  19. <br>i9 10900KF 10 Core 125w   <br><i><b> $359.99</b></i>
  20. <br>This i9 replaces the i5 10600kf 125w 6 Core. This is probably the best CPU that can fit on a Z590 LGA1200 motherboard. (There are other versions of the i9 10900 that use fewer watts.) This one uses the full 125 watts, has 2/3rds more cores than the i5, has hyper threading while the i5 does not, (meaning the i5 has 6 threads, one per core, while the i9 has 20 threads, 2 threads per core. This adds up to more than 3 times as many threads.) It also has 3 levels of Cache, and is unlocked to overclock easily at 5 Ghz, (so overclock this one). Overclocking this i9 takes it from 3.7 Ghz, to 5.0 Ghz, which is both faster, and smarter than the i5. (There is also a complex method to overclock it to 5.3 Ghz, but that requires a newer BIOS, and is not needed at this point.) My conservative estimate shows this upgrade alone is a <br><b>3X better</b> improvement.<p></td></tr><tr>  
  21.            <td class="td">Thermal<br>Paste:   </td><td>  
  22. <br>TUNIQ TX-4 Extreme Performance 1 g Thermal Paste
  23. <br><b>$26.79</b> <p></td></tr><tr>  
  24.            <td class="td">Memory<br>Replace:   </td><td>  
  25. <br>Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB (2x32) DDR4 4000 CL18 Memory, 1.35 V, 18-22-22-42 Timing. TWO of these Pairs make 128 GB, which is the maximum for this Z590 Motherboard and the i9 that will go on it. These 4 chips will quadruple the present 32 GB Memory, and at a slightly faster Ghz speed. They are not cheap, but not hugely expensive. <br>484.99/pair X 2 pairs = <b>$969.98</b> My conservative estimate tells me this by itself is more than a <b> 4X better</b> improvement.  
  26. <p></td></tr><tr>  
  27.            <td class="td">Storage<br>Add:    </td><td>  
  28. <br>Enmotus FuzeDrive 1.55 TB M.2 2280 NVME Solid State Drive   <br><b>$299.99</b>
  29. <br>This M.2 M SSD is added to the Motherboard, at the M.2 presently open position behind the 3050. It sure looks like there is room. It has 131,072 MB Cache, so all memories work better while running more complex operations. (Check to see how to transfer Operating System if necessary.) My conservative estimate tells me that by itself, this is a <b>2 1/2X better</b> improvement. <p></td></tr><tr>  
  30.            <td class="td">GPU<br>Add:          </td><td>  
  31. <br>MSI GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB VENTUS 2X Video Card <b>$419.98</b> (I already have it in box from NewEgg.) This 3060 GPU is the next step up, and will add its 12 GB memory to the present 3050's 8 GB memory making a total of 20 GB Video Card memory, over twice as much GDDR6 Video memory as the present 3050 Card. <p>I have a 38" curved screen 3840x1600 monitor in mind for movies and streaming. It's 160 Hz, huge, and immersive. Low priority for now. LG UltraGear 38GN950-B 38.0", 1,500 Clams! This twin GPU setup will handle this beautifully. <p>Remember, the present z590 motherboard does have built in Sound, but not built in WIFI. So when installing the added 3060 Video Card, remove the Asus Xonar Sound Card and carefully box it. That will give more room for 2 Video Cards. Then, take the WIFI Card from the pcie x16 slot it is presently in, down to where the Xonar Sound Card was, into the pcie x1 slot it belongs in anyway. Right now it's in the lower pcie x16 slot only using a single thread of it. That will open the bottom pcie x16 slot for the second Video Card. The 3050 will have been temporarily removed to place the Enmotus 1.55 TB SSD into its M.2 M slot above, (north of), the present 960 GB SSD M.2 M slot. When putting the Video Cards back in, it may be better to put the 3060 in the top, (north),  position because it's shorter, and with the powerful Noctua fan set into the top of the case blowing in at 158 cfm, it can blow onto both of them, cooling things better. This is more than <b> 2X better</b> than with the 3050 alone.  <p>  </td></tr><tr>  
  32.             <td class="td">Case<br>Fan<br>Add:   </td><td>    
  33. <br>Noctua A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM 158.5 CFM 140 mm Fan  <b>$29.95</b> This should be sufficient extra cooling. If I suspect not, I could add another 140 mm, quieter RGB inlet fan at the top, and an 80 mm RGB exhaust fan at a low position on the rear of the case. Remember, it is a 3060, not a 3090 being added. The 3050 and 3060 are not known to be hot, but they will be close together, so I want plenty of circulation for them. <br>The Noctua A14 3000 rpm fan is noisy at full speed. I will want to make sure it is thermostatically controlled in some way, manually if necessary. But I think that PWM system takes care of that automatically, even adjusting the fan's rpm automatically between 800 and 3000 rpm. This fan is not a pretty little RGB fan. It's a serious air mover.  <p></td></tr><tr>

  35. <br><b> $22.99</b><br> Phanteks 16 Piece Computer Tool Kit -PH-TKT_01
  36. <br>This one is from evil company Amazon. The tool kit I end up purchasing is not necessarily this one, but will be something like this.
