  1. IMO, I used some blocks and fittings from them. Fittings are terrible but blocks are great
  2. Bitspower has many colors for their fittings and tube. I wonder which one is the most reflective to make my rgb looks brighter? Black sparkle or silver shining?
  3. Check CPU fan on CPU fan header
  4. DDR3 works too. I tried with my i7-6700 on H170
  5. actually, you could run i3 8100 on b150 with edited bios. i3 8100 has the same performance as i5 6500 and even cheaper
  6. And the PSU is junk. it might fry your components someday
  7. They are almost equal GPUs so don't bother with rx580 unless you want vega 56 or higher
  8. Of course I did, the cpu and gpu are in a good range (40-60). From the signs of thermal paste and pad on cpu and MOSFETs, they are working properly.
  9. Cuz I realized the chokes are much hotter than MOSFETs. And I saw the thermal pad on MOSFETs are well placed but not on chokers. Due to zero air flow, the chockers would reach 100 degree C or more I guess and cause win 10 BSOD with Machine Check Expection code
  10. I have an Asus z370i motherboard with EK monoblock. After I installed it, my 8600k cannot reach 5Ghz. I guess the vrm is overheated while the cpu temp is around 70 degree C. I check the thermal pad and it turns out that the block could touch the chokes with 1mm thickness. Does anyone know what thickness the pad should be?
  11. Nope, maybe you can try Newegg and ship overseas
  12. I don't know. You are in South Africa while I am not
  13. Is there any other website that sells ram? I can find one for you.
  14. You should get a bigger cooler like dark rock 4 or U12S. And the motherboard is not so good in my opinion
  15. I guess this is what you need :https://www.wootware.co.za/g-skill-f4-3200c16d-8gvkb-ripjaws-v-8gb-2x4gb-ddr4-3200mhz-cl16-1-35v-black-desktop-memory.html
  16. Your current setup is good enough to streaming games but 1070ti is a good choice.
  17. You already have a good rig but I see you wanna push the limit. RTX 2080ti would be my first choice.
  18. In theory, vega64 is better than 1070, but you might meet cpu bottleneck or others. Besides your vega might be used to mine so it could be damaged.
  19. The problem is on your CPU for sure. Check pins on the back of the cpu or return it.
