Technically, SLI will work... But I personally wouldn't buy that case. It only has 150mm of CPU cooler space, which is a little on the low side. So if you wanted to use a hyper 212 evo or other bulky CPU cooler, you're out of luck. And since you have a Z97, I'm guessing you're overclocking...

Grandmaster hit the nail on the head. I thought I'd add your costs (and gains) if you DID want to go hexacore (12 threads). You'd obviously need to get a hexacore chip (Intel ones start at 200, but the newer stuff really starts at 300), and since all of those use the LGA 2011 socket, you'd...

What do you mean "when you turn it off" - not being flippant; are you 1) in Windows, telling it to power down? or 2) are you pressing and holding power button on case? It sounds like you can turn the PSU off if you hold the power button on the case down? Sounds like a software issue...not a...

Yeah - you can run any speed (that the RAM sticks themselves support) UP TO 2133. So if you bought slower DDR4, it would work at the max speed for the RAM sticks. And if you bought faster DDR4, it would sorta be a waste. I think there is a chance XMP profiles may be able to goose some speeds...

Not sure how it turned out for you, but to update you on my situation (in case it helps), Asrock RMA'd my board, I got a new one, installed it, and got nothing. So I figured it was likely chip (AND mobo - they both went at once, or Asrock gave me a new board when I didn't need it...) and took...

That's good! Your board is better off than mine... Now add one stick of RAM in the first spot. Also, get a motherboard speaker and attach it in the lower right corner. We want to listen for beeps (which will tell us the error). Theoretically, with the speaker, the first error code you...

appreciate it Rolli59 - I'll post back in 3 weeks when the new board arrives from ASRock (hopefully!)

Also have a 5820k and extreme4 and having similar issues - just rmad mine. Does the red led on the bottom right of the motherboard go on when you try and power on, like it normally does during boot? Mine will not since I started having issues. I plugged in a board speaker to listen for POST...

No beeps at all - yeah plugged in a small speaker direct to board as soon as I started having issues (even before bread boarding)

Any idea why power button would make fans and ODD and whatnot active after initial failure, but then when bread boarding I couldn't even get that. I tried adding one fan back to a chassis header and it wouldn't work... 3 weeks to RMA sucks, but I should be glad it's mobo... I bought the cpu...

Yes got rid of everything save one stick of ram and CPU fan when bread boarding.

I have (had?) a 5820k with ASRock extreme4 mobo; 16gb corsair vengeance; corsair hxi 750 psu; OS was on a M2 Samsung 950; gpu a R9 290. The comp musta crashed - I had it doing an encode while I was on a call, and when the call ended the monitor said no signal (but all fans were still running...

I'll expand on CaptainCharisma's answer: the first step is confirming its the connection between your wireless tiger and the PS4. If you go outta your way to upgrade that, and find out it was your ISP all along, it was all for not. So first - do a download test on a pc that is wired to your...

Yes, of course. You may be able to buy a 5.25" device that has USB 3.0 ports, and then you can use the connector on your MoBo to hook it up. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Crest-Inch-Port-Charging-SY-HUB20134/dp/B008FJXGDQ But not having something to hook up to the MoBo will not...
