    Windows 10 reactivation after tying different HDD/Win Version to same PC?

    @dark_lord69 I dont think you quite get what I mean. I took my HDD out of my PC and put it away, I did not put it into another computer or anything. Just disconnected from my system for the time being. The question is if I let him reactive his Windows 7 on my hardware (while his PC is broken)...

    Windows 10 reactivation after tying different HDD/Win Version to same PC?

    This might be a little more complex than the title suggests. My partner and I have almost identical computers with the only differences being the hard drives, GPU, PSU and Windows Versions. I have Windows 10 on my machine installed (upgraded for free) while he still has Windows 7 installed on...

    Corsair H80i V2/CM Hyper 212 EVO enough for a 4790K?

    My budget goes up to £100, so if you have other air coolers/liquid coolers to suggest that have the same size as the two mentioned above then feel free!

    Corsair H80i V2/CM Hyper 212 EVO enough for a 4790K?

    Replacing parts in my old computer bit by bit and I'm now owning a i7-4790K. Initially I wanted to pick up the Corsair H100i V2 cooler but my case does not support 240mm fans at the top or the back so I looked at the H80i V2 instead since that has a 120mm fan. Reading from reviews, they seem to...

    Still upgrade to an Intel i7-4790K/Socket 1150 MOBO in 2017?

    Those are mostly the H series which isn't really suitable for gaming/overclocking.

    Still upgrade to an Intel i7-4790K/Socket 1150 MOBO in 2017?

    The problem is the newest Kaby Lake models are not that massively better in perfomance than the 4790K, also there is no option for us to pay them off in instalments. Alongside that the motherboards are too pricy for us and I would have to upgrade to DDR4 which is way overpriced (we're replacing...

    Still upgrade to an Intel i7-4790K/Socket 1150 MOBO in 2017?

    Both our cases are big enough, full ATX. The price for a 4790K's is already calculated into our budget, and most of the stuff already got replaced. It's only the motherboards that are missing along with the CPU we chose. My main concern was since the 4790K has an 1150 Socket if it's still worth...

    Will Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC work with a 500W PSU

    You should get something around 550W-650W. With such a fantastic card, you shouldn't lack quality in all the other components. It's always suggested to get a good (but not overpowerful) PSU for gaming (at least 80+ bronze). I strongly suggest the EVGA 650 W G2 GOLD 80+ Modular but if you want to...

    Still upgrade to an Intel i7-4790K/Socket 1150 MOBO in 2017?

    First things first, I want to strongly stress that I am on a very tight budget due to upgrading two computers at the same time. We are currently replacing the PSUs, RAMs, 1 GPU and the MOBOs together with new CPUs. We have chosen to upgrade to the i7-4790K to complement our MSI GTX 970 4GB and...
