    New Case from Lian Li - the PC-9F

    Here is mine. For better airflow I use a harddrive cage from another Lian Li chassis. (Specs in my signature) Not final wiring yet, just for a testrun 3x 120mm Scythe fans and on top a Lian Li 140mm The final build with GTX580, sorry for the perspective [Images are linked from my...

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    I was tempted to upgrade because Sandy Bridge clearly is such a great chip, but on second thought I realize that when gaming on 1920x1200, the gain in speed is very small compared to my Core I7. Sandy Bridge draws less power though, but OTH my graphics cards are very power hungry, so my system...

    i7-970 or SB?

    I would go for Sandybridge and make my little sister happy with the 930. No doubt your grandmother would like that decision too ;)

    New Case from Lian Li - the PC-9F

    Yes, there are front filters. The enclosed fans were not particularly effective, so I replaced mine with Scythe fans. The all-metal case feels a bit thin, but works fine, isolating noise well. As I only use 2 harddrives, I removed the large harddrive cage with a smaller one, placed just in front...

    Why the Lian Li PC-X900 is a Win for me.

    I've just finished my build of a Lian Li PC-X900B. You all know the differences to the X1000, but one important thing not mentioned in this thread is that the sides of X900 are reinforced, and so they are no longer flimsy (my main complaint of the X1000). Btw I run the 24-pin cable inside the...

    Gigabyte GTX-480 SLI help...

    You connected the cards with the SLI-connector? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/nvidia_sli_connector.jpg If yes, try another one. That's the only logical reason for them not to work. Windows will load the correct drivers for SLI automatically.

    GTX 480 vs GTX 580: Results So Far

    I did some comparisons too, using my FT02 chassis: Idle I got the same idle temps for both cards, 39-40C. The fan ran 200rpm slower than the Gainward GTX480, and 400 rpm slower compared to Zotac GTX480. So no difference in temps, but a slightly lower fan speed on idle. Fan speed on GTX580...

    Any 480 Early adopters feel ripped off too?

    In my house we have 4 stationary computers and 2 laptops. I bought a GTX580 today, knowing that any upgrade on the family top of the line computer (mine :D) also will be an upgrade for the next computer in line, as parts are changed between them. My kids are always happy to get a better card...

    Corsair A70 High-Performance CPU Cooler Review @ [H]

    The "RAM-problem" is embarrasing for Corsair. Noctua NH-D14 has the same problem. That's the reason why I had to mount a Corsair H70 instead. These guys used a ASUS mobo and got the same problem with the NH-D14. Halfway in the build they had to dismantle and switch to a Noctua NH-D12 ;)...

    Resolved.

    The back plate behind the mobo has a dent a few inches up. There is the best place to fix the 24 pin and other thick cables. I see some put the wiring for graphic cards in the back as well, but I find it easier to run them in the front (between front panel and bottom fans). I really fell in...

    I'm looking for a new case for aircooled setup, can you suggest something?

    One more vote for FT02. Cable management is easy , airflow is superb, finish and details are top quality. Top 120mm fan is a bit loud, but is easily exchanged. I run a H70 with Scythe Gentle Typhoons idling at 900rpm.

    Resolved.

    Concerning the hard drive temps: I just remembered the tip in this thread to place an additional 120mm fan on top of the harddrives (blowing upwards). This reduced the temps to 33-34 C :)

    How many cases have you gone through the past year?

    Lian Li PX-X1000B Antec P183 Antec 902 Fractal Design R3 Silverstone Fortress FT02 Right now I am using 2 R3:s and a FT02. The FT02 is dedicated to flight simming, one R3 is for general gaming and the other R3 is for work. Wife is happy with an Antec 300 equipped with ny old Q9550. Feel...

    I just finished my new FT02 with red interior (#633 ;)). Hard drive holders were much better than the flimsy ones on my old FT01. Cooling is great and finish and details are top quality. I use 4 hard drives, leaving the first slot open. I notice a great temp difference, as the first drive...
