    Samsung 840 SSD was worth it !!

    You can switch AHCI on after the fact. Google "AHCI registry edit" .

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Pretty happy with the Netgear R6300. Bought it, it updated the firmware to the latest version, and now my wi-fi signal is about 3 times as strong as it was on the 3400 I had before. Plus it's pretty sleek too :P

    Help me build a balling Ivy Bridge watercooled system in a TJ11 :-)

    About watercooling 680s... Mine idled at about 30*C under air and ramped up to 60*C or so under load. Under water? 30*C idle and 35*C under load. Dead silent. Granted, my system has about 2 grand worth of water cooling parts in it, but hey, you said you had an unlimited budget, right?

    New 3820 +$2000 build

    Maybe the Force GTs had problems at some point, but I've successfully used about half a dozen of them in various builds including my current machine without a single issue. Just my .02 worth.

    High Static Pressure Fans

    I dunno folks. I'm running a single D5, two 680s, a full cover mobo block and a CPU block with 2 480 rads, and I"m overclocked to 4.5ghz. GPUs run about 32*C under load and the CPU hits about 45*C - with 4 GT AP15s per rad. I'd say that's about all the performance I need. I could easily fit...

    OMG what did EK do?

    I've never seen the allure of nickel plating, so I when I put the WC system together I used all EK copper + acetal blocks. NOT the hideous CSQ stuff though. I agree their new stuff looks like something you'd see in a mid 60's James Bond movie, and not in a good way.

    Panaflos are insanely loud. Gentle Typhoons, not so much.

    RARE Cooler Master ATC-110 Case ends July 3, 2012 bid or Buy It Now

    Why can't Coolermaster make cases like that any more? The ATC series cases were just works of art.

    Best thermal paste for WC?

    I'm using Gelid GC-Extreme on my CPU, GPU, and MB blocks. I think it's one of the best thermal compounds out there in terms of performance.

    What are you guys using to control your pumps and fans

    Trust me, I've had systems with Deltas at 100% that I ran for years. I know "jet engine at take-off" levels of fan noise. Playing BF3 with essentially ZERO noise is definitely the way to go :D

    Fan recommendation

    I've been very happy with the XSPC fans I've used for case fans in addition to my GT AP15s for the rads. They're quiet and flow a ton of air.

    What are you guys using to control your pumps and fans

    The nice thing about the Aquaero is you can set it to basically turn the LCD contrast and brightness down to zero after a timeout period. Trust me, the ability to see what your temps are by hitting a couple of buttons on the front is addictive :)

    RARE Cooler Master ATC-110 Case ends July 3, 2012 bid or Buy It Now

    That is, most assuredly, NOT an ATC-110.

    Proposed CPU loop.. first timer

    Seconding just using distilled water with a silver killcoil. And forget about dye. Seriously. It looks cool, but the crap it deposits in all your blocks, pump and tubing is NOT cool when it breaks down. And it WILL break down, no matter what dye proponents will tell you. Just grab some...

    $2500+ build, need input

    I went EK with all my blocks save the GPU, but I went copper. I liked the design of their RIVE block which is why I went with it instead of one of the others. Their CSQ 680 block, however, is A W F U L. Inlet/outlet on the same side and 70's retro styling? No thank you. I went with the EVGA...
