Hello OC3D community! I'm not new to the forums but I haven't been very active here, in fact I haven't visited the forums in over a year so we might as well call it a fresh new start! A few things about me and what's been going on. (skip to the good part if not interested) There was a time...

Hey fellow overclockers! I'll be introducing my achievements of my E8400 and the original Rampage Extreme X48. To cut it short, I didn't think this CPU was capable of SO much. Not only did it run perfectly stable with an under voltage at stock clocks, it also overclocked like a champ! I can't...

Hey guys! You might have noticed a rather weird title. Well, it's because I've been messing about with some mouth watering hardware lately. To begin, I've been around hardware since 2011, going through bits and bobs but I've always felt there was a big part missing from my whole experience. A...

Introduction Cooling our sweet computer components has always been challenging. Keeping things cool and quiet has become a big task with so many high performance components filling our computers. I mean, who wouldn't want a huge CPU overclock with barely any noise humming out of the case while...

Hey lads! I'll introduce you to my wall PC/bench system. The story goes like this. In the past, when I only had my main system available for testing different hardware or software (different HDD's, GPU's, OS versions and so on), I was slowly getting tired of opening it up, switching everything...

Hey guys and girls! This summer is quite boring, and since I have some hardware laying around, I'm just oozing with ideas, what I can do with it, but there's not a lot of people, with whom I can jibber-jabber about all this crazy stuff. I think some people might still be interested how this...

Hello you guys! I haven't built new computers since my Simple as~ budget rig, and that was 2 months ago! Now I finally got another order from a friend, and he requested a shiny new gaming computer going up to 1100€! Now, with the release of Z87 chipset and new 7xx nvidia series graphics...

Hello SpecialTech! :wavey: I recently won a Bitfenix Prodigy on SpecialTech! And I decided, I have to make a project out of it! I don't know how it will turn out, but there's a huge current of ideas flowing in my head every time I think of the case! :wacko: So I have to do it!!! The hardware...

Hello OC3D! May I suggest something? I've been looking at reviews, and I had difficulty with GPU performance charts. The GPU models are mixed and you have to search for a specific model to see the performance of it, then you need to search for the other one to compare the two. It's even harder...

Hey fellas! So, a friend asked me to build a 600€ machine for gaming. My first thoughts were ''ohhh this ain't gonna be a good gaming system, he's gonna have to up the € to get a proper gaming rig''. But he requested me to give it all I got with this amount of money and build it for him. At...

Here's a computer I built for a good friend! It's going to be a hackintosh! Spec: i7 3770k cooled by the legendary Noctua NH-D14! Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H G.Skill RipJawsZ 8GB 2400MHz CL10 SAMSUNG 830 120GB SSD ATI Radeon HD 2600XT (From a MAC) PSU is 630W All in the Bitfenix Shinobi! It's not the...

Personal computer ~Never finished~ This is going to be kind of a build log of my system. I just have to put it back together when the Mobo comes. Specs: i7 2600k @ 4,5GHz 1.28v ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE MSI GTX570 TFIIIPE/OC G.Skill RipJawsX 2x4GB 1600MHz @ 2133MHz 9-11-10-28 [2x OCZ Vertex3 in...

[Lots more pics of the system on the following pages] I'm building a computer for my buddy, he wanted a cool system and asked me to build it for him. He had so many questions about what, where, how, and in the end we built a super nice system. We're still waiting for his GPU and white leds to...

Well, I wanted to start this, but I'm really shy, cuz I'm not very good in English nor talking in front of the camera! But my love for hardware and being on the net and sharing my thoughts with you people made me do this... Hope you 'like' it =] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1IQIQGshms Shitty...

I have a minor problem. I save Profiles in my BIOS (eg. 4.5GHz, 5GHz, 5,5GHz) Everything works good when I boot the first time (after CMOS). Then, when I want to change the profile from 4.5 to 5GHz the multiplier in the bios goes to 50, but in windows stays at 45! Same goes if I boot with 50x...
