    ** BLACK FRIDAY / CYBER MONDAY STARTS AROUND 9AM THURSDAY!! **

    I was waiting for the AK Racing V2 premium chair in black to be in the sale, sadly a lot of the other chairs were but not that model. Don't suppose there's anything in the pipeline for that model chair?

    MSI Z97 Gaming 7

    It was during a trawl of google looking for any info i could on that motherboard and any issues with ram and coolers that i read the comment regarding the slots. From memory op stated that the manual quoted slot 2 & 4 and he was querying that as it seemed weird. He got a couple of replys...

    MSI Z97 Gaming 7

    Cheers toon I have just decided on HyperX fury ram 2x8gb and the manual states this board uses slots 2 & 4 for paired memory not the more obvious 1 & 3, so leaving slot 1 free is not an issue. I think the dark rock pro 3 might have been an issue but the dark rock 3 is a tad smaller and the...

    MSI Z97 Gaming 7

    Cheers for that. Just done a bit of googling and someone has said that the be quiet dark rock 3 fits with 1mm to spare....tight but fits. But that is with the memory in slots 2 and 4 which is the norm apparently on this board. The one thing he didn't say was what type of memory he's using :(...

    MSI Z97 Gaming 7

    Hi folks Just about to press the buy now button on this motherboard but i have a couple of queries I'm hoping users of said board may be able to help with? 1. In a review it stated the heatsinks are quite close to the cpu and may interfere with a 3rd party cooler. I had been contemplating...

    Air cooler v AIO water cooler

    Cheers for the responses guys always good to get different points of view. One thing to mention is the aesthetics, this is not an issue for me as i have purchased a fractal design Define R5 with no side window so whatever way i go it won't be seen. I have purchased a second case fan for the...

    Air cooler v AIO water cooler

    I get it guys and answers are most appreciated. I'm buying an air cooler, still not 100% decided but I'm considered the dark rock 3. Great reviews big minus is it's hard to install however as I'm building from scratch in a new case i can fit the board to the cooler rather than the conventional...

    Air cooler v AIO water cooler

    I currently have Corsaid H60 and always found it to be quiet and an impressive cooler. The only downside is the radiator clogs up really quickly dust so needs a regular clean out. However my minds made up and it's an air cooler for me this time. However I think i will have to decide on which...

    Air cooler v AIO water cooler

    Cheers for that. My new case is the define R5 and the model i have chosen is windowless so again this steers me towards an air cooler as you're never going to see it.

    Air cooler v AIO water cooler

    I like the look of the be quiet dark rock pro 3 & the Noctua Just to clarify if I'm not overclocking and an air cooler and an AIO system will keep things cool enough however is an air cooler a better solution for noise (or silence)

    So air coolers are quieter than the water cooler? If so what are the current top of the range & recommended models?

    One other thing u asked if 8gb was enough On current PC i have 12gb but i'm not sure i am using it all. I have a monitor running 2560x1440 but thats running from the gpu right, so not sure if i'd need 16gb?

    Key Component upgrade

    The cpu and motherboard you recommended look good and get good reviews, just wondering however as the define R5 case im getting is windowless is there potential for getting a less flashy mb as it's not going to be seen, in other words is there price premium for having flashy yellow led lighting...
