As it gets warmer in my area of the world I've noticed my GPU temps go up ever so slightly. To compensate my GPU fan is spinning noticeably faster and it gets louder than I enjoy. What are my other options for cooling besides doing a full customer water cooling loop?

I planned on upgrading to a Z370 / i7-8700K this summer... Guess I'm upgrading to 10

I've rebuilt my computer entirely since I first started on Win 7 so I am using all recent hardware.

I've been running Windows 7 on my computer for ages now. When Microsoft offered the free upgrade program I took advantage of it and absolutely hated Windows 10. There were plenty of issues with hardware and drivers immediately after launched so I rolled back to 7. Apparently because I once had 10 installed, I can still reinstall it. Now that it is a few years later, how good is 10? Is there anything that I am really missing out on by not upgrading? Will I see any better overall performance in day-to-day tasks, heavy workloads, or games? Or is it just a matter of new bells and whistles?

Yes. It has no effect.

Got everything put together, installed Windows, spent and an hour and a half in Windows Update then a number of devices were showing errors in device manager. So I popped in the CD from my motherboard and went about updating the drivers. When I updated my USB drivers however, I get an error message that "Device driver software was not successfully installed". All of a sudden my mouse and keyboard lights go dark and nothing works. I restart the computer and I can use both in my BIOS but once Windows loads I can't use any USB device. So I can't rollback the drivers or troubleshoot anything. Is there any work around to this or am I stuck reinstalling Windows again?
