After I watched Tom's CKC build it gave me a few ideas for how I'd build my own water cooling loop in my Cosmos II. Here's the part where I need help. Initialy I was planning on a 240 rad in the roof but saw that Tom had some how managed to fit a 360 rad in there. Obviously the roof supports 3...

When I first built my rig I had an i7 950 cooled with a CM Hyper 212+ The settings I've been using to date are 200x20 to get 4GHz at 1.35V with load line calibration enabled. That's the extent of my OCing knowledge. I just finished installing a corsair H70 because the temps were a little...

I'm looking at getting some corsair sp fans for my first liquid cooling setup in my rig. Corsair specificaly because I've had lots of good experiences with them. Brand loyalty and all. The reason I haven't just gone out and bought them already is this is Corsair's first shot at fans. it...

I heard about this from Tom on his latest sub video. Read the FAQ and as soon as it mentioned it's purpose I installed it and began running the program. My question is that when I run the program I high pitched whinning noise emanates from my computer. I know it's this program because when I...

My question is what are the benefits of an HTPC or just running media through my PC to a TV, like movies.

I've been looking around for an accessory to fit in one of my optical bays that could only read the temperature from in loop temp sensor. I have no interest in a fan controller as my case already has sufficient fan controller connectors built in. Does a temperature reader exist or are they all...

I was browsing the online store of my local computer shop and under graphics cards there was a section besides GeForce and Radeon called Quadro. It peaked my interest. I did some searching on google and it didn't take long for me to find out that the cards are ment for rendering in photoshop...

Yesterday I got a new 120GB Patriot Wildfire SSD to replace my 64GB SSD that had gotten full. I moved my Windows 7 OS onto the new SSd and planned on playing around with ubuntu on the old one. Well something went wrong in the process of me doing that. The old 64GB SSD no longer appears in the...

I've picked out everything else, I've just hit a dead end with the three things mentioned in the title. The coolant and tubing mostly because I don't want UV green, just normal (or is there a difference if there's no UV light?). I can't find just normal stuff. As for the fittings, I found some...

Hey guys, I've been doing some shopping around for a new TV for an HTPC setup. Other than movies it will also be used for console games and whatever else I feel like I guess. Doing some reading on the internet it seems plasma tv's I am to avoid. My big question is are there actually any non...

Until now I've been using my PC souly for gaming. Now I'm thinking of also making it an HTPC. My mom's got plans to turn the room my computer's in into our families entertainment room. When she mentioned this I immediately wanted to use my PC as an HTPC as well. The reason I'm posting here is...

After I post the information of my OC I have a question at the end. MB: Asus X58 Sabertooth CPU: i7 950 CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212plus Base Clock: 163 Multiplier: 24 (max) Max temperature: 82 So this is on air cooling and a very modest after market cooler as well. Does this OC...

For some reason (this has happened twice now) when I'm on my computer I'll hear a beep sound. The first time it took me a second to realize what it was. I have 3 drives in my computer; a 60GB SSD, a 450GB HDD and a 2TB HDD. After I hear this beep all drives except my 450GB HDD disappears from...

A friend of mine gave me a USB that they said was no longer being registered on their computer and asked for my help to fix it. For anyone that may be inclined to help, yes I am well aware that fixing the drive may mean formating it and as a result losing all the data. Here's all the...

I've been looking at my current set up and everything seems pretty solid except my audio. I've been running on just 1 speaker and a subwoofer as the other speaker died a few weeks ago and my head set has been wrecked and is no longer functional in an way. With christmas coming around the corner...
