Fair point!

Do you think that the 212 is good enough for 4.5?

I am interested in overclocking my i7-6700K 4.0GHz Right now I am running the coolermaster hyper evo 212. I am interested in overclocking the cpu to 4.5GHz. I am planning to upgrade my cooler sometime soon and I have been looking at the Noctua NH-D15, D14, NZXT Kraken x62 and the Corsair h100i v2 Is liquid or air cooling better? I am mainly looking for cooling power and don't mind noise that much but I would prefer not to have too much noise. Right now the evo 212 noise level is fine for me. Are there any other coolers that are worth looking at? My price range would max out at 200$. Also I am interested in some new case fans. Any suggestions for that? Thanks

Oh ok thanks. never tried that, but now I know that I can.

Thanks, that clears up a lot of confusion!

But is that not super bad for your PC?

I believe you, I'm just so confused why other people are using PSU's with a much higher wattage than mine with similair builds.

Build: CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 Motherboard: Asus Z170-Pro Atx LGA1151 Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" SSD Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card PSU: Corsair CX450M I am interested in overclocking my CPU and upgrading however I don't know how much more my power supply can handle. I keep seeing builds online with i7s but they are using at least 800W PSUs, I calculated my PSU using multiple power supply calculators and so I picked this one. All is working fine so far, no problems. However I want to overclock my CPU, probably to around 4.5GHz, would my PSU handle it? Again I calculated the power supply usage online with the overclocking specs and apparently my PSU can still handle it. Furthermore, I want to make upgrades to my build including getting the NZXT Kraken X62 and a GTX 1080. The calculator still says my PSU can handle it however I am still very skeptical just because a ton of other people with similar builds to mine are using much higher wattage PSUs. Also, say I wanted to get a PSU around 800W for my current build and no upgrades, would this be bad for my computer? P.S. I know that my CPU cooler probably won't handle overclocking that well so I want to get a new cooler before overclocking.

Well I mean unless I'm using my pc my keyboard and mouse will probably off to save battery.

What do you think? Anyone have any experience with them? I am curious about getting one and i'm aware of lag issues and battery issues but I would assume manufacturers would try and overcome them the best way possible.

Yeah that works but I prefer to keep all my cables in the back just for general aesthetics.

I have both the razer blackwidow keyboard and some computer monitors. My keyboard has a headphone output in it. I have my computer monitors connected to the green output in my pc but I want to plug my keyboard in as well. I don't want to have both the headphones and my monitors outputting sound, I just want to be able to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug back in. Is there a way I can do this?

You think so? Well thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I already bought windows 8.1 but ill know for next time

So what I would do is open the .iso file on my mac, copy all the files on that .iso onto a USB?

I'm a stickler for privacy. Even though windows 7 is the most private. I think I can deal with windows 8. Might upgrade in the future However.
