Why not a Seasonic Plat? Have had two in almost 24/7 service for over a year now and never an issue with either. Cool and very quiet. One's an 860 and one's a 660. Got burned on an Enermax Liberty with the non-conductive adhesive that became conductive....and as someone mentioned, once...

Yep. Seasonic built and continues to build excellent power supplies.....maybe not quite to Delta standards, but darned close.

Don't know what size they are, but one oddball type is a countersunk flat head phillips screw of a smallish diameter and fine thread. Not used everywhere, but enough that it'd be a drag to try to re-tap all those holes, but that's always an option. (Use a few screws as sacrificial "taps" to...

I've got a TJ07 and Silverstone used a variety of screw sizes throughout the case; they're not all one size, unfortunately.

I'd first look at what resolution you'd be playing. A lower res. like 1680 x 1080 would be served well by a 7750--$85-$100 current price range on Newegg, AR. Playing at a higher res. would be more comfortable with a 7770---$100-$120 current price range on Newegg, AR.

Excellent performance and the best value gpu, bar none.

My first was an Epson with an 8088 processor, 640K memory....forget the model. I do remember the speed/turbo button that would take it from 4.77MHz to 8MHz. Think it originally had DOS 3.something on it and I also remember upgrading that thing's OS...DOS 6 to DOS 6.2 to 6.22. Those were the days.

My observations about this drive.....I've deployed four so far over the last year and have yet to have any issues from any of them. 2 are installed in laptops, 2 are installed in desktops...one of which is a point-of-sale system and gets 12 hrs. use 7 days a week. That one has been in service...

Completely depends on your local MicroCenter. The one I shop, Cambridge/Boston, has a pair of AsRock socket 1155 ITX boards in stock, the H77M and the Z77E. I've shopped a few other MC's, such as the two in Atlanta, the one in Fairfax, VA, and the one in Rockville, MD, and the product...

His power supply, while an OCZ, is probably one of OCZ's better units and definitely not crap or low quality.

My H100 is chugging along perfectly. My gpu fan is the loudest thing in my case, the crappy Corsair 200mm front case fan in my 650D case is second. Cannot hear the pump on the H100 at all....and it's been in use for two months.

Interesting read. Could have major implications if fully developed....or if it can be developed to functional chips.

Not surprising at all given its core count and anticipated performance. Haswell can't arrive soon enough.

No, not a useless question. How well a particular video card works depends, in part, on what detail settings you choose and a lot on what resolution you're using. While a 7770 does indeed work quite well at 12x10 resolutions, you wouldn't expect the same frame rates from a resolution like...

Are your power supplies the Liberties with the brown fixing caulk inside vs. the usual white stuff? If so, that may be your problem. Enermax used a caulk to fix the various pieces internally that ended up turning conductive over time, essentially shorting out parts of the ps's...

What I'd look into is first, hit up a Radio Shack or the like and buy a can of circuit board cleaner and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, at least 95% pure. Disassemble the entire computer, let dry for a couple of days. Now, you're going to be left with residue from the water...

$250 is really, really tough. But, here's what I'd do today if I had to build an extreme cheap computer...... (Final price includes any deductions from rebates.....) Intel G540, retail boxed, from SuperBiiz for $38.24 shipped USPS Priority Mail (Coupon code DADSRULE for 15% off price)...

And therein lies the problem. Once you cut the tubing, you've automatically introduced air into the system....in at least having an empty radiator you'll have to fill and purge. So, how do you purge the air from the now opened, once closed system without having to add in a reservoir or T-line?

Sure it would......24-pin ATX board connector, split 4+4-pin EPS board connector.....the rest is also standard. Damned lot of SATA connectors on that ps.

As the others have said....yes. I've got the same setup, well----ran the same setup with an OC'd 2600k and dual 7970's----on an HX850 and had absolutely no problems. The AX850 should be equally as stout, if not better given the OEM for it is "better"......Seasonic for the AX vs. CWT for the HX.

