Thanks for the information! I apologize for my stupid question.

True. In that case I will just change to a motherboard that supports overclocking. But since I'm always open to learn new things I will now ask a very stupid and beginner level question. But lets say I get a 7700K or any K CPU for that matter would it still work with a non overclockable motherboard?

I'm curious about this, https://ark.intel.com/compare/88195,97128,97129 Core i7-7700 runs at 3.6 GHz with all four cores loaded or up to 4.2 GHz with just one thread. Core i7-7700K runs at 4.2 GHz fully loaded or up to 4.5 GHz with just one thread

Ah okay. Might as well change it to a non k than. Just out of curiousity, would a K version of a CPU still work with a non overclockable mobo?

What exactly do you mean by worse power delivery? My main intention is not really to overclock it, since I'm using the stock cooler. And no I have not ordered it yet. That's why I made this thread.

Gaming Build - The Yin Yang So I'd like to start of by saying, that this build is not yet 100% complete, more like 90% complete. As a final stage, I'd like to share my build with you guys here at the LTT forums, and hear what you have to say about it. I'm looking for suggestions on what I possibly should change. As far as I can see, this seems to be a pretty decent gaming build. And it will serve my needs very well. I'm going to use this computer MOSTLY for gaming, at 1440p and even 4k. I may even try to do some streaming and lighter content creation such as video editing. Before I show you the part list, I'm aware that a Ryzen CPU would be better at content creation, however since gaming will be the focus of this build, I went for an Intel CPU instead. Since most games seem to favor faster single cores. I want to be clear, I'm not looking to start a CPU war with this thread, if you feel like bashing on each others opinions, try to keep it in your individual inboxes instead. And if you are curious about my opinion, I believe that both Ryzen and Intel provides amazing CPUs, but in this case I chose an Intel CPU because I have great experience with them. I didn't really have a budget for this build, but I tried to keep it under 2000$. And I think I did a pretty good job at that, I do have around 300$ left to spend If I like, but the cheaper, the better! Naming a computer can seem abit silly to some people, but just for the hell of it, I decided to name mine, Yin Yang. You will notice that my build has a white/black theme hence the name . When it comes to peripherals, I use a G710 keyboard from Logitech and a G900 mouse from Logitech. The part list can be found down below.

Also make sure that your new RAM stick also shares the same clock speed as your old ones.

Roger that!

Alrighty, I guess it safe to connect both monitors to my GPU then. Should I be worried however that my GPU never clocks down? Or is this normal for Nvidia cards to do? EDIT - I'm sorry for these beginner questions, I just want to be sure that my GPU will be fine

I tried to have both monitors connected to my GPU a while ago, but I noticed that it would never clock down. And the GPU temperature was also going up. From around 28-30 degrees C with one monitor whilst idle. With two monitors it went all the way up to 44-46 degrees whilst idle.

Hello LTT community. I've encountered a small problem regarding my motherboards display ports, just to clarify, when I say display ports I mean the ports for HDMI/DVI/VGA. I'm currently using two monitors. One for gaming and one for general use like, browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos and so forth. The monitor I'm using for gaming is connected to my GPU whilst my second monitor is connected to the motherboard. Yesterday Everything worked fine. However today, it does not work anymore, I only get, "No signal", I also tried connecting to the DVI and VGA ports, but with no luck. When I connected my monitor to the motherboard the first time the driver for Intel HD Graphics installed. But today, it doesn't work at all. Any clue as to why? The reason why I decided to have one monitor connected to my motherboard was to remove some of the stress from my GPU.

I'm not trying to make fun of you in anyway now, but after you made the changes did you remember to press the Apply button. Sometimes that, "Do you want to apply these changes" window doesn't show up properly.

Well that boy only have me when it comes to computer related issues. His mother cannot afford a proper gaming PC for him, since she is a single mom. So I decided to help him out
