    Discussion Difference in motherboard box image and actual motherboard

    makes sense, thank you. However, do revisions affect performance of the boards? Also, you'd think that they would label the boxes like Gigabyte does, but I guess not. Reason I am getting the H610 is because I am on a very tight budget and a basic B660/B70 in my country costs almost x1.5 times...

    Question Which Motherboard + CPU combo from the following should I go for?

    at the moment the i5 12400F in my country (India) is 30% cheaper than the 12400.. I understand the iGPU is important, but I am on a very tight budget. If I ever run into GPU issues I would not have any problem arranging for a spare GPU for troubleshooting. I am also not very happy about the...

    [SOLVED] i5 6500 + z170 + 16GB ram resell value?

    agreed... but that was not my intention.. I only wanted users to be aware of the price differences here is India. Anyway - if an i3 9100f (which performs a bit better than my i5 6500) is priced at 7,000 INR - do you think my i5 will sell for say 3500 (@50% of the i3) or more or less??

    [SOLVED] i5 6500 + z170 + 16GB ram resell value?

    yes, I'd like to sell all as a combo.. and no, I do not have / want a 5700XT... the 5700INR in my post is the price I bought the ram kit for :P do you think the combo would sell for 175 - 200 USD if it was bought at 465 USD (which is 35,000 INR)

    Question Zotac Freeze tech not available in 16 series?

    Corsair CX600 - 4 years old (june 2016) I actually did not install any drivers.. I had the drivers installed for my 10 series.. the reason I did not reinstall the drivers is that they were already the same version.. are drivers of the same version but different series - different?

    Question Zotac Freeze tech not available in 16 series?

    So I bought a Zotac GTX 1660 super AMP yesterday, but I noticed something weird about it.. even when idling at 32 deg celsius the fans won't stop spinning.. they run at 32% ~1000 RPM @ idle is this normal? I could bet that my previous GPU - Zotac GTX 1060 6gb AMP would have its fans...

    [SOLVED] Msi GTX 1660 Super Ventus XS OC 6GB OR Zotac GTX 1660 Super AMP OR Zotac GTX 1050 ti?

    i agree... and yes, the 1660 super will be limited by my 6500 by just a tiny bit, but that is not what I am worried about.. what concerns me is that the 6500 will soon not be enough for newer AAAs and that will leave me with a capable GPU and incapable CPU... that is what is killing me...

    looking to pair my i5 6500 with one of the aforementioned GPUs (I know it is not the best CPU to pair with either one of these, but unfortunately my GTX 1060 6GB died on me and I don't have enough dough to build an entirely new system) the lowest prices for 1660 supers in my country are as...
