    Asus Strix z370 Gaming e unusually high temperature reading.

    After building my new system I have installed all software and drivers. In my building process I had to remove 3 of the front panel ports (USB 3.1's and an HDMI port) on the S340 Elite because my H115i Pro RGB was simply too big. In this picture you can see that Temp #7 is stupidly high, I...

    Best RGB fans + compatability

    Looks like the Corsair fans win. What will I need to set it all up? I will have a Corsair 115i Pro RGB, 2 (or 4) Corsair LL 140mm's as well as some Corsair RGB kits later on. Also, should I keep the Trident RGB ram or opt in for the Corsair RGB ram too?

    Best RGB fans + compatability

    So I am just about to order all the parts for a i7-8700k build and my last issue is the RGB of the system. I am yet to decide which fans to get alongside which controller and also ram. I am getting a Asus Strix mobo and plan to get Trident ram, this leaves me with no idea about the fans. Is it...

    GTX 1080ti, when to buy?

    So I am about to order my entire system. The GTX 1080ti is the only piece of kit that I am hating to buy. I plan to be running 2160p and to do so need the GTX 1080ti. I've seen GTX 1080ti's for around about £900 which is quite... a hit. Where can I purchase a reasonably priced and good (3 fan...

    Best Aura Sync RGB fans

    My planned build Valkyrie is going to be a NZXT S340 Elite (White interior) RGB build. I will have an Z370 Strix Mobo, Corsair Hydro 115i Pro RGB and some G.Skill Trident Ram. I plan on having a synchronised RGB setup. First of all what RGB case fans should I go for that will provide not only...

    Is a single GTX 1080ti (Non o.c) enough for 4k on modern titles?

    I've been all over the forums inquiring about my new build and last on my list is whether or not a single GTX 1080ti will be enough to reach and maintain 60fps on at least high/medium 2160p assuming there are no CPU, memory or storage bottlenecks. In the current market and living in the UK, the...

    Ideas on this i7-8700k, 1080ti 4k build.

    I've switched my mobo to an Asus Strix board, at least this synchronise nicely with RGB fans and the Trident Ram using Aura sync.

    Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming worth it?

    I've decided to skip the Aorus Ultra Gaming and instead get an Asus Strix board, I guess you can't really go wrong with that haha.

    Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming worth it?

    I'm about to order all the parts to my new system and the motherboard is one thing I cannot decide on. I found the Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Gaming and fell in love with the RGB's. After doing some research it's said that the board is of great value but struggles with VRM cooling. I will be using an...

    Ideas on this i7-8700k, 1080ti 4k build.

    I personally love the way NZXT's lights sync up but a lot of people have problems with the CAM software. But the thing is there's no real perfect RGB lighting strategy as of yet. NZXT and Corsair both have the strongest ones available currently, and I have used both. And both have their...

    Ideas on this i7-8700k, 1080ti 4k build.

    Okay, I've swapped out the PSU for the SeaSonic one. I think the M.2 Drive is a bit too pricey for what it will actually provide. I don't transfer big files pretty much at all. I am wondering what setup to get for the RGB system. I want my CPU cooler, Ram & Mobo to synchronise. Any ideas? Also...

    Ideas on this i7-8700k, 1080ti 4k build.

    The system I plan to build over the next few days (GPU can wait until prices drop, I have a GTX 1070 until I order a 1080). I plan on using this for productivity, media viewing and a lot, a real lot of gaming at 4k :) Feel free to suggest replacement items or products, I'd rather order from...

    Do I upgrade to 4k or stay on 1080P?

    Thanks for the variety of comments everyone :) I've decided to build a new rig for 4k which I will take with me to university and leave my current PC at home. At the moment money isn't an issue so I want to future-proof the hell out of this new system. I plan on the following: i7-8700k GTX...
