    Aftermarket cooler for i7 in Antec 1200 with Side Fan

    So I am having temperature problems with my i7 950 in my Antec 1200 case. The stock heatsink doesn't handle the high temperatures in my room too well after a few hours of uptime; no air conditioning on a hot day means ambient runs about 80 degrees with my cpu getting up to 60c idling in...

    Problem Installing Windows 7 on a DH67CFB3 system

    Figured it out. It wanted a CD Drive plugged in. NO idea why but once I did plug one in everything worked.

    Problem Installing Windows 7 on a DH67CFB3 system

    So I just built an ITX gaming system using an DH67CFB3 motherboard. Booting went fine and Windows 7 loaded from a USB. When it searched for an HDD, however, it says that it cannot find the appropriate drivers. Since I don't have an optical drive in this build I copied the Motherboard Install...

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    PSUs are pretty good at that, so I am not too worried. I have no idea what the heat will be on this, so I have no way of saying it will be like mine. Even if it is we can always get an aftermarket cooler later. Anyways. To put this topic to rest I am going to let you all know we bought the...

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    Do you think inside such a small case the processor should be fine for long gaming sessions with the stock cooler? I know my i7 reaches up to 60c playing Skyrim in my Antec 1200 case.

    Do you think ram with heatsinks will fit inside an ITX case?

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    Thanks Amzee. That looks just perfect. I'd probably ditch the 500GB drive for now and get the Gskill Gaming ram but otherwise that is exactly what we want. Anyone else feel free to chime in - I don't know much about that motherboard.

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    I talked it over with my friend and I tried to get them to choose an ITX build. That would be my first choice, but they were harping on wanting more ram - the Laptop had 12GB; no idea how fast it is but that didn't matter to them since they don't know much about ram speeds. If I went down to...

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming, Photoshop (or other intensive programs), Overclocking, Web browsing, strictly HTPC/Playback, etc. (If you have multiple things you want to do with the system, make sure you rank them from most important to least important). Gaming (Skyrim, BF3...

    Up or down vote on the 2209WA for gaming and graphics work

    Are there any alternatives that are just as good and in a similar price range that operate at 1080p? I do 1080p work sometimes so having a monitor that can handle that resolution is very important.

    5970 or 295GTX for gamer / 3D animator

    Glad to know that Hardforum can still take any topic and turn it into a pissing contest. GotNoRice: My old watercooling setup sprung a nice leak in the tubing thanks to some mishandling on my part. I learned over the course of my two-year watercooling experiment that I am not enough of a...

    Up or down vote on the 2209WA for gaming and graphics work

    I am looking into a triple-monitor setup for gaming and graphics work. I want low-lag for my FPS and accurate color quality for my print-sensitive film and photoshop work. Does the 2209WA fit the bill? If not, what are the other choices?

    5970 or 295GTX for gamer / 3D animator

    My old 8800gtx sli system just went down and I need to put together a new build. This rig will be both for high-end gaming as well as my main 3D design rig for doing character design and animation in Maya and Mudbox. I've heard that a lot of people are saying that the 5970 comes out on...
