:ROFLMAO: Okay I will hold you to that jwcrellin. I will try it out and report back (y). Thanks...maybe I just needed some moral support.

Thanks for the response. I understand that I could use splitters and just run the fans off of the headers on the motherboard. However the kraken AIO includes its own fan headers that are powered by SATA and communicated to the CAM software via a USB 2.0 header for speed control (separate from...

I originally posted this question in the "cooling" section but realized that since the question is more about power current rather than cooling that it makes more sense to put in the "components" section. So I am doing a new build with a Kraken Z63 AIO and an ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero Z490...

So I am doing a new build with a Kraken Z63 AIO and an ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero Z490 Motherboard. I am opting to do a Push-Pull setup with 4 Noctua 140mm fans on my 280mm radiator, mounted to the front of the case (NZXT H710). If you are unfamiliar with the NZXT Kraken system and how it works...

I recently purchased an ROG Strix Scar II gaming laptop. The laptop is working great except for the RAM. It came with 1 stick of 16GB Samsung CL19 2666MHz RAM.

I have recently built a gaming computer, but am having trouble deciding on a monitor. I narrowed it down to 2 options, both are Asus. Asus VS248H-P vs Asus VG248QE Basically I am asking what the major difference between these 2 monitors is. I know that one is 60hz and the other is 144hz...

What is the most affordable monitor that will keep up with this gaming build? Should I go with 240hz or 120hz? I am looking for something around 23" but am flexible. Thanks in advance! PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core...
