G9x001

Well that list is ALL of the approved sticks of RAM.  Anything not on that list, you cant guarantee will work.  And if it does work, you don't know what kinds of problems it might, or might not have.

Nice build. 

Just finished my first build. Just want to know your impressions.
i7 6700k, Asus z170 Sabertooth Mark 1, GTX 1080 FE, CoolerMaster Mastercase Maker 5
Before

and After:
Hardwarelabs Black Ice Sr2 Xtreme+ 420 Multiport Radiator for more flexibility, Hardwarelabs 280 GTS Radiator, 2xD5 Pump for more smoother flow and better head pressure and EK water blocks.
Thank you very much to Coolermaster to send me the vertical GPU holder Sample.

 
 
 
 

A couple of pics of my final build. Nothing special on the specs but huge thanks to a bunch of people on the forum who answered all my stupid questions and multiple threads every time I got stuck. It's not perfect but I'm very happy with it and will be doing it again I am sure. 
 
No overclocks (yet).

That looks more like blue and red instead of red.
 
But it looks awesome. This proves to never go for one color. Multiple colors always look way nicer.
 
nice job
 
Also I love how you used the 24pin for both your gpu's, really a genius idea if you run more than 1 card

It does have an FPS cap, and with good reason. It is built on the same engine as Skyrim and here is what happens when you uncap skyrim:
 

Just a heads up the motherboard died last night. Will not post. It has just been sent to MSI for RMA. Not happy with it at all. And I've just purchased a Asus ROG Strix motherboard to get me going again. I will keep you up to date with the out come of the problem. After doing some research it seems that I'm not the only person that has had problems with this board. 

msi has been having a UEFI issue on memory configs from what TTL had described on the x99 titanium review (8:52). seems they'd bundled the board with a vengeance 3200 kit, only to find that is the only 3200 kit that would function at that speed.

That sucks to hear, but at least you have another board to get your system back up.  

This unfortunatly doesnt suprise me at all.
Msi cheaps out too much on their motherboards fatal components like vrm implementations.
But they also ask top dollar for it.
I personaly dont like Msi X99 boards atall.
 
Hopefully you will have better luck with the Asus X99 ROG Strix.
Well atleast you get an 8 "true" phase fully digital vrm implementation from IR.
Combined with IR3535M powerstages which are rated upto 60A, combined with 60A inductors, and 10K caps so that should be plenty decent for your 6900K.
 

Yes, there is a fps cap on Fallout 4. Its physics engines is tied to the fps. There is ways to disable the fps cap in Fallout 4, but beware the game will run faster depending on how high your fps is.

Yeah, Just go to setting tab. Then accounts. Be logged in to the desired account. And you should have the option to remove. If your giving it away I would just recommend wiping the pc. This can be done if you load pc settings. Updates recovery and select reset pc.

Hi.  
Just completed my ITX build. Specs are:
 
Phanteks Evolv Itx 
Asrock B85m-itx
Avexir Blitz 4gbx2
I7 4790
Seasonic P-760
Intel HD 4600(for now) 
 
Magicool mini pum+res combo
PETG tubings
Barrow fittings
Flow meter
Xspc EX240
Some Noctua Fans
Tt Riing 12cm Fans
 

I will be changing the colour of the build in the next few weeks to red to better match the motherboard. 

well... can you cover these single red leds? ATM it looks quite weird with this icy blue and the three red spots. I'd try sth orangy

i can unsterstand. is it rgb? then maybe look for a colour that matches best. as far as i can tell everything that's in there is black so it will work.
You could take a post it and make it black with an edding and stick it over the leds. (cut it to size)

It is an RGB board. Thats a good idea with the post it over the LED's.

well you were rocking a first gen i7 so i wouldnt call you 100% stupid.  

you just wasted your money on the carbon, RVE shits on it mate.

I really hope this isn't a gaming build. You could have had a better gaming system with an i7-6700k, a Z170 board, and an 850 EVO for a third of the price. Then instead of holding onto it for five years build a new system in 2.5 years to eclipse the 6700k / Z170 combo with a bigger SSD for another third of the price.

That depends. What are you doing with the PC? If the answer is "gaming", then yes, you are stupid. If it's for CS:GO, then please just take the rest of your money and send it to me. I'll PM you my Paypal information.

You might've been able to wait and see if they would do a price drop, but yeah I agree with @glitchmaster0001.
 
 

i still rock 2 x5650s in my rig still going strong there!  

too bad you bought the ram before consulting us... then i wouldve recommended you 32GB 

I was going to make a ram disk for BF4 and then use it for BF1 when it is released. MSI have very simple to use ram disk software. I have never used a ram disk before but I hope it works. It does look pretty easy on the MSI tutorial video.
