I'm about to be on my third Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master. The first one died in 45 seconds. The second lasted long enough to test my 3950x. Now it just won't power on. It's not the PSU as I've tried 2 different Seasonics one being brand new. I've tried a 3800x and 3950x in this board. First the...

This will be my first post of many to come as I post all my new build details, but wanted to share my results so far today. I just finished building my new PC and went with Asus ROG Strix 2080 Ti(s) OC models because I knew they had the TU-102-300A die after accidentally purchasing the non-OC...

[This was my first successful custom water cooling loop, go gentle] So I was finally able to finish my extremely long overdue water cooling loop. I'm sure no one remembers my custom case project by this point, but I basically gave up on it until I decide to get mini itx or some nonsense. So the...

First time posting in Worklogs so be gentle. This will be my second custom case in 15 years. Background: I'm really getting into playing VR on the HTC Vive. I just got WidmoVR prescription lenses so I could actually see while playing as glasses were difficult. My VR setup is in my living room...

I'm starting a project but don't have enough pictures or enough finished to post in work logs yet, so here is the plan. I was inspired by a bunch of seemingly unrelated things at once that have driven me to get back into a lost passion, PC building and case modding. My first PC case was...

So I just recently got a PNY XLR8 1080 Ti and the thing is amazing. Gaming at FPS I've never seen before. However there is always that voice in the back of my head to push it further. I started to overclock the card and immediately hit a power wall. The card runs comfortable at 70C at 2Ghz with...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/302315399953?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Just bought one. It's a very long card but it should fit my case. Crossing fingers that it is as good as the rest. Only 2 slots instead of 2.5 like many other 1080ti's and triple fan design.

So after fighting through some weird instability issues I decided to update my MSI Mpower Max Z97 BIOS. Forum post pointed to the BIOS being the culprit and I was 9 versions behind. After getting the update I ran the windows installer and closed all programs and waited. Ten minutes later the...

Dear Case Labs owners, preferably the S8, is the case too tall to support something like the Corsair H110iGT? I see an option for a 140.2 top drop in and that would work but will the tubing reach the CPU. Some random Googling suggest the tubes are ~12inches long. My plan is to custom water cool...

Long time reader but infrequent poster finally giving in to the community for some assistance on a personal build. I build a lot of computers for work but it's been 8-9 years since I've built a system for myself and I want to put a lot of extra thought into it. Here is my dilemma: I don't...

Finally the wait is over (or at least until a retailer has one) msi.com/product/vga/R9_290X_LIGHTNING.html First review www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/msi_r9_290x_lightning_review/1

I've been running prime95 in blend mode for a few hours now for a stability test. I was checking my temps and felt really proud of my setup until I looked at the hardware monitor. Intel XTU reports a core temp of 51C, NZXT is reporting a water temp of 35C; however, I have six temps listed from...

I normally stroll around office depot while doing my laundry (Coin laundry is boring). And normally they have your casual business stuff and older hardware. So I was fairly shocked to see brand new Windows 8 based Toshiba laptops sitting there. One was running an AMD e-1 platform and felt...

You guys always have the best solution and I can't find another post on this so: I need someway to output mono sound from my Windows 7 laptop. If there is a cheap hardware solution, like an active or passive cable that works well, I am open to that. I know Windows 7 does not support mono...

Hello everyone, I'm about to hit 1000 WU and I have mainly been using my PS3 for the past few years. I just installed fah6 on my workstation and was wondering what type of work it should be doing given it's specs. I can dedicate 4-6 cores (Thuban) depending on time of day (each at 3.2Ghz) and I...

I don't normally ask for help, but when I do I trust your opinions. A PC I helped purchase as a gift for a friend a year or so ago seems to be dying a most unusual death and it is being a real trouble trying to figure out exactly what is going wrong. So let me list what happened and what I have...

Just a friendly warning to anyone out there looking on purchasing a new AM3+ board. I recently built another workstation for work, and I was tasked to build something comparable to my previous build (see signature) that used a Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5. That board has done well and I tried to get a...

Does anyone have experience using riser cards for higher end GPUs? I am planning on building another custom case and wanted to know if there is a downside to using an extended flexible riser card/cable. My biggest concern would be that the increased length from the PCIe slot would create some...

This card is released by powercolor and is claiming to have 2gb of memory, but it's only a 4850. Does this make sense to anyone or are the marketing people going overboard with this one? I'm in the market for a new video card(s) and all these options that are so close are still confusing me...

In PHPmyAdmin when I run the following line SELECT product.ProductID FROM product WHERE WineID= 1 && CaseQuantity=6 && BottleUsedID=1 I am happily given the result which is 1 However when I execute this sql query in php $sql = "SELECT product.ProductID FROM product WHERE WineID= ". $WineID...

When I use AMD Overdrive the target speed is the normal speed for my cpu 2.6ghz(5000X2 BE) but the actual speed is running at 2.2Ghz. I assumed this was the work of Cool and quiet, which is great normally, but I am trying to OC the processor and its keeping the speed down no matter what I change...
