Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s any truth in the idea that a Z97 motherboard would be significantly better than a Z87 for running and overclocking an i7-4790K?

This is my first SLI in my life and I can't decide which model to take for SLI. Cards will be with water blocks from EK. Is it worth to take FTW with better power section? Can ASIC in FTW be worse than ASIC in FE? Does FE have any limitations in the BIOS?
I have a modular PSU, and on the PSU side of the connector its missing a pin... is this normal? also is the 6+2 PCIe INPUT the best place to put it or should it be in the PERIPHERAL & SATA INPUT

This is a simple question. If possible, stick to black or white but little highlights don't matter much. And yes I know, ddr3 with a 1151 slot, not ideal, but just play along.
So, i have been on a tighter budget lately.More than i usually am.But, i saw the EVGA GTX 660 2GB GDDR5 OC video card.It caught my interest, as it fit my budget perfectly.But, which CPU should i pair with this card? I was thinking of an i3-4160, but i'm not really sure.What do you think?
i am using GSKill RIpjawsX XM 2x8GB DDR3 2133mhz and it says "Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V)."
1.6v = 1.5v+10%.. exceeds 5%
I would like to ask,
1. what is the impact?
2. is it ok if i let it be?
3. what is the...
