Thinking of replacing my current Z390-based system with an 8086K with a 12900KS and a Z690 motherboard. I like the MSI brand and these two motherboards were the ones in stock. My understanding is they are quite similar but the difference is price is roughly $100...

Hey guys, need your input and advice. I have a Corsair Obsidian 500D SE case where I'm currently using a Corsair H115i RGB Platinum AIO mounted in the top of the case as an exhaust. In the front, I have 3x120 fans as intake and in the back of the case, I have another 120mm fan as exhaust. My...

I just built a new system based on the MSI MEG Z390 ACE motherboard, an i7-8086K and 4x8 GB Corsair 3200MHz DDR4 RGB memory with the goal to find the highest possible but yet stable and safe 24/7 OC. The CPU has been delidded and the thermal paste replaced by liquid metal. I'm using a Corsair...

Anyone in here having an MSI Z390 ACE and successfully installed a 2280 sized M.2 SSD in the M2_3 slot? I'm trying to figure out how to install my Samsung 950 PRO in M.2 slot 3 to take advantage of the M.2 SHIELD FROZR. Where I'm stuck is how to remove the mounting screw from the 2260 mounting...

As the topic suggests, what CPU would give me the best odds reaching a stable 5+ GHz overclock on all cores? The CPUs I'm considering are: 8086K 9700K 9900K The 8086K is a good contender I guess since it's a "factory binned" 8700K out of the box. The 9700K is not as power hungry as the 9900K...

Hey guys! Watching all YouTube videos from Tom and love it but haven't been in here for ages! Wasn't even sure if I still had an account :D I currently have a 6700K @ 4.5GHz and I'm now considering replacing it. I've decided to go with the MSI Z390 Ace motherboard but for the CPU I'm still on...

Hey guys! Does anyone of you know if an Intel 750 SSD PCIe disk will work with an MSI Gaming M7 motherboard? Should also mention that I'm planning to install Windows 10 on the disk so I need to be able to boot from it. Many thanks in advance for your help!

Any chance we'll see a video review of the upcoming Asus GTX 980 Ti Strix card soon?

I have a first generation Asus GTX Titan and have a couple of guestions. First I tried this weekend to do some overclocking by downloading Asus GPU Tweak (GPUTweakVer2820_20150318) and after playing around with the tool a bit I decided to go back to the default settings but for some reason it...

I have a Maximus VI Formula motherboard running a 4770K @ 4.6 GHz and the CPU cache @ 4.4 GHz. After lots of struggling I seem to have found a stable overclock but one problem remains... Sometimes when I startup my computer instead of getting the normal boot logo my screen reports 'No signal...

Just bought a Corsair H100 and was wondering if someone knows how good the pre-applied thermal compound is and if it's worth trying to get rid of it and instead apply your own Arctic Silver 5? And if yes the never ending million dollar question...when applying your own thermal compound like...

Does someone know if it's possible to fit a Corsair H100 with 2 extra fans attached to it in a push-pull config in a Corsair Obsidian 650D chassis? If not, what do you think will give the lowest temp, an H80 in a push-pull config or an H100 with only 2 fans? Thanks in advance! //Richard

First post in here and have a question for you guys! What do you think would give the best (lowest) temp 1. A Corsair H80 mounted in the rear end of a Corsair 650D case replacing the standard 120mm fan fitted in the back of the case but with the 200mm fan left in the top of the case 2. A...
