    Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W

    I'm looking for a PSU to power my new build and I came across the Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W. I seems like a good value proposition at approx 900DKK here in Denmark as an alternative to Corsair og Seasonic PSUs in the 550-660W range. The reviews that I can find of the unit are generally...

    Node 304 / Nova cross compability (PSU / H2O-AIO)

    Hi all, I have begun researching parts for a SFF build within the next few months. Now I hope to transition the system to the Kimera Industries Nova once it's available, but until then I plan to build in the Fractal Design Node 304. This obviously limits me to mini-ITX motherboards and...

    mATX case idea 20L - does it already exist?

    I have been toying around with an idea for a mATX / mini-ITX case that would accept a closed loop cooler like the Corsair H105 and ATX PSU. I would go for a 20L case to qualify for the SFF tag, fortunately that doesn't seem to be an issue currently :) I haven't been able to find what i'm...

    Fractal Design Node 804, is it really SFF?

    I've been eyeing the Fractal Design Node 804, does anyone have any experience with the case? Specifically: Is it "small" form factor or is it just not ATX compatible? I would like to be able to have the PC on the desk as opposed to on the floor. How is the quality of the case? What...

    Discussion: 23" or 24" @ 3920x2160 - When?

    Just wondering. With all the current rumor talk of Apple focusing on "retina-like" displays for upcoming Mac, when do you all think we'll see this drip down to computer displays and made available at somewhat reasonable prices (sub $500)? For the record I'm dreaming of 23" or 24" displays @...

    Upgrade og new Build?

    I have my system as in sig. I am considering upgrading with an i2500K, Noctua C-14 (and some more letters), 8 GB of Memory, 120GB Crucial M4 SSD and Windows 7 but keep Case, PSU, GPU and drives. Good idea or bad idea? I mainly use this for games and BF3 is straining my computer.

    Hi all, Basically I have the system in my signature (just upgraded to the GTX460) and I've been wondering, what is my best bet for an upgrade path? I have been considering a new CPU so that I would at least go from 2 cores to 4, if I go that way I'll probably get a cheap quad like the...

    I have been looking to get some dedicated speakers for my PC since I'll be moving in two weeks and my PC will no longer be hooked up to my stereo then. I will use these for gaming mostly, maybe some light moviewatching if I'm too lazy to go into my livingroom and that's about it. The...

    Lapping for the lazy...

    I have considered lapping my CPU / HS with a Dremel using the polishing accessories. Now have anybody tried this? Is it adviceable? Am I just a sick puppy who needs to be put down? Or am I a pioneer pointing fellow lappers to the stars?

    32" LCD TV for PC gaming?

    I have been thiking a bit about this. Currently I game on a 22" Samsung screen and while I love it I keep pondering if the lower resolution and higher responsetime is acceptable considering that you can use relatively more AF and AA than on the 22" with the same card. Thoughts?

    Well I got into Windows at 3.6GHz but I'm not stable...

    As the title suggests I finally got into Vista at [email protected] on my E6600, here's a pic: Now this is while idling and my temps are kind of high. As soon as OCCT starts loading I crash and reboot, is this a voltage issue? I would think 1.5vCore in BIOS should be enough as I can get...

    Brave or stupid? Both? (Corsair XMS2 PC6400C4@366MHz3-3-3-9)

    Well. I am getting curious. After I have succesfully gotten my Corsair XMS2-PC6400C4 sticks to run 333MHz with 3-3-3-9 timings on 2.1V I'm wondering what it will take to make them go stable at 366MHz 3-3-3-9 timings. I have already established that it is more than 2.1V, I'm currently running...

    First time OC and question about Voltages.

    Basically I'm now in the process of OCing for the first time and I was wondering... I have locked the CPU Vcore at 1.3V but are there any other voltages that I should worry about setting at anything else but AUTO?

    Simple question to answer for those of you who have already played this game: How destructable are the surroundings in this game? While I'm well aware that I won't be able to take down an entire building (boy would that be fun) I'd really like to know if I can destroy lamps, furniture...

    XMS2 PC6400C4 3-3-3-9 at 333MHz FSB 1:1?

    I'm getting this ram and I was wondering if it would be feasable to run them at 333MHz and at 3-3-3-9 timings maybe with a small increase in voltage. If any of you have any experience in trying this (yes Redbeard, I'm looking at you too ;) ) then please tell me how you did this. If it can be...

    So, VISTA 32 or 64 bit version?

    Basically I'm lost here as I see that there will be both 32 and 64 bit versions of all Vista releases. What are the pros and cons of each? What should one choose provided they, like me, just want to game, watch movies, do a bit office applications and maybe a little photoshop? Thanks for any...
