    Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 NVME Support

    Hi guys, so I have a really good offer on a Micron 2200 256gb NVME gen 3 x4 but I am still using a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard which supports nvme but I can find any info on when it supports Gen 3. Anyone have any info?

    XMP or Dual Channel

    Hi guys, so I'm using two different 8gb ram sticks (16 gb total both being 1600 MHz) in my desktop. This obviously implies I can't use XMP Profile.

    Question Overclocking my i5-4690K

    The main one I'm looking at right now is evetech. This will take you to their cpu coolers: https://www.evetech.co.za/components/cpu-coolers-65.aspx Once I am back at work the are a few other vendors our business uses that I will also look at. Thank you very much once again.

    Question Overclocking my i5-4690K

    I would not even have thought of that but like I said I haven't worked with cpu coolers much, I would definitely like to take advantage of the larger clearance the 750D offers. I have made sure that is no other software running while I play games. I will try using msi afterburner as suggested.

    Question Overclocking my i5-4690K

    Thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind. I am very glad to hear that I will be able to get some more from my cpu but also mad at myself for not doing it sooner.

    Question Overclocking my i5-4690K

    The H412R was just one of the ones I was looking at, if you have better options in the same price range, suggestions would be much appreciated. I assumed it was the cpu because when I use HRMonitor while playing some games (normally large map games like gta 5 and ghost recon wildlands, both of...
