  1. If you plan on getting a 7700K, I'd get a Z270 board aswell. No point really in getting a K SKU and spending more money if you can't OC it with your board. Get an i7-7700 instead if you reallyy want Intel. Otherwise I'd get a Ryzen 5 1600 with an MSI B350 PC Mate motherboard and sell your current Intel while you can still get a decent price for it. That Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler won't be sufficient for the 7700K it gets hot af. WWhile the Ryzen 5 1600 has sufficient cooling with the Wraith Spire boxed cooler. Your board doesn't support 7000 Series CPU's out of the box. So you need to flash the BIOS to the lastest version with your 6000 series CPU, or else your system won't boot. Just my 2 cents.
  2. Nothing wrong with AIO coolers, tbh. I've had one for years and it worked great. But died due to its age. After that I got a 240mm version and it was a beast of a cooler. Still works fine in my mates PC, cuz I upgraded to custom loop. Wasn't grilling you at all. Your question just isn't clear.
  3. You just said that 90mm rads don't exist, which they really don't, yet you ask for recommendations for 90mm rad AIO's? So what is it that you're after?
  4. iOS11 Update

    Dead serious!! I was only helping out someone from what I've heard and read about. I even linked an url from not even a day old with the exact same problems I listed. How is that not helping? My friends have iPhones aswell and they claim the same thing I posted. How am I insulting people with trying to help? He posted this: Ofcourse I can say and see what's going on with the latest update. I'm not blind and deaf. If that's your opinion that I'm trying to help, so be it. Oh and BTW, I was an Apple customer not too long ago . Had an iPad I wasn't happy with anymore. Back to you .
  5. iOS11 Update

    Plenty of people reported having severe battery drainage with the IOS11 update. So just passing on the message. This was posted today, btw. http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/859489/iOS-11-Battery-Life-iPhone-Drain Just helping out someone that asked for it. Don't agree? I don't care. Could care less that you have an overpriced 7 Plus. I'm plenty happy with my half-the-price-of-an-iPhone Android flashship.
  6. iOS11 Update

    The only issue that new update has is the rapid battery drainage. I don't know if they fixed it, haven't heard anything about that they fixed. Don't have an IOS device so can't say for sure how severe the issue really is.
  7. Building a new pc

    Slightly over budget, but a much better setup for your budget. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LFGKwV I wouldn't get Shoiep's suggested motherboard, RAM and GPU. Mobo has 1 fan header, cpu fan header not included. And is Micro atx so not expandible if ever necessary. Ryzen benefits from highspeed RAM so DDR4-3000 and up is a much better choice. You'll get a significant performance boost if you get 3000MHz RAM. Also get the GTX1060 6GB, it's a lot more powerful than the GTX1050ti 4GB and will last you a lot longer. I've recently built a similar Ryzen PC for a friend and he loves it. Only difference is he has a Ryzen 5 1600, which isn't necessary, but a nice plus.
  8. OnePlus products

    I had my OnePlus 3 for over a year now. Best phone I ever had. Fast as hell and the Dashcharger charges it really fast.
  9. Meh, that's all relative, tbh. I recently bought an AMD RX Vega 64 and I only game on 1080p Ultra wide. But I bought it for the FreeSync option and because the RX400/500 series is way overpriced.
  10. Good luck finding one at a decent price nowadays.
  11. I find the EVGA GPU's the best, because of their great customer support and extended warranties of up to 10 years. You really can't go wrong with EVGA. I had an EVGA GTX1070 SC and it was a great card. So the SC2 or the FTW2 are both great choices. The version 2's are upgraded versions of the SC and FTW GPU's. They have that new ICX tech that EVGA developed inorder to have independant component cooling. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487320 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487321 I loved my SC it performed great and stayed quite cool aswell. Didn't go over 58°C under 100% load. Reason I sold it was because I wanted an AMD RX Vega GPU. Otherwise I still would've had it.
  12. Only because he got more points. Which is lame, imho!
  13. Do you only play CS:GO? If so, a TN panel would suffice, if not IPS panel is the way to go, tbh. I have one right now and the colours are amazing. TN panels tend to have a blue glow throughout the panel.
  14. Not sure, why people keep saying that: "Not gonna risk it, if it leaks, etc." An AIO watercoolers pump would most likely fail faster than that a custom loop would leak, if done right and not too hasty. Please refrain from telling yourself these lies that every custom loop would leak and have a huge risks along side. Coolant is none conducting, so even IF (huge if) your loop would leak it would only stain you GPU, not damage it or blow it up or whatever people think. Most fittings have double O-ring seals so there is minimal risk of fittings leaking.
  15. Mouse suggestions

