  1. Thanks for the recommendations! For fittings, are they enough to last a while? Im going for soft tubing and are most focused on the longevity of them. Also does choosing ek's own pump mean they are are better or worse?
  2. if i might ask, how would you want to configure the loop? Im mainly water cooling to reduce my noise and get my cpu which is around 55 to 65 degrees under load and my gpu temps which sit around 66 to 72 degrees. Im hoping for a 10 degree difference while not spending too much more. Thank you!
  3. Thanks for the recommendation! Aside from radiator, are all the ek parts good for their price? I specially mean the fittings and water blocks. Thanks
  4. So I wanted to dip my toes into custom water cooling and I have all my parts ready. I'm going with a 360 radiator with a pump and reservoir combo (this is all from ek). However, I want to know if my power supply is able to handle this. Im not a heavy over locker, but do prefer to have at least a little over lock on the cpu and a mild one on the graphics card. I am Going to water cool my gpu and cpu. My radiator planned out for the build is the ek cool stream pe 360 with a pump and reservoir of EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM. My specs are: i7 8700k 32 gigs of trident z 3200mhz memory Asus Z370 gaming e motherboard Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti oc 4 extra case fans Evga G3 750 watt power supply (modular) Fractal Design Define r6 And my current aio is the h115i THANK YOU!
  5. So yesterday I bought a chg90 monitor as I found a deal on it. Setting it up was no problem, but when I finally tried to play some games. The FPS was constantly changing. From 100fps to 40fps, then 60, then 100, etc. I tried an FPS cap on 60, still problems. I do have free sync on and am running a gtx 1080ti. This problem can be seen on both intensive games and non intensive games. Heck, even Fortnite has the problem. Also, after a minute on the desktop, the cursor and response seems to get higher. Also, another problem I have is that whenever I run a game, it blacks out, then reappears with it saying DisplayPort. It’s on all games that I have. I’ll try to post a video of it happening when I get home. Is this normal or not? The cables are running free and are not stressed. (CHG90 is the 49 inch monitor from Samsung. Not the 1440p version.)
  6. I’m looking for a new ultrawide monitor that is 1440p and 144hz. I don’t want 4K as I find it that too much power is needed. My budget is up to 1000 dollars. Preferably has g-sync. Thank you! Any recommendations help. Also, I live in Chula Vista and would like to know some places that might sell those monitors. I had bad experiences with online ordering and whenever I search computer shops, only repair shops come up. I’m okay with traveling to San Diego though.
  7. Hello, I’m in the market for new headphones. I’m not really into audio so xlr and amps are something I don’t want to get into. I play games, some FPS and other third person shooters. I currently have a Corsair HS70 but it recently broke and I don’t really like how close to the ear it is, leaving no air space for my ears. I just want a good sound with good quality. However, I don’t want something from mass drop as it would be better if I could go to a store and try them out beforehand. Price range is 100-150, thank you!
  8. Really? I thought macros were the macros were only the keys left of ctrl, shift, etc. thanks!
  9. Thanks for the advice and do you have any good key cap advice? Like which ones to buy? I’m sure some are better than others
  10. I’m okay with like 5-6 at most, don’t use a lot of them. I use right hand so ambi design doesn’t matter. Although I do like 2 buttons on the side. My macros, I just can’t get used to going over to them, so yeah
  11. The g502 might be premium, but with the time gap between when I first bought it and now, there has to be a better mouse right?
  12. Oh ok then, guess ut was like a placebo effect of me worrying of pressing my keyboard too much, thanks!
  13. But repeated usage can ruin them right? That’s what I heard from my friend who said my f, shift, space, w, ctrl feel weird
  14. It’s 200 USD for each product, so 400 max total with both products
  15. So it’s going to be my bday soon, (March 29 btw) and I’m thinking of getting a new mouse or keyboard. As for budget, under 200 USD and has to be released already. My current mouse is the g502, and it’s a great mouse, I’m just looking for something more premium now. I mostly game with it, so wired is ok and it doesn’t have to be from a “gaming” brand. Suggestions? Also some keyboard suggestions, I currently have the Corsair k95 platinum but by heavy button spamming and usage, I think the key stroke life is starting to disappear. Doesn’t have to be “gaming brand”. Mechanical, under or is 200 USD, mostly will use for typing and games. Full sized preferred. Edit: Some brand suggestions for the future would also be appreciated, thank you!
  16. So I bought a lightning node pro for the lightning to go with all my other Corsair products, but I have a question about the leds. Do I need to connect both ends of my strips to the node pro, or just one end. Also how durable are them? My mom accidentally stepped on them
  17. Final question, so can I get two 16 gb modules and pair them with my 8 gb modules, or is that a no?
  18. But I read on sources that my I7 8700k only supports up to two ram sticks, is this true?
  19. Ok, I planned to use the same exact ram as my other two anyway, but thanks for the information
  20. Do you want me to clean my strix? I bought it like 2 weeks ago at this time
  21. So later I ant to expand my 16gb ram to 32 gb, what I want to know is can I just add two more 8gb sticks or so I have to replace my two 8gb sticks with two 16gb sticks? Thanks. My CPU is the Intel I7 8700k
