Thank you, that was my point. Thank You all for your help. I ordered a 1866MHZ DDR3 32GB (4x8GB) G.SKILL Sniper F3-1866C10Q-32GSR. Those reviews scared me a lot. Thanks again. *No additional upgrades for my current PC - I already started browsing for my next new build. *PS: My old RAM (2x8GB)...

I was going to open a thread with the same question. Two months ago I started browsing for my next microATX build and I was surprised that entire MicroATX segment is somehow moved to the lower end of market. Just two weeks ago, seven new ASUS Z790 motherboards (ROG, ROG Strix, and TUF Gaming)...

"RAM true speed". Don't know if this is still valid. Please correct me if I am wrong. *1866/10 = 186 vs 2400/10 = 240 *1866 is overclockable My (newegg) problem: 1.50V vs 1.65V 1866 / 1.50V reviews: < 3% DOA or stability issues and >70% with 5* 2400 / 1.65V reviews: > 40% DOA sticks and/or...

Thank you for your replies. > Will they run @2400 Mhz? Probably yes, my MB supports this and others have reported this. > Will my RAM remain stable @ 1.65W for 99% of the time used? Probably no. So, is the risk worth taking? imho probably no. Not at all. Does RAM Speed Matter? DDR3-1600 vs...

Hello everyone. My (2013) PC needs (32GB) RAM upgrade and those are my options: a. 120 EUR: 1866MHZ DDR3 32GB (4x8GB) G.SKILL Sniper F3-1866C10Q-32GSR b. 200 EUR: 2400MHZ DDR3 32GB (4x8GB) G.SKILL TridentX F3-2400C10Q-32GTX a. 1866 CL10-11-10 1.50V 4x8GB DDR3 vs b. 2400 CL10-12-12 1.65V 4x8GB...

Yes, thank you for this. I will do this later.

*My typo. *Both are 12V.

I got new ARCTIC P14 1700 RPM 3-pin, BLACK ACFAN00123. New one: 0.15A/12V Old one: 0.25A/12V Also, diferent conectors but I will attach the old one to the new one, but. - But, all wires on the new one are black. Should I continue rewiring in this specific order? Thanks!

Thank You for your reply. That`s exactly what I was afraid off. - That (voltage) speed control will be completely lost? So my only option is 3 pin fan and also no 4-to-3-pin adapters or anything similar? Thank You.

My old Enermax Revolution87+ 750 W (80+ Gold) PSU fan was very quiet. Since yesterday and only during the gaming sessions it started making very loud and rattling noise. Fan inside: 3 pin 140mm Enermax model, EA142512M-0A . For the PSU Enermax says: "Ultra silent and powerful cooling...

Some bragging rights and showing off : ) I upgraded my PC with: - Founders Edition Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X - 410 euros - used for gaming since October 2019; - Samsung 970 EVO NVMe® M.2 SSD 1TB - 120 eur - new; - via ROLINE Ad PCIe3.0 x4 - NVMe M2 110mm SSD - 15.06.2193-10...

*Small update. Later today I will test this beast. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X Founders Edition. - Used for 410 EUR. (Almost same price with some other 1080/1070 models but with 8GB "only" : ) - Apparently used for gaming only. - Should fit nicely. [H] video:

zandor: Thank you for that m.2@max_gene explanation. I was worried that I was missing some (hidden) performance improvement opportunities. zandor: Also thank you about *bifurcation* info. I will investigate further and probably get m.2 adapter for 970 EVO NVMe SSD, as a second drive if boot...

Thanks, I will ignore it. I was afraid that I might miss some (hidden) performance opportunities. My (boot) drive (Samsung SSD 840 PRO) works fine. I need to replace (low space) my second *spin* drive. WDl 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA 9.5mm 2.5 (wd5000bpkt-75pk4t0) drive. I was looking for 1 or 2TB...

Yes, totally true. I have 50` - 8K Samsung q60a - 2.5 meters from my PC. I will def try something in that direction. Currently considering - used 6GB version of: a RTX 2060, GTX 1660 Super , GTX 1660Ti , GTX 1070, GTX 1660 b RX 5600XT , RX 5500XT 8GB (no tracing) Availability is the trickier...

