    ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Anyone try this mobo with a 3770K? I bought the Extreme4 Gen3 a few months ago on sale at Amazon, and had it sitting on a shelf waiting for Ivy Bridge. Picked up a 3770K on Saturday at Microcenter for $289.99 - 5% Coupon + tax = $296 out the door. Question is: do I open the mobo box and...

    Cosmos II (Liquid Edition)

    Super clean build! I love it! Q: What tubing and fluid are you using? The last time I tried red fluid it looked closer to pink - yuck. :o Also, how is the cooling with the EX480 in the pull setup? Enough to get the heat out of that denser radiator? Your build alone should sell folks...

    New custom loop: rate my temps and parts

    Hi Jayham, I've got the R4's on a 360 radiator too, and about to add a GPU block into my loop as well (DD-GTX580/570 Black Chrome Top and Nickle Base). I have the same line of thinking as you... will one 360 rad. be enough to keep both parts cool? As 86 5.0L said, your numbers look pretty...

    NZXT Phantom case: lotsa airflow and perks.

    A little more info please: 1) What CPU cooler is on the i7-930 now? 2) Did you run the tests at stock CPU, GPU, and RAM settings? 3) When you say "benefit more", what benefits are you referring to? (Tests scores, FPS, lower temps in general...?) 4) Does your 4870 auto adjust it's fan...

    NZXT Phantom case: lotsa airflow and perks.

    Decided to go with a Red and Black theme rather than the included blue lighting. Added custom water cooling using mostly XSPC parts - which were highly rated and work very well. Mobo, CPU, GPU, DVDRW and everything else I had already had in another case. The Phantom allowed me to switch from a...

    Thinking about WC'ing. First timer here!!

    Yea, hdgamer, watercooling will definitely bring all your temps down if you set it up correctly. Plenty of info. on the sticky's and forums that will help narrow down the parts that will fit your budget... Here's a brief article showing the 480 full waterblock installation process.

    Thinking about WC'ing. First timer here!!

    Curious, since the MCW-80 only cools the GPU, what did you use to cool the rest of the card(s) with? Did you use these Swiftech GTX 470-HS?

    NZXT Phantom case: lotsa airflow and perks.

    Hey, I'm curious about the space in the top cover. Is there enough space to put a fan on top of the case with the top cover over it? Also, would a 240mm radiator fit on top with the top cover on? That way the 200mm fan could still blow air up through the rad. The radiator I have has...

    Challenge: Can I water cool Tri-SLI GTX 480's in an FT02? Please?

    Hi, Great thread and info. Quick question: In your Mockup diagram, which way is the coolant flowing? Out the pump/reservoir to the radiator, or out to the GPU blocks? Also, I read that the pump should be lowest point of the system. Will having the pump mounted at top 5 1/4 slots have...
