Thanks for the feedback. I will clean it off and re-apply the paste. :)

Not sure if this is the right section to post this question- but I received a DOA mobo so I had to remove my hyper 212 plus from my new Haswell 4670k. I looked at the heatpipes and cpu and both have a pretty good spread on em. When my new motherboard arrives do I need to remove and re-apply the...

I just upgraded to a 7970, looking to sell my two 5850s that have been flashed with Sapphires 5870 Vapor-X BIOS to up the Voltage. I will say that one card did not like OCing as much as the other one, so I had them both at 815/1200. They were inside my Fortress 2 case so not much dust got to...

Title says is it all, I am selling my old sound card. found a link to it on newegg.com - it's pretty old. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102189 The only reason I pulled it is because I went crossfire and had no room for it. Works great. I do not know if I can locate...

Thanks for Posting jpongin! now I am even more excited for my Xense to arrive today. I am patiently waiting *fingers drumming* at my work desk for the UPS guy to make the drop. It's been too long since I have had a dedicated card. Last one I had was the X-FI Fatality FPS PCI card (still have it...

Bump! I was wondering the same thing. :D

Beautiful setup yenniedn! I think I need to redo my cable management, guess I didnt think to hide those PCI-E cables behind like that... Most other pics I have seen on FT-02 builds have those things just out there like mine, but yours, I kind of just did a face palm when I saw it.^_^ Now if...

Some great setups out there, these threads always make me want to spend money. Here is my current setup- -PC- -Console Gaming/TV- End.

Good Find OP! I had been looking for a replacement for my current Hard Drive setup and wanted lots of room, ordered two for RAID - 0. :D

yeah, I don't think I could ever buy an ULTRA product after doing a build for a friend where we used one of their cases because fryz had one for really cheap. Thing was a real piece of junk, nothing lined up correctly and the whole case rattled when we turned it on. I'll hold out for the...

looks like the AX750 was only on sale for a day on Newegg.com for $149.99 ($129.99 after MIR) Price has gone up to $169.99 ($149.99 after MIR) Amazon.com- I have to pay sales tax if I order from them since I live in Seattle. :( Conclusion- Going to wait it out for another sale on the AX...

My current PSU that is several years old is starting to growl, figure now would be a good time to replace it before it locked up on me. Requirements- Modular Works well with OCing Can support 2 HD5850's in CrossFire Configuration. Note- I will be adding the second HD5850 Toxic soon...

I am looking to either add to or replace my current hard drive setup. Currently the two WD 74GIG Raptors running RAID 0 that I have are working fine in relation to performance, but now in the world of digital distribution- games are filling it fast. I recently had to RMA one back to the...

uh just don't look directly at the picture and you wont notice the terrible cable management. unfortunately the PSU has way too many cables, and the case does not provide any help to snake the cables behind the board... Still its running great! :D

I'll take some pics tomorrow.:D

Just wanted to thank everyone for their assistance. :) Upgrade Finished- MOBO: MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor W/ Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus running 3.99Ghz...

I am working on an upgrade build and wanted to put an XFX ATI HD 5850 or 2 in it. I was planning on moving over the PSU that is in my sig, but not sure if it will meet the requirements. I am not familiar with power consumption and/or requirements. here is the PSU on newegg.com-...

Thanks for all the information! I am going to order that cooler form SVC, and go with the RAM you previously mentioned. as for the CPU, I have already purchased the combo in my original thread. I agree with what your saying though, I could have gotten a better deal on a combo going with the...

The Mobo had a 10% off Promo Code bringing the cost down to $305.99. and as for Intel, I guess I should have stated in my post that I am an AMD fanboy. :p I know... Intel has the best CPU's... I wont argue with anyone about that. :D

I did consider the six core CPU... I might move to six core later down the road. :) Like the cooler! Looks like a winner, ill have to search around for a deal. that RAM seems to be the choice for many building on a budget, what about these-...

I just bought this combo on Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.398184 Total came to 305.99 with rebate. :) good deal? I have all the parts in my Signature still which I will be moving over the following innards- Hard Drives, Optical Drives, and...

yeah I checked the voltage. :( same temps at full load running Prime95. I didn't think 52 C was too bad for full load, but I guess the question is, when one core is popping above 60 that is a very bad thing? my idle temps got moved down to 35-37 C :)

3 jet engines installed. Temp while running full Prime95 CPU: 52 Core 1 58 Core 2 65 bad?? :confused:

Its too late, already got the CRAZY Scythe ULTRA KAZE 120MM fans 3000's. :) I will post my results after installation. House temperature? I have no clue... No thermostat in the apartment :(

Hey lightp2, I know it would just be easier to do a build, I have shopped around for parts about 5X in the last year. I keep getting something setup and looking over my part choices and the prices, it seems great until I realize I always like to get the high end tech (best stuff-most...

Sounds like adding more RAM isn't a great idea for the current build. I don't really think I need more, just saw the same kit for a cheap price figured might as well add 2GB... I thought I had updated my sig... Must have had too many lines, now its updated. GPU tems- GPU- 50 idle GPU Diod-...

Hi Tech Guru's, :) I am in need of your assistance once again... Had this build (see sig) for a while now, and it has served me extremely well, but since I have moved into an apartment with steam heaters, the temps in here get pretty warm, and that small change has caused me some headaches...

I am running my CPU at 250X12 on stock Voltage *3.0Ghz* with a Zalman cooler plopped on top with artic silver 5 applied. My idle temps are 45-46 C and I am right now, as I am writing this- I am currently running Prime95 and the temps show on everest that my CPU temp is 52 C, I know that isn't...

I went shopping for a HDTV this last weekend and brought home one of these http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8251303&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat95100050039&id=1169512521072 I wasnt planning on watching TV at all on it, just game, PS3, XBOX360, Wii. but since I had basic...

so after installing Vista x64 and using Windows Media player and such, I get snap crackle and pop, like pouring milk on rice crispies... Also, I am not sure if its my sound drivers, but I have gotten 2 freezes, where I cant even move my mouse, both times, music was playing... I got the latest...

are you temps too high though? what temp should I be worried about?
