Commented!

I guess my favourite item is the CPU cooler, because air coolers just look ... well.. not that great.

I know this post is really old but i think i found a suiting software for me. The ASUS motherboards come with Fan Xpert 3 (at least the one's i find interesting) with which i seem to be able to control cpu and case fans, no matter whether they're 3 or 4 pin fans. However my budget is different now due to some complications. I'm not sure how much it has changed or will change so i guess i'll have to come up with a new build or wait a little bit. Thanks everyone!

The first game i ever played was a Battle-Ship game for the Gameboy (I don't remember the name). The text was only in english so i didn't understand anything (i was like 5 years old). The first game i completely loved was Pokemon Yellow. I never understood why some of these boys were named teenager, as Tee is the german word for tea and Nager is the german word for gnawer. 6 year old me never understood why someone would gnaw on tea. The first pc game i ever played was (besides pinball for windows xp) probably some flash game in the browser. I think it was a mario-clone.

I guess i like the carbon look more than the metal look.

Yes, i'll get the 4790K and some other ram (maybe this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-memory-ax3u1866w8g10dmv ?). The problem about controlling the fans with software and a splitter would be, that the fans couldn't be controlled indiviudally, right? External fan controllers look really ugly in my opinion, and i know its not about the looks but about the performance, but of course i'd like to keep it good looking if possible plus using software that can set up profiles for the fans would spare me of always manually regulating the rpms. Edit: If i'd just plug all the fans into the motherboard, they'd just go full rpm, right? It would be louder but i just want to be sure, before i'm having problems with software and my pc burns out ^^ I'll have to wait untill i buy it because the GTX 970 isn't available in Germany yet (i think it will be in a few days, but it will probably be sold out pretty fast so i guess i'll have to wait a bit untill i can actually buy all the parts ^^ )

You mean the Fancontroller T-Balancer/bigNG? I was looking into the program "SpeedFan" and it seems to be able to monitor pretty much all the temperatures and rpms, even if it isn't that good-looking. I read many times that it takes some time to get into the program, but once you've understood it and set up your profiles it seems to be amazing. I'll try to get a look at it and see whether i like it. I also noticed that the fans included in the Phanteks Enthoo Pro are both 3pin fans (1 x 140mm in the back and 1 x 200mm in the front), so i'm not sure about how to control these (there are lots of topics in forums about that so i guess i'll find something). Edit: In this video about the Phanteks Enthoo Pro by Linus he talks about that fan-thingy. http://phanteks.com/Enthoo-Pro.html Phanteks says at their Website under: Overview -> Cooling - The PWM hub makes it possible to control all the connected fans (also 3-pin fans) with PWM function through 1 PWM connector and create better cable management. So... it makes 3-pin fans to 4-pin fans? Does this end up in programs like SpeedFan recognising all the fans that are plugged into the pwm hub as one fan, thus making it impossible to control the fans individually?

That is exactly the kind of program i'm looking for ^^ As far as i know there are enough programs to do these tasks individually, but having all of it available in one program would be really neat. As i said in one of the earlier posts, i was thinking about getting a NH-D15 first. I considered the H100i only because of the looks (yeah i know, they're not as important as performance but if it performance good AND looks good it's even better ^^) and Corsair Link, as this program seems to be able to do all of the above. However i've read loooots of complaints about Corsair Link about not being reliable, crushing often, having mistakes in the program, etc. I'm not really sure which one to get

i7-4790 = 269.99€ (346.42 USD) i7-4770 = 276.35€ (354.58 USD) i7-4770K= 294.85€ (378.32 USD) i7-4790K= 301.79€ (387.23 USD) The 4790 is cheaper than the 4770, i really don't get some of these prices ^^ You mean the 4790K is the 4770K, just with a higher stock clockspeed? Like the GTX 680 and GTX 770? Edit: Wow, pc stuff is quite expensive in germany About 50 USD more for the 4790K

Alright i'll look into it! That was exactly my thought. I guess i'll take the 4790K. It's just about 5$ more than the 4770K (does anyone even know why? ^^ ) There are so many programs for fan control, i've lost view in which can do what. I'd basically want to have a program with which i can see all the temperatures of my pc (cpu, gpu, ...), the speed of all my fans (case fans, cpu fan and/or pump, gpu fan) and set profiles like: when the gpu is xx °C hot, the fanspeed shall be set to xx rpm. I've read about so many different ways like external controllers (don't like them very much), bios, software etc. Any recommendations on that?

Hi guys! I'm planning to buy and build a pc, so i'd like to hear some recommendations because i'm still a newbie to pc stuff. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C8XG23 CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU-Cooler: Corsair H100i Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro(Wi-Fi ac) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Seagate Barracuda 3TB Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Power Supply: Corsair 760W Optical Drive: Asus BW-12B1ST I'll use it mainly for gaming, programming, 3d editing and of course normal tasks like watching videos and stuff. I have about 1500€ (=1924,65 US-Dollar), though saving some would be pretty nice as i want to uprade the pc later (better fans, more memory, maybe 2nd graphics card?) and i still don't have a monitor and a keyboard yet. I have to use WiFi because i don't have access to ethernet in my room. I don't know whether i want to buy a motherboard with wifi on it or an pci wireless networking card. I was thinking about getting a NH-D15 instead of the H100i, but the looks of aircoolers really annoy me plus Corsair Link seems to be pretty nice. As far is i understood it, i can control all the fans on the radiator, the pump and the fans on the video card, but i couldn't find out whether i can control the speed of the front and back fans of my case. (i think i read something, that only pwm-fans can be controlled) I don't really want to overclock, i'm not sure yet. Thanks for help in advance.

Congratulations! I found out about LinusTechTips by another YouTuber called Gopher. He recommended your channel about a year ago (i think). I've been watching it since then. My favourite videos are probably "Build-Guides", "As Fast As Possible" and "Unboxings". I'd love to see some videos about USB-Type C when it comes out (including motherboards, cases, etc. that support USB-Type C). My favourite food is "Käsespätzle", a food from Germany. It's some sort of noodle in cheese (i can't find a translation for it). I also like chili con carne with rice a lot.

I like the speakers in the front, because i watch a lot of videos while i'm travelling by train. The skin just looks awesome and quite a few of the other skins by dbrand look awesome too.

I personally think the ability to customize the phone in so many ways is amazing. The buttons on the back might be interesting as well, i accidently push mine by accident sometimes. Also the huge screen is nice to watch videos on YouTube.
