All right, so with EK blocks having so many problems and pretty much screwing up my next build I'm not sure where to go to complete my next project. Anyone have any recommendations on a company that sells full kits for motherboards that not only function well, but look good. I would prefer black...

Say What...? OK, I was trying to wait for a while before getting into this build, but I got a package in the post today and was not able to keep myself at bay anymore. The little guy that pushed me over the edge: Compared to the other two packages that have been sitting at home for the...

Xsessive? Maybe. Worth it? Hell yes! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, kiddies of all ages, shapes, sizes and species I present for your viewing pleasure a little something I put together from the inspiration, insight, and intelligence I gathered through the forums here at Overclock3D and...

So I thought I would ask... What happened to TJ Harlow? The guy used to make some of the sexiest builds around, but he just kind of disappeared. Anyone know?

OK! so going to start building another computer, but... not sure what to do about the motherboard. It's going to mostly be a 3D graphics rendering/editing/creation machine. I do feel like sticking with Intel in my builds, but Bulldozer has a ton of hype surrounding it. Either way I am waiting...

Ok so I went a little overboard with this thing, no it's not all top end stuff, but it turned out really nice, works great, and looks even better. Still have a bunch of work ahead of me, but hope to get this log and the rig done by the end of the week. Will be putting a pretty good log of this...

so when I'm folding, my computer randomly reboots, not often every couple of days or so. Not sure what is causing it. Not getting any error messages, Temps are fine. Even running stress tests like prime and furmark reveal nothing so far. anyone have any ideas. It does it only when I'm folding...

OK, so I got a Gigabyte GTX 480. The only reason I picked this card up is because it cost me next to nothing. I already have a MSI GTX 460 Hawk which I really like, I know they are both last generation and the 480 is, well... something to be desired. Yes it works and puts a beating to my poor...

Thought I would put some pics up of my little corner of the world. It's not bad, and can be quite comfy. New chair is win. And here we go! Had to stand on the bed... room is a bit small And yes that is real granite... its what I do. Sometimes I take work home with me New monitor I got...

how do i get the handy dandy sig/stat keeper. I wanna be showin off my progress to. for some reason my brain will not work this late at night

OK. so I'm thinking about doing a water cooling setup on my system. watched the video that tom did on the G1 Assassin build and thought.... "why not?" need some real WC for this hot ass system. So I currently have a i7 920 with a H50, I know it sux but I like to see all the goodies and a noctua...

Had a 5670 in my rig then jumped ship and got a great 460. Ok, so after I installed my 460, the drivers and everything else, my on-board audio quit working. really strange to me. and i have read of it happening to other people. oh yeah, mobo is Sabertooth x58. So I threw my old Fatal1ty Pro in...

OK, so i tried to hook up two hard drives to the SATA 6gb on the motherboard and run them in RAID 0. Ugh, this sucked. Seemed slower and twitchy. Set the RAID 0 onto the Intel chip set and works fine. I have heard that the Marvell controller is kind of .... not good. Is there anything I can do...

so my northbridge temp is at 70 at idle and goes up to 90+ under load. not sure if i should worry about it, or just stick a fan on it and call it good. what do you think?

Hi all, new to the forums, but thought I would try to introduce myself. Big fan of computers and the stuff you can do to them and with them. Too bad they usually cost so much to build. Recently made a new build myself and OC3D has helped in that regard. Did tons of research, reading and watching...
