theres no difference in the cables.

that doesn't stop some companies from charging more for a label with a 6 instead of a 3 though.

The suggestion to replace my RAM seems rather superfluous, as the nh-c14 would seem to have enough clearance for the Dominator and the Ripjaw and Mushkin seem to have heatspreaders and be equally as high, so I presume you're just trying to get the economy going again by encouraging me to spend mone...

variable, as its not a true sphere.

lol, was lost as to why you'd bring it up for a minute.

im kinda disappointed with the whole thing really, so nope. not alone.

ditch the dominators for some ripjaws or mushkin, then get a noctua nh-c14.

should work fine, i just fired it up to try and it detected everything fine. havent played with my p-states yet though, and probably wont, to be honest.

figured i'd post this, as the venomous-x doesnt get a lot of love. [product page] i think its a pretty interesting product by thermalright. theyve taken their venomous-x rt, and switched to two ~600rpm FDB fans from the single ~1300 rpm FDB fan that ship with the standard version. the fin spacing on...

other than whats been mentioned, the lian li pc-a04 looks like it might be worth considering.

lian li also has a few htpc cases, but they're very very pricey.

forgot to post this last week when i saw it. click through for product page. ive seen similar adapters in the past for usb2.0 headers. it makes sense for them to start showing up now, with the front panel usb cabling situation thats been happening to all the manufacturers. http://www.lian-li.com/v2/...

i might have to give it a try then... very interesting.

well i took a quick peek about the web, and the Lian Li PC-9F can be had on amazon uk for a fair bit of cash. honestly it seems like your cheapest option might be to get it from germany. it seems like it'd save a solid £25-30 over amazon's prices. get the case you want, because thats what you end up...

ddr3 memory wont need more cooling than incidental airflow unless you're running it at obscene speeds. any ram with heat spreaders is enough(or even ram without, since youre using a down draft cooler). the vengeance ram is ridiculously overkill. that ax850 might be enough to power three of your syst...

(8x) 8 inch zip ties.

through the fan holes, through the fins, through the second fans holes. slid a second zip tie over the exposed tail to secure it.

ohohoho, thats pretty good news.

the 2600k is fairly modern. just saying.

raid isnt for backups, its for fault tolerance. its intended to protect you from drive failure. nothing more.
*and with that, im done here*

and thank you, since i was looking at that same motherboard/cpu and wondering if i'd be able to underclock.

i wonder though, could you grab some quick power numbers without the gt240?

corsair a50.

nothing thermaltake makes should be seriously considered, and you really dont need a cooler with two fans.

excellent cable management, and a well thought out build. very clean, very nice.

btw, i noticed that the noctua is mounted as an intake. did you test it as both exhaust and intake?

knida wondering about flipping my case fan around and giving it a try.

if you dont want to have a fan on your cpu cooler... and youre not going to reuse the 2 fans that come with the silver arrow... why not just use the hr-02? about the video card: there is a 6850 on the forums thats being cooled by an arctic cooling accelero s1... but iirc it required a little undervo...

you can plug 3pin fans directly into 4pin fan headers. they're keyed, so you can only plug them in one way, no mistakes will be made. What happens when you plug a 3 pin non-PWM fan into a 4 pin header intended for a PWM fan? Generally speaking, it depends of the board firmware: most MSI and ASUS ma...

i love the looks of this. for what it is, its managed to stay very subtle and understated. that psu looks like its a short 1u unit, in which case FSP makes a 120w psu that looks like it'd fit. combine that with a fan swap, and maybe a sheet of the 3 layer acoustipack and we'll be getting a bit close...

....Scythe Mugen-2.... look like they're going to block some of my RAM slots.... blowing towards the top exhaust fan on the P183. Not sure if I can do that with either of these two?...How come they're all designed like this now? a fine choice. the fan is excellent, as is the cooler itself. the muge...

I figure on only being able to use one fan (only one CPU fan header on this MB that I can see) that cooler should come with a little adapter to allow you to plug both fans into the same motherboard header. I think the fan is 3-pin and the header is 4-pin. What kinds of problems would that present? ...

ah. i just saw that deal via email. awesome deal eh?

i hope software companies take note and use more opencl to make use of all this fp compute power.

llano mini-itx that can blaze through rendering without needing a dedicated gpu... oh man.

great setup with the eheim and the two resorators. very nice.

hows that xfx psu treating you noisewise? iirc it got excellent marks from johnnyguru.

thanks for the update though.

i was amazed at your power numbers, until i went back reread how many drives you had installed xD

still an excellent project.

Does the HD3000/4200/4250/NV7025 properly support 24p? does your hdtv support it? probably, since youre interested, right? within CCC, with a 1920x1080 screen connected, select the 23Hz option, NOT 24Hz. 23Hz is amd's abbreviation for 23.976. this should work with the integrated 4200 series and up....
