    Review Request?

    Hey, I'd like to see Tom do a review of the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV. I haven't seen him do a mATX case in quite a while, and I think he'll have plenty of cool stuff to talk about in regards to this one.

    Pump and Res

    I am looking to do a water cooling loop for a build with a 4770k and a 770 in a CM storm trooper. I want to keep options open for more powerful CPUs (5960x?) and SLI GPUs (dual GM104). I'd think 1x240(280?)+1x360mm radiators would be the configuration, otherwise dual 240s (possibly 280+240) for...

    Upgrading old Alienware Laptop

    My friend has an old M14x which he is to be replacing with a desktop, and I decided I would take it into possession because why not. Anyway, It has some old SB 2 core and a GTX 555m, pretty measly either way. I was wondering if there was any way I could get my hands on an Ivy bridge M14x...

    SSD for new build

    Build for Movies and Light Gaming

    I am considering doing a build for watching movies (replacing the aging DVD player) and some light gaming. Also, I want to use it for storage of photos, videos, and general backups. Budget would be around about 1350USD, but going over that would not be too much of a problem. I don't need...

    7870 Hawk Water cooling

    I was thinking to get a 7870 hawk instead of a 7950 Vapor-x, mainly because I don't really want to spend on a 7950, they are a bit too pricey. But, because I am spending less on the GPU that OCs like a beast, why not add it to a water loop. There's the card with the cooler removed, but with...

    Tubing Diameter and Reservoir recommendations/advice

    I need some advice regarding the tubing diameter, I am going to set up a CPU only loop in a HAF X, which I am planning to upgrade in the future to include SLI/CF GPUs. Should I go with 7/16 inch or 1/2 inch ID tubing, I suppose there might be some restriction caused by the tubes, but I guess...
