    XSPC Rasa: How tight?

    I'm building my i5 machine tonight and am installing the XSPC Rasa. After reading dozens of installation guides (including the one offered by the manufacturer), I have absolutely no idea how tight to make the included bolts. All the way tight? Half-way tight? The instructions say: Other...

    Expandable sleeving over tubing?

    Howdy [H]F, I had an idea last night and made me wonder if anyone has done it before: Has anyone ever put flex sleeving over their watercooling tubing? I tested it out with some extra I had and it actually gives it a very nice woven look, and also helps prevent kinks if a small enough flex is...

    Molex to SATA, is that 3.3V really required?

    Hey guys, I have a new SFF build and for cable management purposes I'd like to use a Molex to SATA adapter (I can customize the position of the connectors on the adapter, but not on my PSU cables). Regular sata cables have the orange 3.3V lead, whereas the adapter only uses 5V and 12V. I...

I'm going to flush my radiator with hot distilled water as per the WC sticky, but what about my pump, res, and waterblock? Since they're brand new do I need...

    Poor Mushkin Callisto DX SSD Performance

    So I know these benchmarks aren't perfect, but I have been noticing some slow-down on my Mushkin Callisto DX drive which is less than 2 months old, and decided to see what kind of results I get. To say the least, this is pretty disappointing. Any thoughts as to what's going on here? EDIT...

    SSD Raid0 now or single drive later

    I need any recommendations or feedback on an SSD configuration for my i5 build. I'm going with an SSD for boot / programs because I want it to be faster, cooler, and more quiet than a nice 7200 drive, but at the same time I want to do it for as little $$ as possible (within reason). Right now...

    XSPC Rasa vs Enzotech SCW?

    I've heard very good things about both the XSPC Rasa and the Enzotech Sapphire CPU blocks, but I have no idea which is better as I can't find anyone who's stacked them up. The Enzotech used to be cheaper, but now its $52 with the 1156 retention bracket, whereas I can pick up the Rasa for $50...

    HD 6850 Length

    Does anybody happen to know the physical length of the MSI, HIS, Gigabyte, or Diamond 6850? I read that the MSI and XFX cards are a non-amd-reference size and therefore shorter (http://www.anandtech.com/show/4002/amd-radeon-hd-6850-overclocking-roundup-asus-xfx-msi/4), but the power connector is...

    Lian Li V352 Build: Reservoir, tubing, and NB questions
