  1. Thanks for your effort. I tried every single older firmware version, but all of them detected the newer one and refused to install. I contacted Logitech support, they decided that the mouse was faulty and are sending a replacement unit instead.
  2. Greetings, recently I updated my Logitech G603 firmware to the latest version 8.6.28. The firmware claims to fix " intermittent scrolling issues ", which I did not have with the older firmware, but it actually ended up causing the very problem it claims to be fixing. I tried looking up ways to downgrade the firmware but came up empty handed. Does anyone know a way to downgrade the firmware?
  3. I'm looking for a headset with ear-cups deep enough that my ears won't touch the inside of the headset. I've tried both the Logitech G430 and the HyperX Cloud Alpha Pro, with both of them my ears end up touching the inside of the headphones, the size is fine with me but the depth is not enough. But with the Cloud Alpha I could wear them for longer before feeling annoyance from them. So I was wondering if anyone could direct me to good sounding headphones with deeper cups such that my ears would no longer touch the inside of. I do not really care for mic, just comfort and good sound as well as not very expensive(100$). I would also like to note that I did not like sound of the G430 at all. While I love the sound of the Cloud Alpha.
  4. I revised the build a little bit.I decided to change the GPU fans to the Corsair ML120.As for the CPU cooling solution, I think I will drop the 140mm fan. But I'm searching for all the available coolers, see what's best.There is something I'm wondering about though. The 6600k, if I run it at stock will it consume the same power as the 6600 which in turn means it will be running at 65W? Since I'm not overclocking it I don't want it to run hotter for no benefit.

  5. No, it's 64-bit. Chrome is open all the time with a minimum of 20 tabs, accompanied by other programs. I even had to disable RAPID mode to make it happen less frequently(I got an mSATA 850 EVO on it).
  6. You are absolutely right. But I already have 16GB on my laptop and have seen quite frequently a windows warning about low memory. The size of the mobo means 32GB is my max. And since there's a good potential I might need it I want to keep it empty and put a second 16GB later on.
  7. I decided to drop the 950 PRO SSD for a bigger 850 EVO 500GB SSD. Is this a good idea? Also since the Asus 1070 is so expensive and since the B150 Gigabyte board has 2 case fan headers. I'm thinking of getting an EVGA 1070 instead, and somehow try to get the 2 120mm fans to a splitter and then to the second case fan somehow. Worth it? The EVGA has 2 bigger fans while the ASUS has 3 smaller, would the EVGA run quiter?

  8. I will stick to the 6600k then. With how shipping works the heaver boxed 6500+stock cooler would end up more expensive than the 6600k probably.
  9. I would love to get an ultrawide monitor. But Shipping it is too expensive. Also the ones available locally are the super expensive ones. Even 1440p monitors are expensive. I'm already paying whats equivalent to ~$270 for that Asus monitor. Also I'd rather not get an AMD card. Since the 6600k has no cooler it has a smaller box. It ends up being cheaper than the 6600 after shipping. And I don't want the stock cooler, especially in the small Node 202. I based my 1060 vs 1070 comparison on this video The Witcher 3 shows almost 30FPS improvement with the 1070 over the 1060. The 1060 is barely floating above 60FPS. I was thinking that the 1060 could fall below 60 FPS in future titles. As for CPU bottleneck. Do games utilize 8 threads? The only difference between the i7 and the i5 as far as I could tell are the Hyperthreading and 2MB more L3 cache. For the price I don't think it's worth it to me to get an i7.
  10. I don't live in USA. I will be buying from USA and shipp everything except the monitor(too expensive to ship) I will buy locally. The rest are fairly reasonable to ship. Bigger cases join monitors in being unreasonable to ship too. I don't want anything bigger than the Node 202. I just loved it and really want it. The only reason I have the 6600k instead of the 6600 is because it's only $6 extra. I'm not planning to OC at all. I was originally going to go with the 1060. But after looking at 1080p benchmarks again for the 1060 and the 1070 I noticed the the 1060 while indeed getting 60+ FPS maxed out in current titles, it might age not well. My preferred monitor resolution is 3440x1440, but that's too expensive. I'm thinking to get this and keep it for at least 5 years, where hopefully by then 3440x1440 would be cheaper and hopefully upgrade gpu+monitor or the whole system. The idea of the 1070 is to keep 1080p maxed at 60+FPS until the next upgrade. I'm not interested in the RX 480. I found the Gigabyte GA-B150N Phoenix-WIFI interesting. It checks all the boxes I want. M.2, enough USB 3.0, USB 3.1, USB-C, USB 3.0 header, WiFi, WiFi antenna with cable and stand. I think I might switch to it. Then I would have to forgo the 4.0GHz OC I was going to try, but I'd rather save some money. Will I have enough PCI-e lanes to run both a GPU and a M.2 SSD at the same time with no bottlenecks or issues using a B150 chipset?
  11. I'm considering building my first Desktop PC. The new pascal architecture encouraged me, bringing huge performance that cheap. I love how small the Node 202 is. This is basically a copy of someone else's build I found on pcparpicker. I would like to know what others think about this.

Budget & Location Don't want to go above the price of the build above. USA. 2. Aim Gaming. 3. Monitors 1080p 60Hz. 4. Peripherals Not looking into spending big money here. Might get a wireless Microsoft keyboard. But I'm considering the Logitech MX Master for the mouse. 5. Why are you upgrading? First build.
  12. It seems to check all the right boxes hardware wise. Hopefully it's also good software wise.
  13. Added the PCPartpicker link. As for the 6700k, I can't find the 6600k here so I went with the 6700k.
  14. I don't actually intend to build a PC currently, but I felt like trying to make a good PC and have some feedback on it. Here are the parts: GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-GAMING 3 Intel Core i7-6700K Noctua NH-U12P SE2 2x Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz Asus STRIX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 EVGA 600B Bronze 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Cooler Master CM 690 III Window Side USB 3.0 Samsung 850 EVO 500GB Is this build good as is or could it have some improvements(within comparable price range)?
