15 % of the 26 come from fixed stats , so it ' s more about the right cards than good luck in rolling for random stats . And I don ' t believe it will always be a downgrade in a oneforone replace situation Can you list out all your cards ? I ' m interested to take up the challenge to do a oneforone exchange and will not result in a downgrade . <| sep |> its mostly cosmetics but I ' m sure the r 5 would help a little with sound . A couple years ago I upgraded to the r 5 and also upgraded other parts like to a noctua d 15 cpu cooler , noctua case fans , and a gpu that idles with no fans on . Its silent besides when in demanding games . Its damn near impossible to keep GPU silent andthats the only thing I hear . Its fine though because you can ' t hear it unless you try . headphonesspeakersstuff like ceiling fan or minifridge . Only option past this stuff is watercooling which may be even louder depending on what you do . Not sure if that answers your question but I thought ir was relevant .
