    i7 6700k vs i7 6850k, any point for the latter?

    Hey guys and gals, in the coming weeks I will have the opportunity to purchase the 2 aforementioned CPUs for (USD) 119$ and 179$ respectively. My build is a pure gaming PC with some potential video editing but very little if any. Arguably the 6700 should be more than capable for what I'm aiming...

    Looking for a good large media storage HDD

    Awesome thanks man, this was the exact answer I was looking for. I knew WD red were for NAS primarily etc, just wasn't sure what's best for media storage.

    Looking for something in the 2-3TB range, just a solid HDD that won't crap out on me and won't break the bank too much. Thanks guys!

    FX-8350 + NH-D14 Are my temperatures reasonable?

    Mine running at stock speeds with a dh14 hits 52 and stays put. GPU doesn't matter on prime95 but got a Sapphire Tri-X 290X pushing out a bunch of heat gaming and it stays a bit cooler than yours, so I'd say you are in a good range.

    Building a mid-high range gaming rig. FX-6XXX vs 8XXX

    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, again not really a deluxe mobo but got it for 80$ instead of the 125-170$ retail. (Canadian so higher average prices :( )

    Building a mid-high range gaming rig. FX-6XXX vs 8XXX

    So I'm building the GF a mid/high end rig, mainly to play skyrim with mods maxing it to the tits. I'm looking to pick up an FX cpu for the new build and I'm not quite sure how much headroom the 6000 series will offer me or if I should just pick up an 8000 series one. High end 6k vs say an 8320...

    Do I need to remove the Mobo from the case to install a Noctua NH-U12S.

    The case in question is a RAIDMAX Seiran ATX-902WB. This is will be my first CPU cooler swap and I'm a little squirrely with the idea as I don't want to screw anything up.
