So I plan to document this entire extensive project, I wont be starting it for two or three weeks, but I've been doing ample research, and will use this as a venue for questions and sharing. As stated in the title this is a full custom project with an Asus "ROG" Theme for a Coolermaster Cosmos...

Friend/Roommate has the NZXT phantom, and I love the case, airflow is insane, and I've seen it in practice. Worked in it, and know I would be happy with it. Tired of fighting with cable management in my coolermaster cosmos, and airflow just isn't what I would like it to be. Not without hard...

can't really find much on this topic. I own noctuas and they are quality. however Apaches are higher rated on paper in every category and lower on sound. is there truth to this? has anyone ever owned both fans? Apaches are also 10$ cheaper. so even if they are on par that's a big difference...

Located: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998087&cm_re=kama_bay-_-11-998-087-_-Product The few reviews I found were stellar. And it has an input for a mic, though I couldnt find reviews on the mic quality, would probably be great for a gaming headset. Anyone used one...

As topic states. I've always been curious. Anyone have any idea?

My tower is the cooler master cosmos 1000 I never leave the door as it prevents plenty of perfect air flow into the case. The front area of my tower is PERFECT for a fan, or two.. and doesnt have one, nor the mounting for one. Short of modding the area, or permanently mounting a fan in a way...

To put it simply I need to purchase 5 120mm fans. I have noctua's and love them, but I cannot afford to purchase 5 right now. 25$ each, plus sales tax, plus shipping.. you get the idea. I dont like LED fans, as plain as possible. Quiet, Moves a ton of air, and as cheap as possible. so far...

I've read that the card should idle around 40c, and can handle up to 85c under load as per manufacturer specs. Not sure if this is 100% true as it's just a table I found on some forums. That being said, the card WAS a complete heater in my system. As per my post in the air cooling section. I...

My cooler master cosmos 1000 has the door mod for a fan there. It has a bottom mounted fan, two top mounted fans, and a back mounted fan. All of these are 120mm I recently ordered a low profile 120mm since my noctua nh-d14 will not allow me to have a full sized door mounted fan. The set up I...

So I have the asus crosshair IV, which effectively has no actual mini-pci-e or pci-e x1 slots. What I've read implies that the slots will automatically detect the amount of connectors in the slot. So a mini pci-e card in a full sized slot will still operate and function correctly. What I'm...

As topic states http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103923&Tpk=amd%20975%20black%20edition OR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103913&cm_re=amd_1100t-_-19-103-913-_-Product Now I've actually already purchased the first of the two.. as my...

So I've been doing plenty of reading, no clue if anyone else here plays Rift or has tried it. I just picked up an asus 2gb radeon 6950 not that long ago.. and frankly i'm EXTREMELY dissapointed. I know the game Rift supposedly is not optimized, and lots of people have fps issues. But I'm...

So here's a link to all the info on my card first off.. I know it's another review site but it has the most comprehensive information so please excuse that: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/asus_hd6950_2gb_directcu_ii_review,5.html That being said you will notice a couple of things, this...

So been working with my roommate on his computer. He's had nothing but issues, he had similar issues with his prior motherboard though I forget the model. His current model is a EVGA E756 Micro SLI x58 board. That being said he's running 12 gigs of patriot ddr3. Motherboard only recognizes 4...

Okay ladies and gents.. I've had a board for awhile, and I'm replacing it on the horizon, but I already have 8 gigs of Ram in it, and it's still chugging fine. Current processor in the board is in my sig. I've done plenty of Google searching, and I'm assuming since it's an older board not...
