I have a gaming rig with an MPower mobo , ivy bridge i5 proc and a corsair 600 w ps and an h220 aio cooler . The system has run flawlessly for like 5 months . Last night it seized up in a game . After trying everything I could think of (and failing ) I ended up shutting it down from the ps shut...

I just picked up THIS . Not the best I know but the price was right . My question is about connectivity and please excuse my ignorance . It has the blue and white connection ports ( analog/digital ) ? as well as a HDMI port . Which do I use for best gaming performance ?? My gpu is a MSI GTX 770...

My new rig is almost exclusively for gaming . That being said I see no reason to get mor than 8 gigs of ram , and that being said I believe I should be able to get some respectable memory for say up to $150.00 usd . The components are as follows : 3770k Swiftech h220 MSI MPower Samsung 840 pro...

So Ive given up waiting for " The AIO That shall not be named " to become available and moved on to plan B . Im going to do a custom loop for the CPU only initially . I'm basing it on a XSPC RX 240 I think I can find a cpu block with out too much trouble and I like the looks of the tube...

I'm looking at different led strips for my case and have narrowed it down to three . The Bitfenix , Akasa , and the frozen cpu knock off option . I'd like the 30" version too run the entire bottom or top of the case + a little up or down the sides . I'm just wondering if anyone has any first...

My new rig is starting life with a Galaxy gtx 670which is a 4gig+ vram card . Can I match it with a standard vram card like THIS .

Im getting ready to order a H-100i and I'm having second thoughts after reading some of the reviews . There are many accounts of noise , buggy software , and less than desired performance . Later reviews claim that the updated firmware fixed two of the issues and playing with pump speed fixed...

Howdy all . So I'm ready to order parts for a much delayed build . Truth is I bought the case over a year ago . On that subject the case is a lian li full tower that I pulled the front hdd x 7 cage out of . I'll be painting the frame white and modding some spots for an h100 and other additional...

I need a quick 101 on the meaning and importance of timing and if one type of timing ie. 8 8 8 24 is more suited to one application to the exclusion of another . If this is too extensive a topic for a forum thread , a link to an article you approve of would be greatly appreciated . Ty in advance :o

Im buying a mobo for a build I'm starting . I'll be using a 3770k and likely 2 video cards ( eventually ) . This will be mostly for gaming but I want enough o.c. potential to keep the system up to par for some years . It will begin as an air rig but will go wet by next summer . In terms of...
