I have checked the cpu connector pins on the motherboard and seem ok but I have taken a photo. I guess its pretty hard to see bent pins but do they look ok??

I had the same issue with Gskill trident z back with the maximus formula viii. I would dare nor remove the memory once the system got working as it would take a long time to work again when replaced after the q code error 55. You mean the mother board cpu conector pins?? They look ok to me but I...

The motherboards fits perfectly and matches the ATX mounting holes. I can just about fit the ATX power cable underneath the corner of the board along with the USB 3 cable and Sata cables but very tight. I have ran into the Q Code 55 problem. First time switching the system on and it doesn't post...

On the Fractal Design website It actually states Motherboard compatibility EATX (up to 285 mm wide) / ATX / mATX / ITX The Asus Maximus z690 Extreme is 277 mm which it does fit but very tight. It should be that E-ATX boards should up to 285 mm up to the grommets but they cover the grommets...

I am building a new pc around the intel core i9 12900k and my motherboard out of the ROG line is the beastly Asus Maximus Z690 Extreme, but when fixing it into the Fractal Design Define S Vision case, the motherboard being an eATX board is completely covering the grommets. The case is designed...

Yea

So its either stick to the ones that are supplied with the motherboard or 1.5 mm thermal grizzly pad as that size is the next size up they make from 1 mm

Asus recommend thermal pads thickness of 1.25 mm for my Maximus z690 extreme if replacing the original ones on the motherboard. I want to replace them with Grizzly minus 8 pad but they don't come in thikness of 1.25. Will a thickness of 1 mm be OK or should you go with motherboard manufacturers...

I am upgrading my pc and want to upgrade from an i5 6600k to either the i7 10700k or the 11700k. Which one of these should I go for? I know the 11th gen is newer but the 10th gen has a slightly faster clock speed. Any recomendations?

Getting the graphics card is probably the best thing to do first like you said. I'm not sure if I have bought the right monitor. Shoukd I have gone for a QHD monitor at 120-140 Hz to play fifa at QHD at higher Fps?? Then wait a couple of years for more UHD monitors with 144Hz become to become...

My monitor has a max of 60 Hz anyway so can only play at amax of 60 Fps. Would a gtx 1070 or 1080 do the job??So basically all of my components need upgrading??

I have just bought a 4k monitor to play fifa 20 in 4k. My gtx 770 super clocked can produce it but I do get the odd lag , Sluggish game play and cut seens /replays are slow and sluggish. What graphics card should I get to replace my gtx 770? Also I can play at 60 Hz as my new monitor can...

This is weird. Has my thread been deleted or mixed in with someone else's as I think I'm reading two conversations...My own and someone else's?

Ah ok. I only play fifa at moment but I do get the odd lag and sluggish/slow gameplay. What graphics card would you recommend to upgrade to?? So is 60Hz ok for fifa then?
