    [SOLVED] 8700k OCed with H115i

    Hey guys! I need help regarding my 6 months old gaming PC. I got an 8700k paired with an MSI Z370 Gaming Plus and a Corsair H115i. I got 2 issues with it so far. The AIO is too damn loud, even at 60% and a headset, it's unbearable. Any recommendations for some good and silent 140mm static...

    XBox One Controller post 360

    Hello! My X360 Controller just died and I want to switch to the XOne's. I have a couple of questions though. 1) Any difference, incompatibility or things to know vs. the 360's on Win10 64bits? 2) I got the Gigabyte Wifi card with bluetooth 4.2, do I still need a dongle of some sort? 3) Do I...

    Delidding 8700K and TIM?

    Top o' the morning everyone! I got myself an 8700KK last year (new so still 2 years of warranty), but it's far from being a golden chip. It's running at 4.9Ghz at 1.35V on an MSI Z370 Gaming and cooled with an H115i. I reapplied some new thermal paste (Gelid GC Extreme), but still way too hot...

    Corsair h115i / 8700K: Quiet but hot

    Hey guys! I got a question, never had an AiO before and after a recent upgrade, I have now an 8700k at 4.9Ghz (1.35v) cooled with a Corsair h115i. The latter's fans are loud past 70% (1300-1400rpm) but the CPU stays relatively cool at 50°C at 50% load. I did an experiment yesterday, setting a...

    SSD or SSHD?

    Hello guys! My HDD recently just stopped working, I used it mainly to store my games, I'm getting a new storage device soon but not sure which one I should pick. Either a Samsung 860 evo 250GB or a Seagate Firecuda 1TB. The extra storage space would be great but on the other hand, faster loading...

    HDD at 100% with over 20,000 ms

    I had all the important files and documents backed up on an external HDD, so not worried about that, just trying to figure out if I can save the HDD or if it's gone. I'll try to pick up a spare sata cable and try it.

    HDD at 100% with over 20,000 ms

    Hey folks! I got an issue since yesterday with one of my HDDs, a WD 500GB bought new 2 years ago. Since yesterday, I cannot access any program on it, always at 100% and peeks at 20,000 ms. I disabled all Windows 10 features that might interfere (win search, superfetch etc.), no success. I did a...
