    You should have led with your in the UK as that will affect pricing. Most of us use pcpartpicker as it will show the best prices from multiple vendors once you set your region.
     
    If you go to pcpartpicker, set your region to UK and filter for mid-tower cases and set your price limit you will see that the Fractal Focus2, PopAir, Define C and Corsair 400D Airflow, Phantechs G360A etc. all available for under 100 pounds.
     
    Tech Jesus likes the Phanteks G360A better at this price point but the H5 flow is “fine” if you’ve drunk the NZXT kool aid and already have additional fans:
    Top mounting the radiator again may be an issue with your tall RAM. The manual gives no RAM clearance values which, in my experience, means it likely only supports standard height RAM.
     
    But at least the H5 Flow should, with a front mounted radiator, be much less starved for air and you could use your Noctua redux fans for top and rear exhaust and I expect your GPU will be much less hot boxed giving you a little more room for Overclocking it.
     
    But if you really want good airflow then simple physics dictate you’ll likely need to move to a larger case.
     
    Hopefully you are fine with the Front bottom air scoop and fan and the limitation that will impose on additional hard drives and less room for tucking away cables and the design also wasting one front usb3 connection.

    I didn't realize you were in the Ireland, when you specified "$100", sorry.
    When I set the region to UK, there were still a lot of options, but changing it to Ireland, it really cut the options down.
     
    No, do not get the NZXT H5 / H5 Flow / H510. 
    I'd say save up a little bit more, and get the Corsair 4000D Airflow over the H5 Flow.

    The real fix would be a different case as this case is a notorious hotbox due to having the front sealed.

    I doubt that you will be able to mount your AIO in the roof as your memory sticks are too tall.
     
    Corsair states that there is clearance for a 240mm radiator in the top and the mounts are offset towards the glass but they don't specify the clearance anywhere.
     
    If you can mount it in the top you should as you'll be getting the heat directly out rather than hot-boxing your GPU.

    A few things are mixed together:
    - ASIO is restricted to a single application keeping control over a device (low latency low level access). You can't use different applications at the same time to output and input audio via ASIO.
    - You probably set the sample rate and bit depth to different values for the input and the output of the UMC22. These have to be identical or it won't work.
     

     
    I would recommend to delete any driver of the UMC22 from you computer, do a fresh reinstall and look through all the settings.

    Change the discord input settings to the UMC22 if you haven't already, it can be quite painful, also, make sure your sample rates are the same on both the mic and output and ensure that your DAW is not asking for a different sample rate but considering this has followed you across two interfaces my money is on it being a software issue with your PC.

    Have you ruled out the monitor itself? If this is happening across multiple systems, than maybe its the monitor?
    Does your mobo have a display out (i believe your cpu has integrated graphics), I would try that and see if the same issue persists

    Your motherboard does not support the RAM you are using. It does not support any Crucial RAM at 3200mhz... I would find RAM that is supported here A320M-H(1.1) Pinnacle -QVL-20180403.xlsx (gigabyte.com)

    I would choose this : G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) - PCPartPicker

    You're facing a problem widespread over internet and it has to do with AMD's drivers AND compatibility issues among motherboards and GPU's. Your card could work flawlessly to another rig with different setup (ex. intel based) with no obvious reason. So since you've updated your BIOS you can follow the link bellow which describes several steps to fix the problem.

    That doesnt rule it out. I've had monitors stay on where either the input itself failed or the cable was faulty. Things to consider depending on the age of the monitor

    If you want to go Corsair, I don't think so. If you're going RGB, welcome to the world of extra cables and controllers. I think the Lian Li Uni Fans might be cleaner in terms of hardware needed to drive as they are just standard ARGB fans afaik.

    You can use an adapter like this. I personally would pay a bit more and get some proper active stereo speakers (be careful, most aren't sold as pairs).

    alanp1995 got a reaction from .Apex. in Kernel Power Critical Error in Event Viewer   
    Oh I've had the PSU for almost 3 years now. The 980 Ti I've had for 2 months. So according to that review, I'm lucky to have gotten so much use out of this. Also, when gaming I had a custom fan curve for the 980 Ti to keep the temps down, I can't recall whether or not I had it overvolted too (without any changes made to core and mem clocks). Either way, it seems I'll just order myself a PSU. Will report back if it helps anything.

    Either of these will be solid options, with the Pure Power 11 probably being the quietest and the Formula being very close to it in terms of noise.
