Would I only lose dual channel mode, or can it be worse?

Hello, I am building a PC and I ordered Kingston HyperX Fury 2x8GB 2400 MHz kit but the store doesn't have it in stock. I want to know if I get 2 individual sticks of the same model, would there be a chance for them not to work in dual channel? Thanks

I have found and read one review of the Silverstone and it didn't get a good score (very bad ripple suppression). And after I asked the question, I have read some reviews of Cougar in german. I couldn't find english reviews because it is new (released in late July). So, for the time being, I am...

I am building a brand new PC and I need some advice. I am probably getting a Silverstone Strider Essential 500W Gold for 115$ (which was recommended by SR-71 Blackbird from a list of PSUs on a separate thread), but Cougar GX-S650-V3 650W 80 Plus Gold recently became available for 90$ and I...

Another question, has anyone read a review on Zotac GTX1060 Mini? I can't find any, and the only other brand for 1060 is Gigabyte (Gaming G1 430$ vs Zotac 285$, so Gigabyte is a no-no). I might wait a bit for EVGA, but I don't think it will come soon enough or be priced better than Zotac (I am...

My knowledge about computer hardware is quite good (so I know the difference between K and non-K; Z and H chipsets...), but I posted the question to see if someone has first-hand experience with this subject. i7 6700k is 60$ more, plus the cheapest cooler where I love is around 50$, so it will...

Hi, I am planning a build and I have no parts. I am an engineering student and I need a good PC for 3D modeling and simulations, and I game a lot. I can't choose between 2 CPUs: - Core i5 6500 (212$) - Core i7 6700 (331$) Does the core i7 justify the extra cost in simulation softwares like...
