I see that the board has lots of USB headers in the I/O port but I can't find any USB connectivity on the board itself. I'll be pairing it with an Hx850i and I want to use the corsair monitoring software which requires a USB connection to the mobo. Is this achievable with this board ? Thanks

Is it possible to overclock my cpu to the best it can be while also getting my ram to deliver what its rated? or do i have to choose? For example, if my 1600 has a max stable oc of 4ghz and my ram is rated for 3200, will i have to settle for an oc of 3.8ghz in order to get the 3200 rated ram...

Hi all, Confused about something. I have a corsair air 740 but haven't bought the rest of my parts yet. It says the case has a maximum CPU cooler height of 170mm, the Noctua D15 has a height of 165mm... great right? But will that also allow me to mount a top exhaust fan? Or will I only have...

I see all these after market gpu's with like 2-3 fans on them. Doesn't that completely ruin air flow in a case? Assuming normal GPU orientation with the fans facing downwards. Which way do the fans blow? Where does the card direct the air? I am very confused and there seems to be no good...

I game, run softwares like salesforce, watch videos, use mutliple tabs, Microsoft office, etc I am trying to decide between a ryzen 7 1700 or a ryzen 5 1600. Will those two extra cores be useful in games in a few years? I don't want to worry about upgrading for awhile and I've heard that quite...

Looking for a dust filter to attach to the bottom of my Corsair Air 740. I have 2x140mm intakes beside eachother blowing upwards and they're getting a bit of dust in the system. Now, there's like 100 dust filters on the market, I want one that won't block a ton of airflow but still blocks dust...

Hello, Looking at my Corsair Air 740, and then looking at the specs - It specifically says dust filters on ALL intakes. I cannot for the life of me find figure out if out how to remove the dust filter for BOTTOM intakes. Maybe there isn't one entirely... I literally can't tell. Any ideas?

I'm using the corsair air 740 with a noctua d15 and the d15 comes within mm of the rear and top exhaust fans....is this a bad thing? I've thought about switching to the kraken x62 to allow more room for the exhaust fans to do their thing. Haven't had any major temp issues, just curious

I'll either go with the Asus Prime x370- Pro Gaming or Astock x370 Taichi. Can't decide which one is the better bet. Anyone who owns one of these boards or knows which one would be ideal?

I want to know if I can use a 4pin y-cable to connect TWO nf-a14's to a SINGLE fan header and be able to have them potentially run on max speed. _____________________________________________________________________________ However, I am very confused about the specs and if this will actually...

I have two choices. 1) G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) ... $159.99 CAD DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Timing 15-15-15-39 Cas Latency 15 Voltage 1.2V VS 2) G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) ... $249.99 CAD DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Timing 14-14-14-34 Cas Latency 14 Voltage 1.35V...

I've been told that adding a side fan will help with GPU temperatures... So my question is would a side fan make sense with an open air (aftermarket) gpu? or would that just mess up airflow? Alternatively...would a side fan be more beneficial to a blower style gpu? Any ideas?

Hello, Will a side fan help cool down an open air/non-reference GPU?

Using the x370 ASUS ROG Crosshair Hero mobo and an ADATA XPG SX8000 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive as my ONLY storage. Where do I plug this ssd in on this mobo? So many slots and I'm not sure which one to use (I only have 1 GPU).
