Thank you. But if i look at i7 8700 speciications it says: supported memory type DDR4-2666 + I would not want to sacrifice performance for the CPU or run into unstability problems between CPU MB and RAM. Do you think getting 4000Mhz ram will work well on CPU?

Hi, I'm building a stable computer for photo shop and some video editng and want to know if this motherboard will work well with a i7 8700? Motherboard; z370-A Pro MSI I like it because it has 6 fan headers for PWM and is ready for i9 processors when that time comes. Regarding RAM: Should i...

Thank you Would i often need to put a flash-drive into the bios and update it every time a new update comes? Would i have to reinstall windows to update the bios it? Is there an alternative to the b450 model that is not so unstable? All this instability makes me re-consider the i7 8700 over...

Hi there are quite a few b450 Motherboards, and They are all only optimized for Ryzen Gen 1 and 2, So i f i want to run a Ryzen 5 3600 which B450 would be a good pick for stability? Is it beter to get a motherboard that is optimized for 3rd generation? So far i've considered GIGABYTE B450...

I am definitely considering your advice: How about this option for CPU and Motherboard? CPU Ryzen 5 3600 I don't overclock and i can save a bit on my budget. CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler Motherboard: B450 GAMING PRO CARBON

The Fractal R6 only has three 4-pin connectors in Fan hub for PWM - the six 3 pin connectors make fans run at 100% which makes no sense Fractal! so I will need to get two splitters, then I have 5 PWM connectors from the fan hub that i can connect all my case fans to. Then i connect the case...

So you wouldn't change any of the front fans or top fans ? The fans that come with Fractal R6 are fedinately louder than the ones they could be replaced with. The 120mm must be noisy so I'm would replace them with 140mm

I'm feeling good about the Fractal deign r6 so I'm glad you mentioned that. So i will only get 140mm (and not 1200mm). Noiseblocker look really good! So i could put two 140mm noise blockers in front of case sucking air into case, then two 1400mm on top sucking air up and out of the case and...

Hi guys, I'm looking to build a PC that is as close to Silent as it can get with fans. And in this thread i want to focus on The Case and on Case fans (understanding that other components are and important factor) I'm actually building a photo and semi gaming editing machine. What medium sized...

Very nice assembly, you did all that for me? :D So far i add this to my shopping list: CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler (it's prettier than Noctua NH-D15 and i hope just as quiet) Storage: Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive PSU: I think i might go Corsair...

Hi, I'm looking to build a computer for professional photography: Photoshop and light room some video editing (camtasia studio - not nearly as demanding as adobe premiere) some basic gaming Runs quiet (near silent at IDLE) White PC Case My budget is around $1000 What hardware would you...

I agree that I would need a good Graphics Card. This issue with a small form factor (if i were to build it myself) is that it's hard to fit low noise fans into such a small room, and with a good GPU inside it would probably overhead. I also like the low power commption of NUCS hardware - the...

Hi, I have an Intel NUC5i5RYH - Core i5 and it's great because it's quiet, uses close to no power at idle, and is small: my only problem is i can't do video editing or photoshop on it (as expected)., the cpu is probably to slow and it has no thunderbolt for external graphics: I need an...
