I have my voltage set to 1.325v in BIOS. Under stress testing with XTU, Hwmonitor shows my vcore all over the place - 1.298, 1.271, 1.351, etc. Cpu-z only goes between 1.312-1.328, which is fine. I understand there are error margins and such. I just want to make sure the vcore changes I'm...

Thanks for your input guys, I will definitely check these out. And yeah, other than OC the CPU, I might upgrade RAM or something to DDR4 way later. I don't even use the m.2 slot on my mobo now.

I'm looking for a $120-180 for my newly ordered 6700k. I have a Corsair H100i V2 cooler, and I'm looking to do as much OC as I can. My problem with my current setup is that my VRMs get stupid hot and throttle my CPU. I want to avoid that completely this time around. I was looking at the Asus...

The drive is the same. PNY 3.0 128GB. His specs are . . . worse. Whatever they are. Some prebuilt desktop from Compaq with an A6 or A8 APU in it. Stock RAM so whatever HP/ Compaq puts in them, HDD, etc. Both windows 10. Same file transfers. Always outperforms my PC. It is 2 hours away or I...

Nice reply. Should have mentioned I am indeed using the 4 rear SS/USB 3.0 ports directly to the motherboard.

I have a Fatal1ty Killer board with purity sound on board. Realtek ac1150. Supposedly the specs are close to some nice sound cards. Now, I'm not an audiophile or anything, but I do enjoy quality sound. I'm curious if any ~$50 sound card would really make a difference in my sound. I have a...

My PSU is making a clicking noise every now and then. It seems as if it's the fan, but I can't tell for sure. It's a pretty rapid succession and doesn't seem like a relay click. Fan doesn't have anything in it as far as I can tell. I've had it apart since I got it on eBay - so it didn't have a...

Newegg has a deal on the V12H for 5 bucks a fan. Currently, I'm using Antecs to cool my stuff. I plan on getting 4 if I get any to replace my antecs. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/antec-120mm-cpu-cooling-fan-blue/6704373.p?id=1083713296903&skuId=6704373&st=antec&cp=1&lp=1 They're kinda loud at...
