AdamTheSlave got a reaction from W-L in Ek a240g + gtx 1080 Ti gaming oc
That is fine for delidding, inbetween the cpu's die and integrated heat spreader is good. On the outside of the heat spreader and on the cooler itself = bad. Basically, what I'm saying is use the thermal compound that comes with the a240g on the cpu/gpu, not gallium/liquid metal/conductonaught/cool lab ultra.. If it comes out looking like liquid metal, don't put it on the top of the cpu/gpu or else you will degrade the aluminum pretty close to instantly to the point you will crack the blocks.

AdamTheSlave got a reaction from themctipers in Amazon sells more than 100 million items on Prime Day
I feel like the only guy that isn't giving into things like Alexa/Google Home.... I just don't really see the use of them. Yeah I know you can make a smart home with them, and that's swell. But I really couldn't care less about that stuff. I think what I fear is my home network getting compromised in some way, and some russian 9 year old running scripts on the things to DDOS a local power station or simply turn on my furnace and shut off my A/C in the middle of a hot summer

AdamTheSlave got a reaction from NMS in H115i pro / AIO questions
I'm going to be honest here... no one has replied because you made this post extremely hard to read. It's litterally a 200 word sentence man. Slow down, put in things like periods, commas, etc.
On to your problem, 8700k's run hot. I have one myself and it took delidding it to get slightly better temps. Your AIO is fine, just make sure you installed the backplate correctly so the slot on the inside lets the rivets/bolts/whatever through and the backplate is flush against the back of the socket. If you had to move it around, make sure you re-apply thermal paste by removing the old, cleaning with alcohol and reapply. 90c when running like prime95 is normal if you did not delid. Delidding dropped me 10c total, so it benches at 80c, which is fine. When you are gaming, like pubg, the cpu will get to 50-60c. So, if it's stable for what you do, it's fine. If the heat is bothering you that bad, just clock it down, lower the voltage. The difference between 5ghz and 4.8ghz in gaming is little to none.

AdamTheSlave got a reaction from incarcecon21 in is a water-cooled 1080Ti better then an air-coolde one
I built a custom loop for my 1080ti/8700k, and temps on the gpu went from 80c (founder's edition blower) with a mild overclock to 45-50c with a massive (2050mhz) overclock. Also the card doesn't thermal throttle much if at all. Granted, I am using the EKFluidGaming a240g aluminum kit, 1 240mm rad, and 1 360mm rad, and cooling a 5ghz 8700k. If you go copper, don't overclock the cpu as much as I did, you delid your cpu unlike me, you will get different results. Many people report to get lower temps than I do.

AdamTheSlave reacted to blameflask in overheating
thank you for helping me. these are some awesome panels but i do see the price and then shipping it to my country would cost a lot. so i did a little digging and found this version of the case with airflow vents that is being sold in my country, it costs 40$ more but on the plus side i get a brand new case and then i can allways try modding the old to see if it would work

RAM || PNY Anarchy-X DDR4 16gb 32mhz
See that's why, you put in ram for a 486... 32mhz is too slow
Joking aside, hope you got it squared away.

AdamTheSlave got a reaction from GoD_OF_GaMiNg in Help overclocking
May I also state, you might want to have your motherboard manual handy to explain things. Basically you want to edge up your cpu multiplier 100 mhz at a time until it becomes unstable. You can check for stability by running prime95, or aida 64. Keep an eye on the temps and make sure they aren't spiking. If you find instability, SLOWLY raise and test the cpu voltage. If the stability comes back after raising the voltages, you can try bumping it up more. If you are running into heat issues, I would back it back down. If you want to fix the heat issues basically you want to either get a good 240mm aio water cooler, or delid your cpu, or both. Sometimes asus throws in automatic overclocking profiles in there for you. They might work, they might not.

Or you can, you know, just tell him to continously hit delete on startup cause thats how you get into 95% of BIOS's and it's easier than going through the OS.

AdamTheSlave reacted to BarackOBatman in GTX 750
Popular games you could play on that are:
Overwatch
World of Warcraft
Fortnite
Dota 2
League of Legends
Rocket League
Minecraft (lol)
Fallout 4 (on low settings?)
Lots and lots of old games (2014-2015 and older?)

AdamTheSlave got a reaction from GoD_OF_GaMiNg in GTX 750
Games I would play on that... Diablo 3, Dota/LoL, Borderlands, Dungeon Defenders, HL2/CSGO/Garry's Mod/Left4Dead2/(insert source engine game here), Torchlight1/2, WoW, Guildwars 2 maybe (it's free), Quake Live, Battlefield 2-3 (possibly 4?), Doom3 BFG Edition, Elder Scrolls Oblivion/Skyrim (without a ton of graphical mods), Fallout 1-New Vegas, Prototype, Any 2D indie game, emulators (except maybe like the ps3 one, but I'd still try), GTA V might run on low settings pretty good. GTA 1-3, vice city, San Andreas, possibly 4-5 on low settings. Titanfall on low settings, Mass Effect, I'd try overwatch on low settings at like 720p, COD 1, 2, 4 mw, mw2 (if you like those games), too many more to list. The trick is, try to get games from like 1-2 years before the board was released and you should be fine.

No but there are some literal Disney works that are public domain in Canada.
Now, of course, Disney is so HUGE it has entire OTHER WAYS to enforce it's control of things.
Canadian Retailer: "We're selling Chinese made copies of Dumbo for cheap cause it's Public Domain. :D"
Disney: "How would you like to NEVER sell ANY Star Wars merch EVER again?"
Canadian Retailer: "Imma just go push these boxes of BluRays RIGHT into the river. Sorry, please forget we said anything."

The 8700k doesn't have a cooler, but the 8700 does. Are you suggesting an additional CPU cooler?
If this is what you addressed in your most recent comment, then disregard
