My cpu: Intel Core i7-3820 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor cooler - Corsair H80 92.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Other parts: mobo - Asus Sabertooth X79 ATX LGA2011 Motherboard psu - Corsair Professional Gold 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply I've recently ordered a zotac 1080 but...

This is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/chrineal/saved/Bh9Zxr My current tower's front audio jack broke. I stepped on my headphone's audio cable and it broke the audio jack inside. Is there a way to fix this by just replacing the audio jack(or front panel)? If not then I'll...

pc spec: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/chrineal/saved/Bh9Zxr I don't have my pc with me right now so I can't check, but I'm not sure if I can support the 2x 6-8pin power for the amp extreme. So the 2x 6pin connects to an 8 pin power adapter which I would plug into my power supply right? Just...

Is the cooler the only difference between founder edition and non ref cards? And is the difference good or bad? It seems that the non ref such as zotac amp extreme is "better" than the zotac FE but why does the FE cost more?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XXqjVn I can probably build a top of line with latest parts for ~1200usd so I'm thinking about selling my old system. I'm thinking around 900... what do you guys think?

Hey guys, Here are the specs for the pc i build 3 or so years ago so its pretty old: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XXqjVn I'm thinking of upgrading to a gtx 1070 soon, maybe even a 1080 if i get a good price on it. Does my system look alright with the new card? Is there anything else I need to...

Hey guys, So my friend just upgraded to a 1080 and he's willing to sell me his msi gold edition gtx 980ti (not too familiar with this card) for $300. He bought it about 3 months ago, so it's in pretty good condition. Now, given that the 1070 is about $430, should I buy his 980ti for 300 or...

He's coming today. I'm going to run prime95 for 15-20 minutes while he's here, then run valley and check the specs. I'll run prime95 for longer after he leaves and ask him for refund if there's a problem but there shouldn't be. He's not really a random seller so I think everything should be...

If you are willing to make do with not the best and not the greatest, your system can easily last 3-4 years. But I do agree with MarkW. With your thirst for prestige and the extraordinary, I wouldn't be surprised if you went and purchased a 4k monitor. Even though your system can handle itself...

For prime95, do I run small ffts, in place large ffts, or blend? and if custom, what are the settings? also when I use hwmonitor, what temperature should my cpu gpu etc be at? I'm not sure what a healthy temperature is. Say before I run prime95 and after I run prime95 for half an hour(don't...
