    Maximus VIII Gene + Cryorig H5 Universal - Expansion ports?

    Quick question but can't seem to find a clear answer online. Does anyone know if the Cryorig H5 Universal blocks the first expansion port (PCIe x16) in a Maximus VIII Gene board?. Thanks!.

    Does the "Swiftech H320 x2 Prestige" fits in an Obsidian 750D?

    Basically what the tittle says. I know the top should fit a 360 rad but it would be stretching into the cage where the optical drives should be (they are empty though) and wanted to be sure before buying it. That and also if the tubing would be long enough. Also, opinions on the whole thing...

    Upgrading from 970SLI to a single 1080 - Is it worth it?

    DisplayPort to HDMI adapter

    My current setup includes 3 monitors connected to a GTX970 SLI using 2 DVI ports (one in each board) and an HDMI one but I'm planning to upgrade to a single GTX1080 and save for the ASUS Strix which is pretty much impossible to get where I live all the boards have just 1 HDMI, 1 DVI and 2/3 DPs...

    Would a sound card fit here?

    I'm planning to buy an "Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus" for my current setup but I'm not sure if it would fit along with my SLI GTX970 >.>. My current motherboard is an ASUS Maximus VII Ranger and I'm using the 2 red PCIe ports for the GPUs. All the other expansion ports are empty. Here's a link to...

    Do the Razer Tiamat 7.1 work well with an ASUS Maximus VII Ranger onboard sound?

    Pretty much that. I'm looking into a new pair of gaming headsets and I'm between those and the Krakens which are cheaper but have virtual surround and are USB instead of analog. I kinda like the Tiamat more but in a lot of places it is mentioned that you need either a discrete sound card for...

    H100i + i7 4770k - Temps

    Hi!, A few months ago I bought this all-in-one water cooler for my CPU and TBH I don't see any noticeable drop in temps. Right now I'm using it all in stock settings (with a fix vcore and turbo boos disabled). I'm getting temps around 40Cs on idle, 50/60 when playing something that's somewhat...

    About to buy a Lenovo Y50 - Got a few questions

    So I've been watching/reading a LOT of reviews and impressions on the Y50. I've also been looking around for other laptops around the same price range and going from specs and build quality this one seems like the best one I could get. I can buy the Y50 UHD version with 16GBs of RAM, 256GB SSD...
