PWM fans weren't a thing last time I built a PC 5-years ago. If I'm using a PWM fan hub, all PWM fans, and have the hub plugged into a PWM mobo fan header, will I have individual control of each fan or will the speed of all fans on the hub be controlled simultaneously?

I know there's no guarantee it will post at 3000MHz, but is it somewhat safe to asssume that if 4 x 8GB Corsair Dominator (CMD32GX4M4B3000C15) is on my motherboard's QVL list for 3000MHz speeds that the same memory in 2 x 8GB will post (or can manually be set to) that speed as well?

Will a stock AM4 Ryzen 1400 Wraith HSF fit on an AM3+ FX-8350 / Asus M5A99X-EVO? I'm going to dedicate an old AM3+ machine to a little home server, but the stock HSF's fan has been making a very slight bearing noise. I have a new Ryzen R5 that I'd like to replace the stock HSF on and it'd be...

GPU OUTPUT: 6870 w/ (2) mini-DP, (2) DVI, and (1) HDMI. MONITORS INPUT: (1) DP, (1) DVI, and (1) VGA. In order to connect all three monitors to the 6870 and run Eyefinity, will the following cables work? One of these: Card out DVI to monitor in DP. Two of these: Card out mini-DP to monitor...

I have an XFX 2GB 6870 w/ two DVI, two mini DP, and one HDMI? How do I connect three monitors to this card? Is there a difference in running multiple displays in Eyefinity and just normal extended desktop? The monitors only have DVI and DP.

Do most games support three Eyefinity displays with 16:10 aspect ratio or will they default to three 16:9? Just wondering if games like BF3 and Skyrim will cut off the additonal 120 lines of horizontal resolution resulting in black bars at the top and bottom.

CPU: Phenom X4 955 (stock HSF) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev 1.1 Memory: 16GB (4x4) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Please confirm my memory settings are correct and/or make suggestions for changes.

I'm putting together a new system and want Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate (64-bit), but I have zero OS to start with. The $250-290 price tag for the full install seems pretty steep. Can I just buy a cheap version of XP and do 7 upgrade?

Are the HSF's that come with the 955 and 970 the same?

Ok, so obviously I need two PCIe slots to run video cards in SLI or CrossFire, but do they both need to be x16? My intention is to run two 6870's in CrossFire.

Keeping the manufacturer name out of it for now, which is better between these two timings/voltages for games and basic Windows tasks. Brand AAA, mfr. specs: 8-8-8-24 1.5V Brand BBB, mfr. specs: 7-9-8-24 1.65V EDIT: Should have mentioned, it's for a Phenom X4 955 and Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3.

I noticed the Gigabyte website has a supported memory list for all revisons of the UD5 and only revision 1.0 for the UD3. Revision 1.1 and 1.2 for the UD3 do not have a memory support page. I have and would like to use some Corsair XMS3 on the UD3 rev 1.2. As I stated, the 1.2 revision does...

I know they're typically a little more expensive, but in the past I've always purchased Asus motherboards and video cards. I'm currently looking at a Radeon 6870; the Asus 1GB and XFX 2GB are currently the same price at NewEgg. I would eventually like to run a 2nd card w/ CrossFire, so I think...

I'm putting together an AM3 system for my sister to replace a 6 year old Dell that was about $400 brand new. All she uses it for is internet and email. I already purchased her a X4 955, but I'm thinking it was a waste of money for her intended purposes. Should I have just got her a Phenom...

I just got the itch to build a new PC, but I was wondering if it was worth it to put my old system back together to play MW3 for the time being... even on low settings. MB: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe CPU: Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2GHz, 512KB L2 cache, FSB 2GHz, HT 1GHz) Mem: Crucial 8GB DDR400 GPU: BFG...
