    Okay, here is my new build. Please critique it.

    When I first looked at that PSU I thought, no way. Then I tried to see who made the PSU, which is a company called Super Flower. Might not sound impressive, but recently they have proven to be a company that challenges the top tier producers while keeping cost low. I normally get my PSU...

    Okay, here is my new build. Please critique it.

    If you want to keep your case there might be a solution. One reviewer noticed, dispite Gigabyte's information, that the case has holes for E-ATX. See here for more information. A GTX 580 is a bit long a maybe a bit too long, one person here removed the button cage to fit a GTX 580 into the case

    Okay, here is my new build. Please critique it.

    Depending on the person a case can be a long term or short term solution. For me I use my cases for quite a long time, actually I have only bought 3 cases the last 8 years. Two CoolerMaster Stacker and one Antec cabinet (can't remember the name and sold after a years use). So now I have only two...

    Okay, here is my new build. Please critique it.

    IF we are into the money-no-issue league, then this would be a very cool and good case for your built: Coolermaster COSMOS II Received many praises for its quality and innovations.

    New workstation built, i7 vs xeon e3

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Multithreaded programming using C++ and Qt4, LaTex, Pointcloud processing (Microsoft Kinect). 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Around 1000-1300. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S...

    i7 3930K LGA2011 vs i7 2700K LGA1155 vs waiting for Ivey Bridge?

    In my search for confirmation that 3930K was supposed to support VT-d, then I stumpled across this topic about 3930K replace Edit: Seems there is a bit confusion whether it is indeed possible or not

    i7 3930K LGA2011 vs i7 2700K LGA1155 vs waiting for Ivey Bridge?

    Seems Intel does provides some fairness given the price of Sandy Bridge E :) To bad they do not write it on the spec page.

    i7 3930K LGA2011 vs i7 2700K LGA1155 vs waiting for Ivey Bridge?

    A point to remember is that the -K processors lacks VT-d, which Q9450 have. So you will move to a processor with less virtualisations capabilities and performance.

    New workstation for programming

    I have taken the choice of motherboard up for revision. I had an earlier look at AsRock P67 Fatal1ty I am not sure if P67 is a step down from Z68, the biggest difference I see is the ability to use the internal graphics, not a deal-breaker for me. I am just wondering if companies have used the...

    New workstation for programming

    I made some additional research and it turns out that Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 is actually equipped with a realtech sound chip, what a let down. I was a bit unsure about bringing it up, but one more reason for choosing the maximus was that it gave an impression of being more stable. I do...

    New workstation for programming

    My choice of the motherboard comes from several reasons, although mediocre. First of all there is the onboard sound card, since I will be working in an environment with plenty of people and machines I will properly listen to a great deal of music. Second is design, I find many of Asus's...

    Spend more on cpu or mobo?

    The only reason to why VT-d has something to do with overclocking is due to the sale strategy Intel has. With Sandy Bridge Intel introduced very strict limitations on overclocking, but a very few models, the xxxx-K models, had unlocked multipliers. For reasons unknown these models had special...

    Spend more on cpu or mobo?

    Might a bit late posting this to the thread, but I give a shot anyway: I do not understand the talk about the 2500K and 2600K here, all xxxx-K CPU's from Intel are crippled regarding virtualization due to the lack of direct contact to the hardware (VT-d). Maybe it is to avoid companies to...

    Research Computer

    A bit off-topic: What the hell are you going to use the computer for with that insane spec. :D I am myself a master student at the University of Southern Denmark and our Vision department, which works with the newest cutting edge algorithms and have several EU founded projects do not have...
