    That's not a weird document, that's a dump log for troubleshooting purposes.

    If I understand correctly, you're gonna move this on your back from home to the office. Which therefore implies that it is a SFF system of some kind. So CLC and a decently large heatsink is out of the option then (Assuming the case is a low profile case of some sort). My recommendation for low profile coolers are: Noctua NH-L9i Cryorig C7 Cryorigh C1 (Maybe) Thermalright AXP-100 H Muscle or stick with your stock Intel cooler.

    Speecy....isn't necessarily the most accurate at reporting system info.

    Your CPU is more than capable. You have more then enough ram. An SSD will speed up OS and load time, and make the user experience better, but most likely not gaming performance.
  5. itsmyjobtoknow
    Might help if you use DDU to nuke all the graphics drivers files, and install driver freshly.
  6. itsmyjobtoknow
    A CLC (close loop cooler) is probably overkill for that CPU. Get a decent size heatsink if you want it to be relatively quiet. Or stick with the stock heatsink if you don't feel like spending money.
  7. itsmyjobtoknow
    Make sure you didn't apply too little thermal paste on the GPU...as the Hawaii chipset is huge. Other possible solution is to get a better cooler on the card, whether or not it is an CLC or a beefer heatsink is up to you. OR do the ghetto way and place a 120mm/140mm fan near the card so it can more airflow.
  8. itsmyjobtoknow
    Like I said, 65 degree idle is COMPLETELY normal, I have the same exact card. What you may want to do first, is set the fan speed at 100% when playing game, (yes it will get audible). See if that makes it any better, if not....you have an option to reapply the thermal paste, or get a new card Edit: OR attempt to complain with MSI and tell them your problem to see what they can do for you (I doubt they'll do anything though)
  9. itsmyjobtoknow
    65C Idle is normal. It won't spin it's fan unless it's over 65C, so when it reaches it, it will maintain it at idle. Now, for load, A. is your case small or have optimal air flow? My friend had an issue before just like the one you describe, and it was because his case lack proper airflow for an open cooler card and because it was SFF. B. Have you change your thermal paste, it might change the temps a degree or two, but not by much.

    Not all M.2 SSD are PCIe based. There are some that are still using the SATA III interface.

    Gigabyte X99 UD4 for 78ish USD... Asus X99 Deluxe for 120ish USD...

    Bitcoin is no longer profitable with GPUs. It has all gone to ASIC hardware now.

    IMO, 1080 would be a better buy. The pricing is way to close to make the 1070 a value/worthwhile buy.
  14. itsmyjobtoknow
    Well...if you live in the US, I've seen prices of a 1070 as high as 500USD...which is similar pricing to a 1080. So if you see the prices around 500USD, might as well get a 1080 instead.
  15. itsmyjobtoknow
    Found you something that looks similar to what yoy described. https://www.amazon.com/Elitech-Aluminum-Monitors-Standing-Adjustable/dp/B00MY6MQSW/ref=sr_1_64?ie=UTF8&qid=1498444045&sr=8-64&keywords=monitor+mount+triple From what I can tell, you can re-arrange the mounts on the stand.

    Calc II....have fun...make sure you at least remember/know Calc I material. But based on your schedule...I think you'll better off holding WCing until winter break. IMO, last thing you would want is to be stuck with a half built system because you didn't get something you thought wasn't necessary. Because sh*t can happen when you actually do the loop.

    Once college start, there is a good chance that your build will slow down. College is the very reason why my own builds/project takes forever, usually around a year time frame. And speaking of jobs, try getting one from Technology helpdesk, but they don't usually hire first semester freshmen, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    [05/30/2017] Update #8 - Near Completion So close yet to far away from being done. I originally wanted to have the radiator up top and keep the hard drive bay, but nothing worked as plan and I had to improvise. Gave up the 3.5in HDD for a 2.5 SSHD, Pump and SSD not remotely properly mounted but still works, PSU a bit too long and will need to get a new one, reservoir is in a tight fit between the bottom shroud and the mount, etc. But most importantly, no leaks. The girlfriend did help with the simple bends such as the two visible 90. Otherwise, the build is nearly done, will have final photos when the new PSU and some custom cable comes in. Sidenote I: The fluid is pastel blue, the distilled water was for the initial run to make sure there is no leaks. Sidenote II: Photos were taken on the OnePlus X, didn't have my DSLR at hand. Sorry

    None that I can remember. Every Fury Block I've seen/research are made for the reference PCB.
  21. itsmyjobtoknow
    If I remember correctly....EK didn't make any waterblock for custom PCB Fury cards. And if I also remember correctly, the Sapphire Nitro are custom PCB. If you do want EK WB for a Fury card, it has to have a reference PCB such as the Sapphire Tri-X, or any XFX Fury.

    Almost every new board supports M.2 or NVMe, except for the extreme budget boards. But for most consumers, there is no benefit for NVMe drives.
  23. itsmyjobtoknow
    Are you planning to upgrade the CPU/RAM/Motherboard? Because that is am AM4 board. Not an AM3+ board like the one you currently have. I mention your current board does not support M.2 and NVMe.
  24. itsmyjobtoknow
    850 Evo is a SATA AHCI based drive. And your motherboard does not remotely support M.2 drive or any NVMe drive, so a 2.5in SATA AHCI based SSD are your only choice.

    AMD Radeon Graphics Card doesn't require a Crossfire Bridge to enable Crossfire. It's been this way since the launch of the R9 290/x back in 2013. Everything is now done through the PCI-e interface.
