Can someone explain this to me? Warning I get on pcpartpicker when I check certain PSUs.
"The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the XXX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."
So I need to be sure any psu I get has the the extra ATX connector?
I ran into this problem with the most recent build for my neighbor. After diving into research on it - Yes. It's there just for supplemental power, ideally for OC'ing like Noodle said. I also ran into the problem of the PSU not having the additional 4 plug connector as well. I was under the impression that I needed that extra source plugged in regardless of OC'ing or not. So I bought a Molex to 4 pin 12V and it worked like a charm.
Theyre like 8 bucks w/Amazon. The MSI 470X mobo that he chose to use out of simply not having the Mobo of choice (shipping and availability restraints on the rest) - comes with so much OC'ing stuff, much less the EVGA case that he bought along with it - that really, mild OC'ing is so simple that there is no reason not to do it, at least if you have proper cooling.
Interesting a 200-300mhz upgrade doesn't seem, worth it currently.
Wonder how much longer till Carbon Nano-tubes or Graphene are gonna start being used for them.
If I had another 300mhz to add to each core on mine, that would be pretty significant with the amount of cores I have. I just think it's worth it personally, as long as the price is within reason.
2070 super installed.
It does run SIGNIFICANTLY colder than my Vega did. Right now its sitting at 39-42C. The Vega was always at at least 55C no matter what you were doing.
I put the 2080 I bought a few pages back into my neighbors build for a bit of pocket change extra - I put a dual fan 2070 Super from Asus into my g/f's. The reviews make the tri-fan model seem only marginally better, but I essentially just went with what was available anyways. With a 2070 Super, a 3700x AMD, and OC'd Trident ram - the inside of the case stays significantly cooler than the PC I use. She hovers around 44 degrees on all components, where Im closer to 58 with a 1080ti and older Intel. Noise level though? I'm sure the tri-fan design of the VC is much quieter than her dual fan VC. I rarely hear any fans in the rest of her case get to peak RPM.

My favorite part is that its probably a 2-3k computer and she's playing WoW. lul
