    which of the following case fans would benefit me best for this build?

    Three 120mm fans will have more volume over time than two 140mm fans, simply by the fact that there is more cross sectional area for the 120mm fans. Take for example: https://www.zonadigitalsv.com/product/ventilador-rgb-sharkoon-silent-storm-pwm-140mm-4044951035342 and...

    4090 Strix RGB cable broken -- need photo

    Wires are, as long as you don't tamper with them too much, pretty resilient in maintaining their shape. If I had to guess I would say the wires go into the connection in the order they appear on the photograph. However, you should verify this with a continuity tester (or a DMM in resistance...

    RTX 3060 running on 210hz even at 100% usage, GPU-Z showing 0W power draw and 4000 V voltage??

    If it's 6 months old I'd say submit a request for RMA.

    What can I replace an elevated switch such as the one on the Pulsar Xlite 2 with?

    From the photo provided it looks like a standard switch in a socket, but without being able to see the switch removed it's just an educated guess. It could be soldered or welded in place.

    Cougar Argo - Angle Adjustor - locking problem

    Your Argo computer chair only has a warranty for 1 year, which means Cougar is telling you that they expect your chair to be fully operational for a minimum of one year. It is time to get a new chair. Perhaps one with a warranty length that fits your expectations?

    ASUS does not honor it's warranty

    Actually the party responsible for handling warranty claims is dependent on the agreement between the manufacturer and the business selling the product. It is possible for all warranty claims to go through a seller and not the manufacturer. When dealing with warranty issues, you should always...

    doubt pressure microsd card slot

    The spring release is there to overcome the natural friction of the cage pressing the card into the contacts of the port. Generally this is fine as long as the port isn't abused, but there is a failure mechanism called chip creep where the chip, or card in this case, can become loose over time...

    SSD Defragging: The safe way

    Mussels, can you explain how your own testing validates your post? Right now I think this is either flawed testing, or false results, although I haven't done any tests myself, what I see is you've defragmented a drive and eliminated 77 fragmented files, reduced its fragmented files size by...

    Strange fan behavior RTX 4080 Founders Edition

    Sounds like your PSU is going bad. I'd swap it for a known good one, especially since this one is 2 years out of warranty.

    Monitor says no signal (gpu problem)

    It's hard to tell from your photograph, but the right-hand connector may or may not be fully seated. Double check that you can't remove it without unlatching it, and that the plug has clicked into place. Also have you tried using other ports on your graphics card? Do the fans spin up on the GPU...

    Particular sequence of use ends up with corrutped file system when using USB3 SATA dock

    Good to see you have a resolution! I didn't even know Fast Startup was a thing, and it looks like its on by default. Now I know one reason why Windows behaves this way!

    Does antifreeze work well for watercooling loops!?

    I think you don't know what you're talking about. Considering that you repeatedly can't tell the difference between ethelyne glycol and methylethylene glycol after being informed of the differences, maybe you should just stick to air coolers :)
