Both look good.... thoughts?
I'm looking to be able to run SLI in slot 1 & 4 so I have a space between graphics cards for airflow.
I'll consider other similarly priced boards too.
Please post your overclock results. My system details are in my signature. I'm trying to see how much I can overclock my new cards and I'm looking for other peoples results to compare.
Currently GPU boost is 1515MHz and MEM is 8GHz. Please see details and Unigine results below. I appreciate any...
Decided to cram my two MSI 6970 Lightning cards into my PC-V354. I'm not sure if the NZXT HALE82 650W PSU is up to it but seems fine so far. It was a very tight fit. PSU sits right on the heat pipes. Upgraded from EVGA GTX 560 ti.
Thoughts?
I want to know the measurements of the IO panel at the front of the case. I want to know if I can make it work in my PC-V1010 to get USB 3.0 support.
Measure from center of screws and measure the door flap would be awesome.

I'm looking at the following PSU.
I've also listed the prices in Canadian dollars. Can you guys help me decide? My current Corsair HX1000W is stating to cause me issues, the voltages on 3.3v have been running at 3v for about a year but now the 5v is running at 6v and the 12v sometimes goes...
I'm going to be upgrading to a new CPU/MB/RAM in the next 3-6 months.
I'm considering Z170 or X99 right now but have a question about a couple Haswell-E processors first.
I know the performance difference between the 5820k and 5930k is minimal.
My only question is about the Maximum number...
My old cards were MSI 6970 Lightnings that I bought in fall of 2011. Today my new MSI GTX 970 Gaming and SLI bridge arrived. Pretty happy with initial tests. Windows 10 did freak out and gave me fits as it wouldn't boot with critical errors. After rebooting about 6 times it finally went though...
I needed a new PC for my bedroom. Didn't want to spend a lot of money, this is used only for streaming SlingBox, media files from my main PC and Netflix. I will most likely never game on this machine.

Here are my results on a brand new Plextor M3 128GB drive. Running Windows 7 64-bit. i5 2500k with 4GB on Asus P8H67-M Evo with latest BIOS. Using MSAHCI driver. Drive seems quick overall what do you think?
I'm considering getting one of these kits in the new year to replace my Noctua air cooler. I have never done liquid cooling before. I would like to have a kit that would allow me to mount the radiator on the rear of my case and feed the tubing through the top of my case in the stock holes...
I have two MSI HD 6970 Lightning cards in CF. I have three monitors and a TV connected. My main display is a 24" 2407WFP 1920x1200. To the right I have a Dell U2311H in 1080x1920 portrait mode. To the left I have a Dell 2211h in 1920x1080 and across the room I have a 58" Plasma in 1920x1080...
So I installed a new OCZ Synapse 64GB SSD today. For those of you who don't know this drive is a cache drive that uses Dataplex software to cache the most frequently used files on your boot drive on the SSD. The drive has a 50% over provision to improve the life of the drive so basically with...
Stay with current i7 920 @ 3.7GHz, 12GB OCZ DD3, Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard and wait until Ivy Bridge.

