    Dell U2715H (new standard gamut model, successor to U2713HM)

    I ordered a U2715H last weekend and I've been using it for a few days now. This is my first Dell monitor. I'm satisfied with it, though I'll admit I don't have the most demanding eye when it comes to monitor quality and features. My initial impressions: * It's much slimmer and sleeker than my...

    Building first water cooling loop... Please advise

    Radiator: I recommend the Alphacool UT60 480 like the other poster mentioned. It's a very high performing rad. GPU blocks: The XSPC Razor GPU blocks are very nice and will match the kit, if you are going for looks. Otherwise EK copper waterblocks are my favorite. They also make nickel plated...

    Building first water cooling loop... Please advise

    A 360 and 480 would be great for that loop I think. I usually go by the "rule" that at minimum you want 120mm radiator space for each heat generating component, plus another 120mm headroom for overclocking. There's lots of choices and brands for parts. You can't really go wrong anywhere but I...

    First time water cooling

    The kits come with blue LEDs for the block and resevoir.

    First time water cooling

    I think they are actually the same thing, just one is a retail package and the other is sold by the foot.

    First time water cooling

    I would say AX, it is their newest model released this year and I believe is meant to replace both the EX and RX. White tubing is awesome, that's what I use in my loop too. :) If you are going with the Raystorm kit make sure you get 7/16" ID / 5/8" OD tubing. Primochill and XSPC both make that...

    First time water cooling

    The AX is thinner and has a higher fin density. They should perform comparably, so it's your choice. I prefer the AX because I don't like very thick rads. I think most people use top rads as an exhaust, but you will get better performance if its an intake, as the air outside your PC will almost...

    First time water cooling

    If you want to get it done for under $300, I would suggest a kit. The parts are chosen for you but it is much ($100+) cheaper than buying separate parts. Specifically I would suggest this kit...

    Alcohol testers

    I had one of those cheapie breathalyzers. Bluetrac brand I think. Cost me about $50. It was a nice novelty but it was not accurate at all. Two breaths in a row would produce completely different results. And to have any semblance of accuracy at all you cannot have drank, eaten, or smoked...

    reccomend a verizon phone

    Yeah, an iPod Touch. :P Seriously though, any phone you get with wifi will be considered a smartphone and they will make you pay for the data plan.

    Need 8GB of memory: 4x2GB or 2x4GB?

    If prices are equal, definitely go with 2 DIMMs over 4 DIMMs. Having only 2 DIMMs populated vs 4 will allow much greater stability and reduce stress on your memory controller when overclocking. For example, in my overclocked i7 system, running 2 GB x 4 DIMMs at 181 BCLK required 1.33 VTT, while...

    I got the wrong CPU through newegg 2500 instead of the K

    The fact that he says "charge me the difference" would suggest he ordered the cheaper 2500 instead of the 2500k. It is very unlikely that NewEgg would ship him the wrong item.
