Hi, I'm wondering how you provide power for you SSDs and other components that require the same cables. I have some tight space for some SSDs behind the motherboard, and then another one down in the hdd bay. I also have a corsair controller for the RGB on some fans, that one is also powered by...

I recently bought a new smaller case, and I had 3 SSDs from before, totaling at just under 1TB. I wanted a new one but but didn't really have the space for another 2.5" and the cables. I remembered that my MB has an m.2 port and went with a pretty cheap Intel 660P 1TB. Are these speeds what...

Thanks for the quick replies. When home i usually walk around in sweat pants, t-shirt and socks. Sometimes warm slippers when it is cold. I am not sure what bounce is sorry. How should I discharge myself before I sit down at the computer? Hopefully I did not damage anything more on my...

Hello. I recently got a shock when i touched the metal on my usb front port and after that my speakers and headset did not sound right. Both front and rear 3.5mm ports did not work correctly. The sound was crackling very much and came mostly on the right side of my headset. So I had probably...

It's around 20 degrees in the room. I currently use 2 fans, the two 140mm 1000rpm Fractal fans that came with the case. One in the front and one in the back. I have 5 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm in my old case and I was thinking about using maybe one or two of those, but the temps seem good...

Hey, I got the components today and installed everything. I have just installed drivers etc, going to download Windows updates and program next. Anyway I want your opinion on something, while I was installing the Noctua heatsink I thoght both screws were tighhtened but when I released my hand...

Thanks but nah.. I like to do a fresh install and format the drives. I might have been exaggerating a bit because I'm about done right now. I transferred the images etc to my back up drives and that's about it. But it has happened that I forget things like deactivating some program that have...

Thanks. I've been playing it some recently to learn it, and I was hoping to be able to play it with Oculus Rift later and maintain the minimum of 75/90 FPS. Probably doable if I lower some settings. But now to the boring part of having to reinstall Windows, going through the computer for...

I changed my mind once again and ordered 4790K. I can post some comparisons between i5 750 @3.6GHz and 4790K in different games if you want.

Well now that I'm running a GTX 980 and my i5 750 I can tell you what I've experienced so far. I ran some benchmarks in Mafia 2 yesterday with my single GTX 580 1.5GB at 1440P and all settings to max, including PhysX to High. These are some results. GTX 580 Stock 2.6GHz Highest...

Okay I have to admit that I'm very unsure what to do again. I assume I would be able to run my i5 750 with my Corsair h50 cooler at around 4GHz with good temps. It's just that I've never been interested in overclocking and I don't know how it works. There are the Automatic settings in BIOS...

Are you sure about that? I don't know much about overclocking but when I used my motherboards Auto OC setting to 3.6GHz that only gave me a 5-10 fps boost in the CPU heavy DCS World. Same setting gave me only around 2 fps increase in another game. It feels like 4790K would do a huge difference...

Okay thank you. I will go with the Asus Z97-A and 8GB of Corsair CL9 1600MHz (2x4GB). I already have 8GB of those so I'll end up with 16GB, 4x4GB. If I understood it correctly, using only 2 channels with 2x8GB is better. But I won't really notice a difference I assume.

I think read on some forums that they seem to get really hot even with expensive coolers, even at stock clock if I'm correct (maybe not). Is that anything you've heard about? Perhaps I'm confusing it with another CPU.

Price isn't that much of a concern for the 4790K but 5820K and the expensive DDR4 is starting to get a little to much. After some thinking I can't really justify the extra cost for a 5820K and I think I will go with the 4790K. I noticed in a few games today how much my CPU really is holding me...
