I've been looking at the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 since Tom's Hardware and Techradar both list it as one of the best Intel Z370's. Anandtech looks to tend toward ASUS and ASRock. Can ASUS or ASRock really beat Gigabyte; does it vary depending on model or are they just overall better?
Gamer's...
Lookin good cept for the case. I'm a fan of honeycomb and angles. Is this guy a quality case?? Is it possible to know without a comprehensive review for anandtech or somebody?
I've pretty much made up my mind for everything except for the case. Any quiet high quality cases anybody can recommend? Been looking at the Zalmans and BeQuiet!s
@VirtualLarry Just curious. I'm not a hardcore gamer and don't play those AAA resource hungry ones so I upgrade less often. Also keep in mind if you buy a super nice PSU it's got to last longer than 5 years, just look at the warranty on the top-of-the-line EVGA ones with 10 year warranties and...
Thx VirtualLarry. How about GPU with 1 hour of gaming a day? How about with no gaming at all? Comparable to the mobo? GPU is kinda like it's own mobo/chipset/cpu/fans all in one right?
Another question that's been nagging me... how many years should a home built computer last with premium components like Z370 mobo reputable video card etc with moderate usage 4-8 hours a day or so? Probably beats the socks off your average Dell/HP non business computer right?
Another question I conjured up - when placing old components in a new computer, like when reusing a video card, there's no danger of harming the new components is there? Only a short would be dangerous right? The old guy say video card isn't going to dump out dirty fluctuating voltages or...
@whm1974 Re the RAM I will probably be doing some gaming and have lots of tabs open with Chrome. Currently have 8 GB and can do both of those things. Games won't stop getting hungrier though as times goes on... What do you think I should get based on that information?
Hi I am finally getting around to replacing my 6 year old rig. I'm well rehearsed in hardware but still have some questions. No interest whatsoever in overclocking or SLI and just going to use my old GTX 970. Here goes:
If I initially buy 2x8 GB memory then later decide to add another 2x8...
Hi I run my own computer service and repair business and am looking for a comprehensive hardware diagnostic software solution. Most of the HPs and Dells I've seen have built in software as well as the new Macs too. I don't run into hardware issues very often so I'm not totally sure about the...
Turns out that side fan was a 200mm not a 120mm...
For the card though isn't it unhealthy to let it get above a certain temperature? I use speedfan and like to set up thresholds for warnings/beeps to be on the safe side.
