    2 AIO in ITX Mobo

    So I've made the decision to put two AIO in my ITX build (using the NZXT Manta). My problem stems from my ITX board (Asus Strix B350-i) only have 3 headers. One AIO will be for the CPU, and the other attached to my GPU using the Kraken G12. My question is: Is it safe to plug both pumps into...

    Safe to change memory speeds? F4-3000C16D-16GTZR

    So I'm still kind of new to the whole PC building thing and didn't think to check compatibility for Ryzen and memory and whatnot. My memory, Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR, is currently running at 2133Mhz according to CPU-Z. My question would be, is it safe to try going for 2400Mhz in the...

    Reversing HyperX Savage SSD faceplate?

    Crossfire with 380x worthwhile?

    I know there are a couple threads about this, however my situation is somewhat different, I recieved a 380x as a gift for a job I did. Not only can I not return it because the 30 days are over, but I wouldn't want to sadden the gift giver. Since I was looking to upgrade from a 270x (Which I...

    HyperX Black & Red in Gigabyte GA-990FX-Gaming

    Would using two kits of 2x4GB memory, one kit red and the other black, in the motherboard mentioned in the title ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5655#ov ) work? I'm kind of a newb when it comes to "Dual-channel" and all that lingo. To clarify, I want to go from a 8GB...

    Loose fans in CPU cooler. SP120 fans, NiC C5 cooler.

    So I wanted to pair my Corsair SP120 fans with my Thermaltake NiC C5 cooler. The problem is that the SP120s are slightly smaller than the NiC fan holder. The fans do not readily fall out, but I'd like a little more security. Is there a way of discretely holding the fans in place? I understand...
