You'll be fine with a good 550W unit. The Cooler Master unit is good but there may be better options for the same price.

-Games -Settings -Resolution Those factors determine whether or not your CPU will become the limiting factor in a PC. And if it was, it's not a big deal anyway. -
Focus Plus Gold > Integra M > M12II Whoever told you to not purchase the M12II is smart; it’s based on an old group-regulated design. The Integra M is a DC-DC regulated unit with a LLC resonant convertor on the primary, which is already a significant step-up from the M12II, but it does suffer from having a bad protection chip. Then there’s the Focus Plus Gold which is better than both. If that’s within the parameters of your budget, then I highly suggest getting it.

You want a better unit for that sort of high-end PC. Something like the Corsair RM550x or BitFenix Whisper M would do nicely.

The ASUS Prime Z370-P has a poor VRM with only six phases and it's missing quite a few features. The Tomahawk is quite a bit better. If you're not restricted to those boards, then have a look at ASRock's Extreme4 and Fatal1ty K6 as well.

The Tomahawk is significantly better...

By that same reasoning, we should also ban tired or elderly people from driving since it negatively affects their ability to function behind a wheel. Not to mention that in a country like Australia, a 0.02% BAC limit is not going to work out at all. So because the world isn't forgiving and all, it's alright to have a stricter punishment for a first-time offence? As I've said before, people make mistakes and there's been obvious cases of a mistake in judgement before. There's also a big difference between just being over the limit and being a first-time offender as well and

But it's not. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this argument in the first place. The punishment for 0.05% is already harsh enough with a $1400 fine and 10 demerit points. If you want to take it a step further by suspending the licence, then I'm fine with that. Not the interlock. Having 0.02% as a hard limit would be rather easy to overcome with a glass of light beer. At that point, you might as well make the limit zero and many would not be happy with that. It is an arbitrary figure because otherwise the rest of the world would be enforcing it, yet they're not.

Completely different categories. The Aorus Gaming 7 is the best Z370 motherboard currently available. The Ultra Gaming is an entry-level motherboard with a mediocre VRM and terrible VRM cooling.

Domestic policy: "administrative decisions that are directly related to all issues and activity within a nation's borders". That includes traffic laws. Not hard to understand. This probably a roundabout at this point since we're both seemingly missing each other's points but this is still going to be mine; the punishment does not fit the crime. It's within the lower limits of the BAC and it also applies to first-time offenders. We're not talking repeat offenders or people with high BAC. If you want a punishment that doesn't put someone into debt then the government should be leasin

Asus Maximus Formula X Released?
HKZeroFive replied to Cruorzy's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Ah, yes... that's my mistake. I'm still going to say that the VRM on the Gigabyte board is better though. Would rather prioritise that than over the fancy watercooling. -

That motherboard has been out for quite a while. Though I would consider the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 to be a better buy at around the same price. -
Have i wasted money on this pre binned 8700k
HKZeroFive replied to Kendo's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Whether something is "worth it" is relative. I'd say the £110 is an early adopter tax.