I'm considering cutting into my Lian Li PC-V1010 case to add top exhaust fans. I would like to use two 120mm or 140mm fans to exhaust heat out of the top of my case. I've never done this before and I don't want to mess up the case. Is there an easy way to do this? I can't remove the top without...
Anyone know if the Lian Li PCI-01 tool less bracket will fit in the Lian Li PC-V1010 case. Having a real hard time finding the supported cases and I'm hoping someone here will see this and know.
This is the case:
This is the bracket:
It looks like the bracket fits in the same...
So I decided to test out using a Hybrid Physx solution. My system is in the sig and I've added a GT 430 1GB card with 128-bit memory bus. These are the results I've scored so far. Is it worth while? I haven't decided yet. What do you think?
All results are at 1920x1200 with MAXED game settings...
Right now I'm running a i7 920 @ 3.7GHz (185x20) and I'm looking to reduce my temps. I'm using a Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 with two 120mm Noctua fans in push/pull. I'm wondering if these close liquid coolers will offer some improvement. I'll probably be getting a new MB/CPU/RAM in 2012 so I would...
So I'm looking to clean up my stuff and reapply my heatsinks with new thermal compound. I've used Arctic Silver and Noctua stuff recently. I'm considering buying Noctua again or Arctic Silver 5. The last time I used Noctua was because it was bundled with my CPU heatsink.
I will be applying...
Hey guys. I'm looking into cleaning two of my systems and re-mounting my coolers. I'm wondering which thermal compound is best to use on my video cards and CPUs? I use to use Artic Silver but haven't used anything other than that. I'm wondering if Artic Silver is still good or if something...
I'm looking for a Geforce card to use as a dedicated physx card to work with my HD 6970 card. I'd like for it to be single slot if at all possible and low power usage, especially when idle. I'm thinking about a GT 430. I'd really like to find a GT 440 OEM edition but that is difficult.
Advice?
The the 11.10 preview 2 and the recent patch for the game itself have the issues with Rage been fixed? ie. texture and npc pop in, screen tears, etc.
I have this game but still haven't opened it because of the issues I read about. If it isn't fixed by now I'll be returning the game. If it is...
Hey. Just wondering if you guys would take a look at the information below and let me know if everything looks ok to you and what, if anything, I could be improving. My system info is in my signature. These temps are with my system fans on high, with them on low temps are 3-5 degrees higher but...
I got this with a video card but I already have the game. I'm asking $10 for it via paypal. If you're interested I'll provide my ebay name for feedback check if you want.
I upgraded to a MSI 6970 Lightning from my previous ASUS Dark Knight 4870's in crossfire. So far I've noticed the system draws about 120 watts less power on idle and about 140 less on 100% GPU load. Pretty happy about that. Idle card temp is around 41 degrees and 100% load in BF3 is around 70...
I'm currently running the 11.10 hotfix drivers with my crossfired 4870's. I will be replacing them with a single 6970. So I need to unistall the drivers or will the system pick them up?
Just wondering how my CPU stacks up against more modern systems. I've been running it for almost three years now and it still seems rock solid to me. Compared to my HTPC with a i5 2500K at stock speeds it still seems faster. I'm not sure a CPU upgrade would provide much benefit since I'd be...
Ok, so I've posted this before. I was settled on trying a GTX 560 with the thoughts of adding a second one later. I wasn't happy with the performance of the GTX 560 as it didn't offer a lot compared to what I already have now and felt adding a second one right away would pigeon hole me into...
I currently have a computer with a EVGA GTX 460 FTW card installed. I'm wondering if I could install a 250 or 260 card and use it as a dedicated physx card and use it to drive two monitors. I currently have two monitors connected to the GTX 460 and I would like to add two additional monitors...
I'm still in the market for a video card upgrade. Mainly to get to DX11 support. I'm running 4870's in crossfire right now and everything I try works fine. I'm looking for a performance boost and DX11 support. I'd also like to be able to use at least three monitors, as I can only use two now...
I'm currently running 4870's in crossfire and I use a 24" 1920x1200 display as my main display and a 23" 1920x1080 display in portrait mode. I'd like to be able to connect another 22" 1920x1080 display on my desk and my 58" 1920x1080 plamsa TV on the other side of the room. Right now I can...
So here's the story I've been a LONG time ATI/AMD graphics card user. My last (and only) nvidia graphics card for desktop PC was the TNT 2, yeah a long time. Since then I had a variety of ATI cards, mostly their top model AIW cards until they stopped making them and my main rig currently runs...
I'm looking to spend about $150 on a video card. I need 1920x1080 resolution for gaming. The CPU is the i5 2500K running at stock speeds. I play a large variety of games. I usually have ATI card but I'm considering an NVIDIA as I wouldn't mind trying out some Phsyx games like Alice Madness...

Hey guys, got this in today. Still waiting on my Lian Li PC-V354B to be delivered. I've tossed in a Core i5 2500K and 4GB (2x2GB) of G.Skill 1333Mhz DDR3. Nice looking board I think.
What do you think?
