Recently built my i7 7700k into a Z270-A ASUS Prime motherboard. Sound was absolutely fine before on my MSI z68. Now there is a very invasive crackle noise. its bearable with music to some extent but anything with voice or general stuff has crackle. I'm using sennheiser 518's. They are fine...

Wasn't sure where to post this thread but here it is. Just making this post so others know it can be done. I couldn't find anything on the web about a Fractal Define C and Noctua D-15. Quick specs: i7 7700k 32GB Kingston Savage 2666mhz ASUS Z270-A Prime G1 GTX 970 Corsair 650w Fractal...

Long story short. Big cooler, small fractal case, can't get ram small enough. can't raise cooler fan as no sidepanel clearance. Swap the 140 noctua with a 120 fractal from the front = more ram clearance. Not sure how it will affect performance though. Opinions?

HyperX Savage DDR4 Memory 32gb 16gb x2 @2666mhz http://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/memory/savage-ddr4 It'll be going with a i7 7700k & ASUS Z270 PRIME Not sure if this memory is good. I'm able to get this for £100 which seems a good deal but I can't find any reviews of the RAM and it doesn't...

Paired with a 7700k I'm unsure which to pick. On amazon there is about £5 difference in price with the Strix being more expensive. I only care about features and performance looks are irrelevant. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/ -...

Had my 2500k for 5yrs 1 month and think it's probably due an upgrade. I don't think I'll get massive performance increase but I'm interested in new motherboard features. Do you think it'll be worthwhile? Current build 2500k @ 4.7ghz CM 212+ MSI Z68 GD55 GIGABYTE GTX 970 G1 Rippler 8gb @...

Can't figure out whether the cooler will fit in the case comfortably. Anyone know?

I'm either going with the Samsung EVO 250gb or the PRO 256gb. EVO http://goo.gl/wAZcnM £130 Currently PRO http://goo.gl/rkEf3O £163 Currently Is the PRO worth the price difference for life span and speed? Also does the PRO have the nice software (samsung magician?) like the EVO ?

I currently use a hd 6870 and i was thinking about a gigabyte 780. The prices have already dropped massively and i was wondering if you think it would drop anymore from now up until just after xmas. I would be slightly annoyed if i waited until xmas for a price drop and there wasn't one or...

Is the ghz edition worth the extra £50? Also since the big price drop and the GHZ editions price being set do you think there will be any more 780 price drops? I feel like getting one now as my 6870 struggles but people have said to me to hold on until xmas...

780 price drop, Gigabyte Windforce 780 was £479 the other day and now is £399 . Is the 780 worth getting or shall i spend more for the 780ti? Could the 290x be a better option once aftermarket coolers arrive

I can get the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB for £136 Delivered and the Samsung 840 PRO 256GB £169 Delivered Is the Pro worth the £33 price difference? People say the EVO's life expectancy is fine for "consumer" workloads but no one really explains what a "consumer" workload is. Also is the EVO's...

Have had my AMD 6870 for quite a while now and it's really starting to show it's age. I was waiting on the 290x being amazing but from watching tinytomlogans review i'm leaning towards the Gigabyte GTX 780. I'm a student with a part time job and £500 is ALOT to me so i need to make a wise...

I can get a Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum 3072MB for £222 with free shipping. I know once the 7970s are sold they are gone for good so is it worth grabbing one of these cards now whilst cheap? Also because this card is triple slot i can only have one because of my mobo size and my psu is only...

I can get a Asus HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP 3072MB for £233 delivered, the 780 is around £550. Should i get either of these or wait for a new series? I currently run a 1gb 6870 with i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz I also want to run ARMA 3 very well and other games like Battlefield. Thanks
