    Sennheiser HD598 $95.00 - Amazon

    I couldn't resist the good deal and got in on this. I'm a big of a newb when it comes to good headphones... What would be a good dac / amp for this?

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Looks like the BIOS update did the trick. No more false starts. Works every time now. This board is shaping up to be quite nice.

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    I decided to bite on the ASRock ITX Fatal1ty... seems like a good board. I put a dry a run of my computer together... it's an i5 6600k, 750ti, and 16gb corsair vengeance LPX memory. Everytime i start the pc from a cold boot the fans and lights come on for a split second and then the whole PC...

    Skylake-Based Z170 Gaming Mini ITX Motherboard

    Ugh I can't decide between the ASRock Z170 ITX or the new ASUS Z170i Pro gaming. I can pick up the ASRock up at Microcenter today. I'd have to wait for the ASUS to become available somewhere. The motherboard is the last thing I need for my new PC. I've been a long time ASUS fan. I always seem...

    H240-X CPU + GPU

    My gaming / video demands are not that great... my primary goal is to reduce noise, temps, and power requirements while compromising as little performance as possible. The 750 ti has two fans that can be add to the noise... and I got the water block for it on sale. Plus, the 750ti has a great...

    H240-X CPU + GPU

    I'll be sure to check that post out. The h240-x is actually a 280mm radiator. I basically have room for another 140mm radiator or a 140mm fan in my case. My case currently only has two fans. Currently running in pull. Negative pressure is a concern so I'm thinking the one fan may be better than...

    H240-X CPU + GPU

    EK makes a 750ti block. I got it on sale for like $41. Do you run all that off the h220 pump or do you run a dual pump system? Does the pump get loud trying to push through two water blocks and another radiator?

    H240-X CPU + GPU

    I was looking to put both my CPU and GPU on a single custom loop with the Swiftech H240-X. I'm wondering if its feasible? My custom loop is a little different than most as I only have a 750ti and an i5 6600k that I'm looking to cool. I'm thinking the combined TDP here should be less than 150...

    Normal operating noise of new pump?

    On another note.. how noisy is your h220x pump at 100%? Is it anywhere near 25-30 dba? Mine is that loud without the fans. Those helix fans are noisy little suckers.

    Normal operating noise of new pump?

    you know... I actually did see some air bubbles yes. It wasn't a lot... but I guess that could be causing the issue. How often does a pump really even run at 100% anyways in reality

    Normal operating noise of new pump?

    So I just received a new Swiftech H240-X. The built-in pump while running at 100% speed makes about 25-30 dba of sound. Is this normal? I've never really done any water cooling before so I have no idea what to expect.

    Fanless PSU in enclosed case?

    I actually just heard back from Seasonic customer support. (by the way, they have the best response time I have ever seen when contacting a company!) They said it would be fine to mount the fanless PSU upside down in this particular case. Interesting as their manual advises against that.. but...

    Fanless PSU in enclosed case?

    My build is only going to pull in 250 watts under peak load. I really didn't want to buy a 500 watt plus PSU just to get the platinum efficiency. Unfortunately most of the Platinum ones with fans all come in at well over that.

    Fanless PSU in enclosed case?

    Hello! Planning a new build with the Rosewill W1 Mini ITX case: Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147221 I was hoping I could use a Seasonic Platinum 400 or 460W FANLESS PSU with this case. PSU...
