This PC is still running and playing my games . Now I am going to build a new gaming rig with my 13 year old son for him. Of course he has picked out this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/6Wv6Mp/magnificent-intel-gamingstreaming-build But I am thinking more like this one for pricing: https://pcpa...

Well I didn't stick with the old 2008 monitor for long. About two weeks after my I got my computer built (so December 2015) I bought a Dell U3415W , hotbar icons are small in the game I still play the most but it is an awesome monitor. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/210-adtr?c=us&l=...

Well I lost internet Saturday night and didn't get it back until Monday. I ended up taking the mobo out and then putting the fan on, then the mobo back in. I will remember the tape for next time although one side is so close to the case edge I still might have had problems. I will post some pictures...

Have it mounted now but trying to get the fan on. I need some tiny hands !

Hi, I bought one of these and am building today. Here is my build thread http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=68824 The short version: A Skylake Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz on a Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 in a Fortress FT05 case with the Kotetsu. I have the cpu and the Ko...

Well I opened the case last night and there is a hdd frame but it is optional and having it kind of blocks some air flow. So the more I think about it maybe a secondary SSD would be the best. Also I really don't even need to add that today, my old machine is staying in the house, I don't need to mov...

Well everything is purchased ! I just have to think about that Black drive. I am not going to open it just yet, might return it tomorrow. I did go with the big SSD, going to have my OS and steam library and other games on there. The regular hard drive will be for pictures, video, music and various f...

I bought the Black version of the first ram you linked.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz (PC4-19200) C14 Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2400C14)

CMK16GX4M2A2400C14 instead of the Red CMK16GX4M2A2400C14R

So how bad is it? I haven't opened it yet.
I could get the blue one online.

I ordered the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory in black.

I was going to buy the blue featured here

But it was out of stock when I went to the store, could have ordered it online but I let myself get talked into buying this one.
He claimed it was only 1dba louder than the blue.

Went to Microcenter , did some buying. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cwXvrH PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $329.99) CPU Cooler: Scythe Kotetsu 79.0 CFM CPU Cooler (Purchased For $47.62) Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII...

EVGA isn't a quiet card choice. MSI Gaming is a better alternative. http://www.microcenter.com/endeca/CompareV2.aspx?returnUrl=L3NlYXJjaC9zZWFyY2hfcmVzdWx0cy5hc3B4P049NDI5NDk2NjkzNyA0Mjk0OTY0NTQ5IDQyOTQ5NDY0NzkmcGFnZT0x Stats looks the best on this one of the four: GTX 970 GAMING 100ME http://www.m...

OK Pretty sure I will go with a 970 It is a little cheaper at Amazon but I am going to go to my local microcenter and hopefully come home with an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC GAMING Video Card w/ ACX 2.0 Silent Cooling 04G-P4-3975-KR Maybe they do price matching. Might leave the ram and ssd decisions un...

Well made some commitments Ordered the EVGA Supernova 750 P2 and the Scythe Kotetsu from Amazon (used the link from here) Also have the Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz and Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 in my wish list at Microcenter and may go pick them up at lunch tomorrow. Micro center had the Int...

The FT05 is one of the best air cooling cases imo, but its not the quietest, you do have to work with it, specially the fans, the AP181 biggest strength are their specs 180mmx32mm makes it a massive fan, a single fan is capable of cooling a complete setup, thus how the TJ08-E was design, but at the...

Yes on the D&D PnP :D I am going to stick with 16GB ram, I have that now, useless or not, would feel weird going backwards. I was not sure about the speed, G Skill had so many types so this RAM discussion is very helpful. My case just arrived and also many Black Friday emails, need to see what kind ...

Welcome to SPCR. Three big questions that will help tune the build: - is this solely for gaming or are there other demanding applications (and what are they)? - what's your monitor resolution? - what's on your game list? The only taxing thing should be gaming. Pretty much just web surfing outside o...

Hi, I love the website, found it looking for info on silent builds. I am currently gaming with a pretty quiet Fortress 2 case that I built in 2011. Upgraded the video card 2 years ago but now I plan to retire this and let my wife and kids minecraft on it. I have ordered a Fortress 5 case but everyth...
