Is this motherboard good for a gaming rig

Sure..? The motherboard doesn't affect performance.

Exactly

As long as the CPU you want is compatible with the motherboard there is no problem

Hyper 212 Evo. It's overkill, but it's cheap enough that there's no point suggesting anything else.

Exactly

Great cooler at a great price and with a proper fan curve can be almost silent

The ferrite core is there to reduce noise in the wires

Both power and data signals generate noise from the flow of electricity and can cause interferences with each so this ferrite cores are used to reduce that

Specs?

Go with 2*8GB

Always go for the least amount of DIMM's for the same capacity, it leaves the possibility for an upgrade

I've had a similar problem

The windows update was all day trying to install updates without finishing them but then I rebooted and the updates installed fine

After that my computer takes too long to Hibernate or Shutdown

I would love some answers too

If you plan on installing several games go for at least a 240/250GB SSD

What is the goal of this build?

I'd go with a smaller SSD and get an HDD for mass storage

Apart from that it looks good

Can I get a link for that sleeving? It's amazing

If it just for gaming you don*t need the 4770K, you could go with a 4670k and spend the extra money towards a better graphics card

I don't have the crossfire bridge. Yes, it is disabled.

If you are having problems then try and reinstalling the most recent drivers

Don't connect the crossfire bridge and check in the AMD Catalyst Control Center to see if Crossfire is disabled

Check in the AMD Catalyst control center and see if for some reason it's disabled and if it's detecting the monitor

Also try another cable to see if it is the problem

The one thing that I would like to see in all graphics cards is a backplate so that it would preserve a nice overall aesthetics
Since they spend so mush time designing a good looking graphics card t woud' be much trouble to continue that design to the back of the card

Thank you for sharing, it's an awesome builld and these two pictures are just perfect

Check with LinusTech if you can sell it on the forum store

By PSU connector do you mean the SATA power? And as far as i know there isn't any switched power cables...perhaps you could enlighten me on what you mean? 

I mean the SATA connector if it has any bent pins that may cause a short or if by any chance the wires were connected incorrectly to the connector

Try to check if there is any short in the PSU connector or switched power cables

Hi, I did that before and the outcome is always the same. The top card will reach 90C+. Do you guys think the problem will be solved if I buy those PCI risers?

The PCI risers could work

The main goal would be to get more airflow to the graphics cards especially the top one because it's the one getting hotter

Try swapping the top card for the bottom one, sometimes one GPU runs hotter than another

You can also try and adjusting fan curves on the chassis fans for a little more air flow

I think that reinstalling has solved the problems at least for now

Whaler_99 thank you for the help

You can always use fan splitters and control them from the motherboard headers

The temperatures are normal, the CPU is around 65ºC and the GPU is always bellow 55ºC

Yesterday, I got the same problem of the CPU slot not folding but worst was that the PC froze and on reboot the progress went from 70ish% to 0.00%

Once the current WU finishes I'll try uninstall and reinstall F@H
