Nice, while I was looking into it for you I boosted my own ram from the 1333mhz to 1600mhz by enabling profile also. Come on DDR3! You can last another 2 years till DDR5 hits the market!

Finally overclocked my i5-4670k to 4.3ghz and upgrading my RX470 to a GTX 1070 TI, that'll hold me over for a while. My CPU has done an admirable job lasting this long and I'm hoping it'll still manage 60fps in games for a while yet until I upgrade to Ryzen.

And yeah... I'm wary of getting a motherboard with a fan too. I'm kind of obsessed with having a quiet PC.

And not just for quietness, but also because a new fan is another component that can fail, and what happens when that fan fails?

Bad things, probably.

I found a program on Github called Libre Hardware Monitor that allowed me to manually control all PC fans from desktop. Either way, that being said, moving the PC parts to unobstruct all fans actually did the job, fan control or not.
