    New SFF build advice please

    Hope thread necro is ok when I'm the thread creator. I've got a problem with my system that I've finally narrowed down. It seems that when I plug in certain USB devices (hard drives and thumb drives mostly) I get an immediate 0xF4 blue screen. When I reboot from the blue screen I occasionally...

    I hope since this was my thread originally I can avoid any thread necromancy problems. If not let me know and I'll start another one. I've got two questions both related to this build. Sadly as I was purchasing parts for this I had to hold off on buying anything after getting the case, PSU...

    Another thing I just thought of: Will I need Thermal paste? If so what brand should I get? - Aerlock

    That's what I thought, but I didn't know enough about CAS latency vs RAM speed to be 100% positive. Thanks! - Aerlock

    So I go to start buying parts today and what do I see in Neweggs shell shocker? Cheap Crucial 16GB 1600 Ram. This is what I was planning to buy. Is the difference between CAS 8 and CAS 9 worth 30 bucks? If so would I be better to buy the 16GB kit or save a few bucks and buy two of these...

    I have no intention of overclocking. The K series CPU was just cheaper than the non K. Sounds like I have a decent build together. I'll buy the parts and put together a mini build log as I make progress. Thanks for all the help and guidance. - Aerlock

    So I had a couple things change in my plans over the weekend. My current system bit the dust on Friday and I got a budget increase so I can get most, if not all, of the parts in one round of buying. Taking the advice of you kind folks, I went and part hunted up an Intel based system. With the...

    I haven't looked at the Intel side of MiniITX much, what would be a good motherboard to match up with that i3? Taking a quick glance at NewEgg I see 5 different chipsets for the 1155 CPUs to pick from and I have no idea where to even start in differentiating them. I don't have any plans to...

    The efficiency is why I went with the modular version. That and only having to use the cables I need instead of leaving the unused ones hanging in the case as I had read that its a tight case once you put in a video card. I also expect to need every spare bit of space if I go for the H60 cooler...

    I've been a bit of an AMD fanboy ever since I switched over to them way back with their Barton CPUs so I went looking at them first. I've looked briefly at Intel for this build but it looked to me that equivalent performance was more expensive than the AMD CPU. Am I wrong? The 16GB instead of...

    Hey all, I'm new here after lurking for a while watching the NCASE M1 and trying to pick up as much info on the FT03-Mini as I can. I think I've put together a solid system here. The Video card, CPU cooler, Optical drive, and short cable set are all in round two of my buying which is due in a...
