Not sure if this is even relevant or interesting, as there have been other mining motherboards. Just thought it might warrant a thread because it uses a USB interface (still PCIe) and is apparently more optimized for mining and user friendly. I'm definitely not into cryptocurrency and I want my GPUs for MSRP. It's been better recently, I wonder what effect (if any at all) this might have on mining and GPU supply.

Thanks! I'm excited for high refresh rate and resolution.

70C is fine. Let it run for a bit. Is that overclocked?

1080p ultra

This just helped me out with regards types on contrast ratio. Thanks so much

Thanks 

Here you go.

Don't spend $50-70 on a chip that costs $65 new. 80C at load isn't bad. I hit 99-101 on the stock 4770K cooler

Look at his budget? So Ryzen 5 is recommended.

That's the advantage of Custom loops instead of buying a 160 dollar AIO you can just buy a 160 dollar Pump

The reaction will be too slow to observe with the naked eye over a couple of days, about what I would imagine their QC department spends on validating compatibility.

I have the 400C and I like it. it's a shorter 600C and not inverted.

Only if the z170 board was updated to the latest bios. if you have a friend with a skylake cpu, you could do it yourself.

all these reviews show around 150-170w power consumption under load, and these are with high-end enthusiast i7s, not typical i5s. it will work.

Is the screen running at the correct resolution?

Yeah check the current rating for your fan header on the motherboard. If if is 1A like @done12many2 said, those fans are rated at 0.20A each so you'd be fine.
