  1. In theory you dont need one, but there are different benefits. Some do it for looks, some have it for ease of use (easier fill and avoidance of air) It should also help lower temps, as more water, means more room for the heat to expand out to
  2. @BrandonSing In theory it might run a bit hotter, as the iGPU will add some power draw, but as it is fairly weak, i do not think it would actually make much of a difference
  3. There is no such thing as a truly free website, keep that in mind. Even if you run it off of your own pc - that will have to be on 24/7, and registration on DNS might still cost you. Buying a cheap cloud hosting, registering domain name, and get DNS, would be the cheapest way to get completely customizable website running. Given that you can program everything from scratch and set it all up. (If you are not able to program, there is always CMS systems to help you out)
  4. I concur, buying a cheap used older GPU, will give you ALOT more joy gaming wise, than trying to run off a iGPU, if you really want to wait to spend any real cash until next gen
  5. I am afraid you will just have to let it run its course. Send back the motherboard and drive again - outline the issues and tell them that you a willing to switch to a completely different board if they believe that could solve the issues. They probably wont find a solution, but then you will get a new board - the issue then being if the problem persists, but if you don't want to spend more money, all you can do is let the retailer do what they can - however little it may be.
  6. My 1070 died on me a few months back, and i was not in a hurry, so lived with iGPU for one or two months. You wont feel any difference in simple tasks - but you will be surprised as to what you can "Game". Anything above windowed card games is basically a no go.
  7. For anyone in the future - i resolved the issue.... its kinda embarrassing. But one of the connectors had come loose as i tugged away the cable for looks - so it was only connected on one side.
  8. They are both the same exact type of fan. Noctua 120mm, 4 pin fans It should be noted that the splitter seems so have 3 pins in one of the male connectors, but it is still a 4 pin socket (Edited Original Post with links to products)
  9. Hello, I recently build a new mini-itx system in the Phanteks shift case. The motherboard (strix z370-i) only has a CPU fan header and a single chassis fan header. So i decided to get a phanteks 4pin y splitter, which i have now plugged in, so that it splits the cpu fan header between the radiator intake fan, and a chassis intake fan. The problem now, is that it sounds like one of the fans is just going full throttle, while the other is controllable. I was hoping the speed set on the CPU fan header, would reflect on both fans? is something wrong, or have i misinterpreted how a fan splitter should work? http://phanteks.com/Fan-Splitters.html https://noctua.at/en/products/product-line-industrial/nf-f12-industrialppc-3000-pwm
