didn't realize silverstone started making wastebaskets. Cool now I can get one to match my ft02;)

Oh ok understand now. Did you try enabling C1E in bios?? The way I understand it is speedstep lowers your multiplier, but C1E lowers your voltage. Try that and see if it has the effect you're looking for

So what exactly are you trying to accomplish then? Care to elaborate?

the scythe kama bay won't work without a bit of modding. Tried using one I had from a old build but there are these tabs that jut out in the 5 1/4" bay that interfere with the kama bay. The mod would be simple involving only bending the small tabs in the case or cutting away small sections of...

i7 930's are going for $199 at microcenter and I don't think it'll get any cheaper than that for a while. Only catch is its an in-store only deal. That being said you might as well wait to buy your setup since the x68 chipset should be coming out soon.

Speedstep lowers your multiplier on your cpu when it's at idle or low load to save you electricity. So if I understand you correctly, you want to lower the vcore to 1.27v at 3.4ghz correct? Then all you have to do is go into your bios and set ur vcore to 1.27v, save settings, then exit. Then...

Have you checked out evga's offerings?? I'm currently running a vanilla x58 sli mb w/ a i7 920 d0 at 3.8ghz on air, could probably push 4.0+ghz easily but with summer coming I don't see the point right now. It might not have the bells and whistles of usb 3.0 and sata III support, but what it...

Was wondering if anyone else with the ft02 notice oil spewing from the included golf blade fan?? Was tooling around inside my case and noticed a buildup of a mineral oil type material around the inside frame of the fan. I see no other possible source of this oil besides it being leaked by the...

Sounds like a ram issue to me. So are you stable at stock clocks with ur ram running at spec? Also might wanna run memtest on your ram to see if thats the issue.

I currently have a pair of gtx 275 in sli on my evga x58 sli mb in a ft02. Was initially going to run the second gfx card on the third pci-e slot, but I didn't like that it would cover the debug led. So I decided to just use the first two slots instead. I was worried that the first card would...

From what I've read Corsair's hx line has higher efficiency and is superior to their tx line. Also +1 for the 850hx. Better to have a bit more headroom in a psu, be it for future upgrades or running at lower loads(thus prolonging the life of the psu). On that note, I currently run: i7 920...

Did you raise your cpu vtt(uncore) to be 0.5v of your vdimm? If not you are risking damage to your cpu. With such a modest overclock you should be able to leave all voltages besides cpu vtt and vdimm on auto. Also try setting the timing on the ram manually in the bios, your ram's spec calls...

It does exceed the edge of the mb by about 1/4"-3/8"

Well since you have reported the fraudulent charges to your bank and you're off the hook, let them handle the investigation. Had someone swipe my cc number after only using it once at this one gas station, reported it to the bank and let them know who I suspected. Well they told me they'd look...

Would something like this not solve your problem

Was hoping corsair's next case would be a bit smaller in dimensions; not quite a full tower, but bigger than a midtower. This looks like they took out some nice features for a lower more mainstream pricepoint. With the 800d going for as low as $224, this should slot in at about $180 once its...

I meant when it came to cooling the hdd's, thought for sure the full coverage of the 180mm fan would keep the hdd's cooler.

Kiger, thanks for testing the cases. Very interesting numbers indeed, actually very surprised the 120mm fan did better than the stock setup. And those hdd temps in your p50 are amazing. Glad it all worked out for the best for you.

Just curious, but what did your temps end up at? And what was the vcore?

+1 for trying realtemp or hwmonitor is another good one. There's something wrong with those temps and that vcore. It can't be .94v even at at stock speeds I don't think.

Maybe something like the bz-502 in an exhaust configuration would work for you.

I have the same board and the noctua nh12p fits no problem. With 2 fans on the nh12p its a tight fit with the vrm heatsink, but fits nonetheless.

Got the ft02 recently and i must say its pretty damn solid and would take quite the drop to deform the case. But seeing as how ups likes to treat packages who knows. kiger, did you try having the 180mm fan to cool your hdd bay? From your pics it doesn't look like the 120mm fan gives the hdd...

Looks nice and simple, though what I'm really interested in are those thumbscrews for the standoffs. Ne one know where I can get some of those?
