    Computer freezes while gaming with buzzing sound

    It turned out to be an overheating stick of RAM. RMA'd the RAM and problem solved.

    Which case fan to choose?

    Thanks for your input. I was about to order the Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM fans when they went out of stock so I ordered Fractal Design Venturi HP-14 PWM instead. They're not silent but they're not loud either. Build quality is excellent and the price is right. Can't complain.

    When will 32GB RAM become mainstream?

    As 16GB RAM rigs are becoming more popular and as games require 8GB as a minimum nowadays, When do you think 32GB will become mainstream?

    i7-6700 vs i5-6600K: Did I make the right decision?

    Hello, I'm upgrading to Skylake. I was about to buy an i5-6600k for 200$ + tax but got a good deal on i7-6700 (non-k) for $230 shipped (including tax). I went with the i7. Did I make the right decision? I've also already bought an ASROCK Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 motherboard. I mainly use this...

    2 or 4 of 16GB DDR4 RAM sticks?

    I'm planning on building a new Skylake (or maybe Kabylake if it releases within 2 months from now) and was thinking about the RAM amount I should install. I will go on a z170 motherboard (hasn't decided exact model) which accepts 64GB of RAM and has 4 slots. I'm aware that 16GB is more than...

    i7 non k vs i5 oc

    If you only game I'd say go for the i5 as games don't really benefit from Hyperthreading and the OC on the i5 will make a difference on the long run.

    LGA 1155 Motherboard recommendation?

    @jimmysmitty I think this is what I'm going to do. The only problem with this Z68 chipset is that it has no USB 3.0 ports @junkeymonkey This motherboard is still under warranty until 30/8/2016 and it's their responsibility to honor the warranty and to properly repair the product. The suggested...

    LGA 1155 Motherboard recommendation?

    @jimmysmitty I've already tried a different PSU. Both Corsair VS550 and Corsair RM850X gave the same result. I've received another mail from ASUS customer service manager (Robert Tinsley) and he refused my request to replace the board.
