    480 mm intake radiator low/med/high fpi?

    Hi guys, I'm looking at picking up a second radiator for my 900D. I was wondering which do you think would be the best option. I currently have a XT45 480 from alphacool in the roof and will run push pull with Nf-F12's but I was wondering maybe getting a high/medium FPI radiator and running...

    When did you catch "the overclocking bug"?

    Hey so, I'm not sure if this topic has been brought up before. I'm just curious about when people first sort of got obsessed with overclocking. Was it right away or did it take some time? In weightlifting we always speak about getting bit by "the Iron bug" the first time you lift some heavy ass...

    4820k vs 4770k vs 3770k

    Hey there, my friend wants me to put a rig together for him his budget is roughly $4,000 AUD. He really took a fancy to this 2011 TRI SLI build. I'm a little hesitant recommending he go with 2011 because I thought the cost would be so much greater but it sort of works out cheaper? He really is...

    Earlier today my pump stopped pumping on me.

    So about 30 minutes ago I went into panic mode because my CPU core temps at idle were at about 60 degrees a quick prime 95 for about 2 seconds and they were over 100 degrees. So I knew shit was bad. I played around with the hosing elevating it a bit, checked the pump to make sure it was in...

    4320x2560 resolution gaming ~$1400+ budget

    I currently have/had (I sent it in for an RMA not sure if it'll be repaired, replaced or offered an upgrade) a reference GTX 780. My current funds are $1300 with a potential extra $100-$300 coming. I'll be purchasing around new years as that's when I get my $850 bonus. I was thinking about...

    EVGA's alternative blower fan. GTX 780

    http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=03G-P4-2780-KR Sorry if this is old news, but I hadn't really seen this before. It looks like just an old cooler from like the 600's or something. I think it's pretty cool... why did like no store carry them? I would think that considering they're...

    Alphacool waterblocks

    Is there any benefit to either of these designs or is it simply an aesthetics thing? What are your thoughts? I'll purchase a plain black back plate either way for which ever one. For example is the smaller waterblock going to weigh any less? Or will it add to the structure integrity etc?

    Turning 3/8 barb into a 1/2 barb

    The Maximus V Forumla has two 3/8 " barbs on them. I'd like to use 1/2 barbs with 3/8 tubes so would something like this be what I've looking for? Or if not this something similar?

    Sound card and Headphone combinations for multimedia ( Xonar Phoebus, D2X or the STX)

    I've read through the forums and I've gathered that two soundcards from Asus are awesome and either one is great. These are the D2X and the STX sound cards. I'm in the market of a new headset and so I thought as I make the jump to a nice high end head set I also purchase a sound card to do it...

    Well this can't be good. GTX 780 dying?

    I'm currently running my GTX 780 at stock and this was happening during games. WoW is crashing, when I'm just sitting at idle like black screens appear and during game play black fuz flashes on my screen, image becomes shoddy. What's your verdict? Defunct yeah?

    Alphacool Copper/black loop

    Hello friends. I've been saving my pennies and I nearly have enough saved up for the loop I've been talking about since I've gotten here back in June. Bellow is a link to the parts list I've used as a rough guide for pricing and just to give you all an idea of the sort of range I'm working with...

    Drop in price for a 2nd hand 780 now?

    Hey lads, I'm thinking about getting rid of my reference 780 (was going to wait to get a 2nd one before I water cooled them both in December) but the 780 TI review just looks crazy. If the cheapest reference 780 here in AUS is about $579 would $500 for a 4 month old 780 be decent? Effectively...

    Running out of USB 2.0 headers

    So I've used up all my USB 2.0 headers (all 2 of them) on my Maximus V Formula what could I do to add some more? Is something like this the only option? The reason I want another one is so I can plug my CPU cooler into a header. I have an Antec 920 Kuhler and it keeps bitching at me because as...
