New member here from Silicon Valley. Planning to build a new system,
Asus Prime Z370-A
16GB DDR4 - may add more later
3 displays : DVI-D
Display port
HDMI 1.4b to 4K TV

probably select i7-8086K instead pf the i9 because i9 will need water cooling, correct?

Hello to everyone!

I'm an aging gamer who fondly remembers how painful it was to install hardware by setting board jumpers to define an IRQ only to find out that your mouse expansion card was apparently using that one... Don't get me started on himem.sys and the ballet of cutting corners to make sure all the drivers you needed to have got loaded properly.

I've enjoyed gaming since my PC jr. back in 1985 (King's Quest if you need to know), and have been a devotee of the "magic box" ever since. I've gone into IT and largely work in the administration side now, though from time to time I enjoy some time in the data center racking equipment.

I largely enjoy casual games as my reflexes and hand/eye coordination have never been able to support any serious FPS games. Starcraft style strategy games, GTA style adventure games, and Half-Life 3 if ever it comes out. I am typically happy so sacrifice frames to the framerate gods in lieu of having beautiful graphics running with v-sync enabled. 30fps has always been fine my me.

I'm not a forum person, never have been, so I will be the akward one trolling around. I'm here because I'm having some issues with my new ASUS motherboard, and I'm hoping to drop some posts and have you all help me out.

Hello, New here. Plan to build new PC. If I select the i9-7900X at $900,
This will work with LGA2066 socket motherboard.
Will I need extra heat sink with water cooling?

Hi
Rufinoman here from Buenos Aires and I've just finished a new gaming build on a Ryzen 2600X, Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VII WiFi and an Asus ROG Strix RX580 8Gb OC.
Could someone please let me know how to add my PC specs in the user profile please? All the options seems to be either absent or disabled.
Many thanks.

Edit
Found the system spec boxes.

Hello peeps!
I'm new and I made my very first custom PC a year ago. I'm just a casual gamer, but also a hardware enthusiast.
I like shiny things (call me a mainstream).

See you in there. 🙂
