  1. So I just built a 980ti PC and I'm looking to upgrade from my 1080 to a 4k panel and after seeing the AMH A399U on Tek syndicate I said that it was perfect, but I want to know if there are any other options in the field. I don't care about price right now I just want to know what all of my options are, so long as they are in that 40inch 4k display area that is suitable for gaming.
  2. Really good deal on LGA 2011 5820K at microcenter for only 300 http://www.microcenter.com/product/437203/Core_i7-5820k_33_GHz_LGA_2011_V3_Tray_Processor
  3. Are you talking in terms of downgrading or upgrading? Because currently I am using DDR4, I do believe that DDR3 works
  4. Got it all solved. Next issue is how I go about finding a good windows 7 copy to put on a flash drive.
  5. Well folks, the overkill is done and I ended up getting the 980ti rather than just the 980. I am in the process of building but haven't received the case yet so I decided to do the build outside of the case. I'd like to know how to power on the motherboard to see if everything is working. I will be happy to post photos for anyone that wants them. Help is much appreciated.
  6. So after seeing Linus' compact Titan X 18 core Xeon build, and seeing how much power he could fit in such a small case it inspired me to build my first PC but with a little more affordable components. I am new to building but not tech so I am turning to the trusty forums and seeing if the parts that I have replaced would be compatible. For reference I have the forum link below http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/363817-the-most-compact-gaming-pc-titan-x-18-core-xeon-in-a-shoebox/ I changed the 18 Core Zeon with an intel i7-5820k http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMLXIKY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I changed The H80i to the H60 to attempt to give the PSU more space and prevent the issues Linus had with drive mounting http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A0HZMGA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I changed the Titan X to a Superclocked GTX 980 which should fit just fine as dimensions are the same and it's a rear exhaust card. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R3NK340/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I changed the ram from the Kingston ECC to HyperX fury 2x8gb sticks http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8938988&sku=KIO-102362470 Also happened upon a great deal on the motherboard on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157588 Here is where I want to see if it is okay to switch things. First I dont know what to do for storage as I doubt that switching out the cooler will fix the issues Linus had, but I would like to hear suggestions for storage. My 3 questions are firstly, Do you think it would be helpful switching the corsair AX760i PSU to the Coolermaster v650 or 750, they are both the same dimensions, 20 mm shorter than the Corsair and still has a good 80Plus rating at gold. Would this be good to help give better space for the cooler? Which leads to the second question which is, rather than switching the PSU, should I only swap out the cooler and do you think it will have good enough cooling? I dont plan on overclocking, at least not currently as I think it will provide proficient horsepower for gaming. Lastly, do you think I should do both? Switch both the PSU and the cooler to give more space and help reduce costs? I really appeciate all the help I can get as I really want this to be my first build as I'm going off to college and want something small, powerful, and possibly upgradable to the titan x or whatever beast of a card Nvidia or AMD comes out with and better CPU's, and I want to get this build done this summer. I promise to post pictures and keep updates as to how it is going if I get the answers I'm looking for. Links for all mentioned above right here. Also dont forget suggestions for storage!

  7. Just getting into building my own pc and this would be a godsend. Love the videos Linus, Slick, and everyone else who helps make them keep on going!
