    Help me choose between Seasonic PSUs

    You guys are truly morons, posting non-sense even after the question has been withdrawn (to starve the trolls).

    DDR3 RAM for Z77

    I know the smart choice would probably be DIMMs without a heatsink but I'm thinking to go a little nuts with a 1866 MHz kit. :) The choice would be among these 3 brands, in order of preference. What do you guys think? - Crucial Ballistix Elite - Corsair Dominator Platinum - G.Skill RipJawsX...

    More SATA ports

    Hey guys. What options are there to add more SATA ports to a motherboard? I'm not interested in RAID, just more SATA ports, 2-4 would be enough. Speed or bootable not important but reliability is paramount. TY

    DDR3 RAM for Z77

    Hey guys, I'm trying to choose the right RAM for a new Z77 build (most probably an Asus). 1. Are there any disadvantages to populating all four slots of a board? I hear there might be stability issues when using four DIMMs (as opposed to only two DIMMs), is there any truth? 2. Is it better to...

    ASUS GTX680 DirectCU II TOP or EVGA GTX680 Classified

    I'm trying really hard to like the DirectCU II but taking up 3 slots? Dumping heat into the case? Come on! :(

    ASUS GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP GPU Review @ [H]

    Does the VGA hotwire from the Maximus V Extreme work with any 680 or only with certain cards like the Asus II Top? Will it work with EVGA Classified (instead of EVBot)? How about a 670 card?

    ASUS P8Z77-V Premium Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Why do you think that? A lot better? I wanted to get the Premium since I've first seen the specs. But while I'm waiting for it to become available in my area, I can't help wondering if there's something better (especially at this extravagant price). Would the Extreme V be a better candidate for...

    ASUS P8Z77-V Premium

    I'm looking at this board for a 24/7 multi-purpose system (gaming, multimedia, storage, office). Found another review here. I like the external connectivity (eSATA, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, unfortunately no PS/2) and its expandability (SATA ports, SLI, built-in sound, WiFi/Bluetooth & mSATA...

    ASUS GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP GPU Review @ [H]

    So, dumb question I guess, isn't a factory OCed card going to last less due to the OC (temperature, voltage)? Would it make sense to buy it for the higher binned chip and keep it within reference parameters to ensure an extended lifetime (24/7) and avoid degradation?

    Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler

    Hey Is the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler performing well in Silverstone cases with 90-degree rotated motherboards like RV02 or FT02 or TJ11? I'm wondering whether the cooler's exhaust might be fighting the vertical air-flow of the case. Can you mount the cooler in whatever position you need, maybe...

    New 23"-24" IPS Display

    If you watch the youtube videos the Asus ProArt PA246Q seems to be suffering from all kind of problems, glow and flickering included. The Prad review however rated it as Good, that is why I included it on the short list. On the other hand, youtube also paints a rather gloomy image for the NEC...
