Certainty I agree. I good super good feedback and opinions. I didn't know it was such adventure to cool these downs. I will explore my case clearance before getting a bigger fan tower. At least in pictures they look huge. But at the end if I cannot get a nice fit then I will need to explore the...

Chill out Karadjgne, some of us arent that wise , not sure where all the buzz about M2 or drivers/ports come from, I didnt ask anything about that. I got your point of a cheap cooler, actually I didn't went cheap, i choose a noctua, but just not a big monster like you mentioned, if i find thats...

Hell, now you made me wonder if I should just stick with a i5 13600 instead of the mid beast i7 that goes up to 250w

Thank you for that explanation @Karadjgne - certainly things havent change much, but CPU thermals had do, back on my days the cpu came with a fansink and thats it! hehe I do use from time to time rendering, a lots of VMs, some large compiling and whatnot, but I get your point, I will see if I...

Thanks @IceQueen0607 , Actually I realized I needed a CPU cooler AFTER purchased and posting this, I was confident it was in the box but looks like nope nope Its incredible how big and expensive these have get, I'm shocked by their size, browsing around found the Noctua NH-U9S, which seems...

So, I hope not to get blamed by not using google to search for answers on this, most likely I'll find them, but hey, this is what forums are for right? :) I bought a z690 Gigabyte mobo + 13th Intel I7 + 2x32 DDR4 + 2xM2 Drives - I also changed my PSU to a CORSAIR 750W Modular PSU All this is...

@Why_Me Thank you again for introducing me that B660 option, I have been reading in and out the differences to the z690 and honestly I don't need anything from it, this is just going to use 2x M2 disks, couple of SATA for storage and a mediocre old GTX 1070 that I don't want to upgrade yet. I...

Oh wow, thanks for the information, I havent even looked at other chipsets because google told me the z690 / 790 was the go to option I'll research on the B660 / 760 alternatives and try to come up with a decision !

So, time has come to update my old system, built like 5 years ago, and I always loved/used Gigabyte motherboards, so I went with the Aorus z690 option, although there are some many models i still cant figure which one. What I had clear is that I wanted to go with DDR4, just because 5 is so much...

I have a GTS250 PCIe card which was running fine, i had to leave town for a couple weeks and left the PC off, now that i get back i found the following problem. whenever i first turn on the pc, windows will boot up normally but hung after loading the video driver, and the give me a BSOD and...

Well, i do know that i can lose a disk, thats the point, but im a bit fear about manually breaking the raid and the fact that the disks end "empty" after the break to be honest, hehe. So what would be the best way to go again? you recommend just to migrate the disks to the new mobo without...

Im currently running a RAID-1 setup with 2 WD disks (of course) using the Intel chip/storage on my current motherboard, a gigabyte GAP35c. Im now going to migrate to a new motherboard which is a GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD5H . Question is how to rebuild or even better keep the raid without of course...

Thank you very much for all the answers i have opted to go for 2x8 then as there is no actual speed gain in using 4x4, and i can upgrade later on if needed, this machine is not used for gaming, its mostly for testing, developing, media centre, and playing with random games occasionally ... All...

I'm getting a new mobo and CPU, those are going to be "Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H Z87 LGA 1150" for the mobo and "Intel Core i5-4670K" for the CPU, and I also need to purchase some memory I'm aiming to get 16Gb total memory so my first question is, would i benefit from getting 4x4Gb modules or 2x8Gb...
