Hi, I recently got core i7-8086K cpu. I tried overclocking and the best result I got at 5.0GHz on all cores at 1.31v Temperatures during cpu intensive gaming is 60-70c. Cinebench R15 after 5 continuous runs reaches 74C (72-74) Cooler is NZXT Kraken X52 Are these numbers good for 8086K? Is the...

Hi, I have a question about Coraair 570x airflow. I love the case design. I'm one step away from making the upgrade. I currently have Phanteks evolv atx. Airflow is below average. I'm wondering how does 570x compare to evolv? My cpu is cooked by NZXT X42 AIO and GPU is air cooled. I can add an...

Hi, I have 8700k at 4.7ghz on all cores. Temperatures reach up to 70c while gaming. Idle temps are 31-36C. I use NZXT Kraken X42 cooler. Cinebench R15 puts the cpu up to 70c as well. Are these temps normal for this liquid cooler and cpu combination? Thanks.

Only way to make it work is to do re installation and never shut down the PC.

Hi, I have i7-8700k cooled by Kraken X42. It is installed and does a good job when it works. Here's the problem though. Every time I restart my PC, the Cooler never gets detected by the NZXT CAM software so it runs on silent mode by default and cpu temperatures rise higher than I'd like it to...

The cables are plugged in right outlets. It works great without the extensions. Problem appears when I add the extensions to the cables that are already correctly plugged in.

Hi, I have PSU extension cables connected, and computer crashes while gaming. I used two sets of different extensions and both cause the issue. The PC doesn't crash without the extensions. Is this normal? I just wanted to make my PC look nicer. I don't think this is normal. Is there a way to fix...

Should I upgrade to i7 7700k? I have i7 4790K and I was wondering if 7700k would make noticeable difference in gaming performance? Would I get any noticeable difference with the new motherboard and 7700k/ddr4 ram in gaming? Rest of my build has GTX 1080, 16GB 2400mhz ddr3 ram and 1.5TB SSD...

Hey guys, I recently got my graphics cards, 2x GTX 1080 SLI which should be good for at least 3 years or more, but I hear that DirectX 12 games will use more than 4 CPU cores. Is 4790k good for GTX 1080 SLI for next 3 years? Let me know if I should upgrade to 6 or 8 core i7. At the moment it is...

That looks good. Thanks. I'd like to do some overclocking and I already have a cooler so I'll use it, and looks like it'll be under $800. Thanks for your time.

I currently have black and white so I'll try to find similar to that. My windows 8 copy is reusable not OEM. Do you know is win10 upgrade is still free?

I guess $800 would be good deal for me. I still have a windows copy. It was actually windows 8 upgraded to windows 10.
