Wait, so other than the keycaps and no RGB there are no differences?
-
Thanks for the information, and yes I did also post this on reddit; just trying to get as many peoples views as I can. I really do like the CM, but the LED's are really pulling me into the Strafe. And I know that's not a very good reason to buy a keyboard, but it's very tempting to me.

I can't decide between these two keyboards. They a currently the same price, making the decision even harder. I like the (mostly) better build quality and standard key layout of the Pro L, but I really like the RGB customization and USB passthrough on the Strafe. Which one should I go for?

Alright, thanks!

I was looking at Phanteks PH-F120MP or Noctuas NF-F12. Would those be suitable? Which would you choose?

I recently bought an H60 (which I somewhat regret buying) for my 6700K and while it works okay, it's just a little off of the performance I was looking for. I have my 6700K OC'd to 4.6Ghz on 1.36V. On Prime95 26.6 (Small FFTs) I'm getting around high 70s, low 80s (celcius). I wouldn't call those temps awful, but I'd like them to cool down a bit (preferably staying under 80C). If I got a better fan would that help? While I'd like to get two for push/pull, I can really only fit one on the radiator because of my case (but I currently have the rad in the front for the coldest air). I'm not too worried about the noise level, as I'm looking for a bigger boost in temperatures. Any fan recommendations would be great! Another note: My idle temps are fine (between 25C-34C). Another note: The voltage is already as low as I can get it while staying stable.

Skylake (6600K) or wait for Zen?

I suppose. Thanks! -

Good point. Not sure if I'd like to wait that long, so I guess I'll just get the best thing I can right now. -

Well obviously; you've had the same computer for 8 years! But in all seriousness, now that I have the cash for a pretty decent build I just want to go ahead and spend it. I'll consider holding off, but I might buy some parts I'm already set on (Basically only GPU and PSU), like you said. -

I'm aware that AMD never said that, but I saw a few benchmarks (obviously not real ones) that showed it being around 980 performance. -

I thought Zen was Q4 2016? Some people said around October. If if wasn't until 2017, then I definitely wouldn't be waiting that long. -

Lets just hope that it's not another RX 480 situation where it was rumored to be as good as a 980 and now that it's released is barely as good as a 970 (if not worse). -

As much as I'd like to want to wait, I was hoping to get a new PC before the end of the summer. Like I said, I've been using my current one for a while (the last couple of years) and it's been really lacking lately (FX-6300, Hd7850 (1GB). They were already sort of old parts at the time, and now they are really falling behind. I don't need a better PC by the end of the summer, but getting one soon would be better. -

Alright thanks! -
I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard and CPU, and I'm having trouble deciding between getting a 6600K and a Z170 board, or waiting for AMD's Zen. I've been in need of a new PC for a while, and while I could hold off and wait a couple months, I'd much rather upgrade soon. I just don't want to upgrade now, and then regret it once something better for around the same price comes around. Any suggestions or useful information would be appreciated.
