AMD FreeSync is AMD's display technology that works only with AMD graphics cards such as the RX 580.
 
What AMD FreeSync does is simple; FreeSync eliminates screen-tearing and syncs up the excess frames that the graphics card might have if FreeSync was not present.
 
Short note on screen tearing, this is when the monitor is receiving more frames that it can handle, such as 120FPS getting displayed to 60Hz, this essentially tears the screen in half due to the overload of frames that are trying to update the screen whilst also trying to display it.
 
The best one is obviously whichever monitor you have, FreeSync if you have an AMD card, G-Sync if you have an Nvidia card.

Well obviously the RAM frequency is the most important metric to measure a PC by. 

Who cares what people wear in public, whichever is more comfortable for them, go ahead!
Personally, I use earphones when I'm on the move on the bus or walking somewhere, and use headphones when I'm in the library or somewhere where I know I'll be there for an extended period of time.
I like my music so whichever way is more convenient for my head is the best for me, I don't mind what the public thinks because at the end of the day, it's my music listening experience and they people who look at me (which is rare, mind you) are none of my business anyway.

1) Sometimes yes, sometimes no
2) It should perform as it did
3) Some motherboards are going to turn off the 2200g's internal graphics, but otherwise it will not conflict
4) Windows can install drivers when starting up the first time on the new system, so you should be fine
5) You could, but exept the reasons for refreshing there's no difference

Following Verge's build guide. 

Here's the thing. We haven't gone anywhere this generation if you are a gamer who doesn't do compute or cares about ray tracing. Sure a 2080 is about a 1080 ti, but it costs basically what a new 1080 ti did. If you want to go used, a 1080 ti can be had ~$600, so much cheaper than a 2080.

thats fine #stay positive

I suggest just using the cooler fan as an exhaust on the other side rather than have it as an intake, it saves you having to do the unconvential back-to-front air flow technique.
 
Are you sure it blocks it? I thought HyperX Fury were standardised for tower coolers.

Corsair Void Pro, Corsair HS70, and the SteelSeries Arctis lineup are ones to consider.

It is, those are the Corsair SP120 RGB fans that are projecting the purple there. I could potentially use one of those for the main CPU cooler to replace that stock Arctic cooler fan I have.

Wow, thanks man!
 
I might just go with the Deepcool one, I have two of my NZXT case fans left over so I can easily install those onto the case.  

What if it's just ambient room temperature that's causing this temperature rise? Was it any hotter/colder in the past two days?

It might look more severe in pictures, so I can't quite tell.
 
If the bleed annoys you enough, then you should replace it.
 
If the bleed is barely noticeable and you can just see it in daily use, then no reason to replace an entire monitor.

For $20 more than a 1070 TI? Yes. That's a great deal on a new GTX 1080. Some people might say that you can reach 1080 performance with the GTX 1070 TI, but that's only if you overclock. By default, a 1080 will match or even outperform an OC'd 1070 TI, and it will beat one even more if you OC.

"Smoother" as in there's less input lag compared to just 60FPS, I suppose.
 
I have a 75Hz monitor, and had my framerates capped to 75FPS for a while. Once I uncapped it back to 200FPS+ on CSGO, I could definitely feel less input lag, even if it was minimal. But the point still stands, 60Hz can only output 60FPS and no more than that.

Build it with the stock Wraith cooler at first, and then if you're unhappy with how it performs/noise levels then you can look at replacing it later.

Hi there, I'm Seoz, and I don't recommend the Asus Prime Z370-P. After countless times where I've witnessed users on LTT ask for advice on builds, only to find that their chosen motherboard is the Asus Prime Z370-P, it's time I made a full-blown discussion.
 
What we have in terms of motherboard features:
• Two, count 'em, two, chassis fan headers
• Two M.2 slots
• Four SATA 6G ports
• Z370 chipset
 
Labelled below are all the flaws of the motherboard that I have experienced firsthand minus the M.2 shields because I don't use an M.2/NVMe. Having two chassis fans is a struggle when you need to fit four fans into your system, especially when one of those two chassis fan headers is slap-bang in the middle of the motherboard, come on...
Secondly, the lack of VRM heatsinks is a punch in the gut. If a company like Asus is going to make a motherboard for the Z370 chipset and not include VRM heatsinks, that's when eyebrows get raised. I'll go more into this later.
Lastly, there are only four SATA ports. I must clarify that this doesn't affect me in any way since I am only using a single SSD in my system, so really this point may not apply to many, and the typical user I've seen will only ever need two or three SATA slots and possibly an M.2 anyway. But for those looking for storage expandibility, you're kind of short here in the Z370-P.

 

 
Onto my personal usage with this motherboard, and to be brutally honest, despite my views on it, it's been okay.
 
I'm not a heavy overclocker and so I've only ever gone as far as 4.6GHz 1.2V before.
... But that was before my motherboard started misbehaving.
I remember back when I was new to the overclock scene and had my 8600K set to 4.7GHz on a 1.25V core voltage, it felt nice. I had it running just under a week until my PC had random shutdowns and mishaps in normal usage where my PC would cut out signal, crash, blue-screen, you name it, and it was all resolved when I rolled back to 4.4GHz on 1.2V.
 
My second experience was when I was installing my brand new Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One into my case, and I had no choice but to remove the entire motherboard out of the case for me to be able to install it. So, standard procedure, undo standoff screws, unplug cables, and grab by the edges. It was agony to take it out, I could hear it bending about and cracking.
When it came to installing my new cooler, I found out that the bracket that the 33 eSports uses actually clashes with the backplate on the Z370-P, and so I had to use a lot of force to get it actually on, needless to say, it did flex a lot and audible creeks galore. I did get the cooler on eventually after the backplate mishap, and also managed to fit my motherboard back into my case.
 
