I dont have one of these either.

I am building a low-budget Office-PC. Since the graphics card hasnt arrived yet, i cant install the operating system. I have a different GPU on hand, but it requires an 8pin conncetor, whereas the psu only has 1 6pin. Can i use one of the free 8pin-connectors of my main rig to power the GPU in...

Got my A4 delivered yesterday. Its really impressive to see that even the box it came in is smaller than the majority of cases out there. Here it is in comparison to the already really small Ncase M1: Sadly i won't be able to start my build directly, as i will need to gather additional parts...

I dont know if this is still relevant, but i have used a very similar ddc top, the aquacomputer aquacover ddc, and it did fit pretty well without the GPU touching the top, so no vibrations or sound transferring through the case. However, you need to plan out the way you want to connect...

I think its those: Premium Glossy Aluminum Alloy Countersunk Washer 11 Colors (M3 M4 M5) Personall, i think the build looks really nice. I have a black M1 v2 myself, and whenever i see a nice silver build, i sometimes think of getting another one just to have both.... I just dont like the...

I have a setup like the one you are planning on building, and i did use the EK 90° fittings. They are rotating, but pretty stiff, and very well built. Have 2 of them in use for 9 months, no problems whatsoever this far. I do also have a 45° fitting from Alphacool, which to my surprise doesnt...

Finished my fully custom water cooling X99 build a while ago. This was half a year back, but i recently found the pictures i took in the process, thought i might aswell share them with you guys. I think its a configuration that isn't seen all too often around here. Pictures don't have the best...

Thanks for the info.

Wow. where did you get that EK dual-bridge? Was it custom-made by EK for you? can't find it on their website.

I remember some time ago you could run something like the Xeon e3 1231 v3 on some Asrock boards with all cores set to the max turbo boost, meaning all 4 cores would boost to 3,8 GHz. How is it on the X99 Platform? I know that intel later put an end to this with a microcode update, but the older...

Does anybody know how the turbo-stepping of xeons handle on this board? I remember some time ago you could run something like the 1231 v3 on some Asrock boards with all cores set to the max turbo boost, meaning all 4 cores would boost to 3,8 GHz. How is it on the X99 Platform? I know that intel...

Sharkoon Silent Storm 500W SFX-L. It is faced with the fan to the outside, because i have a 240mm radiator with fans blowing hot air inside the case. Furthermore, i don't think the cables would fit with a long graphics card installed like the GTX 980 when oriented the other way round.

From a temperature perspective one 240mm rad is enough to cool both one high-end CPU and GPU. I have a 5820K @4GHz and a GTX 980 @1.5GHz on one Swiftech 240mm, and the temps max out at 61°C on the hottest CPU-Core, and at 59°C on the GPU, all in an Ncase. If you go 2x240mm, you will get into a...

Some very quick mockups as how i think such a bridge could look like. Since i dont know the exact dimensions of the EK-cooler, measurements arent accurate. I haven't found any blueprints online so far. The biggest drawback would be the fact that such a bridge needs to be manufactured in two...

Holy shit, are you me? Thats exactly what i was thinking about the last weeks. The R9 Nano might be the perfect (yet expensive) candidate for a project like this. I didnt like the card when it first came out, but with its uniquely short PCB at 15,3cm it will allow a 120mm rad, maybe even a...
