lga1200

Hi everyone, I tought I had a minimum of knowledge in pc, now is the time to surrender and admit that I am just mediocre. For the context: I had an average built (sabertooth z77 + i7-3770 + GTX1080...) since a looooong time, until few days ago when I ask this guy to be built: -Asus TUF Gaming...

Hello everyone, first off I just want to say if you’re reading this, I genuinely appreciate you. Recently I decided to upgrade my CPU and because of that, I bought a motherboard that supports a LGA 1200 socket type. In short, I decided to run a i9-10900KF on a Gigabyte B460M D3SH (Micro-ATX...

Which is better for gaming and productivity? Which one is more energy efficient? Why would you choose one instead the other? In the country where I live the 10600KF is 60$ cheaper. I have 16gb dualkit trident royal 3200mhz rams in an MSI Z490 Gaming Plus board. My main video card is an MSI...

I have a computer that i play games on and i was wondering if 16gb ddr3 1866mhz is good for 2021. i might upgrade to 32 2133mhz since i'm probably not going to get a new motherboard and ddr4 ram, so could someone tell me if its good? but if its rational just tell me and i'll look into a new...

Hello! Ive recently bought a new LGA1200 platform: Intel I3 10100 with video ASUS PRIME H410M-E Dual kingston hyper x fury 8gb 2666mhz DDR4 RAM I was planning on powering all up with an old OCZ PSU i had for spare but it only has a 4 pin power cable for the 12 v CPU and the motherboard has a...

Hi guys, a bit puzzled here, I've built lots of PCs over the years without any problems but my latest build has a problem - I think ? It uses an Asus Z490 plus with an Intel core 10 i9 processor lga1200. I bought a Cooler Master H412r heatsink which claims to fit but I find the metal bracket...

I'm a first-time PC builder, and I have bought a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler. The box contains instructions for AMD sockets, LGA115x sockets and LGA20xx sockets, but not for LGA1200. My CPU is an Intel i7-10700K, and my mobo is a Gigabyte Z490 Vision G. PCPartPicker says they are compatible, and...

Guys, please help. I want to buy lga 1200 motherboard and new cpu. I have Noctua ND 15, it seems... It installed on lga2011v3 platform. Do i need to buy noctua's installation 115x kit? All kits from original box of Noctua are sinked into oblivion...don't have any ideas where are they.

Background: I'm looking into building a new PC for gaming and programming. For programming I need to compile large projects, which is CPU, memory and IO intensive. As I now have ordered myself an ultra-wide monitor with 3840x1440 resolution I'm guessing my gaming framerate might suffer with...

So this is gonna sound like a stupid question, but google has not produced anything. I bought an MSI Intel MEG Z490 LGA 1200 motherboard. I've never before used an intel motherboard that doesn't have Video out on it. Now I have a graphics card installed and the PC works as intended, but the...

I'm purchasing components for a new personal computer. I purchased the mainboard below and am now looking at a processor. ASUS ROG Maxims XII Hero Z490 LGA 1200 In hunting for a processor I've come across CPU's that are optimized for the Intel 300 or 400 chipset's. Unfortunately, I've been...

Hi all, I'm putting together a high budget build for a friend and simply not make my mind up on the CPU. After doing some research, I am leaning towards AMD's Ryzen 9 3900x - this is partly due to reports that Intel's 1200 socket is only going to be used for two generations, meaning AMD may be...
