    Cooler suggestions water/air

    I will be running Gskill RipjawX 2x4gb and an i5 4690k. I don't care for the huge coolers and would like it to be as quiet as possible because I'll have 2 pcs in the same room. The Noctua's are a little pricey for me. I was looking at the AC freezer i11 and 13 because their website claims they...

    Cooler suggestions water/air

    Trying to keep my new build cool and quiet. Wondering if I should go for a Corsair H55 or save a few bucks and get a quiet air cooler like an Artic Cooling Freezer i11. Not planning on overclocking and I'm using a Nanoxia DS4 here is a sample setup with watercooler...

    Windows 7 Student license question

    So other than saying I'm "not allowed to use it anymore" they won't actually stop me from using it?

    Windows 7 Student license question

    Thanks. I didn't know if they went out of their way to cancel those types of licenses. I would think the cracked versions of their software would be more of a concern. But I guess that's why they are migrating to the cloud. I guess i'll have to snag a copy of office 2010 too. I wait to see what...

    Windows 7 Student license question

    I'm doing a computer build for my girlfriend. She used to go to a university that offered Window 7 Professional to students for $14.95. She transferred last semester to a different school and still has access to her old student account and can still purchase from the computer lab. They make you...

    mATX build Quiet PSU RM-series?

    Doing 2 builds in a http://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-Controllers/dp/B00DSFEQKY and there is a pretty good sale on the Corsair RM550 wondering if this would work well and what the opinions are on these PSU's

    Best 970 for quiet & cool system.

    Thanks I didn't know they made something like that. Do you if you cant make the fans on the MSI spin slower rather than completely off? I'm sure the fans at a couple hundred rmps wouldn't be audible and could keep temps down better.

    Best 970 for quiet & cool system.

    I am going to be using a single card and 2 ssd's and hopefully a water cooler for cpu(not sure what will fit similar to the picture I linked h55?). I believe I saw in a review that there are also holes on the bottom to mount an ssd on the inside-bottom of the case between the psu and hdd cages.

    Best 970 for quiet & cool system.

    Yeah the Nanoxia DS4 is almost exactly the same as the Fractal Mini except the Nanoxia has a removable front filter and you can remove more of the HDD cages (I plan on removing all but the very bottom one) The bottom 3 cages on the Fractal Mini aren't removable. This is what I am hoping to do...

    Best 970 for quiet & cool system.

    So far the MSI is looking the best. I don't do very strenuous gaming, mostly mmo's and moba's so the hybrid fan mode might be good. I wonder if when the fans kick on they start going crazy trying to cool the card fast?

    Best 970 for quiet & cool system.

    I'm worried with a cooler designed like that it will blow the hot air around inside of the case rather than helping move the air out.

    Doing a build in a Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 http://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-Controllers/dp/B00DSFEQKY Looking for the best card to keep my case quiet and cool. I know there's tons of different cooler designs coming out.

    Quiet build Nanoxia DeepSilence4

    Wasn't really looking to do the form myself. The Nanoxia DS4 its almost identical to the Fractal Mini except the Nanoxia has removable front filters and more of the drive cages are removable. It is also cheaper. Now I have to find a gtx 970 that will remove heat from the case and not just blow...

    Quiet build Nanoxia DeepSilence4

    Just got a good deal on two i5-4690k so I looking to start a new build for my girlfriend and myself. I have been disappointed with my SG05 and the noise so I'm looking to get a slightly larger and quieter case. This is where I ran across the Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 case. Has anyone had any...

    Broadwell desktop?

    Broke down and bought a i5-4690k for 195$ free ship at Tigerdirect. To good of a deal to pass up since I don't have a Microcenter in my area. Now to wait for the GTX 960's or 970's to come in October hopefully.

    Broadwell desktop?

    Makes no sense why Broadwell wouldn't be coming around Christmas if Skylake isn't coming until 2H of 2015. Since it's a die shrink a motherboard for a Haswell refresh won't support Broadwell I assume? Also I have no use for Haswell-E and the expensive ddr4.

    Broadwell desktop?

    Has anyone found an recent news on the Broadwell desktop release date. Everything I find is about Broadwell M or Skylake. Been trying to hold out for an i5 or entry i7 Broadwell chip hoping to be able to time it with the Nvidia gtx 970 release for my next PC. Thanks!

    mATX case help.

    Not bad but it would probably still be louder than I would prefer with the 92mm fans, lack of cable management options and sound dampening.

    mATX case help.

    Looking for something a little larger and quieter than my SG05. I have been looking at the Fractal Design Define Mini but it has 2 flaws. First I would like to be able to remove both HDD cages but the bottom one isn't removable and the second problem which is a deal breaker for me is there are...

    Dead pixel line, New disp time

    Having a hard time deciding but I am leaning toward a Benq BL2410PT now if shipping isn't that much from NCIX. Was also looking at the Asus VG248QE, is there a TN panel that outpreforms the rest? I was thinking the VA panel of the BL2410PT would be a good compromise between a TN and IPS but was...

    Monitor suggestions, Eyestrain help!

    Well I would say I get the most discomfort during gaming greater than an hour. And also some discomfort during the day but I know that is due to the sun being to bright, need drapes or something. So I am guessing this would leave a 120hz monitor as my best bet? Aim for a deal on some of the...

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    I was thinking the Msi twin frozr cooling option was looking like the best bet. I don't know if I can wait for the amd 7 series stuff in my price range to be released. I won't be able to afford anything they are releasing in their first wave.

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    Sorry a 3 slot card wouldn't fit, and that is pretty expensive too. I guess I will have to try a dual fan gpu card in either the gtx 560 or amd 6850/70 I don't know if anyone has personal experience with any of the dual fan cards in this bracket and can vouch for them?

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    Yeah, I was looking into the 550ti and unfortunately I falls behind the 460. Look at the difference in the exhaust between nvidia and amd. Nvid http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625 Amd http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 I think...

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    Yeah my case has the vent holes positioned in front of the video card fan. So its pulling fresh air. The psu is also exhausting air from inside the case. and there is a 120mm fan at the front. The only solution I can think of is a dual fan card. I might have to jump down to a 6850. As for...

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    See I need a card that I can game with. I think one of the major problems is how limited the exhaust holes are on the back of the 6870 cards. They are impeded by the dual dvi ports and/or fancy writing on the metal, in this case, "xfx." I'm really trying to avoid switching cases and power supply.

    Quiet/Coolet gaming card?

    I choose the case to try something new and fun. Since building computers is a hobby I figured I would try something new. And not having to deal/look at a huge case is what I was going for.
