  1. Well since you're using a K series processor a Z chipset board would make the most use of the processor itself where you can OC the CPU and RAM. I've always gone for ASUS motherboards and I'm currently looking at the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero click me! but be warned it is $20 over your budget and only has one USB 2.0 header on it. Z270 boards love RGB lighting and each company has their own take on them and where the LED's are located. Gigabyte went a little crazy with the RGB (IMO) NO, click me!
  2. The stress I meant was the components heating up from the overclocking. Used the wrong phrasing there, my bad! Would there be a noticeable difference between the two types of 750D (airflow and flush-front)? I was going to use the SP140's for the rad fans since they are better for concentrated cooling, or so I've noticed, than the AF140's.
  3. Why do you think the 750D isn't maximized for airflow? I was hoping, myself, to do a liquid cooled CPU (replacing the stock fans with SP140s from Corsair) mounted on the top, and then two front fans and one back fan. I would do a modest OC of the CPU, DRAM, and GPU. Would that put too much stress on the parts because the lack of high airflow provided by fans?
  4. I appreciate it! Overall, do you like the motherboard itself?
  5. Thanks for the help Matt_98! Hopefully the cables themselves are long enough to reach the hub. Otherwise that will be awkward
  6. The hope was to be able to control as much of the "extras" as possible in a single controller. Without the software I thought I wouldn't be able to control the fans, PSU, and CPU cooler?
  7. So I'm trying to build a PC using PcPartsPicker (Phoenix Flagship ). For the motherboard I wanted to use the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero Z270 but after looking closer at it I noticed the motherboard only has one USB 2.0 header. This is a slight problem for me because the case (Corsair Obsidian 750D) has a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 header, the CPU Cooler (Corsair H115i) has Corsair Link adding another USB 2.0 header, and the PSU (Corsair HX750i) has Corsair Link as well. So if my math is correct I need to have X3 USB 2.0 Headers on the motherboard. Is there a way to expand the one USB 2.0 header to the three that I need or is there a reliable hub of some sort I could use?
