    V351 heat issues with new GPU

    With the arrival of a new GPU (see my signature) things are starting to heat up in my V351. At the moment, one hdd is mounted in the 5.25 bays on a piece of foam, the other in the top slot in the HDD rack. I've already done all the cable work, so now there is almost nothing to obstruct...

    BF3, am I in a world of trouble?

    Just realized that the proposed 3 slot passive cooler won't fit my system right now. Lighting fried my network interface controller (left the rest untouched) and so I now have a separate pci card in there, that sits in the third slot if I recall correctly. So, perhaps a two slot actively...

    BF3, am I in a world of trouble?

    Thanks for the replies all, this is great info. My main reason for going with a passive GPU is that I actually yanked the 4770 months ago because I live in a one-room appartment and my system is on 24/7. I found that the 4770 was audible even in idle speed and the only reason so far for me to...

    BF3, am I in a world of trouble?

    My current system is about 2 years old. As you can see in my sig my proc is an amd phenom 2 x3 720. At the moment underclocked. My GPU will probably need replacing at the very least. But just for the sake of argument: What if I install BF3 on my current system, with a 1680 x 1050 resolution...

    XFX 4770 annoying fan revving

    Hi all, Due to a slight problem with getting LaTeX to work under Linux I had to go back to win7 (64 bit) which I'm dualbooting on the system in my signature. I leave my computer on 27/7 even though it's in the same room I sleep in. With Linux, no problem at all. With windows however, my...

    Lian Li V351 silencing, need your advice

    An h50 cooler, I imagine that it makes just about as much noise as my Zipang 2? A very slow moving fan on top of a huge stack of cooling fins. I hardly ever really stress the thing and when using speedfan it frequently shuts down like all the fans in my case save the one on the 4770. I opened...

    Why not? Because you need to enclose everything if you choose that path?

    Lian Li V351 silencing, need your advice

    HI all, Getting an SSD is a bit overkill at the moment (or at least, it will kill my budget) but is a nice idea I didn't think of yet. The drive is noisy indeed, should have gotten a different one as I don't game that much or do things that need such great speed. It's a bit overkill...

    LIAN LI PC-V352 !!! New and improved

    Somehow I don't like the look of the front of the case. It's to busy. I'd actually prefer the look of the 350, without those holes drilled in, but couldn't get one so settled for the 351. Now I see this new version, I'm glad I have a 351. They are great cases but for their volume they can...

    Lian Li V351 silencing, need your advice

    I'm looking to silence my desktop pc as it's running 24/7 in the same room I sleep in. Most noise seems to come from the HDD and the GPU, the rest is quite silent already but could be even better. I'm thinking of changing the fan in my PSU and maybe swap the casefans for noctuas. As I'm using...

    MSI 785GM-E65, HDMI on board and GPU

    Hi guys, I've got a small question. My motherboard has a HDMI connector on it and I have a GPU installed. Now I'm wondering is the HDMI port is still usable or will it be automaticalle shut down just like a regular monitor connector on a mobo? I could easily test it myself, but I don't...

    Looking for small formfactor keyboard

    Hi all, The last few days I've noticed a problem with my right shoulder. Because my old model M is so damn big my mouse is far off to the side. This couses some problems for the deltoid muscles which are now aching. (First signs of RSI... not good) Because a "spacesaver" version of the...

    Lian Li V351 shocking....

    Nope *smacks forehead* or at least not yet, need to mod the wallsocket for that one, it's in the pipeline though. Temporarily using a grounded extension cord. The shocks are gone, thanks!
