Hello guys I recently bought a new computer I was concerned about some stuff and thought I would ask to get help before doing anything or hesitating and doing anything stupid, so I was going for a GTX 960 and i5 4460 a couple months ago but I thought I would just work a bit more and get a better pc, so I went for a GTX 1070 and i7 6700K but I have a few questions and I'm wondering about a few stuff, so I got a motherboard called G1.Sniper B7 (Not looking to overclock a lot that's why) so for the questions.
1. I got a Alpine 11 Pro Rev.2 as a CPU Cooler for my CPU and I was wondering if its enough or should I replace it with liquid cooling and mainly wondering if its good or bad.
2. It says dual channel does it mean I can have 4 of the same ram pieces? as in 4x8 to get 32 GB Ram? (Just wondering, might as well do it if it works)
3. I have a problem that keeps happening, if I put my computer to sleep and after I wake up I try to click on my mouse to turn it on nothing happens, what I do after is hold the power button so I restart the computer and after I restart it, there's no display and my mouse and keyboard do not turn on, what I do is turn it off and take the electricity out of the computer then put the fuse back in the power outlet and turn it on so it works(???? very weird) I was suspecting that it could be a problem in my motherboard.
If you've reached this far reading my post I am very much appreciative and thankful for your time and help :), hope you have a great day.

1- The Alpine 11 pro rev 2 is for 85TDP , i7-6700k is 91 TDP , that cooler is not good for it. get a better one .

2-Dual channel Activates by using pairs .. must put them in the right places too , check manual. if you put all 4 will be also dual channel.

3-Which power supply did you buy ?

1)Any suggestions? Or should I replace my cpu fan with liquid cooling because it gets getting up to 70-80C when gaming ._.

2) There's 4 DIMMs I have 2x8 (16 GB) should I get another 2x8 so I will have 4x8 (32 GB)?

3)Here's every exact part I have : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/MCjJf8 (from NewEgg 1552$ but where I live 2105$ :/ so I tried to choose some cheap stuff..)

1- you can get air cooler or liquid cooler depends on your budget tell me ho much you want to pay

2- no need to get another 2x8 , just make sure you put them in the right places to get dual channel . read the manual.

3- This power supply is not Haswel/skylake ready . try to Disable C6/C7 from bios ...

about 400$-500$ I will get after a couple weeks, ok so no more RAM and yes they are in dual channel, any suggestions for a good liquid cooler and should I change the power supply?
Here's a list of the liquid coolers I am able to purchase (Not sure if they're compatible with my case, didn't check) : http://pastebin.com/wmKVsf49
List of brands for power supplies : Corsair, Golden Tiger, Antec, SeaSonic, CoolerMaster
Case : Radiator Mount Locations, Front: 120/240mm, Rear: 120mm

If you insist on water cooling , get either Cirsair h100i v2 , or H80iV2

as for power supply , you are okay if you disable C7/C6 from bios I think .

if you want better powersupply Get RM550X or RM650X (only if you plan to add a secong 1070 later in SLI)

Ok so I should replace the CPU Fan with Corsair Hydro H100i V2 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler.
And disable C6/C7 in bios and this will solve all my problems? :eek: if so then I'm very grateful for your help and time and thank you very much :)
And I was also just wondering I just went in BIOS and in CPU settings I saw C6/7 State I set it to disabled, that's all?

Hello Samer1970 I was finally able to check, I left the computer on Sleep Mode for a long time, after I came back with C6/C7 State disabled it didn't work, I saw an option where it says "Turn on PC on mouse click" I enabled it, I will try it tonight and give you an answer tomorrow morning, hope it works, just replying to say that the solution didn't work :(
EDIT: It kind of worked? No screen display but my mouse and keyboard did turn on so that's pretty weird..
