1900x1200 16:10, shrug. I'm looking into H67 boards but know very little about current builds as this is my first since my current rig which is an x48 775...

So is there a point to this board (Z68) or should I go with something else for a SFF Gaming Rig? Suggestions?

So in other words, the board is fine if you don't care about benchmarking.

Im confused... So if I have a 2500K on this board and do a small OC to 3.7-4.0GHz it will not throttle unless I am artificially loading it with something like Prime95?

Trust.

So the Thermalright AXP-140-RT is the only HS I can find that will fit under 90mm (required for my case). It fits on the mobo but I'm wondering if it is unrealistic to expect this thing to properly cool a i5 2500K passively as I cannot fit a fan on it. For what it's worth this is my case...

That's a good point.

That's the smallest height I have seen yet and has a really good mounting system for fans as opposed to those clips I love to hate. Edit: Reviews seem to state it's a pretty horrible CPU cooler. I'll pass for now.

Abee Acubic T80

Trying to figure out what kind of CPU cooling I can fit on this thing. Unfortunately I'm limited to 90 MM of height and all the low profile coolers I can find seem to be too wide - hitting the GPU/RAM.

I ended up going with a 1.35 V 1600 Mushkin kit. I hope the low voltage will not cause a problem. I've only heard of 1.6V and above being an issue.

Thank you, I figured as much but wanted to make sure.

General question here. In your experience is it a poor choice to buy outside of the "tested" RAM list for your mobo? I need a RAM kit under a certian size, I found one but it isn't on the list provided by my mobo company as supported. Thank you!

Good + Cheap != Quality Sound. Fiio E7/E9.

So I'm a little confused. A few pages back some people posted about the A05NB with a new motherboard tray cut out and updated cable wiring holes sold from NewEgg; are they still selling this upgraded version? Now people are posting about an upgraded version with the mother board tray flipped...

I'll stick with my Beyerdynamic DT990 250 OHM from 05 and M-Audio AV40's pay less price for both than most of the systems in this thread and blow all your shit out of the water. Reviews like this are beyond missleading and just plain bad.

Cept they didn't make the majority of the PSU's that got such great reviews. I'm sorry but you buy audio gear from people who make audio gear just like you would for any product. It seems rather stupid to do otherwise and most of the data in this thread seems to back up my first point; these...

I'll save you all the read and just say M-Audio AV40's blow all of these out of the water. Why someone would want to buy a set of speakers from a crappy peripherals company like Logitech or a memory company such as Corsair is beyond me. Creative? LOL Klipsch is at least decent. This is...

Total waste. You cannot get OS's after Tiger I believe on PPC.

Is that why VZN refuses to wire my hometown with Fios? I live in fucking Boston, seed of the country, and I'm stuck with shitty ass Comcast.

Looking like someone took some old Filco boards out of the factory dumpster and rolled them around in Leprechaun Faerie Dust. No thanks Razer.

Steel case. >.<

I've been an EVGA fan for quite a while. Everyone raves about EVGA, they do have great customer service that I can attest to. Their cards on the other hand just seem generic to me, this isn't necessarily a downside. I recently needed an upgrade after my EVGA 9800 GTX died. I ended up getting an...

The XPower has better form factor than his underwear.

Good point. I run Ultimate and use most of the addons. Now that I think about it, he is less savy at computers and most likely won't use everything Ultimate has to offer.

Helping my friend build his first PC. As a noobie myself I wanted to post this here for feedback. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming/Web/Media. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~1100.00 USD 3) Where do you live? North East USA 4) What exact parts do you...

Just as a follow up for anyone who cares. Got the card, Galaxy GTX 460 Super OC works great. It is loud. I could not get it to run as hot as Kyle got it going in the [H] review. I baked it in my PC A05N and used furmark, it maxed out on me at 79C. This thing is a little beast.

PC A05NB. I'm trying to do a decent job with the wiring. The extra unused connectors are rather annoying and just get in the way. I thought about using the 6P to 2 Standard 4P Molex cable and using a Standard 4P Molex to SATA adaptor to power the HDD. But the fan controller is a Sunbeam...

Hello, I recently picked up a Seasonic x750. The PSU comes with a few cables that provide power to SATA drives or 4Pin Molex devices. These cables are split and come with 3 SATA connectors/3 Molex connectors. My system has one HDD requiring a SATA power cable and a fan controller that...

Exactly. I ended up going with a Super Clocked Version of the Galaxy GTX 460 1GB. I know I know, it's stupid to not overclock it yourself. But this OC comes with a warranty. I know I know Galaxy allows cards to be OC'd and RMA'd. Only to a certain extent and if the thing dies and you...

Really? I've only ever had EVGA and never had an issue with the card. I hear decent things about Galaxy, despite their cooler looking rather cheap.

I have a Benq G2400W so 1900x1200 16:10. Going to go with the EVGA or Galaxy 1GB. I will eventually move to an SLI capable board and will grab another.

Hello, My GTX9800 just died on me. Thinking about picking up a 1GB GTX460 from EVGA while I wait for the RMA from EVGA. Wondering if my other hardware is to old to use it effectively. Note I am thinking of moving on from my current mobo and cpu due to other non related issues so it may find a...

I have more dumb questions. Sorry! I bought a GUP Silent Drive HDD case for a 5' bay. I can't seem to figure out how to mount this and use a front bezel. Is it even possible? http://www.quietpcusa.com/Smart-Drive-Classic-Cooper-Hard-Disk-Drive-Enclosure---All-Copper-P281C44.aspx Does...

Sorry I thought I needed a P4 connector to 4 Pin Molex, because the Molex connectors that came with the PSU were packaged in a different box. :X

Really? All the hardware that I have encountered from them, be it packaged with a case or a seperate package of thmbscrews or the like, have been pretty shittastic.

Two questions: Any idea on a simple way to sleeve the internal power cord? Besides using that shitty Flex Wrap, can the prongs be removed from the plastic housing on one end? I'm afraid to break it. I seem to have stripped the threading on one of the power supply face plate case holes, any...
