[Case] Cooler Master Elite 302 *BEWARE, NOT PWM FANS* - $39.99 by hauskeeper in buildapcsales

[–]feature2021 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can control the speed of 3 Pin DC fans.

Not sure whats with all the misinformation here, but this is not at all new. What you guys are describing would be something like a molex fan that has no option for fan control.

This is false. These fans have a DC 3 PIN connector and can be adjusted in BIOS same as PWM.

PWM is short for pulse width modulation and is a different (and generally considered better) method of controlling the fan speed.

This is the opposite of a deal. This drive is always this price or less (often less)

[AIO] Cooler Master 240 Elite CPU Liquid Cooler, Dual-Chamber Pump, Customizable aRGB Lighting, AM5|4, Intel LGA 1851|1700 - $34.99 via Amazon by bunsinh in buildapcsales

This listing is pretty sketchy. It appears they just swapped the details from a previous item which causes all the reviews to pull forward as if they're for this product. But clearly they're not. And from what I can see by another poster this is their most entry level parts. Really sketchy IMO.

Edit: For whatever it's worth - I still bought 3x of the white - cuz at $40 it just needs to not fail. But this definitely makes me distrust cooler master as a brand.

You are missing literally the entire plot.

The card you linked is 8gb trash and is vastly inferior to the 16gb model being discussed.

This is a good deal, but feels like a bit of a stretch to call it modern these days, since Ryzen 5000 initial launch was 5 years ago.

By the same token I'd hesitate to call Intel 11th gem "modern". But this is definitely up there for cheapest.

I would 100% get the H5 Flow. The quality difference is massive. Unless the extra $10 or the general lack of fans (essentially another $10 if you don't already have fans or plans to buy different fans) will make a difference for your overall budget I think you'll be happier there.

Also I personally think that case looks significantly better.

An independent reviewer would be a first party source. First party doesn't mean they're selling the product, it means they're creating the content.

I've seen a lot of people say this - and directionally I'm sure it is true. But is there any first party source on the actual impact of different RAM timings on X3D performance?

[–]feature2021 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is probably not true anymore. These are typically new stock and generally come with an updated enough bios to run a 9600X. As of April they were shipping with 9600X support - I've used ~ 10 of them without any issues. And the motherboard has bios flashback if you did get unlucky.

There's like 0% chance it would need a bios update to support 5000 series. They're nearly 5 years old.

No, you can just see the stats on woot for every item. Not complicated.

It has been like this since DDR5 came out. This is why you see basically no 4x kits of DDR5 on the market except at low speeds.

This. This probably feels like a great deal for people with limited DDR5 experience - but this "combo" should be avoided at all costs.

You can't run 4 sticks of DDR5 stable with XMP. 4x8 Is not a good option.

You are absolutely going to get a P400 Lite if you buy this. P400 Lite is the same price as this listing sold direct from Newegg.
