Ok so I was having some framerate problems with some games couldent figure it out. seems to be better*

Other night I Decided to clean my computer out without the use of compressed air and cleaned everything with a paper towel and alot of Qtips (dry).

I unscrewed the the 2 fans my computer has and cleaned them pretty good and heatsinks all the ram and grafix card. I also Qtipped all connectors and all around the motherboard and capaciters. (stayed grounded to chassis during everything)

Why fan speed not Increase with load. Like backing up games on steam Was all power to backing up and now no change at all in fan speed or anything. Did I miss somthing when I was Doing this I know I got case fan backwards and flipped it back around and thats it.

Second random Question I have This computer was a store baught one from a few years back the manufacurers website says

Does that mean the limit of what the hardware will support or the OS it came with support originally had 32bit vista

Memory Support Four DDR2 800/667/533/400 MHz SDRAM slots

Support up to 4 GB system memory

Depends really, doesnt vista only see 4gb under 32bit? Not sure on the hardware capabilities as you havent mentioned what computer you have etc.

Has the fan ever gone on full under load? If it hasnt there might be an option in the bios to set the limit of it, not sure though.

You honestly can't expect us to help you with what you have just posted, right? Please provide at least some sort of detail - for starters, your system specs.. Second, are the fans hooked up to the motherboard, or the power supply (PSU)? Also, do they support PWM?

If they're hooked up to the motherboard, and support PWM, try using a program like SpeedFan. If they're hooked up to the PSU, they'll run at 100%.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
