Hey everybody smarter than me, I purchased an i7-6700k CPU and when it got here, it didn't come with a stock cooler like I thought. In a rush to get this going, I paid too much money to overnight a CPU Cooler for this thing and I think I made a big mistake. I purchased a Noctua NH-L9I CPU...

Here is a picture of the vent on the side, and also a picture of the cabinet door. It has a shelf halfway up and I was going to put the PC on the top (since the printer is on bottom), but I can change that. The vent is a hold with a screen, and I dont know if I should put and Intake or Outtake...

I have a CoolerMaster Elite 120 Mini-ITX case with a i7 6700k. I was hoping to do some overclocking, but just a little bit, but haven't quite rounds suggested fan and heartsick for it. (But that's not the question here). I will be putting this PC in an enclosed cabinet in my office desk. The...

I have a CoolerMaster 120 Elite Mini-ITX case and an Intel i7 6700k CPU. I need a good fan/heatsink that will fit in the case and provide adequate cooling. PC will sit in a closed cabinet that has air vents, but is obviously warmer than not being enclosed. I may do a little over-clocking just...

I purchased an ITX GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 motherboard. This guy right here http://goo.gl/HbXARJ 16GB RAM, and an i7-6700k which I will initially be using the integrated Intel HD 530 graphics. On to my question. I have a Samsung 950 m.2 drive that will plug into this mobo's M.2...

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the time you spent answering this question!

I am no gamer, and use the computer for coding, running Media Server, etc. I have built an over-kill PC with i7 6600k Skylake CPU, 16GB DDR4, Gigabyte G1 Gaming 5 motherboard. I was planning on using the graphics in the Intel CPU, but since I have put close to $1200 into this, I am wondering if...

DonkeyOatie, you have been SO much help! What would I love feature-wise by going to Broadwell? I am OK with DDR3 (32GB), I plan on using an M.2 NVMe (Samsung 950 Pro), 2 or3 - 4k monitors, and a bunch of USB 3 peripherals. Integrated Wifi/Bluetooh is optional since I can get additional...

Thanks for the input. With the cost of Broadwell close to Skylake, I am feel Skylake has more features and GPU performance is lower but in the same ballpark. The Skylake is supposed to be able to do 4k I believe. All the other features packed into Skylake don't mean a whole lot to me, but I am a...

I am building a Mini-ITX computer and haven't quite chosen AMD/Intel, but I am leading toward Intel Skylake. I am no gamer by any means, nor do I do any video, etc. I am trying to find the best CPU/Mobo combo for the best integrated graphics. No budget limit. What I am building is overkill (32GB...

Looking for a specific small build, with requirements that are overkill for the workload. (Business Power User). No budget limit as long as I can fulfill requirements. -i7 Skylake CPU -Mini-ITX Motherboard - 32GB DDR4 Ram - 256GB SSD (minimum) (Integrated Graphics, Built-in Wifi, USB 3.1...
