Good job Kyle! A review that makes sense for a change, after the utter nonsense the HardwareCanucks produced recently:

Not 100% if I understand you corretly! Going from 240mm to 360mm on the 3770K won't improve the situation there. Looking at your temps with the 240mm, you are struggling with bad heat transfer between DIE und IHS, only delidding and liquid metal will help there.

Germany is the biggest market in EU (suprise, suprise ...) and german E-tailers like Mindfactory, Alternate and Hardwareversand also attract al ot of customers from other EU countries beside Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Reason being that pricing in germany is usually the lowest for PC...

ok

Hmm - one of the few times where I can't follow the reasoning in the conclusion. True - Vega56 looks much better compared to it's conterpart from NV than 64, but at roughly the same price and performance as the 1070 it still looks kind of bad because of power consumption and the resulting issues...

Delid Mate 2 will be compatible with Coffeelake

If you are planning on reattaching the IHS stay away from paste between DIE and IHS. Many pastes (for whatever reason) show increased temps after a few months. LM is the way to go in that case.

Afaik the first LM "pastes" had some issues with long term stability, but the ones nowdays should be fine between DIE and IHS.

Sorry don't know what "Tails" is :(

Something messed up here - I wouldn't trust any program within your current W10 installation, as you said yourself "It first started with windows 10 after creators update going all bonkers" I would make backups of both disks and install a seperate OS (Linux or Windows 7/8) on a USB stick or...

LTT video demonstrating exactly what stunt Intel pulled here - comparing a HDD machine against the same one with Optane as a cache drive (repetitive tasks) while omitting the performance numbers for the same machine with a regular SSD (be it SATA or NVMe) Ofc it's on LTT - where else can you...

People who claim there is no difference between 30/60/144Hz should be perma banned. That 's the amount of stupid I'm not willing to deal with.

This comparison is slightly off. Nowdays Nvidia is selling their higher midrange cards for highend prices (xx70 and xx80) - DIE size/transistors. Can't remember exactly when NV made that switch, but probably had something to do with the lack of competition from AMD. The real highend cards (Ti...

A.C. Liquid Freezer 240mm ~70€ runs circles around that. Fuck LEDs

When I look at the X370 boards I basically see Z170/270 with a (near) X99 price tag. Less lanes, half the number of RAM slots (tracing them is not uncomplicated) ... I don't like that at all.
