I have Corsair H100i GTX that I bought and first installed in 2015. This cooler has cooled a 4690k, 4790k, 5600X, and now a 5800X3D. It's still going strong, but as it ages, I am growing increasingly concerned about a potential failure in the pump or some catastrophic leak that'll take out my...

I'm using three P12's as my intakes and their fairly quiet. However, in the five pack that I bought, one of them had a clunky sound out of the box. Definitely not as quiet as other offerings but you get what you pay for.

My current WD Blue is failing and is out of warranty which means I will need to buy a new one very soon. I have only games and a few documents on that HDD as my Windows is installed on my SSD. So can I just copy/paste all of the WD's content to the new HDD and just rename the root directly to...

Great thank you! And should I keep the Windows power options on "balanced" or "performance?"

Realized I posted on the wrong community. How do I delete a post?

I've overclocked on a 4690k in the past but I forgot what I did. My main question is whether or not I should be keeping C states and speed step enabled? I want the CPU to drop voltage on idle and only ramp up when gaming. So should I keep it off while I'm overclocking then when I reach a stable...

Thanks for all your help! Don't worry I watched the video from The Verge. I know exactly how much to use :P

Yup that's my mobo. So you mean reset CMOS then reboot with the i5, then turn off and swap CPUs, then boot again? I've got some Arctic Silver 5 that I used previously. No return policy. Bought it off of Kijiji. Btw by "resetting the boot drive" I meant to say will I have to adjust the boot...

My current CPU is running at 4.5Ghz @ 1.26V. I bought a used i7 4790k for ~$200 CAD. When I swap CPUs do I need to reset CMOS before reboot? Will it require be to reset the boot drive? I'm currently running a Z97 Gigabyte Gaming 5

Hi. I just got my Z97 Gaming 5 back from Gigabyte after I sent it in for repairs. They did not replace the board but just fixed it. Is there anything I have to do when putting my system back together? Will I need a bootable USB or something or will it recognize that windows is already their on...

Pre-built computers are a rip-off. You don't realize this until you build your own computer. This one for example boasts 16gb RAM and an i7 CPU. For gaming and every day use, currently you need 8gb RAM, for your types of games probably less but 8 is the standard, and an i5 CPU. All the money...