Next, I want to talk about the lights, or lack thereof. This is one of the only Asus boards to not support Asus Aura Sync lighting. it only features brutally cheap-looking orange lighting by the audio side and inside the PCIe bracket clips, it's kind of disgusting to have it on, especially when the only options are either static, breathing, or off. Needless to say, I chose the last option. The motherboard shows its value by not having the addition of Asus Aura Sync lighting and instead opting for orange LEDs... Good if you're going for an orange build I guess, but the other factors outweigh this pro anyway.
 

 
I understand my views and opinions on the board may have been controversial to some degree and I may even be under fire for what I have said, but it's my motherboard, and it's my experiences. Not everything is bad about the motherboard despite what I have said about it. It's cheap (interpret that how you will) so it may make a good budget option in the right configuration, and it's also a fairly nice entry-level motherboard.
I feel as if this motherboard was made for the people whom are just getting into PC building and are looking to enter the Coffee Lake chipset on a tight as budget as possible, and this is where the Z370-P comes in. In the big picture, it really isn't a bad motherboard, you get what you pay for.
 
This motherboard was made for those whom are:
a) not looking to overclock heavily - think 8350K & 8600K lightly overclocked, 8700K don't bother
b) thinking of small budgets
c) want a foundation to 8th-generation Intel CPUs
d) don't need that much storage expansion
 
To finish off, the Asus Prime Z370-P is a good board for those whom aren't major enthusiasts, but just want to test the waters on light overclocks and get into PC building.

I had the idea to go for the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One - which I shall be calling the Arctic 33 eSports from here - when I was itching to replace my ugly behemoth known as the Cooler Master Hyper 212, and also because I wanted more out of my CPU, particularly in temperatures. (Spoiler: It succeeded)
 
Starting with the mounting of the cooler itself, I ended up having to remove my entire motherboard out of case due to the nature of the mounting bracket, which needs to latch on, and would be extremely difficult had I kept the motherboard inside the case.
I did run into a problem where my motherboard's CPU backplate actually clashed with the 33 eSports's mounting plate, so I ended up having to lightly force the backplate onto my motherboard so the mounting holes would be parallel to the motherboard's holes. This showed why tower air coolers should be mounted outside the case, it eliminates any claustrophobia than if one were to attempt a cooler mount inside the case.
In the end, I did manage to get it installed through Arctic's handy YouTube tutorial and my own experience with the Hyper 212 which I had mounted thrice previously.
 
As you can see, it matches everything in my PC (and outside to boot) perfectly! Couldn't have planned the color scheme better if I tried! Excellent color choices from Arctic.
 

 
Next was placing the board and the new cooler back inside my PC, and behold, the sexiest my PC has ever looked since its birth back in June. The 33 eSports' beautiful black and white contrasting color scheme blends in perfectly with the rest of my PC components, however admittedly the fan ddoes look a little lonesome with no RGB/LED lights on it, in the future perhaps?
 

 
The cooler looks absolutely beautiful once inside the case and surrounded by the hardware atmosphere, it looks right at home and makes me wonder how this option flew over my head when I was starting out my PC build. Better late than never.
 

 

 
 
Now onto the temperatures, they prepare your eyes.
Here is my PC; and 8600K at 4.4GHz 1.2V, now with the brand new eSports One cooler installed.
I ran a Cinebench R15 test and the highest my PC ever went was 61°C on a 4.4GHz overclock. Magnificent.

 
I got slightly manic and wanted to go further, and decided to run my 8600K at 4.7GHz and still 1.2V.
... It peaked at 62°C. I swear I didn't PhotoShop these temps/clocks either.

 
I am completely astounded by the strength of this cooler which I bought for £35. The Hyper 212 I bought for £10 less, by the way. I have complete confidence in using this cooler full-time on my 8600K at 4.4GHz and above, the temperatures are unbelievable.
Moral of the story, get this cooler, because the Arctic 33 eSports One is the blatant budget choice for temps and clocks. The 33 eSports is also more aesthetically-pleasing to literally everything else.. No really, asking anyone and 10/10 times they'll prefer the Arctic 33 eSports One's visuals.
So what can we get out of this comparison? It's that the Arctic 33 eSports can hold temperatures exceptionally well. In fact my 4.4GHz and 4.7GHz Arctic 33 eSports runs were done in succession within two minutes of each other. This is beneficial when you're doing heavy workloads and usage over the course of a long period. This fits into my usage, so it's a no-brainer that the Arctic 33 eSports would be destined for me.
 
 

 
Let's talk about how the dynamics of how the cooler works.
 
The architecture and design of the cooler is genius. The fans and the finwalls of the heatsinks help in dissipation, as shown below:

There is also a thermal wall inside of the heatsink that creates artifical turbulence to dissipate more heat using more surface area. As you can see below, traditionally without thermal coating, the middle portion of the heatsink remains cold and doesn't contribute to any heat dissipation which is wasted surface area.

The design of the fan also allows for universal RAM module compatibility with RAM sticks of any height due to the width of the heatsink and fan not overlapping any DIMM modules.

What do you play?
Well, he has a point. A whole ton of people do ask this question, and really, it comes down to 'what does OP play and do?'

1) yes, but 8700k doesnt support quad channel. You can use 4 sticks, but it puts two sticks into the same channel.
 
2) Expect 1-3%, depending on the task. 
 
3) Objectively, never. Subjectively, you can answer that yourself.

The i7 makes the most sense out of all 3. Multithreaded for stream encoding, decent single threaded (relatively speaking)
Yeah cause he obviously has an 8700k lying around mixed with those other 3
