This is something you should never do. It has the potential to damage your cpu, board and cause uneven mounting pressure which can lead to overheating. Most instructions recommend tightening the screws down about 1/4 turn at a time going in a diagonal pattern until you reach the stopping point.

All good!

It's going to be all new hardware as far as cpu, motherboard and hard drive. It has been my experience that update assistant doesn't work for that scenario. Basically going from a 7600k build to an i12600k build so need windows 11.

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 I'm helping a friend of mine upgrade their build to an i12600k/Z690 build remotely via phone/facetime. Their retail version of windows 10 is tied to their MS account, so there shouldn't be an issue switching to windows 11 for this build. My...

Not so much as a power difference as it’s the possibility that they are wired differently. I’ve run into similar issues before when someone replaced a bad power supply and tried to reuse the cables already in the computer (different manufacturer). Once I took a look at it and asked the question...

Did you by chance reuse the pci cables from the old PSU? They may look the same by they can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

There had been an issue with Win 10 earlier builds of the latest release that causes this exact same freezing issue. I had it until the last update, thought it was device issue, after the update it went away. Side note, it didn't effect everyone, but there are several posts on the net about it.

Seems like even when you click on the 360 link it pulls this one back up....guess I didn’t realize that at the time. Sorry!

Is this the EK AIO you were looking at? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842YK4L5/ref=emc_b_5_t

Not trying to knock Balmung in any way! But I would be hesitant to recommend it to anyone looking to transfer. A little history from someone who has been playing since 1.0...Balmung was one of the new servers from the 1st merger of servers (Fabul + Besaid) back when they removed/merged dead 1.0...

Kind of went all off point here...lol Again I don't mean any disrespect, but on more than one post you have pointed out that the Fuma beats the d-15 by ONE degree, but only by referencing one of the two tests. So saying "just" the price was the point, when you allude to thermals, acoustics and...

No disrespect meant, but you're cherry picking. 69 for the fuma vs 70 for the d-15 (non-s) on the aida64 oc but on the prime oc test the d-15 is 69 and the fuma is 70, so in that aspect I can't really say it beats the d-15, trades blows/ties at best. I'll agree it's better price-wise, but...

Not sure if it’s directly related to Firefox as I get that redirect from time to time on my iPhone using safari. I’m not signed up for any rewards program from anyone. Typically it happens on msn, espn and tweaktown.

I’d personally stay away from the evolv case. I own one it’s a great looking case and very good build quality but the air flow in this case for water cooling is very poor. There are several topics about the poor airflow performance of this case all over the internet if you want to do further...

For IPS you won't (at least right now) find anything with 1-2 ms response time, that's still TN territory still. I had https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-S2716DGR-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B0149QBOF0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1517789725&sr=8-3&keywords=dell+27+gaming+monitor+-+s2716dg which is a great TN...