Thank You for your reply, my thoughts exactly. My already overloaded i7-4770K will be crippled and that`s that. Thanks, again.

zandor, thank you for your response, much appreciated, you are scholar and a gentleman. You nailed my concern and clarified my options in great details. Should I consider monitor (resolution and Hz upgrade) or should I stop here and leave that part for my future build. Again thank You! KraFT

Thank You for your reply, its really apriciated. Yes, Haswel is 200% overloaded and GTX700 is old as dirt but honestly I did not had too many reasons for earlier upgrade. That is also one reason why I don`t wont to push for unreasonable 4K monitor upgrade. (Skyrim, FC3,4,5, Witcher, X-Plane-11...

Hello everyone. Over the years I've relied on this forum for great information from the vast pool of knowledge here. My 2013 >Micro-ATX< build at Micro-ATX Aerocool DS Cube (265x411x381mm) case: 0. 750W PSU ENERMAX REVOLUTION 87+ https://www.enermax.com/en/products/revolution-d.f.-750w 1...

Thank You for your detailed answers. I will leave the &#8220;default WASD&#8221; settings . After all, 15 years ago, I was using arrows for movement with the right hand until industry decided that we should switch hands and use the mouse additionally. Had some problems for a month or two...

Hello everyone. I hope you clarify some questions that are bothering me. My son is 4 years old and he is left handed. Most games have standard bundled controller settings in a form of: a. Left Hand - &#8220;w-a-s-d&#8221; - keys for movement - (Qwerty keyboard) b. Right hand -...

I just wanted to update my list end explain the changes. Our order was submitted yesterday. Total was 1160 eur w/o VAT. CASE and COOLING Reason for the delay was Prodigy-M`s, totally weird air-cooling solution. I believe this case is good for water cooling only. Than we stumbled upon this...

We are reconsidering GTX770 as a choice. SLI or Not SLI, 770 in comparison with 760 looks very strong as an future investment. Yes, its too much for now but with new game arrivals this should brake even. Still thinking. I must not agree with this, as term "absolutely serious" is very...

Yes, I agree. For now. But in year or two, it will. A lot. At least that's how I understand it and that's the reason for 100usd +. Ignoring the fact that in the past 10 years I spend a small fortune on leaked capacitors on office PCs, can you suggest an alternative mATX with at least same LAN...

Yes. www.anobo.de. Its not about performance only. Trying to get (and enjoy) the difference between form and content (or substance) of things (or products) via understanding or learning about them. And yes, WE take our gaming experience seriously :)

Tirades, thank you for your detailed answer. Helped me a lot. I updated my post with my answers to the sticky questions. - Why Asus ROG ? Well, because of Abit, everything before and after that. I do believe you are familiar with Rubycon capacitors. I would say stability. Or maybe I am just a...

Hi there. I enjoy reading [H]:cool: since its first online days. My third and last full (successful) build was back in 2004 . Now my daughter (15y) is trying to make a build list with my help and guidance. This is what we did so far and I need some advice from you before we proceed with our...

A friend of mine has a WD NAS - WD My Book World Edition 2. (Mirror mode.) His folder shares have same names as profiles that are created on his home 3-pc network. Yesterday he had a problem accessing his folder share and he did the unthinkable. The problem. He log on to his NAS setup page...

Ok, let me clarify. At the end there will be 3 types of the same board . Example: 1 &#8211; MB Brand X67 (rev. 01 - with faulty chipset ) 2 &#8211; MB Brand X67 (rev. 01A - refurbished with replaced - new chipset ) 3 &#8211; MB Brand X67 (rev. 02 - 100% new with new chipset ) I am afraid...

Visual difference: Revoked/recalled Sandy Bridge motherboard vs. 100% new Sandy Bridge motherboard`s. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate how Intel is handling their Sandy Bridge chipset error. What I understand is that they will replace their defective chipset with a new one. But how...

Thanks for clarifying ... As my upgrade is getting very near and the fact that the next Intel chipset is re-scheduled for 2012 , this post is very helpful. Thanks again.

Hi all. I know that this was posted and reviewed few times but this information confused me. I do upgrade once in 3 or 4 years so I need a future proof configurations. The only thing that is stopping me is Intel native support for USB 3 and SATA 3. And than this showed up. X68 + ich11 in q2...

Hi to all. I am a regular reader here for many years but apparently I was too lazy to register :) So count me in :) KraFT
