Ok, thank you for yourtime and help! I appreciate your time!

all the nice 1080s? Mine are evga 1080 Founder's edition ones i think you meant the non reference cooler ones?

The reason why I asked for surround is I like the use of extra monitors when I don't play on surround. Since I already have a Rog Swift 27" I thought I'd buy a second one now and in the future maybe a third one. But that's in the future though. Should I set the profile to XMP or should I manually set the RAM target to 1600mhz? I'll try to set them manually. Let's see where it gets us. CPU OC is not necessary for higher resolution right? I mean it's more of a GPU thing? Thank you for taking time to reply all my questions!

Shouldn't I be running it at 1600Mhz rather than 1333Mhz though? Also what are your thoughts on 1440p surround? Can this build handle it well?

I'm sorry for putting out the total 4x8 GB So I already have 32 GB, hence I'm assuming you are telling me to keep everything as it is. Thank you for your reply. When I turn the X.M.P profile in BIOS, it sets CPU to Sync all cores, and RAM to 1600Mhz with DRAM Voltage at 1.5V but then I sometimes get BSOD. Now I'm not so keen on overclock business that much, I can mess with BCLK but I'm not experienced enough to change the voltage for my CPU and RAM, I tried to do it manually rather than to set it to X.M.P, but couldn't dare when I saw the RAM going OVER 1600Mhz as I increased my BCLK. I read that if I want these RAM sticks from Corsair to run at 1600Mhz they shouldn't drop below 1,5V anytime so I thought I should set it to 1.550V or sth but then again I'm not sure if that would be ok since it is said to be tested at 1600Mhz and 1.5V. TLDR; Since RAM sticks are 1600Mhz @1.5V when I overclock I get BSOD since I don't dare touch voltage. Can you guide me a little if you have time? Thank you! Also what are your thoughts on 1440P surround, can my build handle it well on 144hz or 120hz?

Hello, My current build consists of: Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition An Intel i7 4930k CPU 4x Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM 2x GTX 1080 with HB SLI Bridge I am planning want to go 1440p surround in the long run. (Just a side information) Is it worth for me to upgrade my build into: Asus Prime z270-A Intel 7700k with 4x DDR4 RAM (my options are limited with Corsair Vengeance DDR4s) a) Even if I don't go 1440p surround and go 4k? b) If I go 1440p surround? c) If I have the money, just to see an improvement in my system? This is a new post in a long time, please don't thrash me if I give deficient or missing information. Thank you for your time. P.S: I have Corsair H115 Liquid Cooling system, if I change my CPU after cleaning the out of the box thermal paste, how much and which paste should I apply?

Hello, I have a similar build, I checked your firestrike tests, can you give me a tip or two about the overclock you have on your CPU?

Will do! Thanks for the heads up!

Still thanks for the quick response mate, I will search through what you provided to hope for an insight, and will still look here for responses as well

All I found is how to make a desk. And I can do that... My questions were more "specific". Although I am looking through your link still.

Well what material? And I think a custom made one will be more suitable since I can do it myself and add customer fan spaces etc.

Hello, I've been seeing a lot of custom made Desk PC cases on internet and have decided (after my poll about 750D or 760T ) to draw and try to make one myself. I have some serious inquiries before I start, so that I can start with a clear mind if I get answers for my questions. First of all, what material should I use? Should it be out of wood for not conducting electricity? Should it be out of aluminium? Or long story short, what should I use as a material for both keeping the parts cooler, safer, and look nice at the same time? (You can also tell me to use a wooden outer layer and have an aluminium under layer for where I will keep the motherboard etc, but please be specific ) I am planning on making 2 layers, one directly under my glass pane where my parts like motherboard and all related parts will be including my PSU and hard drives, and 2nd layer right under it for appropriate CPU/Motherboard back space and cable management holes etc. (Also a space under my PSU for it's fan) I would like to put my optical drive in front of the desk, as well as some USB ports (2 and 3.0), on/off button and reset button, however I do not know how should I proceed with that. Can you guys give me any information and insight on how to build a customer case with custom usb ports, on/off reset buttons. Should I dismantle a premade case and use its merchandise or is there any way to obtain them? Also if you know a good guide or have any other thing to share please feel free to do so! Thank you for your time!

Found this video on the net, actually from Corsair forums. This video took my attention away from 750D but Corsair George confirmed a testing to add mesh front panel in the very same forums (http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=123028&page=1). If a mesh rather than solid front panel is added I will lean towards a 750D unless that is added I will certainly have to go for 760T since I'm an air cooling guy with only liquid sealed Cpu cooler

Oh I understand so with the top piece mounted on there is no exhaust for air to escape aside from the back of the case. But I see no reason the top would stay on the case if I am gaming, or be there anytime if I sit my chassis on my desk instead of ground. Anyway I don't think I have to worry much about dust filter since I will use top fans as exhaust. Thank you all for your helps and inputs! all of you guys helped more than you can think

The airflow with hatch open is good you say? So it has dents on the side like the front of 750D or is it more suitable to use the top off when I turn my PC on? ^ Same question for you
