    EVGA 560 Ti - Single vs Dual fan models?

    It's looking likely I may go with the 560 reference. The artifact comments on the TFII scare the hell out of me too much and looks like the Hawk/DS sound like jet engines.

    EVGA 560 Ti - Single vs Dual fan models?

    I'm mostly concerned with case heat since the GPU manufacturers neglected to release any external-exhaust models for the 560 Ti. I'm building on a CM690 II and trying to get a decent overclock on a 2500k so I'm worried just how much effect these internal exhaust cards will be causing on the rest...

    EVGA 560 Ti - Single vs Dual fan models?

    Originally I was considering the TFII but I've been rather bothered by the increasing number of comments about artifacting problems as well as the weight of the cooler causing potential problems with its PCIe seating. I also saw the Hawk with the Twin Frozr III heatsink which I haven't read...

    EVGA 560 Ti - Single vs Dual fan models?

    Been planning to order a new build this week and the 560 I had picked out (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610) has gone out stock (in fact it seems like nearly every EVGA 560 has gone out of stock at the same time somehow). I just now somehow found out about the...

    New rig

    Well the only thing that's really dissuading me from going with an SLI or 570-580 build right now is the fact that Kepler is supposed to be out less than a year from now. Until that got delayed into 2012 my original plan was to wait and see how that turned out before building. Currently I'm...

    New rig

    Didn't ASRock break off from ASUS a couple years ago? Samsung SyncMaster 215TW 21.5" at 1680x1050. Been using it since 2006, thought a couple times of looking for a new one but it doesn't seem like the tech has improved much since.

    New rig

    Doing some last-minute reading, I've been hearing comments that the backplate access on the CM690 II doesn't line up with the 1155 socket, could anyone confirm or deny this?

    Ok, what would be the reasons?

    Yeah, it's the one I've been hearing the most about.

    New rig

    Hate to bump this up again but I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the optical drive? That's pretty much the last question mark I'm having on this build. Which of the two would you recommend? On the original warranty topic it looks like I could extend the ASRock's warranty to 3-4...

    New rig

    Well it's certainly a good point, doing some research, ASRock's RMA system seems a little hazy. Been looking into Asus' lineup now, a little stumped on what the differences between the different models are, particularly the P8Z68-V or the P8Z68-V Pro.

    New rig

    I thought ASRock had two years? I've only heard good things about their 1155 boards so far. Switched out the WD for the F3 now in the build plan.

    New rig

    I have the existing 2TB for storage. The 1TB is to function as a drive to run applications aside from the SSD, since for a gaming system, 128gb fills fast. Right now the Gen3 is actually a mere $5 above the old Extreme4, and actually with rebate ends up $5 cheaper. With a negligible price...

    New rig

    I've been on my C2D E6600/8800GTX system for 4.5 years now and it's looking like now is the time to finally retire the old box now that it's barely breaking minimum specs on new releases. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming primarily, possibly...

    is it worth getting a z68 over a p67?

    Working on a new build, I'm leaning toward a z68 just for the sake of redundancy the IGP can provide. I don't usually have a second GPU on hand so I like the idea of having that option as a backup in case it decides to have a meltdown on me, as a student having my PC out of commission for 2-3...
