Thanks! I think I'll go with the R6 - very helpful - probably wouldn't have found it without you!

What case would you recommend? Mid tower that holds 12 drives?
Hello, I currently have the the Cooler master CM690 II (mid tower) which comfortably holds about 8 3.5" drives and the cooler master Cosmos II which with a little modification comfortably holds about 16 3.5" drives. I'm looking for a case that isn't as tall as the CM Cosmos II but holds about 12 3.5...

Thanks. Hopefully someone will make an after market cooler that competes.

Anything quieter than a strix for air cooling a 2080 ti?
Hello,
I've installed the artic in the past and it was reasonably quiet but I don't think it was better than a strix. Is there anything better that is air cooled? I do not want to do liquid cooling.
Thanks.

Replacement screw for a scythe Ninja 4?
Hello, I had a Ninja 4 sitting around unused for about a year as I never got around to building my next PC. I went to build it this week and for the life of me, I can't find the second screw to attach the mounting bar that holds the unit in place. I've written to Scythe USA but haven't heard back ye...

Re: Scythe Ninja 5
I'm wondering if I could get similar quiet and cooling performance if I put 2 fans on my ninja 4. I'd just like my system as quiet as possible.

Re: freeing up PCI express lanes disabling bios

Re: Noctua 200mm on a cosmos II?
dremel tool (expanded version): if the 200mm fan is just a few mm's too big, rather than compressing/stressing the frame, use a dremel tool to shave/file/sand a mm or so off each side. impossible to get the issue is on the top and bottom in the front of the cosmos.

Re: Noctua 200mm on a cosmos II?
The frame is too large on it so you have to wedge it into the case and it will probably be at a slight angle since the frame makes it too large. Dremel tool :) I already used my hole saw to cut 120mm holes for 2 fans at the top of the 5.25" bays so I could cool the hard drives I'm putting there. I ...

Re: Noctua 200mm on a cosmos II?
For anyone wondering - I ordered the 200mm noctua. It doesn't really fit in the case. The holes don't line up with anything for mounting so you could glue it in place.

Hello,
I'm about to buy another Cosmos II case. In the front it has a http://www.cmstore-usa.com/200mm-led-fa ... packaging/ fan. I could use a noctua 140mm fan but I'd like to put in a quiet 200mm fan if possible.

I'm getting ready to build my next system. I've tried plenty of gigabyte and MSI boards in the past and found their quality control less than optimal. Anyone try asrock motherboards? Any opinion?

Hello, I've bought the evga in the past and it was quiet.

Any recommendation? Gigabyte, EVGA.... or ...
