    Should I swap my K70 for something else?

    I recently got a new K70 LUX RGB due to my previous one developing a fault however I'm thinking about weather I should stick with the K70 or get something different? Three I have thought about are the K95 Platinum, Asus Claymore or CM Masterkeys (All cherry MX reds) Any other suggestions/advice?

    Random Shutdowns - Kernel Power

    Well taking on your advice, I have an advanced RMA on the cooler which is currently being shipped out to me, also I have done an advanced RMA on the power supply just in case. The problem has got much worse now, it's happening more frequently on the desktop and when it does it now, it just...

    Random Shutdowns - Kernel Power

    Ok so I ram Memtest for 16 hours, Got a total of 9 passes with 0 errors, So I ended the test and started with the Intel Burn Test. I put the test on Very high and my temps hit 90 degrees which surely shouldn't be right? My settings on the cooler (Corsair H100i GTX V2 ) were set so fans were on...

    GPU Stress Test Immediately Shuts Down PC

    In a separate thread I created I described that my PC is having issues, I'm getting the Kernal Power Error and I am doing everything I can to come find a solution. I have ensured my system has enough power with a 550W EVGA Supernova G2. (No Overclocking on the PC whatsoever) I downloaded...

    Random Shutdowns - Kernel Power

    For the past few days my PC has been randomly turning itself off and restarting with no warning, It has done it like twice while browsing the web but it does it mostly when gaming. Also a day or two before this started happening, I completely formatted the SSD and re-installed Windows 10. The...

    i7 6700K Temperatures?

    I was on the same game tonight, everything the same apart from I changed pump from performance to quiet and left fans on performance and the highest temp was 68 degrees, I don't think that's too bad overall, that's a 23 degree drop. The fans I have on my rad are SP 120's QE PWM, QE means the...

    i7 6700K Temperatures?

    I didn't think it would to be honest, although I think it is over 1000rpm difference and you can definitely hear it, I didn't think AIO's made any noise to be honest, this is the first one I've ever had. I think you could try different combinations, performance mode puts both the fans and the...

    i7 6700K Temperatures?

    For some reason it keeps picking best answer when replying using my phone, if you could deselect it once again that would be great I was on the game for at least 5 hours tonight, constantly checking my temperatures, and on performance mode they only hit a high of 64 degrees, that's a pretty big...

    i7 6700K Temperatures?

    I clicked best solution by accident so if a mod could deselect it or something I would be greatful. Although it is correct that it's more to go wrong, they still have good cooling performance I think, and the main reason I bought it to be honest was because of asthetics, air coolers are more...

    Good hardware, bad performance

    I know it sounds obvious but have you checked all the graphics settings? Maybe they are too high for your system to handle, I'm running a i7 6700k and a GTX 970 and it runs smoothly on high settings just for reference. Maybe try lowering the graphics a bit and see if it makes a difference. If...

    i5 6600k or i7 6700k with the gtx 1070 ?

    The i7 has got 8 threads compared to the i5 with 4, I would get the i7 as the extra threads help a lot with editing and rendering.

    Silent PC components?

    In regards to the H100i GTX noise, have you installed corsair link? Using this software you can turn the pump into quiet mode aswell as the fans which reduces RPM's leading to less noise. Another thing which is a mistake I made, if you have plugged the fans into the block itself, make sure they...

    Fan Placement Opinions

    I went with 2x120's because when I tried mounting the 140 that came with my case on the top near the rear it was a difficult fit, It was basically being blocked by the CPU cable at the top of the motherboard, I went with 2x120's for a better fit. I may try reversing the top two fans like you...
