yea i love noctuas for their fluid dynamic bearings.. in noctuas all you hear is wind turbulence noise, but some other fans you hear fan whirring noise which is kinda irritating when it hits a certain musical note.

Hey i just got a Galax gtx 1650 super ex 1 click oc twin fan.

All the monitoring apps, hwinfo, hwmonitor, gpu-z showing the fan RPM as 0.

It's listed as 40 percent and I can clearly see both fans spinning.

I used the xtreme tuner app and I am able to manually set fan speed to 100 percent but it seems the fan 1 setting in the app controls BOTH the fan speed, not independently.

The Fan2 setting doesn't do anything.

I can set fan curves and the fan speed percentage is correct.

Just that the RPM is always 0 in other apps, and there's no RPM indicator for their xtreme tuner app.

Does this mean this cheapest gtx 1650S doesn't use PWM fans and instead hook both twin fans to the same port ?

Ah I found something... No wonder no RPM... clearly with only red and black (2 wire) fans being used... there is no PWM and such, no RPM indicator is possible.

*lol* look at this zotac version.

Also 2 wire/pin fan connection, definitely no RPM sensor. Seems like certain AIBs are cheaping out on fan types for gtx  x50 series.

get it and you wont regret it. Infact they’re the best for noise and performance as rad fans...Your thermal will most likely improve by 2-3C and with much lower noise compared to stock aio fans. If you think they’re pricey, can consider the artic p12 which will have slightly higher temps due to lower rpm or the gentle typhoons which performs almost 98% the same but are hard to find.

Im grabbing it if the chromax version comes out next year to replace my old gentle typhoons... because i dont like the poop brown colour

people want to spend money what to do 

all 3080s are the same from 3299 to 4699
more performance needs to wait until a 3080ti or just pay 2x for a 3090 now

So Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) not really good with Ubisoft game? maybe disable this setting can improve FPS for watch dog legion?

Thanks a lot for all the value input, I will check it out accordingly. If 12.12 got promotion, I may consider, else probably wait next year then.

Maybe I will invest soundcard first, later on just move to bookshelf speaker.

Still discussing about audio in a GPU thread? Come on guys.

Just get a JDS Labs Element 2 and call it a day. You don't need anything better nor do you want anything worse. For speakers and headphones, it's simply too long and complicated to discuss on this thread.

Let's get back to nvidia, shall we?

tuf 3080 selling at msrp?

im still putting hope on tuf3080 non oc at msrp.... lol

The usual fail pricing from Asus Malaysia. Avoid it.

yeah. it’s an ITX and only has 1 slot.

MSI B450i apparently this board has 2xm.2 slot as well but one of it is used by a wifi adapter. So it’s unclear whether this is running off the chipset or off the cpu. cant find any info about this.

only way to know is cloning the m.2 ssd to a 2.5sata and take it out to test.

some mobo allows 1 nvme m.2 and 1 sata m.2 so that won't eat up gpu pcie lane

else why there is difference between mainstream and HEDT

yes, because most M2_2 is sharing with gpu pcie lanes, so no matter your M2_1 is pcie or sata, M2_2 forever sharing with gpu pcie lanes so M2_2 limited to use pcie m.2 ssd

mate... for b450 wifi is usually running off the 6pcie2 lanes. for itx board without pcie slots they'll most certainly be running the m2_2 slot off the cpu lanes, just like the m2_1.

Sekian my findings... means i have to disable the onboard wireless devices huhu if i wanna continue using my m.2

they are cheeky to not put the wifi in the blcok diagram or mention what happens if you use m2_2 & m2_1 but it's really quite obvious where the m_2 slots will be connected to.

we're talking past each other.
his board got two m.2 slots with one being used for wifi.
yours got 2 for 2280's.

but my mistake, I read over the wifi on the strix. so you're right on that.
(just noticed the strix is the only b450 itx board with two full sized m.2 slots)

So next year no more graphic card that in price range RM1000-RM1200?

X570 over b550 is primarily the additional bandwidth offered on x570 chipset .. however most if not all ITX board wouldn't have enough port to fully utilize the bandwidth..

rm3.4k sweetspot card lmao, I remember my 970 and 1070 were like 1.5-1.7k 

Car looks straight out of Playstation 1.
