I have no problem with noise. I would prefer the case fans be on maximum all the time anyway. I have an air purifier on in my room all the time that is way louder than the PC so I can never hear PC fans anyway no matter how loud they are.

Thanks for confirming. Someone else instructed me on how to adjust the fan height. That information is nowhere in the manual or the video install guides. You can see the entire manual here: http://www.cryorig.com/installation/CRYORIG_H7_Installation_Guide_v1.0.pdf I already have 3...

1. So I've decided to rotate my CPU cooler 90 degrees just to be safe even though I might be able to get away with it the way it is (it'll be a PITA to clean and reapply thermal paste but if nothing else, I can use all of my RAM slots this way). But to do that I might have to remove or raise...

I have a new build in progress (this is my second PC build from scratch ever): Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151...

Oh yeah, I know from hard experience not to boot up a CPU without a cooler, I destroyed a CPU (a very old one fortunately) last year doing just that. And there's absolutely no apparent external damage. It was inside a plastic shell inside a cardboard sleeve when it hit the ground...

I accidentally dropped my brand new Intel CPU about 4 feet onto my hard wood floor. It was in partial packaging - basically I opened the box, turned it upside down and shook it until the contents fell out, but instead of falling onto the table, it bounced off and onto the floor. Since it's a...

Recently, my PC (about 7 years old now, but altered/upgraded many times since) started experiencing some serous issues. One day, I suddenly had to disable USB booting in BIOS or it wouldn't recognize my hard drives. It is often slow to boot and/or shut down - though it will almost always boot...

Maybe. The way I understand it, vdroop is how much the voltage to to your CPU drops when the CPU goes from idle to load. This is to prevent too much voltage from being supplied or something when there is a voltage change. So if it "droops" less, performance is higher and more stable. So...

These are my BIOS settings for my CPU (all default except for VR Droop Control): Processor VR Droop Control - High, Medium, or Low - defaults to High, I set to Low Voltage Offset (mV) 0 Turbo Ratio 0 Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio 34 Host Clock Frequency 100 Runtime Turbo Ratio - Checked Intel Turbo...

I recently "upgraded" to a new motherboard, CPU, CPU Cooler, and PSU after I damaged my old CPU and motherboard. It wasn't much of an upgrade because I wasn't sure what components were damaged and I wanted to swap as few parts as possible so I tried to stick to my old LGA socket...
