    I have a three input SMA wifi antenna and 3 ULF to SMA adapters so I should be covered. I should also note that I have a PCI x4 NIC if I end up with a board without that mPCIe slot. (as most do not have it). The cheapest I can upgrade is $400. ASRock Extreme4 ($135), 3570k ($230), ripjaws x...

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    Hey guys I'm looking into water cooling. If you're the tl;dr type my budget is unclear at this point in time but it will likely be around $1000-$1500. H70/cf-v12hp or custom closed loop? Here's the thread. If you have a minute look it over and tell me what you think...

    Micro ATX gaming build - comments?

    The memory controller can handle 1.65v without issue much like vcore can handle 1.4. The memory voltage is a myth. Overvolting is as old as over clocking.

    After looking through that TJ08 thread it looks like there are some water cooling components I didn't know about. Specifically the res/pumps that go in 5.25" bays. Take the hdd rack out, use a quiet HDD enclosure in one 5.25" bay for a data drive, use the other for pump/resevoir, froget the br...

    Hmm I thought uefi bios were configurable to post quickly since self checks don't take too long nowadays and the delay is primarily so you have a chance to get into the bios but I guess it varies between models. I know raid slows down boot time that's why pcie ssd and multiple ssd...

    Huh that would actually be an excellent choice. I'm not left handed and I don't walk on the ceiling so assembly might be a little tricky. Also does anyone know of a 180mm fan with a hydro bearing? That would absolutely rock.

    Only slightly. If I went with that I would be adding noise dampening material pretty much anywhere I could fit it. The thermal performance and size cannot be argued with, but dust and noise wise how does it perform?

    Thanks for the input! I know there's only one upfront USB 3 but I think I could make it work for me. The R4 is a really tempting choice but it's enormous for a mid ATX and the mini has all the key features I'm looking for. I know I didn't mention this in the OP but aside from silence I also...

    1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming, Overclocking, matlab/misc engineering tools, media playback, photoshop. 2. What's your budget? Budget is fairly flexible but uncertain at this point in time. Looking between one and two grand when all is said and done. I'm not really looking...
