    First look at Silverstone RV03

    didn't realize silverstone started making wastebaskets. Cool now I can get one to match my ft02;)

    OC with speed step enabled

    Oh ok understand now. Did you try enabling C1E in bios?? The way I understand it is speedstep lowers your multiplier, but C1E lowers your voltage. Try that and see if it has the effect you're looking for

    OC with speed step enabled

    So what exactly are you trying to accomplish then? Care to elaborate?

    the scythe kama bay won't work without a bit of modding. Tried using one I had from a old build but there are these tabs that jut out in the 5 1/4" bay that interfere with the kama bay. The mod would be simple involving only bending the small tabs in the case or cutting away small sections of...

    Buy now or wait till summer?

    i7 930's are going for $199 at microcenter and I don't think it'll get any cheaper than that for a while. Only catch is its an in-store only deal. That being said you might as well wait to buy your setup since the x68 chipset should be coming out soon.

    OC with speed step enabled

    Speedstep lowers your multiplier on your cpu when it's at idle or low load to save you electricity. So if I understand you correctly, you want to lower the vcore to 1.27v at 3.4ghz correct? Then all you have to do is go into your bios and set ur vcore to 1.27v, save settings, then exit. Then...

    Help me choose a x58 Motherboard!

    Have you checked out evga's offerings?? I'm currently running a vanilla x58 sli mb w/ a i7 920 d0 at 3.8ghz on air, could probably push 4.0+ghz easily but with summer coming I don't see the point right now. It might not have the bells and whistles of usb 3.0 and sata III support, but what it...

    Was wondering if anyone else with the ft02 notice oil spewing from the included golf blade fan?? Was tooling around inside my case and noticed a buildup of a mineral oil type material around the inside frame of the fan. I see no other possible source of this oil besides it being leaked by the...

    Help Ocing core i7 920

    Sounds like a ram issue to me. So are you stable at stock clocks with ur ram running at spec? Also might wanna run memtest on your ram to see if thats the issue.

    double spacing on PCI-e slots?

    I currently have a pair of gtx 275 in sli on my evga x58 sli mb in a ft02. Was initially going to run the second gfx card on the third pci-e slot, but I didn't like that it would cover the debug led. So I decided to just use the first two slots instead. I was worried that the first card would...

    need help with PSU choice

    From what I've read Corsair's hx line has higher efficiency and is superior to their tx line. Also +1 for the 850hx. Better to have a bit more headroom in a psu, be it for future upgrades or running at lower loads(thus prolonging the life of the psu). On that note, I currently run: i7 920...

    Help Ocing core i7 920

    Did you raise your cpu vtt(uncore) to be 0.5v of your vdimm? If not you are risking damage to your cpu. With such a modest overclock you should be able to leave all voltages besides cpu vtt and vdimm on auto. Also try setting the timing on the ram manually in the bios, your ram's spec calls...

    I am totally miffed at Silverstone and need advice.

    Well since you have reported the fraudulent charges to your bank and you're off the hook, let them handle the investigation. Had someone swipe my cc number after only using it once at this one gas station, reported it to the bank and let them know who I suspected. Well they told me they'd look...
