The Roccat Kova looks like it would fit nicely in my setup. Thanks for the give away!

I am just looking for 1 that will not break down on me in 5 years...

Hi all, Here is my build that I completed and purchased around Black Friday, so those prices below are not what I paid. But I am looking for an additional 512 GB SSD to add to it. My budget is around 300 - 500 USD. I am probably going to take the recommendation and wait till I see it go on sale. What would you guys recommend? Thanks!

I think we're good! Lesson learned...don't trust Gigabytes Easytune software. It's junk.

What should my voltage be at?

I will still hit these temps if I play battlefield 4 for 30min...

I am having some major CPU temperature problems with my i74790k. I have included the temps at load and rest in the pictures below. I am currently cooling it with an H100i and have reapplied the thermal paste and have to the best of my ability ensured that it is getting good contact with the processor. I have tested the temperatures with Prime 95. Does anyone have any other ideas of what I can do?

Thank you all for your help.

These are the temperatures I am getting now after a full 18 scene benchmark on Valley. Is this in the normal range for GPU temperatures?

So the problem with 4k screens is scaling. You know that "apply" button that's down in the corner and super tiny? Yep...didn't see that. Running tests now. Will mark as solved if this fixes it!

I ran Valley Benchmark it looks like the temperatures are recording correctly. However, I looked at MSI Afterburner while the test was taking place and I am getting almost no usage out of my second gpu.

I just finished a new gaming build, but I am a little worried about the difference in temperatures that I am getting between my two graphics cards. The card on the top is running 20 degrees hotter then the card on bottom. Is this because the top MSI Card is sucking the heat from the bottom card?? The temperatures are still in acceptable ranges. With the top card sticking around 55 degrees under load and the bottom card around 33 degrees.

So tiny and handy!

Thought so! Thank you.

GTX 970 doesn't have a VGA display, so I can't plug the monitor into the GPU. What games do you play on the LG?
