ONCE

Does anyone have an M1 V5 that doesn't have a two-color LED for the HDD/power light? I tried switching the power and HDD cables to the header but now I have a flashing blue power button. I might just unplug them if theres no red! It's not like I need to see the light on when I can hear the fans...

Hi guys, I've currently got a EVGA 1080Ti ICX FTW3 preorder in my cart. Unfortunately the estimated ship date is in May and I'm considering somehow getting my hands on a 1080TI FE (hopefully not through a scalper) instead for my 7700K + 240mm AIO NCase build. What I'm currently thinking of doing...

Speaking of Founders cards, since EVGA's 1080Ti FTW3 card is supposed to come out soon, (and much less taller than the 1080 FTW! 4.37 inches instead of 5 inch PCB height) Would the temperature benefit of an open air cooler be detrimental if I have a 240mm radiator? Unfortunately I haven't seen...

Are you returning the PSU's for the coil whine? What company? I was gonna buy my SF600 from Amazon but I'm not sure if they'll let me do that more than once, if at all.

quick question (this is my first build): i've already bought a right angle 8pin power cable (kareoncables on ebay) for an upcoming build involving an EVGA 1080 FTW since it has a tall PCB that necessitates a right angle adapter. Now that the 1080TI ICX FTW3 is on its way, do I just buy a...

To top it off, what temps are you getting? I'm planning on putting a 1080 FTW in mine!

KRAKEN X52 CONFIRMED FIT (I also updated the google spreadsheet to reflect.) As a side note, I installed the cooler without CPU or socket cover as a test fit. Can I leave it like this until I get the CPU or should I disassemble the cooler and replace the socket cover?

Sounds like a worthwhile investment then, no? I don't really want to buy an HDD for my build seeing as it might not fit. If better endurance is what the Pro will get me then I suppose having a -slow- backup of mission critical files on an external HDD I have lying around somewhere is alright.

1 panel set in silver to match the old macbook please!

+1 for EVGA! I would've gotten an Asus 1080 Strix but by all accounts regarding their customer service sounds nonexistent to put it bluntly.

Sorry i won't be able to answer your main question (new to pc building), but I would definitely consider filters unless you can manage a positive or neutral air pressure in the case. Also what's your reasoning in getting the 960 Pro instead of the Evo? I'm planning on getting an Evo but...

Oh man I if that's the case hopefully I'll be able to trade in/sell my 1080 for the 1080Ti a few months after release :^) Anything to help push more pixels to the X34 monitor without SLI!

Might the EVGA Powerlink (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=600-PL-2816-LR) work for taller PCB cards? EDIT: Nevermind looks too thick. Although it would be nice since I'll be using an M.2 slot, leaving the SSD space at the face free for wiring.
