Replacing a ASUS Sabretooth z77
on September 9, 2018
Posted by: Scott
Verified Purchase:Yes
My MOBO and CPU were starting to show their age. Looked around for different configurations and decided to purchase this motherboard to replace my old one in a NZXT Phantom 630 case. Bought an i5 8600k CPU and a Corsair hydro H60 cooler to go with it.
This board does not have as many I/O usb slots in the back like my old board but makes up for it for the M.2 slots. Over all working as intended. RGB effects are a nice touch. The bios is easy to navigate. s

Keeps my CPU nice and cool
on September 9, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Replaced my mother board and CPU and was looking at getting simple liquid cooling system. This keeps my i5 8600k at 30c at full load. Easy to install. Be mindful that is designed to be an intake ( just like a car radiator) to be affective. I had to move my exhaust fan to another position to install this cooler. The hoses are not that long so the configuration is not as flexible in mid size to full size cases.

Bought this to replace an i 7 3770k
on September 9, 2018
Posted by: Scott
Verified Purchase:Yes
Updated my system with a new mother board and CPU. This processor is fast! My old processor was bottlenecking when I was gaming and I wanted to get the most out of my GPU and Dell 27" 144p 144hz gsync monitor. After upgrading my system, my frame rates are not as limited now. On par with the 7 series i7 7700k. Have a corsair hydro h60 on it and it hasn't been hotter than 30c while gaming. My i7 with its stock cooler and heat sink would average 60c.

Mechanical keyboard

I was looking for a keyboard for my desktop gaming setup and heard great reviews about this one. I got it on sale so it was not terribly expensive. The key customization is great. The keys are responsive. I have just started using mouse and keyboard for gaming so it takes a little getting use to. It is great for typing as well.

Not much to write more than it provides enough surface area for my mouse to move around. The bottom is pretty tacky so it does not move. We will see if it frays under heavy use.

So i want to put a i7 7700 in this motherboard but on other sites it says that this motherboard is only compatible with 8th gen processors, but on bestbuy it just says its compatible with i7 processors. So will it be compatible with and 7700?

For a 7 series CPU you will need a z270 motherboard. This is a z370 series board for 8th generation CPUs. So it will not be compatible.

I'm wondering if this cooler will work on a new Ryzen build? I heard that it is compatible with the AM4 Socket...?

It is compatible with both intel and AMD sockets. There are adapters that fit on the motherboard.

1. What is the web link on manual? 2. The pin at end of stick is not lighted. Is this normal? I heard elsewhere, it does not show any light.

There is definitely a light when it is being used.

What do I do with it? It came with no directions. Help us dumb people please!

Clip it around your wrist and clamp the metal clamp on your computer case while you are working on it.

Does anyone know for sure that this drive will allow me to move all of my iMovie files off my MacBook Pro to free up space. It seems too good to be true that it would be as easy as plugging in a USB stick, then transferring all the files onto the drive?

As long as you format it properly, yes.

Yes. You can go to their website and download the application to do so. You will have to use their USB to SATA adapter to make it work.

Delve deep into your favorite games with this Dell gaming monitor. Nvidia G-Sync technology minimizes stuttering and screen tearing for smooth graphics, and the adjustable display lets you customize your gaming setup for optimum comfort and visibility. Boasting a 27-inch screen, this Dell gaming monitor makes it easy to see minute details as you play.
 

How will this perform with a gtx 1060?

I have it paired with a EVGA SSC 6GB. You will hit above 60 frames on most games. Good example is I am hitting around 75 fps on gears of war 4 on Ultra.
