  1. Yes, but also no The Intel standard uses a 10-pin connection and this Dell uses a 6-pin connection that could be confused with a PCIe power connector https://www.pcworld.com/article/3518831/how-intels-changing-the-future-of-power-supplies-with-its-atx12vo-spec.html Image is by Gordan Ma Ung of PCWorld
  2. I thought the point of the Tobboii eye tracking was to enable foveated rending in future games. While the links both talk about VR, it should be able to be used in flat 3D games. Nvidia talked about it a lot around the 2016 VR speculative rush and the GTX 1080 launch. https://developer.nvidia.com/pascal-vr-tech https://youtu.be/lNX0wCdD2LA?t=47 In the shorter term, the idea that streaming software could use eye tracking intrigues me. With eye tracking the limited bandwidth of a stream might be better allocated. I don't know if any software implements this, but it sounds cool. https://vr.tobii.com/foveated-rendering/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveated_rendering
  3. Most of these OEM coolers are made by Coolermaster. They use the same thread for all their screw-down coolers, so just buy another of that type to avoid backplate problems. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8T2BQT https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/masterair-g100m
  4. It is not really a build guide video. They cut parts off the list and sometimes items appear more then once on the list. I did look at it and try to write it up. They do not show a list for each price point. My price points are what is spent on the GPU, and notes the changes I could see. $80 CPU that is cut off (Ryzen 3 2200G is about that price in USD) MicroATX $100 ASRock B450M PRO4 RAM $70 8 GB 3000 DDR4 Disc $40 is 2 TB Hitachi 7K3000 mechanical storage Power supply $45 is Corsair 450 Watt 80+ Bronze $100 - No new cards to recommend. $150 - RX 570 Switch to Ryzen 5 3600 here Switch to Corsair 850w 80+ Bronze $240 - Vega 56 Used if used is ok (or $270 GTX 1660 Ti new) Switch to 1 TB Intel 660p SSD here Switch to 16 GB of budget RAM here (kinda have to see video) $330 - RX5700 beats all (or $350 RTX 2060 for Nvidia drivers) Switch to Ryzen 7 3700X here, stock cooler Switch to ASUS TUF X570-PLUS Switch to faster SSD, Sabrent Rocket Switch to faster RAM, Ballistix Elite, still 16 GB Switch to SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850 Watt power This a place where you can get comfortable. $500 - RTX 2070 Souper (or $400 RX5700 XT with open cooler) Switch to faster RAM, G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16 GB Add RGB $775 - RTX 2080 Souper (no competition at or past here) It makes sense to use the APU at the bottom end, as it lets people take their time finding a used GPU. It also give the used GPU buyer a known-good system for testing their purchases.
  5. Good speed Generic looks Zero Mt.Dew 7/10 The single Corsair LL120 in your list would not have lit up without a controller. You were going to lack Mt. Dew for the build. The Livestrong anti-satic bracelet is unnecessary. While some people suggest a grounding wristband to dissipate static, I think they are a waste for PC building. Plug in your power supply and touch it each time you come to the workplace. A powerstrip with an off switch can be used, if your power supply does not have a physical power switch on the back to turn off. The parts list below switches the build to platinum/white and adds two more LL120 fans with a controller. It also changes to white RGB memory and a white CPU cooler with LED fan. It also eliminates the spinning drive and doubles the size of the boot SSD. An all-SSD computer is a nice luxury, if you can afford to go that route. SSD prices keep falling, and MX500 2 TB drives are already $210. Storage can be expanded over time, but most motherboards only have one M.2(M) port. The GF or roommate will appreciate the lack of ticking and grinding (noises).

How good is it? Dollar for dollar it could be the best affordable case on the market right now. Take a look at the review of this case on Pcper.com
  6. Many Ryzen 5/7 and i5/i7 systems can not hit the highest speeds specified by the kit of memory.

  8. Sure, you can get a 120mm top-down cooler, like the Noctua NH-C14S. I think Noctua's 92mm tower-style coolers do a better job then their 120mm top-down-style coolers, see the CPU Air Cooler Mega Test that is linked above. The Arctic i11 is a good cooling deal, and gets temperatures close to the top-down-style coolers.
  9. The Max CPU cooler height 120 mm is imposed by the Riotoro CR 1080. This means that tower coolers would need to use 92mm fans to fit into the case. I would go with the same two brands, but smaller coolers. ARCTIC Freezer i11 Noctua NH-U9S 92mm
  10. I do not think that a dual tower is necessary. A single tower is fine for most applications. I like the Arctic Freezer i32 due to its excellent performance/price ratio. If yuou are thinking of spending more, the Noctua NH-U14S is also good for the money.

  11. The Dancase A4 will be available this winter at Caseking.de for the EU and Overclockers.Co.Uk for the ROW. The price will be around the same as Kickstarter. Info from here: https://hardforum.com/threads/dan-a4-sfx-the-smallest-gaming-case-in-the-world.1799326/page-147#post-1042443876 The case was available on Kickstarter a few weeks ago, and they sold over 1,600 units at $280 USD (w/tax & delivery). I bought one then. I'm going to move my i3–6100, 512 Samsung 850 pro, and GTX 1080 FE when is arrives. Anandtech just confirmed that i3-6100 is the currrent budget king. I had bought it because other Skylakes were well above MSRP at the time. (I am expecting to replace it with Kaby Lake, someday.) http://www.anandtech.com/show/10543/the-skylake-core-i3-51w-cpu-review-i3-6320-6300-6100-tested/13
  12. The C7 is the best LGA115X cooler tested, according to Cryorig. https://mobile.twitter.com/CRYORIG/status/669822581839519745 They are referancing the Hardocp thread that Dondan is posting updates to: https://hardforum.com/threads/dan-a4-sfx-the-smallest-gaming-case-in-the-world.1799326/page-87#post-1041976866
  13. Linus explains, while sticking in the controller box, that it is the Cablemod RGB kit. It could be the 30cm or the 60cm kit, as that was not disclosed. LMG Cablemod link: http://bit.ly/21bg7s5
