Yeah the calculations for max output of my system is only like 350W. 430W isn't something I'd want to run for a long time, but I really only need like 550W max because I don't think I'll ever do multi-GPU again.

Recently my computer has been rebooting during games, almost as if I hit the reset the switch, so I updated my drivers but it still shuts down after about 20-30 seconds of fur mark. I was about to buy a replacement GPU because my 970 is well out of warranty, but then I thought it might be my...

2018 is the year of the Dogecoin!

I'll find out tonight. Did you delid your 7700K?

It got a little toasty under load, but nothing too bad. Should be interesting to see what temps are with a good cooler.

Got everything but the case in so I assembled it and put it on an open bench with my 2500K stock cooler. Looks like I'm stable at 5.1GHz and memory at 3200MHz. Gonna run more stress tests once I get it in the case and hooked up with my h100i v2.

I thought Microsoft was only supporting skylake and newer on windows 10.

Just got an update from Amazon and it's coming this Thursday, the same day as the case. Is it at all possible to install Windows 8.1 on Coffee Lake? I have an extra 8.1 license and I'm thinking I may install 8.1, upgrade to 10, then do a full reinstall of 10. Otherwise I'll have to buy a 10 key.

Yeah, I'm really disappointing with that. Apparently people were able to order 8700K's from NewEgg yesterday and they shipped out too.

Ordered everything yesterday. I ended up going regular ATX with a mid tower because the cases were still like half the weight of my 932. Still nothing on my 8700K preorder from Amazon. Apparently NewEgg and B&H have received stock and are shipping to customers so I'd think Amazon should be...

Yeah, I'm not too worried about RAM speeds anymore. I know the 970 will be my primary bottleneck, but I do plan on getting the next gen nVidia/AMD cards because they'll be a more significant upgrade. I'm really disappointed that Vega isn't that good because I was hoping to go FreeSync, but I'm...

Money isn't the issue, I've just heard that RAM speed matters more now than it did 6 years ago. Intel Coffee Lake RAM Speed Matters for Gaming? See The Results I'm not going to cheap out and get 2133 RAM, but I was mostly curious if it was worth it to pay the premium for 3200 with lower...

I think I'm gonna go with the carbide 240. So right now I'm thinking: CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-G RAM: ??? Cooler: Corsair H100i Case: Corsair Carbide 240. GPU: GTX 970 Windforce PSU: Corsair HX750 Storage: ??? I really have no idea on the RAM right now. It's so...

No delivery estimate on the 8700K, and the R7 1700x is down to $300. Thinking about going Ryzen as well.

I'm actually using my Astro 2011 mix amp which is plugged in via usb. It's really strange, I hear a constant humming noise now and when my video card is under old it's way worse. Could be anything really. Will upgrade my headset too if it's an issue. Got the 8700k from Amazon, it's on...
