Thanks for the clarification. Have you got any idea what this "typical board power" means? It seems like a term that is not very well defined.

What does "aib cards" mean?

Thank you for the answer, do you have any idea if the 5700 XT will be around the same as the 2070 in that list? On AMD's website it says that the "typical board power" is 225W for the 5700 XT but is that some sort of average? It sounds like it could draw more power than 225W when stressed.

Hi. My computers PSU (650W) died after 10 years of service, and I am thinking of upgrading said computer pretty soon. At E3 I saw that AMDs releasing a "2070 equivalent" in the RX 5700 XT card which will hopefully lower prices on the 2070 when it releases. The question is how big of a PSU I...

Well I think it's pretty safe to say that my external harddrive is bricked. I tried connecting it directly with a SATA cable and it made my computer unable to boot. It says "Starting Windows" but just hangs there for an indefinite amount of time. As soon as I disconnected it I was able to boot...

Hi. I'm on the look out for a new laptop since my current one is getting fairly old and pretty slow. One of the biggest annoyances is it's inability to playback youtube videos/handle twitch streams without stuttering. I would like my new laptop to be able to do that. Can a dedicated GPU help...

Do you reckon that my cooler (Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME) would fit on the AsRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard?

Thanks for the suggestion, however as I said in my post I already have a HDD so I'm going to spend the extra money on CPU/GPU/RAM/MOBO. I can see the mobo is m-ATX, shouldn't it be ATX or does that not matter?

Thanks for the answer. Now can anyone tell me if the case is big enough for a 7970? And a great alternative to the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H? Would be much appreciated!
