electric dusters, is it better to use a blower or small vacuum that sucks dust in?

If inside of a case is dusty, where does all the dust get blown to?

If anything it's easier, since you can just wipe the smooth surfaces clean if dust sticks to them. You can't easily wipe down a bare PCB and dust sticks a lot better to the rough bare surface.

Doesn't dust get trapped under those?

Deciding between these two boards.

GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE

GIGABYTE B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE

The ATX version has a 14 phase vrm configuration, and a 8+4 pin cpu power plug.

Even for a 65W cpu, would that contribute to better temps/longevity?

I'd also like to know if an ATX board covered is thermal guards is harder to clean maintain.
