    Best bang for buck i7 7700k 5GHZ OC z270 Motherboard?

    I am definitely going with the asrock z270 line. Liking both the killer and extreme. Both good overclockers

    New 1600x build woes

    I just built a new ryzen r5 1600x system and am having some weird sporadic issues. At first, I had installed most of the software/drivers that came with the motherboard and seemed like software was working well together. Some games lagged, the system wouldnt reboot properly. Meaning it would...

    Are these PC specifications good?

    I built my wife a 6800k for editing and have no complaints even in gaming. Everything looks pretty good to me other than UPS. I know nothing about them. I built her 6800k on an Asus X99 A-II and it works great, overclocks great. She is sitting at 4.2 stable with ram at 3000 even though this...

    Mobo or graphics card bad?

    another thing thats wierd, is the card does work. Its only after I put a load on it that it pixelates and crashed. THAT could mean psu yeah? Like the gpu would draw more wattage and the psu couldnt supply it so crash. THoughts?

    Mobo or graphics card bad?

    The power supply issue was raised in my head, but in this case its fairly new and came over from the z97 build. well actually i just took the z97 components out of the case and put in z170 (mobo, cpu, ram and new cpu cooler). I have a 550w, but havent looked to see if it can handle the system...

    Mobo or graphics card bad?

    I tried the second slot and same issue. THe power supply is a 750w EVGA gold. I am looking into rma'ing the card, but cant seem to find the serial number. None of the numbers alot the bottom will take on the asus rma page. Their site says the sn is on the back of the card but theres a backplate.

    Mobo or graphics card bad?

    I will try to keep this short. I built an i5-6600k with asus z170e motherboad and asus strix 980ti oc edition. WHen the card was in my z97 build i had a mild overclock on it. WHen I built into the z170 board, about 2 minutes into unigine after putting the OC on, pixelation on the screen and...

    New PC build: GTX 1080 vs 1070 - Brand suggestions (EVGA, ASUS etc)

    My vote for 1080p gaming is the 1070. No way in hell you are gonna max that card out on anything. Just install your hw/sw, run benchmarks to measure temps and that performance is where it should be. Then just get your game on. Turn fps counter off. And feel the game play. Like just play...

    Phanteks Eclipse overheating issues

    im using the logitech arx app for android. I will use something on the machine when I can get a second monitor hooked up.

    Is there anything better than the Phanteks PH-TC12DX at a similar price (maximum 60$)?

    10 bucks more and you can have a low profile water block instead of the massive heatsink. Just a thought. I ran the h60 for a year and finally just got the h100i. Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60

    Phanteks Eclipse overheating issues

    Ok, so my current situation is I just rebuilt a skylake system into my phanteks eclipse p400 and its still overheating. I had a 4970k build with asus strix 980ti and it would run hot so I had to game with the front panel off. Well thats still the problem with skylake. I also went from...

    980ti strix fitment

    Hmm I think you may have looked at a different case as the hard drive cages are under the "floor" of the case in the eclipse p400. I asked to be notified by email of any responses here and got nothing so thank you and sorry for my late reply. For anyone else that may wonder in the future, epic...

    980ti strix fitment

    I am picking up an asus 980ti strix for dirt cheap and I know it won't fit in the case I have. Wondering if it will fit in a phanteks eclipse p400. Thanks