    Recently bought a Swiftpoint Z mouse via kickstarter site. Great mouse and very unique.
  16. Yeah would be the best option. It's going to cost you an arm and leg anyways
  17. Honestly I'd wait for Threadripper or Coffee Lake if you want Intel. Also I'd get GTX1080Ti's instead of the Titan Xp's. Unless you're planning on heavy rendering and require a lot of CUDA cores, they're not worth it. The cost alone for filling that desk/case is going to be quite a lot. IF you're going to fill the entire desk with watercooling it could cost around $1600 for only watercooling parts from EKWB. Plus the cost of the desk/case aswell, which would likely be around $1500. I'd get something like this if I ever would build something like that. http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/1091/5618403727.jpg Plus you'll need quite a bit of practice to get it right. You could do something like this: http://s2.postimage.org/m0pwgvuop/red_h.jpg But with the reservoirs mounted on the right or left side, depending on where you're going to mount your mobo. You'll probably need to do some modding to cover up the holes from the mobo tray, on the one you're not using.
  18. I mainly went with custom loop for aesthetics and low temps while being completely silent. Aswell as OC'ing and still having cool temps in the hot summers. CPU never goes over 45°C and GPU never goes over 40°C. As other stated it does come at a hefty price. But well worth it, ihmo. If you do it correctly you get a minimum chance of leakage. I only had 2 minor leaks in the beginning because of faulty fittings. The fitting on my reservoir wouldn't seal completely on the right port, so switch it to the left instead. And the Ball valve had a loose tap (handle?), which I didn't replace, too much of a hassle to do. I held the ball valve tap (handle?) in a way it won't leak. Haven't had a leak since I built it in January.
  19. PC Upgrade

    I only got some thermal pads for mine. I applied them as I put a waterblock on mine. Yes there are 2 versions, 4GB and 8GB. Some games are nvidia optimized and others AMD. The RX580 performs better in DX12 than the GTX1060 6GB. As AMD is still releasing optimization drivers for their RX 400/500 series, they will only get better.
  20. PC Upgrade

    The 10-series cards with ACX3.0 have one of the best cooling ever. Just cuz 1 guy mistreated his GPU and overclocked it to shit, doesn't mean any other card will do the same. It wasn't a Thermal backing plate, just some extra thermal pads to add to the GPU, to keep the VRM's from overheating, which weren't really necessary if you had a good airflow and custom fanprofile set up. It was blown way out of proportion. I have an EVGA GTX1070 SC and I didn't even had the thermal pad mod before and my card never went over 58°C with the aircooler, nor did the VRM's and such ever overheat. The RX 580 8GB is actually a better choice, as it performs better in most recent games. But seeing as they're not available anywhere, he has no other option than to go with a GTX1060 6GB.
  21. PC Upgrade

    Do you plan on keeping some parts for your new build? That way you can save money which can go towards better parts. You could re-use your case, PSU, HDD and that's about it. So you'd only need a new CPU, mobo, RAM, SSD and GPU. The only great AMD socket is the recent AM4 Ryzen. All the others are too old and too shitty for a CPU intensive and unoptimized game. The parts you're choosing is not really an upgrade, more like a side-grade. As you're getting another FM2 system, which is barely an upgrade. If you get these parts you would be able to run PUBG on High to Ultra settings. As I don't own the game, so I have no idea how unoptimized it is. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NVh9d6
  22. I have the Corsair Sabre RGB Optical. Great mouse and not that expensive.
  23. No, you won't regret it. :-P
  24. You should get the R5 1600. Which is a 6-core. But even the 1500x is still great, which is a Hyperthreaded quad core. I'd advice you to get the 1600, tho. They're almost the same price as the 7600K, but with a lot better performance. So you'd be set for a long time if you went with the build that I posted before.
  25. Yes, the new Ryzen CPU's are better value price/performance wise. Where have you been these past couple of weeks? Intel's most expensive consumer CPU, the i7-6950X is beaten by a Ryzen R7 1800x at almost everything but single core performance. But AMD has a lot better multi-core performance, which could come in handy in the near future, as a lot of games coule benefit from this. It's been announced weeks ago. That's why Intel lowered their prices for their Kaby Lake CPU's. As they got scared that AMD would stomp em off their throne. So, imho, AMD is the way to go now. As the i5-7600K doesn't even have hyperthreading. Which AMD does. That's why the 1600 has 6-cores and 12 threads and can be overclocked on every chipset, but the A chipset. Which Intel doesn't have, you can only overclock on a Z or X chipset. @frosty Anyways, not saying you should follow my advice. But AMD Ryzen is quite the beast and the better "futureproof" choice. Edit: Also I've been suggesting Ryzen builds, these past couple of weeks, for people (on other forums) with budgets from €700 all the way up to €2000, they all went with my advice and got the build I suggested and don't regret choosing it at all. They say their systems perform amazing, while gaming and most with gaming and even streaming at the same time.
