I have a ball valve on the inlet port of the res but I may regret not using a 3 way on the outlet port instead. I ended up just buying some flex tubing and an extra compression fitting because I ended up having to order a few other things anyway.

I was planning to make use of a removable line to use for filling and draining my loop (fill through one port of my multi-port top on the res and then connect the line to the ball valve at the bottom of the reservoir when it's time to drain). Obviously you want to use good tubing that won't...

I ended up pulling the trigger yesterday afternoon. Used the calculator over at seasonic's website out of curiosity and doesn't look like I'll be pulling more than around 500 watts, if even that. Normally I stick to the 700ish watt range as mentioned in the original post but I found evga's...

I'm just looking for some reassurance on a power supply for my coffee lake build. - 8700k (will be overclocked) - Asus Maximus X Hero - EVGA GTX1080 FTW (again will be overclocked) - 2 HDDs and a DVDRW drive - custom loop with D5 pump, probably 4-6 fans I've always a stuck to ~700 watt...

Still waiting on the 8700k (should be here tomorrow) but got my motherboard in. Went with the Maximus X Hero as planned. Trying to make a judgement call on video cards between a 1070 and 1080. Will be gaming at most likely 1440p once I add a second monitor - I just don't see myself needing or...

Now that the order has changed from backorder to verification status I don't think it will show me the original time but I believe I ordered just after midnight PST on the 5th. I stayed up half the night to see if they'd be available right at midnight.

I just received email confirmation from Newegg that my 8700k should ship in the next 24 hrs. Here's hoping some of you are receiving similar emails

Every conversation with Newegg support that I have read goes a little bit differently. Some excessively vague and some very detailed. When I called 2 days ago, the conversation was somewhere in between. Was told they were expecting only small batches intermittently between now and next year and...

Is it the general consensus that z370 motherboard prices will drop a little or are they probably at least close to what they would be down the line? Really tempted to go ahead with getting a Maximus X but if the price goes down a bit by the time my backorder gets fulfilled then that would be...

Oh gotcha. I hope somehow they score another shipment sooner than 2 weeks. Or worse, the end of the month or later.. Actually, just saw this https://segmentnext.com/2017/10/06/intel-i7-8700k-backorders-october/ Who knows if it's accurate. Sorry if that's been posted already - didn't take a...

Anyone else that backordered get an email from Newegg?

If more are supposed to be available roughly around the 18th at some retailers, let's hope it's a reasonable number of units or else we may still be waiting. If my backorder isn't filled by towards the end of the month it's going to be hard not to just buy a 7700k or ryzen and get this build going.

Well, when I was contemplating Kaby Lake (I think in an earlier post I incorrectly said Skylake) a few months back I had been looking at the z270 Maximus Hero, so the z370 variety of that board was going to be a likely contender. I'm putting more money into this build than I have done with any...

Same. One on backorder and then set amazon to auto-notify in case they get it first. I suppose it's all well and good since motherboards are scarce too but I'm dying to get this build going. Oh well.
