    System needed to be troubleshoot

    It's what Lenovo recommends for 4 long beeps, though now that I've reread your post it might not work Are the beeps 4 long ones or 3 short ones followed by 1 long one?

    Buzzing fan on 4080

    It sounds like an issue with the manufacturing tolerance of the fan and the plastic mould surrounding the GPU Is it a gigabyte card by chance? They've had an issue with that before and it sounds like a pretty common problem But nothing concerning as long as the temps are fine and the fans are...

    UPGRADE HELP (RAM & HARD DRIVE)

    Whatever SSD you get (I assume you meant 1TB), I would highly recommend one with a DRAM cache It will be much faster than one without Your RAM is limited to whatever your motherboard can support, if you are planning to add 2 sticks then I'd recommend sticking with the purchising same sticks you...

    GPU/Part shortage officially over?

    Mainly music production/recording, streaming, and high refresh rate gaming (preferably close to 200fps in competitive titles like apex/warzone) Ableton by itself is very cpu hungry and regularly hits 100% cpu useage The 3600 was and still is a good deal for casual use and am definitely keeping...
