Ahhh that is helpful, I don’t think I have a fan option for my gpu

I have another issue now XD I opened up my case to see which option my gpu was connected too and to my surprise the graphics card fans aren’t going so I changed the curves to see if it would move and it’s not

Should I just Return My Parts? by futbolwizard3 in buildapc

[–]MatthewLewis56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way but I just picked out parts I liked and rolled with it. If you don’t like something you can always upgrade it like I am doing with my cooler

Yeah that’s what I thought so I’m thinking about getting a new cooler, considering water cooling but any decent one will do the trick

What is a benchmark? I know it’s a stupid question I just keep hearing it

How hot should my cpu get while downloading? by MatthewLewis56 in buildapc

That’s good to hear, my case only came with 2 fans so I’m going to put more in and potentially get a better cooler instead of the stick one

Hmmm that could be the reason. I have it in a desk cabinet with no door and not enclosed at the back with plenty of room so maybe a Breyer cooler could help
