    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    I'm American, but I ordered from French Amazon cuz they had them in stock and shipped to America. Right now i'm having huge problems installing Windows 10 though. I keep getting IRLQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL errors like 10% into the install. Right now I'm cloning another Windows 10 OS that's...

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Correct. Really pisses me off that EVGA would charge $200 for an ITX board with no wifi and no internal usb 2.0 ports for my H100i, so I have to run the cable out the back and into the rear I/O. This is why monopolies are bad, children. When you only have one product on the market, they can...

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Still building atm, I'll update in a little bit lol. My Ncase M1 build is going along great. It did boot though, so now its all just putting it together and loading windows. I'm using an H100i GTX, so it should be interesting.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    My i7 6700k arrived from France today! The processor was literally just sitting inside the box, outside the protective plastic. Fuck you Amazon for selling the processor I ordered to someone else and making me wait for the next shipment. Fuck you Intel for making me order from French...

    Why does ASUS have like 15 motherboards on sale, but no ITX?

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    I finally got the email this morning that French amazon has shipped my i7. Should get over here in America by Wednesday, and cost <$400 including tax, so not bad. Free shipping because they fucked up my order too.

    Sorry for the confusion, I'm American lol. Sort of changes the meaning of my post. Should have specified.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    But that includes VAT. Americans don't pay that, so if we import it, it would be cheaper.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    I just got my email from French Amazon saying that they don't have the i7 I ordered last week. Google translate isn't the best, but I think they are saying I won't have to pay for shipping when it eventually gets restocked. "Aucuns frais d'envoi ne vous seront facturés pour l'envoi de vos...

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    On the plus side, maybe I'll have time to wait for a m-itx motherboard that isn't overpriced and shit (EVGA Stinger). Seriously, $200, no wifi and no USB Type C.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    I emailed French Amazon asking why they haven't shipped my i7 yet, and they're like "I can't ship you one cuz we're out of stock" I ORDERED IT 4 DAYS AGO AND YOU SOLD IT TO SOMEONE ELSE holy shit. Guaranteed Delivery by Tuesday my ass.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    And it's like 10pm in France right now. Do the French even work on Saturdays? I want to call and ask when they will be shipping it, but I'm afraid at this point that they'll just cancel my order after seeing I'm American.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Looks like French Amazon stopped allowing Americans to buy i7's just now. Plus, it says only 7 left in stock. I'd sure be pissed if they cancel the order I already placed.

    Lazy French refuse to ship my thing in the middle of the night!

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Oh shit, I thought you were talking about dominator platinums lol. Yeah, the dominator 3200 16gb kit is $460 on amazon. I have no idea why they are that expensive for the exact same clock as the ones you posted.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Yeah, just a bit, lol. You could get the 32gb kit of the exact same ram instead of the 16gb kit for the same price, but slightly lower clocked.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    $450 for 16gb of ram? Buy a 5960X if you feel like spending that much money. The 400 extra mhz isn't worth $200.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    No, but it isn't really that bad. I just ordered my i7, and it's cheaper than .com because import taxes are cheaper than sales taxes, plus Americans don't pay VAT. The website layout is exactly the same as .com, so if you've ever used that before, it's not too different.

    Skylake/Z170 finally available

    Yeah, that's the only one I can see. I can't tell if $200 is overpriced for what you get. Any opinion? I might get that, plus the french amazon i7.

    Any news on when the mini-itx motherboards will be released? All I'm seeing is ATX

    Meanwhile, every store big and small in Europe had them stocked on shelves the second they were announced. WTF Intel.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I got my case a few days ago, and I didn't even choose the most expensive shipping option. Sorry for those that are still waiting.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I'm sure the Fury will be a popular card in this case, and there shouldn't be any mounting issues, as people have already fit water cooled Nvidia cards in their systems. Also, the v4 that is currently open to orders is the first production run of it, so buy this version. The v4 is so new that...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    This isn't really case related, but in your opinion, would air flow or static pressure fans work better to funnel air into and around the GPU to cool it better since the fans are directly below the card? The GPU does have it's own fans, so i'm wondering if pushing hot air away from the card with...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Would putting two 120mm fans as intake have a significant effect on case temps? I would definitely keep the GPU unmodified. I know non-blower coolers are bad for case temps in cases this small, but with enough fresh air, would it be acceptable?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    If I were to put two 120mm fans below a dual-fan style graphics card, would intake or outtake be more effective at lowering GPU or Case temps. Also, would airflow or pressure optimized be more effective?
