Looks like a great compact cooler however I don't think it would handle the overclock. Compared to the Noctua its a few DB louder and hotter. Thanks for the feedback! -Brian

Thanks for the feedback guys. I just learned that I can not run dual Samsung 950s and dual 980Tis on this board (or many boards for that matter). So for now I am going to just use a single 980Ti and dual 950s, which will all run at full speed. Unfortunately a custom water loop is beyond...

My potential system (not yet purchased)(specs updated): Windows 10 64-BIT Corsair 600Q Geforce GTX 980Ti (single card, SLI won't run at full speed on this board) Samsung 950 Pro 512MB X 2 Intel 6700K (goal is 4.5 - 4.8GHZ) Kingston HyperX Fury Black 32GB DDR4-2666 MSI Z170A GAMING M9...

I need to find some DDR4 ram that is compatible with my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. The clearance height is 32mm or less. I'm looking for some DDR4 RAM that is available in speeds of 2666 (or more), 32GB (4 X 8), and tight timings (15 preferably). Does this RAM exist? After much searching I...

I spoke to MSI. They were, how do I put this, less than knowledgeable. They said that I could use both cards natively however I would lose two of the SATA ports by doing so. With 6 ports I don't see this being an issue. Like I said they did not seem overly knowledgeable on the...

I was actually thinking about a single 980ti for now so I think that's the route I will go. I do use 32MB on some occasions when dealing with several 42MB Sony A7R II files so I think I'll stick to that for now. I'm stuck on the storage though. I'm going to use a plug in drive for all my...

Here's the dual SSDs I want to use: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-950-512GB-PCIe-NVMe/dp/B01639694M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450849606&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+950+pro I don't know enough about the MOBO or SSDs to interpret the specs. Does it look like I won't be able to use both? If so...

I updated the build. I was going to buy an Be Quiet 850 Gold PS. Several calculators put me below 800 watts at full load. Think I should upgrade then? A platinum 1K fully modular PS is a lot of $$$$. -Brian

Funny you brought up the PS as I was just deciding on what one to buy. I was going to get a BeQuiet 850 Gold Plus. This was based over multiple calculators showing I would be below 800 watts. They did not, however, factor in overclocking. Should I pony up for a 1000 watt platinum then...

Hi Guys, I am very familiar with HT and home audio systems however when it comes to the world of computer audio I am a complete noob. The amount of choices/options is overwhelming. Hopefully if I list my goals you guys can help me out. My computer is a new build (Intel 477K, GTX 780, Asus...

When I install the Corsair H100i does anyone know if I need to buy two additional 120mm fans to attach to the Corsair? Or are the fans that come w/ the corsair all I need? I'm a little confused on how this works. Thanks, -Brian
