Unless you get them to somehow touch and you short your VRMs I doubt it.

Son, what are you talking about? This is perfectly normal. I have 16GB or RAM as well, I get to around the same usage as well. Chrome is well known for poor resource management, this is actually not even that bad. Now if it's at 80% or more then you most likely have a Windows 10 memory leakage, but 43% is perfectly normal for how many applications you have open.

Nice. I just got serious about overclocking recently, was able to get to 4.8Ghz 1.35V on my 6600k. I want to push it further but at 4.8Ghz I go up to 96C. Waiting until I get my AiO in the mail to try for 5Ghz!

Finally, a good old LTT video.

CM offers I think a two year warranty and they also replace broken parts if need be I read.

So what do you recommend? Return my cooler as soon as it gets here and buy another cooler?

So I recently bought this cooler (MasterLiquid Lite RGB 240mm) and it's on its way right now. I looked at other coolers and I feel like I made a good choice because this thing is basically on par in terms of performance with other coolers according to several hardware reviewer's numbers, and for 60 dollars it was hard to pass up on. But i was thinking if maybe this wasn't a good buy and I should return it for an H100i or something in the 100+ range? Is it really worth it?

Really nice case but I know if I got it I'd end up spending 100 on custom cables lol

Yeah, I've decided not to go with this not even just because of the price. After reading about NZXT CAM software and how it logs your data, I'm probably never going to buy anything NZXT ever again. I think I'm going with the Define R6 when it's back in stock. I agree, the Pro M and Meshify are nice but if I got the Pro M It would be like just shrinking my current case (Enthoo Primo) lol. Still considering the Meshify but the TG is tinted so dark :^/

I don't think there's any bundles for the Define R6 considering it's still out of stock in most places.

Yeah, I'm not changing anything just swapping cases and upgrading a few small components.

AF 120s. Not ideal, but I'll buy new fans with my new case so whatever.

I've had the Corsair CX600M since early 2015 and haven't used anything else through like 3 major upgrades. I got it from Newegg as a refurb unit, should I replace it with another PSU, or should I just keep it in my build for now?

These look like good options. Any thoughts on the H700i? People say it's priced too high but I don't really mind because I'm not going to replace this case for a while.

I'm looking to buy a new case with a budget of 200 dollars. I'm considering either the H700i or the Define R6 TG, but I'm also open to other options including anything shown at CES. Any recommendations for a case that looks nice without sacrificing cooling?

Sounds like they sent you another faulty motherboard... it happens sometimes. Check all power cable connections again, other than that, not much you can do.

I have an Enthoo Primo that I was kind of disappointed about. I got it used for 40 but it was pretty scratched up and on a scale of 'Like new' to 'Poor' I'd say it was somewhere between Fair and Poor. It constantly rattled and most of the accessories where missing as well. I'm looking to downsize to an ATX mid tower that can also support water cooling in the future. I was thinking of the H440 but it's kind of an old case now (the second revision came out in early 2015). Here's my current upgrade list for 2018 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GZ4j8K . What cases would you reccomend for me to switch to? My budget is about 130 dollars for the case alone.

Yet another reason to not buy Vega. Poorly thought out product on AMD's part.

The thing is tho it's only 10-15% better at 1080p, and I'm not sure that's worth it for the extra money. The cheapest 580 is 270, with the average being closer to 300.

So I sold my R9 280 and was going to buy an RX 580 8GB. The price range for that card is around 270-320 so it's above MSRP by quite a bit. I saw a refurbished GTX 970 for 170 at microcenter and I think I might just buy that as a temporary card until Vega is affordable again. Good move or should I wait it out with my 550 Ti?

Companies don't care what you as the consumer pay as long as they're getting their money. Most of the extra cost is goign to come from import taxes and the price increase that stores set. Calling it 'unfair' is kind of petty honestly.

Yo be fair it is a pretty small screen so I'd say 60-70 is a good range seeing as you can get a bigger monitor for around 90

I put my R9 280 up on eBay for 110 + shipping. I got an offer today for 90 dollars, should I accept it or is this too low?
