Hello Today I was installing my 13600k on the motherboard socket for the first time and the ILM lever was making scary squeaking sounds, while I was pushing it. I had to stop to verify that everything is aligned ok - the CPU was rotated and aligned correctly. So I pushed the lever with a bigger...

Thanks I got today 13600kf for a good price, so I will pair it with MSI PRO Z790-A Now I wonder whether it is necessary to put a contact frame on it? I am not worried about the temperatures, but I wonder whether not putting a contact frame may cause some bending damage on the processor? On the...

As long as you are in EU you can buy from any online shop from another country in the union without any import taxes or duties. I can buy AH770 and it is a lot cheaper than MSI PRO Z790-A, but I do not see how this will help with unlocked processors like 13600k and 13700k and the choice between...

European union

Thank you for your good wishes :) My only concern is whether the 13700k will throttle due to high temps or will I need to undervolt it, so potentially it could reach a performance similar to 13600k (but with fans rotating at higher speed, so louder)?

Thanks I started now wondering whether I should take 13700k for 40 euro more. I do not really need it, but the price difference seems rather small (the same difference as between 13600k and 13600kf). I already ordered the cooler however - peerless assassin 120 se, and I do not want to buy AIO...

Both are good motherboards and have all the features that I need

Hello I am assembling a new PC to replace my veteran 13 years old I5-750 (1st generation). I will reuse my GTX 1660 TI for now, but may buy a better video card in the future. I need to choose between: - 13600K, MSI PRO Z790-A - 7600X, MSI B650 Tomahawk In both cases I will buy 2x16GB DDR5 6000...

This is not the stock cooler from the I5-11400f box. I did not mount the stock cooler at all

I mounted it as shown on the pictures - Freezer-34-eSports with the Arctic logo facing away from the heatsink not sure if it is possible to mount it backwards

Hello It is a brand new computer, which I built the previous days. MSI B560M PRO-VDH, I5-11400F and Arctic Freezer 34 Esports (with 1 fan). Each time when I restart my Windows 10, something in the revolutions of the CPU fan changes and there is a very clear rattling noise coming from it -...

Hello I am overclocking my (rather old) I5-750 with motherboard Asus P7P55D-LE For some reason I cannot turn off the Turbo boost feature I select Turbo boost - disabled, from the BIOS I put BLCK at 170 and CPU multiplier at 21 (which is the max possible multiplier) and increase the relevant...

Hello I have GeForce 1660 Ti. I am looking to buy a new monitor 24 inch , full HD. Will my card work with Freesync monitor and will it work with any freesync monitor or I have to look for something particular? (I know that G-sync is better, but monitors are more expensive...)

Yes, it seems that 1 of the cables is permanently attached to the PSU , together with the CPU and MB cable. So for a configuration Ryzen 3600, GTX 1660Ti, 16MB Ram, m2 SSD, 2 HDD, I am trying to choose between the following PSUs: Seasonic Focus GX Gold 650w (fully modular): 100$ Seasonic Focus...

Yes, 4 connectors in total. however I do not see where 2 PCI-E cables can be plugged in the psu box? I see only one 8 pin slot labeled PCI-E on the psu itself in the pictures?
