    I say yes.

    The biggest variable in this test is you, as far as i can see. So unless you do, say, a hundred or so repetitions on each set-up, you cannot draw conclusions from it in respect to your monitor. Of course the rest of the system you use mustn't change.

    It's a running gag
  4. Platypus_90
    There is. NzXT makes one that should fit for yours. But I think you would have to take the Frontplate off of yours. https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-g12-white with the bracket you can install arange off AiOs, theres a list on their website, basically all round asetek ones. PS: Jay's a dickhole

    @Bleedingyamato Also, try to set the core voltage to Normal in the bios - click on the Vcore and hit "+", it jumps to normal then. Most boards add voltage from stock, which leads to higher temps.

    I for one was so curious that i just ordered a Scythe Mugen 5 (don't know if you have those in Canada) to test against my Corsair H80iGT. It mounts similar to Noctuas and is supposed to be quite good. I really think people underestimate the hassle with the hoses with AiO. The ones on the Corsair are so stiff, i don't think the good air coolers are much more difficult to install. Back on topic, the Noctua is an awesome beast, but also slightly overkill for a 1600, i think. Any good 120mm Air cooler will probably give much better thermals and noise than the Spire can. The Arctic Freezer i33 for example comes with AM4 mounting hardware https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B06WV898Y1/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all&qid=1497562378&sr=8-17 and saves you a pretty penny.

    4K TVs are absolutely useless for watching TV, nobody broadcasts UHD anyway and won't for a long time.

    Nice system you got there. Have fun with it.

    Is that an Enthoo evolve? Could you not tune the fans in the front to a high speed (but bearable)? I think it would be fine then. Or if you flip the rear fan and exhaust everything through the top, buy a magnetic 140mm fan filter (they exist) and do as @Mick Naughty suggested.
  10. Platypus_90
    Pull the trigger. Where do you want to mount the Corsair? Intake or exhaust? Exhaust seems to work..
  11. Platypus_90
    They are quiet though, i like my H80i very much.
  12. Platypus_90
    they do. FTL meant the Power supply to the CPU on that board, but don't sweat it, it will be fine if you don't go balls out on the overclock.
  13. Platypus_90
    But the Corsair H60 is compatible out of the Box, for example: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00A0HZMGA/?tag=pcp0f-20 I think the Mobo is fine if you dont want to overclock. Also the CPU is okay for what you want it for out of the box

    Hi, 1, doesn't look like it, 2, fine 3, Not if your overclocking yourself.
  16. Platypus_90
    I have a similar problem with my system. 6600K on a Z170 UD5TH from Gigabyte, Gigabyte G1 1070, 16GB of RAM and the WIN 10 creators update. I can shut down my system, but after a few seconds there's a reboot. I already tried clearing the cmos, reinstalling the GPU drivers and i also changed some Power setting in Windows to no effect. I would be grateful for ideas short of a complete reinstall. Theres also nothing wrong with the Mobo (no error code) or the PSU (even changed the cables). It also reboots with the front connectors of the case unplugged.
  17. Platypus_90
    No, chill out. Worst case is the card is gone. Bios flashing your graphics card cannot damage your motherboard.
  18. Platypus_90
    just be prepared for the possibility that it might be bricked. Good Luck
  19. Platypus_90
    then i dont know what to recommend, besides trying another card (any card) and then trying to flash again..
  20. Platypus_90
    but you should get into the uefi without any graphics-adapter. during boot, press del...
  21. Platypus_90
    Connect your monitor to the mobo and find out if the card is detected at all pls. And i have to say, going by a youtube video and a friggin Youtube-comment to reflash a 120 $ card is reckless.
  22. Platypus_90
    Do you have the link? What did that entail? I guess you flashed another Bios? is the card detected in the Mobo UEFI?
  23. Platypus_90
    Something is wrong with that. Take off the cooler and look for a plastic wrapper or replace the thermal compound. An install cannot throttle the cpu with that cooler. Even if every fan is turned the wrong way.
  24. Platypus_90
    https://www.nzxt.com/products/aer-rgb But consider PWM, fans like the ones above, its just nice to have the control and they will integrate with corsair link.

    mmmmhhh warm paint in the wrap, i bet that's very healthy...
