So beyond my initial stupidity was that periodic pulsing/humming noise. One comment I found online was that it was potentially turbulence. I've disconnected the three bottom fans and it seems to have alleviated the issue. My question then is, realistically what effect will this have on cooling...

Oh my god it actually was my UPS and not my computer, I'm such an idiot for not noticing. Thank you very much.

Yeah it's definitely the computer and not UPS. I crossposted the question elsewhere and power was also suggested. This PSU only came with 2 PCIe 8pin connectors so I had to use the daisy chain for one of them. I've ordered a spare cable to see if it does the trick.

Hi, I've recently built a system with the following specs: AMD 5700x w/ Noctua D15S Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming 32gb G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 Gigabyte RTX4080 Corsair RM850x 1TB Samsung 970 evo plus m.2 2TB WD350 m.2 Fractal Torrent Everything seems a-ok in Windows, but almost immediately as I...

I said $50, but that's just what I would accept as normal markup from a small independent shop if I was lucky enough to find one with stock. From an ebay scalper? Not a penny more.

Picked this up on Black Friday. Seems ok but I'm struggling to find picture settings that feel right. I can't seem to get whites to feel really white like my PB278Q without feeling like it's hurting my eyes.

I don't know what AMD AIB prices will be like but I feel like Canadian pricing is making this a harder decision than it needs to be. At least at the moment it seems like the 3080 is closer to $250 more expensive than the 6800XT.

Ryzen 5 5600X Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus G.Skill Ripjaws 32gb 3200 AMD 6800 XT (reviews/availability pending, could be 3080) Fractal Design Define 7 Corsair RM850x WD SN750 1TB Noctua NH-U14S Thoughts on this? Does it seem reasonably balanced? Gaming performance is all I'm worried about so it's...

I see that framerates across the lineup seem pretty similar, but how much benefit would the 5900x have over the 5600x if I decided to start Twitch streaming those games?

I've got a pair of JBL 305p mkIIs currently connected to a Fiio D3 and into the computer with spdif. Is there any audible benefit to upgrading the Fiio to something like a Schiit Magni/Modi stack? The volume knob and accessible headphone jack are nice but not worth the expense to me if there's...

Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. Hopefully it'll perform well and the absence of certain premium features will have it come in at a reasonable price.

How valuable will PCIe4 be for a 3080? Am I completely insane to consider a B550 over an X570 just because I hate the inevitable annoyance of a chipset fan?

Pre-orders for these started today, https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/15/21289300/samsung-curved-odyssey-g7-g9-gaming-monitors-preorder-release-date-price-gsync-freesync How fast can a 1ms VA panel realistically go before it starts to smear? That's the common VA problem at speed, right?

Just gonna throw my own quick question in here rather than create a new thread: How does this monitor compare to a Dell 2405? All the specs and reviews just make me googly eyed, does anyone who has seen both side by side prefer the V2400 hugely over the Dell? The only thing I use it for is...

Roughly comparable pricepoint?
