So CountMike man you left me what happened to us? ha. Just wanted to ad I went with the 2600X since I bought the thing sold as new. Its lower core speed is depressing. Its more than fine though for a work and game combo --shines. Thanks for the blood... .

One last thing. Should I see a performance boost with exception of the 1070 which is of course a huge upgrade to 970. Totally dont care about RAM anymore.

Meant to establish I've got a Thermalright Venom X and adapter kit. Best heat-sink investment since the original Hedghog. Ive ordered two Noctua (ok) 120mm fans, their 2000rpm version, heard the 3000's were like blenders in your case. See the CPU upgrade as more or less hardware health...

Hi, Firstly I have come on here for years and years for great help, thank you. The gap seems to be widening rapidly as far as dollar to value and, well, selling time. My i7 4790K has been AMAZING but it has been hitting a wall lately and btw it still keeps going with new tasks. The slow...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VQHKGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 a couple of those is what I already owned. Unused. Hate ta' waste them and buy yet more cables. f

Why not the 3.5 IN? Its that or digital USB in. I can pay to mod the KEF's but rather enjoy the sub with my other stereo. Yeah someone mods these as a service. I'll take them as-is. The sell regularly for 800.00 $450 shipped by Ebay. -perfect condition. No bass but it's as though I'm...

Hi astronauts, I've purchased myself a set of KEF X300A for my PC sound. I've convinced myself the subwoofer I just bought will be workable one way or other with the satellites which are amazing as they have a reputation for. The Cerwin Vega PC subwoofer model XD8s. I've read and read the...

Powered speakers. They have their own amps. I'm using a powered setup right now. Its the Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle. I assume the signal pushed to it is raw. I don't have a working soundcard right now and I can't figure out how the digital sound signal is pushed without the sound card...

Hi, I just bought the KEF X300A Digital Hifi (powered) Speaker System to replace my Creative SoundBlaster Z soundcard. I have always truly hated Creative and about 5 years ago I bought the Auzentech Prelude and it is still the best PC sound drop-in I have ever owned so I decided I may try an...

Is it the mounting bracket? Hmm, wondering if there's a similar product I can use elsewhere on Amazon.

yes but my case should accommodate the height with absolutely no issue. Aren't half height cards also called low-profile cards? I thought it was a consideration for limited space builders???

Without enough 3.5mm jacks, missing the front output in 3.5mm, then I couldn't use either. I bought a Soundblaster Z.

How well should I expect this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829156005 ..to work conected to my mainboard with this...

Hi, I've realized it is a bit pointless to buy an adapter to try and get my Auzentech Prelude PCI sound card to work on my new Asus Z97 WS which has zero lanes to install it. Pointless from the driver support level -there is none. ASUS Sound Card Essence STX II is what I've chosen to replace...
