    I got the low-profile ram. What exactly is a push-pull configuration? Why set it back to rated? The motherboard wants to run the ram at 1333 MHz, I set it to 1600 MHz. I didn't adjust timings, only clock speed.

    Just thought I'd update everyone on the status of this build. It took a while because of finals coming up, but I spent the day today. Total Build Time: 7 hours, 0 minutes. Total Software/Config Time: 2 hours, 0 minutes. I managed to overclock the 2500K to 4.3 GHz @ 1.2V, running stable...

    The HD5970 is about 12" long, 3-4" wide, and the PSU has a gajillion wires. The 600T is also, just quite plain sexy. :p Besides, we were speaking of future proofing. I might get watercooling in the future, more drives, or something like that. I need all the room I can get.

    I'm going to be using my old SATA-2 drives, so I don't need all the extra SATA connectors, though they might be useful at some point in the future. Dual NIC is also unncessary. I'll nab the vanilla -V. Also funny thing about that RAM, since I posted it here, it sold out. Newegg tends to do...

    Thank you to all of you for your advice! I changed out the motherboard, ram, grease, and cooler on the list. I personally prefer Cooler Master also, Forceman; I just figured with all the rave reviews the last Zalman got, that it would be a good CPU cooler. See what I meant when I said...

    Hey guys, time for another [H]ard|OCP inspired build! You guys helped me out in 2008, the system that I assembled then, can run Skyrim right now at the highest settings! But as always, no enthusiast is ever content with "just barely". We always need 16x MSAA & AF! I find that in general, I'm...

    Long Term Storage Solutions

    Hey fellow [H]'ers. I've been slowly expanding my collection of data collected over the years - gamesaves, documents, photos, videos, etc; and it's come to my attention that I've got no real long-term storage for most of this data. Granted, most of the 3TB collection of it is hosted on an...

    Samsung BX2431 - 24" LED Monitor

    Hey guys, I recently got myself one of these Samsung BX2431 panels, and I have to say that with the default settings, it looks 'haloish' at best. I need some advice on how to properly configure / color tune the monitor. What should I do? Hold up a photo to the screen and adjust it until the...

    Advice: Stacking an uneven mountain

    Hey guys, it's me again and I've got a bit of a pleasant problem on my hands. My 8800GTS recently gave up the ghost, and sent it in to be RMA'd, and they sent me back a GTX 260 Core 216. While the card was still in the process of being RMA'd, someone had gifted me a GTX 260, Core 216. I now...

    eVGA 8800GTS 640MB 78C Idle - HELP!

    Problem solved, at least temporarily. Removed cooler on card, cleaned out heatsink (dust caked on). 59C Idle now, within acceptable limits. Dust. Mankind's worst natural enemy.