  37. <p> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099N5VY7P?tag=track-ect-usa-304491-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1">This one is a precision torque screwdriver</a>

  39.            <td class="td">Total<br>Cost:     </td><td>    
  40. <br><b> $1,659.91</b> For these upgrade parts only, not counting monitor.<br>Added to the <b>$2,079</b> original CLX cost, actual total cost of this upgraded computer will be <b>$3,708.96</b> This means the new total cost for this upgraded system will be <b>Twice</b> as much for a computer almost 3 times as good as the original which I am right now using. This is somewhere between a very good deal and a very excellent deal.<br>When averaging the improvements;
  41. 3x + 4x + 2.5x + 2x = 11.5x / 4 = Almost a<b> 3x improvement overall.</b>     <p></td></tr><tr>
  42.             <td class="td">Questions<br>and<br>Concerns:      </td><td>    
  43. <br>I've never done any of this before, but I think I can. there are however, some details I should know.
  44. <p>1. Where the CPU cooler is attached to the CPU, often there is a layer of thermal paste. I don't think my CLX was put together using thermal paste. Is thermal paste sticky like glue? How would I separate the cooler from the CPU if there is paste between them?
  45. <p>2. Will there be any liquid from my 360 cooler's radiator hoses to worry about?
  46. <p>3. After removing the i5 CPU, and boxing it, I set the i9 CPU in place, and it should lightly settle in place, with ZERO force needed. All those little pins. Sounds like some coordination and subtlety is needed, requiring a good feel for it. Then the motherboard's clip is set back down in place as it was with the i5. So far so good.
  47. <p>4. But is there anything else I should know?
  48. <p>5. Next is putting the cooler back onto the new CPU. I'll be getting some Tuniq thermal paste, supposedly the very best there is. I do not want to mess this step up. One thing I read said too little is better than too much. Another expert said to use plenty to keep the CPU good and cool. So this seems to be a touchy thing. Another site says whatever you do, don't spill a single drop onto the motherboard or else the motherboard is ruined because it'll short circuit, and ruin other parts.
  49. <p>6. One thing about this Tuniq paste is it is completely non conductive, but still, I wish to avoid any mess on my other parts.
  50. <p>7. Is there anything else I need to know about changing CPU's? Any software, startup routines? How do I overclock this???
  51. <p> OK 8. Swapping out the 2x16 3600 memory chips for the 4 new 4x32 4000 memory chips;
  52. <p>9. Is it just take out the 2 old ones, and put in the 4 new ones?
  53. <p>10. Ok, well that was easy then. Next comes the Enmotus M.2 M and the GPU's, and removal of the WIFI and Sound Cards.
  54. <p>11. These are done in a single coordinated sequence. There needs to be no Video Card attached to the motherboard when the Enmotus is put in place. They would be physically in the way.
  55. <p>12. Having the Sound and WIFI cards removed also will make things easier. (That WIFI card will be put back on later, and the Sound Card will not. This motherboard has built in Sound, but not built in WIFI.) Box the Asus Sound Card carefully after removing it.
  56. <p>13. So... A) Remove the 3050 B) Remove the WIFI Card C) Remove and box the Asus Sound Card. The 3060's box will be handy for things like that.
  57. <p>14. Place and mount the Enmotus M.2 M SSD. I sure think it's the spot just north of where the 960 GB SSD is. STUDY THE MSI motherboard schematics. REMEMBER, ONE of the THREE M.2 M slots is DISABLED because of the ALDER LAKE system of the CPU. I am not yet certain which one of the M.2 M slots gets disabled, nor even if it is any one specific one. This is so with the i5 and also with the i9. It's a 10th generation thing. Alder Lakes do this to LGA 1200 Z590 Motherboards.
  58. <p>15. Mount the 3050 in the bottom (south) pcie-x16 slot, then mount the 3060 in the top (north) pcie-x16 slot.
  59. <p>16. Question: Are there any other special things to do when mounting 2 Video Cards? Any adaptors, or 2 in 1 things to attach...Things I can think of include, a double hdmi plug set that outlet to a single hdmi??? Or any such other monitor connectors?
  60. <p>17. Mount the WIFI card into the very bottom slot, a pcie-x1. It may just be random concerning when to mount this one, whether after or befpre the 3050.
  61. <p>18. Mount and wire the Noctua 140 mm Industrial fan at the top, toward the front. There will be PWM connectors on the motherboard to connect. Make sure it has some form of controller. Dual speed would be nice, for 800 and 3000 rpm.
