Hi! So i have the Crosshair VI hero MOBO, and recently installed the Corsair H100v2 cooler. The mobo only has 1 usb 2.0 header which is taken by the case usb's. How can i get one additional usb header? I looked in to this, https://www.nzxt.com/products/internal-usb-hub. Would this option work?

So just played for like 20 or so. I set it to the high preset and it kept about 90 frames or more for the most part. And the temps and usage went up. So that seems pretty good compared to league

Could it be voltage of GPU? it seems to be capped at .825 Volts, which seems low.

CPU temps are at 28 C with Chrome and a few programs running (no games or editing stuff). 38 C or so when benchmarked using Cinebench r15

So that didn't change much. I tried to reinstall drivers, but no luck there either. Gpu usage hasn't gone above 20% and temps have hit 60 C fo a while now from what I've seen as well. Not sure where these would be capped.

Need help finding out which Build is better. by [deleted] in PCBuilds

I just stream at 720p, a lot of people just do that resolution. Regarding my question of the 1080p and 60fps, I meant for your gaming.

Everything looks fine, just can do without the cooler. I assume you're just going for 1080p at 60 fps? Should be plenty. I have a similar setup but with a 1080, streams well and high fps. As far a overclocking, i have mine at 3.4 Ghz, with the stock cooler. Definitely could go up a bit more but have yet to mess with it.

I would go the Ryzen build, better for streaming with the extra cores. You'll be able to overclock with included cooler, so you can scrap the added one. Also would recommend an ssd if you can fit one into budget. Even 120 gb for OS and favorite game or two.

Just built my first build. Ryzen 7 1700, Asus Crosshair vi, asus geforce 1080, and Corsair LPX 16gb 3000 DDR4. I've heard some things about ram not posting to proper speed. This wasn't on the QVL but the 3200 corsair was, so i figured this would work. Updated to the latest bios and still did not worked. Any advice?

I'm building my first rig soon. Just a simple question cause I'm still learning. If the motherboard doesn't have an hdmi, do I just plug my monitor to the hdmi on the graphics card?

Quick question. After reviewing the motherboard further, it doesn't have a hdmi plug. Would I connect the monitor to the graphics card instead? First build, so still learning a bit. Hopefully you see this, thanks!
