Hi guys, I am back because I had just sold off my gaming system because I am moving to a new location which has much less room space but is closer to more work. I had a MSI Z77 Mpower which was imba and now I got a Bitfenix Prodigy, LGA 1155 i7 2600K (needs far too much volts to go from 4.2ghz...

So I was planning to upgrade my motherboard and cpu to get a bit more rendering power for when I do make my little youtube videos. I have a 2600K @ 4.6ghz 1.3v on a z77 Mpower. I was wondering should i upgrade to a 3930K since they are relatively cheap and the motherboard prices are still at a...

So i have been hunting a GTX 670 FTW 2GB card for a few days now and i can not find a new card at a decent price, i already have one and its pretty damn easy for me to sell at around 250USD. Now shall i spend the extra 369.99 USD for a new card or sell my card and get 2x GTX 760s? Benchmark...

I have built a few watercooling systems in the last 3 years since i started to invest time into watercooling. since then i still fail to see the extra cost in compression fittings, they look better to me but thats about it, i love using 1/2" OD barbs with 7/16" or 3/8" hoses (XSPC fittings only)...

Hey ladies and gents, My Gigabyte P67-UD4-B3 is no longer holding my 2600K at 5ghz stable with 1.4v. No matter how many more volts i chug into the cpu it just fails, i tested it in my friends UD4-B3 and it held stable for 48 hrs with 1.410v so I can safely say its not the cpu. I want to try...

Hey lovely people I am attempting to do a build I have seen a few times on the internet in pictures for myself, however i got 2 options on pumps and reservoir. Its either a Pump/Res combo which is the X20-DC-750 or reuse my Phobya Nickle 150ml and EK DCP 4.0. I will be using an EK XTX 360 &...

Okidoki ladies and gents, I am looking to upgrade my Corsair 400R to 550D, just so I can mod it. Now what i need to know is, what is the distance from the top of the motherboard to the room? And also how much air passes through the front? I will be moving my 360x120x64mm radiator to 550D and...

Is the pixel density of 2560x1600 much larger than 5760x1080? In other words triple 1080p monitor (23.6'') vs single large (30") monitor

Hi guys After finishing my gaming rig I got a bit of a surprise from my GF, she bought 6 Acer 1080p monitors. 3 for me and 3 for her. if you didn't know about my rig find it here: http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=605048. Now should I get a secondhand GTX 480 for $150USD or get a...

Hey Guys So i did a build recently and placed the images in the rig gallery, however there is something puzzling me. My GTX 480 with a Bitspower NGTX480 block is fed by a 240x35mm rad which comes the CPU fed by a 360x65mm rad. My GPU idles at around 37-40C but the load temps hit the 65+.. My...

Well my gaming rig is done and I am using the extra parts I had around. didn't bother with the MSI Z77-GD55, kept the gigabyte p67. Upped the CPU though. Specs: 2600K 4.6ghz @1.325V Gigabyte P67-UD4-B3 Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz GTX 480 GDDR5 1.5GB 850/1700/2000 3x160GB HDD. Diablotek...

Hi guys I noticed today that I have a few 30" monitors in my office and home, I was wondering, If i was to play a game at 5760x1080 on these monitors which are 7680x1600, will it be similarly as taxing on my GPU? I will be purchasing a 4GB GTX 680 and was thinking of pairing it with my 3x30"...

Ok, well my HTPC is done and its sitting in the living room hooked up to my network and a 56" LCD TV. Since it has a core i5 3470 driving it as a CPU with 8gb ram to boot, i wanted to run dirt and a few other light weight games on it. I have 2 more 56" TVs in my place and was wondering. which...

Hi guys Got my gaming rig up and running and feel its lacking something special. i got a 2600K stock clocks, 8gb 1600mhz, GTX 480 at stock undervolted to 0.98v. I have a spare RS240 rad and was planning to watercool the system, Now, I wonder if an EK XTX360 (360x120x64mm) and a XSPC RS240...

So I got a problem guys and its the strange since i have never had a problem with said manufacturer. I order a Gigabyte X79-UD5 a few weeks back for a office workstation to replace my i7 970 on a Gigabyte X58-UD3 but for some strange reason the damn board wont even go to bios with a 3930K BUT it...
