Greetings True Believers! Lets go on a journey together. Join me as I plan and execute an amazing computer for myself and my family that will go by the name of “Excelsior!” in honor of the great Stan Lee. To live up to its name, it must be something truly exceptional. My vision for Excelsior...

WTB 2 x NVIDIA GTX 1070's Prefer same make/model with original coolers. Google Pay/Paypal etc.

I recently purchased the popular HGST 4TB Deskstar NAS and I was in the process of backing some files up on the drive today. I happened to put my hand on the top of the drive and it is very hot to the touch. It is not to the point of burning my hand or fingers, but it is seriously hot. Is...

Hello folks! I'm always experimenting with hardware and building custom cases and whatnot, so I have a lot of odds and ends building up in my office. Also, I've typically been running my office computer out in the open since I am always tinkering, but that isn't working out anymore with my...

So tomorrow marks the launch of Dells Alienware Alpha "Console" as they are calling it. It is very small, it comes with a range of hardware options and user-replaceable parts, and it has its own GUI. The GPU is apparently an NVIDIA 860M and it is not replaceable. It definately performs better...

Hello! I am very much a fan of mATX and ITX systems as slim as possible. As a matter of fact, I have even designed and built a few custom cases for the form factors. However, as it happens, I need a case for an ATX (GASP!) system. Having had the freedom of designing my own cases previously, I...

Introduction Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by! Recently, I had a very unique and exciting opportunity present itself. Today, I would like to share the details of the experience with my fellow enthusiasts! Living in northern California comes with many perks (like amazing...

Hey guys. My current system has 4 sticks of the "magic" samsung low voltage ddr3 ram that truly is "magic." However, it appears it has become pretty rare. I am now on a quest for an 8GB DDR3 stick that is less than 39mm tall and can operate at 1866mhz Cas 8-9 (preferably with low voltatge)...

Chose the design of my next scratch build! It's been almost a year since I started the original ThreeZero Project, and it's time to take it to the next level! Based on the information provided, which design would you like to see built most? Slim 2013 will be designed with the intent to...

Hello [H]orde! When it comes to your computer chassis, how important is it to you that the case has room for 45mm and 60mm thickness radiators? According to http://martinsliquidlab.org/, going from a 30mm 360 radiator to a 60mm 360 radiator typically only allows for 11 more watts of heat...

Hello, I am interested in water cooling a 4770k and either two 780's or two Titans (All Overclocked). According to the [H] reviews, the 4770k overclocked to 4.8ghz leads to a system usage of 183 watts under load. Also, the 780 overclocked uses about 360W. The Titan overclocked uses about 406W...

Hello fellow [H] forum members! I am in the process of refining the design of a scratch case build. I currently have the design for the case cover down to 3 choices and I would like your opinions and feedback. Let me know which is your favorite and what you think about the designs. Thanks...

Welcome everyone! Thank you for stopping by to see my work in progress. What is the ThreeZeroProject? Necessity is the mother of invention. About a year and a half ago, I was traveling a lot for work and spending a lot of time going through airports and staying in hotel rooms. As I sat there...

I need a quiet 80 mm fan that can put out at least 20cfm. The fan will be controlled by my motherboard. 80mm fans don't seem to be reviewed often anymore with the popularity of 120mm fans and larger, so I could really use your expert opinions. I am now trying to decide between 3 80mm fans. In no...

I need some help on this one guys. A project I am working on uses an Athena Power 400W power supply and it is by far the loudest part in the system. It uses a 40mm Yate Loon D40BM-12C that makes a ridiculous amount of noise under a heavy load. I am looking for a solution to adaquately cool the...

[H]ello! A build I am working on has some space constraints that limit me to a single fan setup on my closed-loop cooler. I will be using a Gentle Typhoon AP-15 as the fan and I will be overclocking an i7-3770k to at least 4.6 ghz. A push or pull configuration would be possible on either...

Hello ladies and gentlemen! A project I am currently working on has limited dimensions. I would like to know the performance of the Corsair H80 in a single fan (push or pull) configuration and possibly with slim 120 fans (push/pull 1 or 2). The system I will be working with will be running...

A build/design I am working on requires a VERY small, but powerful PSU. I have been searching high and low with moderate success and could really use some [H] input. My needs include powering the following components: Motherboard: mITX, mATX Processor: Intel i7 2600k (overclocked to 4.4-4.8)...
