Hey OC3D, I am doing a personal paint job for the first time on one of my cases and was looking for some advice. I am planning on doing a white glossy car paint finish. My case is a Lian Li solid aluminum case. I have a sand blaster and 80mm grade sand. I havent actually sand blasted it yet...

Hey OC3D, I am building a new rig and wanted to try out one of the semi-new single loop cpu cooling units (corsar H50, antec KUHLER, etc.) I have only ever installed and used regular copper heatsinks. My understanding is they are almost identical as far as installation goes. I understand this...

Hey OC3D Community, I am building a new rig that is being put into a smaller form factor case. It is a mini tower that can handle an atx motherboard (Lian Li PC-A05N). I love the case but have yet to choose a mobo for it. I am looking at picking up eVGA's new p67 ftw mobo when it comes out in...

Hey OC3D, I am currently building my first SB build and need a little bit of help. I'll be sure to list my system specs and components for you guys. First off I am a photographer with gaming on the side. I use cpu heavy applications and so the more ghz i can push out of processors the better...

Hey Overclock 3D, I am back again with another build question. I am running an i5-2500k on an ASUS p67 pro. I currently have my old gtx 260s in sli on it and they are doing a decent jo, but I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the new gtx 560ti. Normally I would just go with EVGA and...

Hey Overclock3D, I am in a bit of a predicament. I am trying to build my first gaming rig right now. I was going to purchase an i5-2500k series with a sabertooth board from asus but seeing as the chipset has been recalled that is not such a, well viable option currently. Should I wait for them...
