hello :) so guys need help from you... i have an Core i5 4690K on MSi Z97 Gaming 5 with Crucial Ballistix Elite (they have pretty high heatspreader) and i dont know which cooler can i buy for CPU. now i have intel box cooler and temps are about 40°C in idle and 70-75°C in load (in prime from...

ok, then i will look at noctua d14 - c14 :) thanks

i have Crucial Ballistix Elite RAM (in HWinfo64 is : module nominal height : 29-30mm) case (in few days i will buy Corsair 780T) but now i have CoolerMaster CM690 (the first model from 2008) motherboard : MSi Z97 Gaming5

i will overclock but only about 4-4.3Ghz (above 4.4ghz i get BSOD (or i have lower voltage i think)) but that temps i have only with graphics in cpu switched off (if i turn it on then i get 60-65°C idle) + if i will go for noctua d14 or c14 will they have "free space" or they fit too tight ?

so and no watercoolers ? :) + :D i have fear of that cpu coolers for dimensions versus motherboard "empty space around socket" (msi z97 gaming 5)

So hello and sorry for creating another post about that cpu cooler for this cpu. but i was looking for cooler (watercooler or aircooler) for i5 4690K cpu is clocked now on 4GHz at temps 46-50°C (with other fans in case at "silent mode") or at 36-42°C with hi-perf fan mode :) but in load it get...

So it is too late to doing changes :D packtage is on way to my home :) but as i say 2 more USB3.0 and SATA (+ that "multibios") is not valuable to buy gaming 7 instead of gaming 5 + i have an old monitor from Benq G2420HDBL which has a Dsub + Dvi only, in future i will buy better display from...

So final build is MSi Z97 Gaming 5 Intel Core i5 4690K Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB CL8 1600Mhz MSi AMD Radeon R9 290 4G Crucial MX100 128GB only left to buy power supply which i decide for Corsair RM650 650W and still looking for any CPU cooler :) (looking also for water cooling :)) because...

for me is difference only in price and as you say that 2xUSB3.0 and S-ATA ports :) btw i found Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 (CL8) they can be better than CL9 which is on Kingston i think.

I read somethink about that SSD (Kingston) they change chips from Toshiba to Micron ? and they are slow ?! About Crucial i dont know that company... how good SSD's they have ? + im interested also in Corsair Force LX 128GB

So then MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Intel Core i5 4690K MSI GTX970 4G or MSI RADEON R9 290 4G (will check some tests etc...) Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 XMP Kingston SSDnow V300 - 120GB Corsair RM650 650W that soundcard i will buy after new year :)

So reason is only about money :) +- R9 280 - 200 € / R9 290 - 300 € / R9 290X - 400 € / GTX970 - 350 € (so thats reason why not R9 290X... 350€ for graphics is top limit for me now) but there are also question about coil whine from R9 290-290X and GTX970 or it is only at side of nvidia ? + i...

So hello im looking to buy new hardware for my pc but i cant decide what is better to buy MB : MSi Z97 GAMING 7 or MSI Z97 GAMING 5 CPU : Intel Core i5-4690K GPU : MSi AMD RADEON R9 280 3G or MSi AMD RADEON R9 290 4G or MSi GTX 970 GAMING 4G RAM : Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600...
