    Noctua Teases NF-A12x25 Fan

    For the general consumer yes 25mm standard, in servers or other markets? not always. I love their fans, I have 14 of them in my case 10 on radiators, and I'm more about the performance of them rather than the look.

    Advice before I spend (more) money for media storage/streaming

    Do you run just one nic? The cool thing about some NAS boxes is they run a teamed NIC, so you use both ports. You could buy a dual port NIC 1gb, and set up NIC teaming essentially getting double the bandwidth to the computer.

    Buy a DELL or custom build?

    I love building a PC, but in all honesty it's not for everyone. I build them as a hobby and I get a lot more bells and whistles that way. If you're on a strict budget and it does what you need, then get a pre-built system. You may get bashed, but hey it's your money, save the extra dough and...

    ASUS “Leaks” STRIX X299-E Motherboard

    hahahaha. I did at one point have UV lighting on my UV reactive cables back 15 years ago, but nowadays I just want more functional over pretty colors. To me the RGB craze as of late just reminds me of the underglow craze on cars, just funny. Neat concept, I just have no need for it.

    GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Reportedly Launching in Late March

    I had two 680's in SLI but when I bought the PG348Q I needed something stronger. Had a buddy get two Titan XP's and gave me his 980 Ti as a loaner, if the cost vs benefit for a Titan XP is still better then I'll swing for that. I just hope it's worth it's hype.

    HWLabs Nemesis radiators are garbage.

    You can't really blame a company for your negligence and not paying attention. I just bought two Nemesis GTS 360mm's (push only) for my new build, they're just going to cool my video cards, I went with a Nemesis GTX 280 for my (push and pull) CPU/MOBO/Vreg cooler. If you want SR2 performance...

    PSU placement in HTPC cases??

    Well they used to be above the CPU to be used as a source of vacuum for the cpu heat, I'm guessing since PSU creates some heat it's better to be near the area that may or may not have an expansion card.

    New case format for m.2 SSDs

    I think U.2 will catch on more, m.2 I think will still be there but may just focus on being a OS drive. PCI-E and U.2 will most likely be more of the future.

    All well with CaseLabs?

    I do know that some of their smaller cases just came back into the market, and they focused a lot on the swap-able parts for all the cases for a bit. I just called today because I wanted a S8 case, but they told me they couldn't even come up with a availability when they were going to have...

    Doom's Soundtrack Now For Sale

    I think the sound track fit perfectly, I really enjoyed it. There are times where I wish I could just enjoy the instrumental portion of heavy/hard rock, like when driving on that long road by yourself barreling through the turns. I bought it and will be listening to it for some time!

    Best for a GTX 1080: 144hz G-Sync 1440p or 60hz G-Sync 4K?

    I was going to buy either the Asus or Acer 27" 1440p screen, but since they're on such heavy back order and was in the market for a new screen. I bought the Asus PG348Q, I love it...just requires a lot of power to run, games (when I can run them) are amazing. I have two GTX 680's in SLI and...

    Deus Ex Mankind Divided - first official benchmark review - official disappointment

    Thermaltake Responds To Allegations It Copied The Competition

    I've been saying this FOREVER (well not on the forums, as I'm a super lurker). All their stuff has always seemed like a copy of everyone's stuff. They have had (ThermalTake) a few of their own ideas, but the majority of the products I've seen are just replica's; it's almost like konig wheels...

    WTB: eVGA GTX 680

    I'm looking to buy a eVGA GTX 680, I'd prefer a Signature edition not over clocked by you the user. This is for SLI purposes, so I believe I can't use a 4gb card. I do not have any heat, I've never bought used/new electronics before through a forum...just car parts. I assure you I'm not a bot...

    8800GTS to 8800GT

    Every time I seem to see a new video card come out, they release the high end one, then release the lower end models down the road. So what is going on here? Am I going to see a 8900 or whatever this month? (before my EVGA trade up is over:confused:) The 8800 GT just doesn't look like enough...

    Why are video cards so expensive now?

    I've got a 6800 GT OC 256mb 1gb DDR 400, FX-55, with 2005FPW. I've not had a single problem playing any game at some of the highest settings. You complain about card prices being so high but the companies use some "high end" chips and top of the line parts the money to produce things at launch...

    Going from 7800GTX to 7600GT

    SLI is nice because it evens out the load. The question I have is why would you down-grade anyways? If it's for price you can get an evga 7900GTX for like $400. So video cards have take a drop in price but if you were to just wait get a second high end card you might spend like $100 more but...

    512mb x 4 or 1gb x 2

    A while back the reason people didn't buy 1 gb sticks was the latency. Now 1GB sticks have low latency at a good price. So i'd say get the 2x 1gb sticks. Plus when you get 4x512mb sticks typically for it to work (ex with DDR 400 the last stick had to be single sided(on certain Nforce 3...

    Worth getting an AM2?

    I'd say make the jump to AM2 to future proof your machine. If you're not a heavy gamer you shouldn't have any problem getting a good AM2 machine. If you don't want dual core you can get the 3500+ for $85. I use the 3500+ on 939 with 1GB ddr 400 and 6800GT. I'm having no trouble running any...

    AMD & ATI - Marketing VP Talks
