After looking at these results a bit more, I ended up doing some more research and saw that the 10700K wasn't far off from what I was looking for and found one used for $230 CAD. Been working like a champ and have it paired with the X42 I traded a Wendy's Chicken Sandwich for from a buddy its...

Yea ended up being the MOBO. Just picked up a brand new GB Z590 UC and got it up and running. Thanks for the information though! I most likely will take old board into my local shop to try to get it fixed to have a spare board just in case.

Yea tried both CPUs on an ASUS B560 board and they booted up fine. Definitely looking like a board issue unfortunately. Are all MSI boards like this or just this model line?

Howdy folks! Just got a 10700k to upgrade my 10100 for a steal along with a Kraken X42 from a buddy to cool it. The install went good and I booted into the BIOS (MSI Z490 wifi Edge) to make sure everything was good. While I was in there I activated XMP again and changed the cooler to the...

Yea I frequented a few sites for reviews and I saw that it did fairly well. A buddy of mine is actually tossing me his old Kraken X42 for free that I'd like to do a push/pull setup with to see if it cools a little better. I don't plan on doing any crazy OCs on the CPU for the start as this would...

Thanks for insight! I'd love to find a 10900F or even 10850k deal pop up from the right seller too. I wouldn't mind waiting to see what Raptor Lake has in store but I'm okay with using tech that's a couple of years old. I look at it being more mature and stable than it would've been at launch.

Oh yea definitely. Was going to pair with a AIO as I've never really experienced/used one before. If I can't find anything like, would just do a Dark Rock 4. It's funny cause I started doing all this research about a week ago and most of the reviews I'm seeing online are basically saying the...

Morning everyone! Just recently picked up a custom prebuilt to get back into the PC life after owning a Mac Mini for a few months (Never again) Specs are i3 10100, 1660 super, msi z490 and while I thought the i3 would be enough, I feel the limits of during gaming, browsing, editing videos etc...

Update: Switched this Gigabyte 1070 for an Asus 1070 and it works in my system. My gigabyte was just tried in a 7700k + z270 mobo that the Asus one came out of and it won't show any video out. Pretty sure that GB card just doesn't like intel boards.

Okaaaay so I had an odd theory that perhaps the card didn’t like Intel setups that I have, so I brought out my dusty, trusty A58M board with an A8-6600 and 1 stick of 4GB DDR3 and no cooler. And guess what? I got video out 😂😂😂 I had this thought because the my buddy’s rig is a 2600x and the PC I...

So got an EVGA G3 650w Supernova and still having the same issues. Even used the GPU and new PSU on my older board and got nothing as well. While at the computer store, we hooked up the 1070 to a custom built PC and it detected it and booted it up. So there was some hope there. Even ran Heaven...

but isn’t it strange that the RTX 3070 that requires 2 8pin connectors ran off the same PSU with the same 2 to 1 PCI split connector that I’m using for the 1070?

Having the exact same issue with my 1070. Did you end up resolving it?

Mobo: z370 MSI Gaming Plus CPU: 8700k (stock settings) RAM: 16GBs HyperX 3000mhz DDR4 GPU: G1 Gaming GTX 1070 PSU: InWin P65 650w (Gold rated) TL; DR: Got a 1070 that works in a buddy’s system, but not mine, but a 3070 works in mine perfectly. 2 of my Mobos don’t detect the 1070, could the PSU...

Corsair's ML 120s have great performance along with quiet operation. Looking to snag a few to replace my current ones soon.
