Not right now. Socket AM4 is coming. Launch with Bristol Ridge APU or Summit ridge (Zen) possibly this year.

GTX 980 Ti was released 2015 but architecture was released 2014 (GTX 750 Ti), as GTX 980 Ti is nothing else than bigger 750 Ti. Manufacturing tech is from 2011. So architecture is 2 years and manufacturing tech 5 years old. There is nothing to discuss, GTX 980 Ti is old technology in both...

Usually it doesn't matter ho many processors you have. All that matters is amount of CPU cores amount and power. Dual CPU is quite "invisible" to applications. Somewhat harder but I don't consider that critical. Link to that compatibility list? I expect that it leaves 90% of compatible...

I have much information but what exactly you want to know?

Raijintek Aidos offers excellent price/performance ratio if available.

Can the BIOS be unlocked or flashed to use BIOS for overclocking or does it need to be software overclocked: Probably not. OEM machines usually are not overclocking friendly. Where can I find the correct motherboard manual: Google 531966-001, it founds something Where can I find the information...

Yes, try that first and see what happens.

38 idle is not very cool, but it's common that temperatures under idle are not very accurate. You said you already had Noctua low profile heatsink. So why not just buy fan for it? Fan model should be NF-A9x14.

Fifty bucks for a fan? Link?? Haswell is not running cool because thermal paste under HS offers very low conductivity. It's done by purpose (so that CPU's/motherboards broke faster).

Haswell's suck because thermal paste under CPU heat spreader is comparable to tooth paste. So you need good heatsink to keep CPU cool. That is Intel's "quality". As you said, best way is to replace fan (not necessarily heat sink) under it and see if that helps. Nothing is necessarily broken...

Uninstall graphic drivers, install latest ones and see if that helps. For uninstalling, you can use http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=5

Try different power connector and different SATA cable for drives.

I also don't have further ideas. Might be software/driver issue. If is, then it's much harder to solve.

Perhaps Windows power saving options may also help? Hard to say where to look in your BIOS because all BIOS's are different.

You can also try if better cooling helps. That drive overheats. Also if CPU load goes up, it probably gets more cooling and work faster.

Perhaps it has something to do with CPU's PCI Express controller. Other than that I have to admit I'm out of ideas.

Try that first and see what happens. If CPU load does not affect speed, then it's more load type question.

Might be something to do with SSD load type also. You can easily test this by putting CPU some dummy work, like Prime95 running on small/large amount of threads and see if that shows similar results.

What you mean saying "CPU maxed out"?

As 2006, Pelvis_3 may had AthlonXP that had no heatspreader...
