So the Deepcool CPU Cooler doesn't fit properly on the motherboard. The copper pipes are just a little bit too big and it won't go on properly without modification to the MOBO. Further research suggests that this is a common problem with the Z690 board about trying to get the Deepcool and Noctua...

I went with the build you recommended in your post, except I went with the upgraded fans you mentioned, the Noctua A14 x3. I have the case in but still waiting on other parts, should I use those 3 fans for the front (meaning get rid of the 1 front fan that came with the case) but use the one in...

Perfect, thanks so much for all your help and advice! I've ordered the relevant parts and within a couple days hopefully I'll have a much more powerful and quiet PC :)

I like this build but the compatibility issues at the bottom have me worried. Would it be better to get a different PSU like the Corsair RM850X? I don't see it saying an compatibility issues when I swap that one in. And about the daisy chaining with the GPU I'm not really sure what that...

When I got my current PC I got an optical drive but haven't used it once in the last 6 years I've had it, so I don't think so. I do have an external hard drive I can use!

No specifics for anything really, whatever would be best. If air cooling is better or easier to install I'd rather go with that. Color and RGB doesn't really matter since I'll be sitting so far away from it and "showing off" wouldn't really be something I'd care about. A side panel might be...

Approximate Purchase Date: The closer the better. Budget Range: Less than $1500. System Usage: Gaming, Videos Are you buying a monitor: No Parts to Upgrade: CPU and Cooler, Motherboard, Case, PSU, OS, Network Adapter, Thermal Compound Do you need to buy OS: Yes Preferred Website(s) for...

So really then: PS3: No 4K. PS4: No 4K. TV: No 4K. PC: 4K only on Desktop, but not games. So really, aren't I better off to save $300~+ and just get a native 1080p TV, since I'm probably going to be scaling down to that anyway?

Hi all. So I've just recently purchased a new TV to use as a jack of all trades display. I want to use it for my PC, PS4, PS3 and for watching TV. So, after checking out RTings reviews, I ended up going with the Samsung 43' MU6300 http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/mu6300 So, after...

So, people have been telling me to get a HDMI 2.0 cable, to see if that fixes the problem. However, as far as I know, my TV only supports up to 1.4, so I don't see it making a difference. If I were to buy a TV with HDMI 2.0 slots, and used a new HDMI 2.0 cable, do you think I'd see a...

Ah, perfect! That makes it easy :P [Edit] So I've been reading and these different sites are saying that the type of HDMI you get doesn't matter? So should I g out and pick up a $50 cable or will it not make any difference? Does anyone here have firsthand experience with switching from old...

Thanks for your reply RobCrezz! Unfortunately, I've made sure that it's in "Full" and "Full Pixel", so it's definitely not over scanning. The scene selects don't really do much, as you can manually adjust what they changed to look exactly the same in any scene, whether it be Graphics, Animation...

Thanks for your responses :) Yes, unfortunately this TV doesn't have a DisplayPort port. This is coming after using a very old PC (Windows Vista. Nvidia 260) where I had a perfect image/text. So as you guys can imagine, it's quite mind-boggling. Same TV, same HDMI, different computer. The...

Using a Nvidia 1060 with my 40' Sony Bravia KDL-40EX521. Not able to get the right picture I want (blurry text, especially in red/white areas). I've been troubleshooting for over 3 weeks now, so it's between continue to use HDMI to HDMI, or try Display Port to VGA. Just wanted to see if...

Is Display Port on TVs a regular thing yet or will I have to pay outrageous money for that? I've looked at monitors, and getting anything above 32 is quite the price :(
