it's generally best to follow what your motherboard supports, rather than the attachments

any luck so far?

you should have different cables also included with the case.

I'm still disappointed it doesnt have pictures of cars on it.

so your steam passwords were leaked via some kind of middleman attack. nice.

this is correct. GPU-Z should tell him this in the little tool tip, or in the render test.

run the render test in GPU-Z. it's right by the info box.

why not turn PC off, and remove the power cable, then push and hold the Power button to drain the power from the motherboard? you should be fine if the PC is off.

unless you know IPV4 i wouldn't set it manually (know your gateway and subnet mask?) what's it do when set back to DHCP?

are you sure your fan is even spinning? update your BIOS first, and use a wired KB/mouse to make sure it works.

unpopular opinion: why not get a chromebook? video editing might suck on it, but the same is true on any other 250$ machine

this is heavily dependent on the UPS. @OP run a test and see how the UPS performs when you unplug it's AC source. If you break anything it's probably only going to be the fuse inside the UPS. make sure you have a spare fuse on hand... does your UPS not show instantaneous wattage draw? check out what monitoring features it might have, even if it's just an LED panel on the front. If it has no monitoring tools you should probably get a better one. that being said, you're going to probably significantly drain that UPS whenever you actually need it.

i saw that, the noiseblockers are -P marked, i figured for "pressure" but i didn't see that in the specs i found. my reason for the NZXTs is probably stupid, but it's honest.

if it comes down to cost vs performance, then yes. a custom loop will always outperform air, but it will be way too expensive.

what do you mean "run hotter" with an AIO? the CPU will be hotter? the room will be hotter? heat is going to come off of the block faster, and get to the fins faster, until the liquid reaches it's heat capacity. at that point it becomes more of a surface area game. liquid cooling has really always been a heat capacity (on startup) and surface area game. liquid setups generally keep your CPU cooler because they can even out your heat dissipation over a larger area. that being said, new solid coolers are getting really good at dissipation, because they reach heat capacity so fast, and because really good ones are able to crap a lot of surface area into a small-ish package.

use Static pressure fans on radiators, -aer P use high airflow fans on case mounting points. i'd use the NZXT fans. because i've never heard of noiseblocker.

any ATX case will support a miniATX motherboard. unless you're looking for a smaller case than mid-tower?

I'm still really upset that it's been 6 years since the battleblock theater steam release trailer and not a single RAM maker has put out RAM Sticks with little Rams on it.

call kingston? RMA it? check your bios update and make sure you have PCI-e lanes available in your CPU.

future performance depends on the game, and how it is optimized, as well as the drivers from nvidia. this is always a question that will be answered with "wait and see" anytime someone asks "will my PC be able to do/play this in the future" the answer will always be "wait and see"

I use this regularly because the Xbox controller feels big in my small hands. It uses bluetooth, so if you need it for online multiplayer i don't suggest it. but, in PC gaming no controller is good for PvP games. It uses bluetooth, so no need for a xbox or third party dongle. it works. it does require DS4, but that's actually kind of nice, as it lets you remap buttons. (i flip my L/R1 with my L/R2 for better triggers.) the track pad works fine. a light tap is a single click, a hard press is a right click. I have not used the gyroscope. I cannot attest to it's usage. it's a good value for money if you're used to playing with a DS4 controller. quality is fine, but i think all of the console controllers have mushy buttons. even xbox.

my socks are still on. I'm also aware of this, but some headphones just do it way better than others. my logitech g933s did a really good job of it over USB wireless, but the pairing on them sucks and they're 3 ticks away from useless if used with a 3.5mm cable. i've got a pair of skullcrusher wireless headphones by skullcandy and i'm seeing reviews say they fit decently over the halo. might give them a try.

I know this, hence I say "Simulated" the actual products market themselves as 5.1 and 7.1 but we all know there aren't 5 or 7 woofers and a subwoofer packed in there. but the use of a good driver and supporting software help simulate the surround sound feeling. I'm all for bang for buck, but Koss seems kinda... cheap?

I've got an Oculus Rift S coming next week and i've heard that the Audio is.... less than immersive? That being said, does anyone have any suggestions for headphones that they know fits will over the "Halo" band? I've used the old Rift and think the built in headphones were acceptable. I don't need it to be super loud, i prefer good clarity and 5.1 or 7.1 simulated sound for a more immersive experience in VR. i've heard that simply using earbuds and plugging them in to the headset or via bluetooth is an easy option, but i don't think it will quite simulate the "surround" feel of the audio properly. TL,DR; got a Rift S, need good surround sound headphone suggestions.
