Brennlamb

I have tried 2 kits of ram on two motherboards, and I've reseated and swapped around my current kit several times with no results.

Hi, I was curious if anyone has heard of this issue I'm having. If I have a monitor plugged into my displayport or hdmi out on my 980ti gpu (I'm running SLI so there's two) my motherboard gives me a b2 error (on both boards I've used it is a cpu memory initialization error) and won't even load the bios. I cannot get anything out of the second card, and its water cooled, so until I take it all apart I won't know if both are having the same problem. However, when plugged into the dvi port I can get into windows safe mode, for a while I could kinda get into windows, but it would lose signal after a while, and I lost my windows installation somehow when I tried to reset windows, thinking it might be an os problem and it lost signal halfway through, now it can only stay safe mode (different installation on a different disk). I initially thought it was the motherboard or CPU, and tested my cpu with a different motherboard, ram, and graphics card and it worked just fine, booted into windows, etc. I have validated all of my hardware separately from the gpus and will leave a list of what my system currently is, and what I've used to determine that everything works fine without the graphics cards. I was curious if anyone had heard of this happening and knew of a way to fix it before I take apart my system again and RMA my card, EVGA tech support seems to believe it is the gpu's causing the error the several times I've called them, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas.

Any questions I will try to answer eventually if not immediately.

I think this would be the best projector for my dorm room, as it would work in the incredibly skinny rooms, and that is awesome.

I really like the appearance of the headphones, it gives them more of an elegant style than gaudy, like most gaming headphones or headsets.

ok, thats great, thanks for the help

Hi, I'm planning on doing a mini-itx build, and I'm debating using the new skylake i7 6700k, but I want a M.2 PCIE ssd, but I don't want to hamper my graphics performance, as the 6700k only has 16 pcie lanes and using the ssd would only allow 8 lanes for my gpu. I could do an x99 system, but the one mini itx mobo I know of doesnt have an m.2 slot, and I'd really like the extra performance of the ssd. I'm just really confused about the performance impact of pcie lanes. I watched Linus' video on the topic but I'm still not totally sure of the benefits or consequences of using a single gpu on an 8x lane as compared to a 16x lane, from what I understand, there really aren't any performance drawbacks between a 16 and 8 lane in sli, and I assume that is the same in a single card, but if the are fine with just a 8x slot, why not ship the card with an 8x connector instead of 16x? Another question I had was whether it was possible to increase the number of available pcie lanes through any additional hardware, because i feel that would be nice, even though I haven't found anything about it being possible and it would solve my dilemma if there was something I could use to allow the m.2 ssd and gpu to utilize their full pcie bandwith.

ok, thank you, it looks like that kit would work really well, thank you for the help and the welcome.

Hi, I'm planning on building a new system soon, and the case I'm planning on using currently has the space for a 360mm radiator in it that I would like to utilize to cool the processor I plan to use, an i7 5930k. The problem I'm having is that I cannot find an AIO unit that appears to have performance that is better than a similar one with a 240mm radiator instead of a 360mm radiator that I am able to order. I would use the 240mm rad, but with the layout of the case it would look a bit strange as you could see through the lower fan compared to the top two, which would drive me insane. I do have enough extra money in my budget to run a custom loop for the cpu, but I have never done one before (though I have watched a ton of videos) and would prefer the convienience of an AIO. Another reason I prefer an AIO is thatI will be traveling between college and home which is a decent drive (~2 hours) and I don't want to worry about a custom loop getting a leak and then having to replace it and possible other parts upon reaching my destination with money out of my own pocket as I doubt the damages could be covered under a warranty (I plan on testing for leaks upon arriving regardless of which type I go with so that I won't turn my sytem on and fry everything). I know of two AIO options, the thermaltake water 3.0, and the Deepcool Gamerstorm Captain 360 that I can order, the Fractal s36 is unavailable to me as I live in the US. I'm trying to determine what I should do, as I plan on overclocking the cpu as much as I can, and would like as much cooling performance as possible while at the same time knowing that I am going to need to transport the system. Any advice helping me narrow down a choice would be appreciated.
