MSI X570 Gaming Edge - PCIe slots
What about it?
Hi all,
I'm wanting to upgrade my storage as I currently have a 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD and a 500GB intel SSD 660p.
I'm looking at getting both a 1TB and 2TB Crucial P3 plus M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD. I've looked online and it's says the this motherboard has 2x PCIe 4.0 slots. I'm pretty new to PC upgrades and I've opened it up for the first time. Could anyone help point me in the direction of the PCIe 4.0 slots? Am I right in thinking that the slots on the left hand side are PCIe 3.0?
Fractal Lumen Pump Speed and Voltage
What about it?
Dear smart people of reddit,
I just (finally) completed a build using a 7800x3d on an msi mag x670e tomahawk wifi being cooled by a frsctal lumen s24 rgb. I figured out that the pump of the aio is constantly running at ~4100 rpm irrespective of cpu temp, causing an annoying high whine.
Unsurprisingly, the whine dissappears when I switch the pump settings in the msi uefi from pwm to DC, while turning on smart fan mode, resulting in 350 0rpm. However, as far as I understand, in smart fan mode the voltage will be at a minimum of 6v for 35C / 95F.
I have read somewhere on the internet that a pump voltage below 7v is not recommended. Is this an issue? Are there any alternatives for this setup?
Thanks!
