One of my friends commissioned me to help him build his first real gaming rig. Since this was his first foray into PC gaming and wanted as much staying power with his rig as possible while he learned more about it. System name: Gatsu Specs: Intel i5 4670K @ 4 Ghz ASRock Z87 Extreme6 8GB...

Hey all. Just made a significant purchase for my rig that finally, in my opinion, made it worth posting up here. I named this machine "War and Peace." The reason for this is because everything that has happened with this computer since it's initial build has been an uphill battle... but when...

White HOF-edition GTX 770 Does this have TTL written all over it or what (apart from it not being a 780)?

How-do all? So I haven't been particularly active in the forums lately... apologies, as I have not really had much kit to work with and haven't felt as though I could adequately provide for the experience on here. I return with a possible issue I am having: My old mATX rig once again has life...

Ok, so I am attempting to map out at least the radiator selections for my rig I have presently. The PARTS will be VERY different by the time I go to execute this whole thing (and most likely some time will have passed), but the chassis will remain the same: a Corsair Graphite 600T in gunmetal...

Just decided to play around a bit with my GTX 560. Never overclocked it before since it's purchase back when it was brand new, and it's still on the stock cooler. I've only added Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 thermal paste and have the fan speed set at 50% manually. These scores look alright...

AMD Price Cuts These prices seem MUCH more reasonable for their present processor lineup, though I have to wonder what the point is of the 43xx series with the pricing being so damn close to the "six core" lineup. For that they may as well do away with the "quad core" and save on manufacturing...

I had a rig that contained a Z68 Maximus IV Gene Z/Gen3 and a 2600K. I was a nub when dabbling in overclocking and killed the processor (long story short). If the processor was killed from poor overclocking, does that typically mean the board is cooked as well, or would the board still be good...

http://www.rwlabs.com/newsitem.php?id=6581 It's just talk as far as I can tell at the moment, but I would LOVE it if this were an actual thing. mATX form factor PCs seem to have not gotten much love at all in the way of stylish yet practical chassis, and something like this would be most...

http://www.rwlabs.com/newsitem.php?id=6575 anyone seen this yet? Not really sure what to make of it since it's so soon after the release of the Titan, but an LE version would make a LOT of sense... but would only serve to reinforce the fact that the Titan is what the 680 SHOULD have been, and...

Hey gais. I'm looking to get a good, silent 200mm fan to replace the one that's in the front of my Graphite 600T, as it's a bit loud for my tastes (even at half speed). I was wondering what the popular opinion out there was of good, quiet 200mm fans that are either equipped with white LEDs or...

Originally, this motherboard (the MSi 970A-G46 if you didn't catch that bit) was purchased as an afterthought to provide a secondary low buck gaming rig for guests that wanted to come over and game but didn't feel like carting around their own rig. My girlfriend had a spare FX-4100 lying around...

http://www.rwlabs.com/newsitem.php?id=6542 This just got announced today. For those who didn't catch the news, it seems Noctua will be issuing out free upgrade brackets for individuals who own older CPU coolers to allow them to upgrade to the new LGA 1150 socket. HOWEVER: Spacing for 1150 is...

I just caught this on YouTube through my subscription to the Asus Facebook fan page... SO COOOOOOOOOL! http://youtu.be/Cz5muWnFMmg Ahead of time, here are the stats for this guy's rig: Components: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme ASUS GTX 660 SLI i5-3570k 12gb DDR3 Ram 200 Gb SSD COOLER MASTER Silent...

Hey I was wondering if anyone out there has seen an Enermax Ostrog GT chassis up close. Looks like an interesting case to try putting some water cooling in. I see that the top HDD cage is removable, but does anyone know about the bottom, or would that have to be drilled out? Also, does anyone...
