Cheers for this.

Do these guys ship/post to Australia? Tempted to get one if they do.

I know where you’re coming from. I had a hunch it could be the cable, but silly me keep trying to convince myself “nah it can’t be. Cables have never failed me before, so why now” I thought. Instead I started to think the problem could either be the drive dying itself despite what CrystalDisk...

Thank you so much for this! I’m an idiot. I’ve should’ve tried another cable before posting. Turns out it was indeed a bad cable. I’ve tested the drive with another cable and transferred/copy some large files. The drive doesn’t disappear anymore

One of my internal SATA hard drives ( 1TB Samsung 7200rpm ) keeps disappearing every time when I copy/transfer files to it. It also sometimes randomly disppears by itself too. In fact it actually just happened again as I was typing this.... Opening up disk management doesn't show the drive...

AnandTech https://www.anandtech.com/show/12425/marrying-vega-and-zen-the-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-review If there was any doubt that AMD holds the integrated graphics crown, when we compare the new Ryzen APUs against Intel's latest graphics solutions, there is a clear winner. For almost all the 1080p...

Thank you for the replies guys. Gives me confidence to contiune using my cooler when I do upgrade to the 8700K.

Yup, I’m currently using it with my 6700k. Right now it’s running at 4.6ghz 1.34v temps are 29-31 idle & 72 when fully loaded.

I can find a lot info about the Noctua NH-D15(S) in combination with the 8700k, but none with the Noctua NH-U14S. Do you guys think that my Noctua NH-U14S will be sufficiënt if I want to overclock the 8700k say to a modest 4.8ghz? Is the Noctua NH-U14S compatible with socket 1151?

A lot of incredible setups posted here. Mine is a little too simple and pales in comparison to the lot. :shy: Here's my humble setup.

Seeing really nice setups here. Mine pales in comparison and is very simple.

I was literally in the exact same position and asked the same question as you a few days ago here https://hardforum.com/threads/worth-upgrading-to-gtx-1080-ti.1946401/ I thought long and hard before that, and decided to take the plunge. Ended up purchasing the Asus GTX 1080 Ti ROG Strix. Could...

I bit the bullet and ended up getting the Asus GTX 1080 Ti ROG Strix. Absolutely incredible cooling. Even under heavy load during gaming it only went up to 71 this is after overclocking the card which sees its core clock speed hovering consistently between 2014mhz to 2074mhz in dozens of titles...