Well, I've been WC'ing for years......latest setup was with a Thermochill 120.3 rad, dual DDC2 pumps, a Koolance 370 cpu block, GT 1800 fans. But I moved my setup into a mATX case, a PC Labs QMicra V2, and had just no room to reassemble the above pieces inside. So, I bought one of the H100...

I'd still buy an Asus board six times before I'd buy one MSI board. Having had to use both Asus's and MSI's RMA depts. over the years, I'll use Asus unless forced with a gun to my head to buy an MSI.

Do NOT TRUST software readings of your voltages. Your computer would not run, much less boot, at a voltage of +7V on the +12V rail, pure and simple.

I'm sorry, but if you'll never buy a product again from a company that had an item fail under warranty, you're certainly going to run out of car companies before your driving days cease. Such bombastic statements, yet such simple mindedness. Of course products fail...they're made by man, so...

Yeah, right....as if Nvidia has never had driver problems in the past. Oh wait, they have.... Truth of the matter is, if one isn't a Fanboi idiot, one must admit both camps have had their driver problems, like drivers reshaping cooling fan speed curves so badly the cards overheat. But only...

Wife's computer crapped out yesterday. Hard drives appear and disappear, sometime it'll boot, sometimes it won't see one or both of her hard drives. Figuring it's in the SATA controller of the Gigabyte P55 motherboard as all her other parts, incl. the hard drives, check out as working on...

Anyone notice this post at B3D forums? As in it's funny....... http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1539215&postcount=47

Still is stupid to have OCP functions available only through drivers instead of at the hardware level, so you're not dependent upon having the "right" drivers. But guess cutting corners is just the norm these days for some companies.

Then you don't understand anything about power supplies or their perceived or tested quality. Efficiency has absolutely no relation to build quality, DC output quality (of which ripple/noise is a distant second to voltage regulation, imho), or any other metric of DC output you care to blather...

Not at all....makes no difference, as long as you can mount it.

Then you really ought to read some specific testing of YL's sold by Petra's and other resellers, like Vapor's testing over at XS. Was very revealing....... Section talking specifically about the YL fans..... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2668923&postcount=6 Entire...

Some dude's having mega problems with BFG. Ought to read his rant. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2081671

You really don't understand amps vs. watts, do you? You're considering an Ultra X3 600W, which puts out only 432W or 36A on the +12V rail and dissing the Corsair HX520 which puts out 480W or 40A on its +12V rail? That Ultra cannot compete in any way with the Corsair. And the only reason the...

i7 920 D0 @ 4GHz @ 1.28V Asus Rampage II Gene 6GB Corsair Dominator @ 1600 8-8-8-24 @ 1.64V Watercooled---Watercool HK 3.0 cpu block, Swiftech NB block, DDC2 pump w/XSPC top, Thermochill 120.3 rad Idle temp----34C Load Temp--56C (OCCT-LinX)

But there is something to be said about buying twice the amount you will max out on full load during gaming, etc., since power supplies tend to run at their most efficient at 50-60% of rated capacity. So, if you're pulling like 375W at full load, running a 450W power supply is running that...

Well, I got just over $520. And to think I'd thought it was going to be $2.50 or some such nonsense. Guess I was wrong.......now this'll be a nice start to my new upgrade to an i7 system.

Too bad that PCP&C doesn't manufacture any of their power supplies at all. While they may massage the OEM designs/platforms they use as the basis for their power supplies, they are not made by PCP&C, as we all know. And while PCP&C was once at the pinnacle of power supplies, they've been...

What's more ironic is that the certain power supply seller that you pointed out that pushes the "multiple rail power supplies are the work of the devil" FUD themselves sold a 1Kw turbo cooled tri-rail power supply that was so poorly engineered that it caused multiple problems when used. Hint...

What's really ironic is this..........go to the link below (it's the EU Community Trademark search service, for searching who is/has trademarked whatever...) and type in Aquatuning. CTM-ONLINE - Trade mark consultation service - Basic You'll come up with no one owning that trademark in the...

Since each rail on the HX1000 is capable, and able, to deliver 40A, or 480W, of power, I really doubt you're going to overload much by putting one card on +12V1 and the other on +12V2..............
