  1. Apparently you can fit a 280mm up top if you lower the exhaust fan.
  2. Oof. Yeah but I'm wondering about that case and whether or not I can fit two rads in it. Both being 280mm
  3. So that has 3 fans right? Mine only had two so it can fit the rad and fans in front.
  4. PSA: No I do not want to do a custom loop and I realize I would not see much performance gain by switching out my cpu air cooler for an AIO. Okay, So I have this build with the exception of the second AIO (Right now I have a Noctua D-15). My problem is that I saw that you can fit a 280mm AIO up top if you move the exhaust fan down even though fractal design specs state that it only supports up to 240mm. Want I want to accomplish is simply this: Front 280mm AIO running to GPU using the G12 bracket, and 280mm AIO top mounted for the CPU. One rear exhaust fan. In theory I should have good thermals right? Also will this fit with both AIO's installed? I have been googling my ass off to see if someone has this particular set up and cannot find a single one due to it being so specific. I was referencing a hardwarecanuks video and a bitwit video and it looks like the AIO up top that is a 240mm AIO leaves just enough room for another AIO to be installed in the front. HELP ME PLEASE. And thank you for your time. Edit: I'm also open to putting a 140mm AIO at the bottom front part of the case with an additional intake fan and putting the 280mm on top for the cpu.
  5. @wildthing Just installed the Noctua D-15. Without delidding I'm hitting 5GHZ @ 1.375. Max temps under Aida64 load for 15 minutes is 72 C. This Cooler is a monster. Thank you!
  6. Awesome thank you! I'm going to order that cooler before I delid.
  7. As far as the liquid metal application goes how do I reseal it? Does the kit come with it a material to reseal it? I'm willing to go back to air cooling. How would the Noctua NH-D15 perform on this level? I have a Hyper 212 Evo in my old rig that I can still add a fan on.
  8. Currently running an 8600k overclocked to 4.8ghz with a h80i v2 for cooling. I also have additional fans in my case (nzxt s340) Right now under an AIDA64 load for 15 minutes I'm getting a successful OC at 1.245 V. I'm attempting to join the 5GHZ club just for bragging rights. I had a 5GHZ OC @ 1.375V but temps reached to 100 C. I just switched to thermal grizzly conductonaut and it is a world of a difference but I'm wondering what I can do to push it 200 mhz more. Any tips? I was thinking of delidding. If that's the case can someone help me on where can I get the tools to do so?
  9. So I ran prime95 for almost an hour and here are my temps. Do you think I have any room to push my 8600k any further?
  10. Thank you for your input. I do get where your coming from but searching on amazon and seeing like the "red dragon mechanical keyboard" plus like all of the other random "gamey names" I just want some real people to offer me up a decent selection. I think I'm going to go with this. It's not cherry mx but I think I might like it.
  11. Yeah just a year later. Maybe a new brand has hit the market and someone has recently picked it up and would like to recommend it to me. All I'm doing is fishing for user reviews within a community that I trust.
  12. I'm willing to go the route to buy one and get used to it or return it if I absolutely hate it. Thank you for your input.
  13. Alright you do you, but this forum isn't your personal googling machine I know it's not. And I have read recent reviews I come here to see what your average-enthusiast user would buy.
  14. Found the g413 for 51.99 might pick this up. Thanks!
  15. Video is almost a year old. Wanted something a little more current.
  16. Currently in the market for a mechanical keyboard. Never owned one before. Looking for a good price(sub $40 usd maybe up to 50). Any recommendations?
  17. Finally jumping from the 60hz world to the 144hz world. Ended up seeing a deal on an MSI monitor and finally thought it was a good entry level into the world of 144hz. Has anyone had any experience with this model? Pros, cons? Thanks for your input! I'm also open to any info or tips you have about 144hz gaming. I know this monitor has freesync but gsync is just way to expensive.
  18. You're right. My apologies. My 2500k has served me well at 4.8ghz. But it's time to move on... Going to edit my post now.
  19. I think I can take an opinion ftom all of you about the hardware and not argue who I listen and take advice from. I'm an adult just looking for some insight. I can make decisions.
  20. It would also be more expensive for a ryzen switch. I have to get an am4 bracket for my AIO. which is also why I was going to stick with Intel. Not gonna lie the ryzen bundle I found is a deal. Just not convenient.
  21. Thank you. And I'm not forgetting about a ryzen build just thought I should stick with Intel due to Jay's two cents recent video.
  22. So I have an AIO H80i v2 on my CPU and a GTX 1060 6gb. I think it's time to make the transition to a new generation and decided on 8th gen processor's. I'm a casual pc gamer at 1080p and want to update my current rig. I don't need many features like SLI but I want the capability to overclock if I want down the road. Will this motherboard be suitable for overclocking?
