    There was a lot of talk about dogecoin being the second litecoin but then tons of other alt coins flooded the market and drove the price down. Dogecoin wasn't innovative. The value was all artificial from reddit lol

    Will this CpU work in this board?

    Fair enough. You can always upgrade in the future. Also, The stock i3/5/7 cooler is decent. So if you ever run into heating issues its a cheap upgrade over the celeron / pentium coolers.

    I have a few questions for you gurus. I have a Silverstone FT02 case. It has 3x non-pwm 180mm fans on the bottom blowing air up. It included 1 PWM 120mm fan for exhaust. The first thing is my 1pwm fan seems to be broken and running at 100% all the time. Could be the mobo header but...

    RAMDISK?

    @Red Falcon, I assume its best to write to the ramdisk when transcoding music / videos. Or In that case would it be most beneficial to read and write to the disk?
