    Windows 10

    Agreed. Most of Windows 10 (and obviously 8 or 8.1) start menu changes are interface AIDS. Every Windows computer I use now I just put Classic Shell/Start on and install it through ninite It isn't an option for everyone (ie: work admin/group policies and what not) but if you're just using it on...

    That's why I said more info would be needed but it is hard to go wrong with the combo I'd posted. What connection speed is his intertubes? 50 mbps? 150? 200? 250?

    212 Evo is definitely a great value. Lags behind a lot of other coolers performance wise but if you're looking to get the most bang for your buck it is one of the best.

    Partly. Again, the bigger reason to delid the Sky Lake/Kaby Lake/etc chips is to remove the gap between the die and IHS that is created by the glue that holds the IHS on. You delid, get all of the remaining glue off, and since you're there might as well clean-up and replace Intel's thermal paste...

    Not that this really matters, but the issue has less to do with the thermal paste that Intel uses. It is the soldering vs. gluing the IHS to the CPU. The IHS is glued onto Ivy Bridge, Sky Lake, and Kaby Lake (and others I can't remember when they switched) and the glue creates just enough of a...

    a_skeleton_03 if it isn't too late, get rid of that piece of shit NZXT pump and get a Corsair H115i or something else. My NZXT x62 died yesterday after like 6 months or something. And the CAM software is trash. Fuck NZXT. Never ordering their shit again.

    I'm surprised the exalt market is already going nuts. Normally Exalts are like 1:40-45 chaos for a week and then they skyrocket to like 1:75-100. They're already at 50+.

    Post your system specs plz. I'd suggest this to start... Step 1) Run memtest to make sure the RAM hasn't crapped out on you. Step 2) If memtest passes, check your BIOS. Is it up-to-date? If not, update it. Step 3) Make sure your drivers are up to date. Reinstall chipset and SATA drivers if...
