I really wish this would make it on Kickstarter but I agree it needs alot more marketing work to happen.

Bought it!

I could have a really great deal and get the Formula 60 dollars cheaper than the Z170 Deluxe. Should I buy it?

Thanks for the tips. What about X99? Since I also do 3D modeling / video editing, I suppose I'd benefit from the extra cores? I've been thinking about Intel Core i7-5820K + Asus STRIX X99 GAMING combo. What do you think?

My older motherboard is showing signs of dying (USB-headers not working, random shut downs...) so the time has come to upgrade to a Skylake build. I will be receiving Asus Strix 1080 in few weeks so I still have time to decide on the mobos. CPU will be 6700K most likely. I will be mainly gaming...

I work at retail company and I was able to bring my card to our RMA service staff. I forgot to mention they replaced it with MSI Twin Frozr 980 because 780 wasn't available anymore so I am more than happy with the outcome.

Update: RMAd the card and got MSI Twin Frozr back the same day. Gonna play Fallout 4 now :)

So I was casually playing Fallout 4 for maybe 1 hour when my computer suddenly shut down. It seemed it wasn't powering up properly anymore so I restarted it. Suddenly smoke starts coming out around the GPU area, then I see sparkles and small flame rising out of my case. It started to smell...

I'm happy with it. I must say that I am sometimes having difficulties with the Bluetooth connection of it on Mac but not on Windows (10). Weight seems fine as well. I used to have Razer Deathadder 2013 and I didn't like it at all. My hand got tired and it started hurting quite quickly. It...

I have found no issues playing with this mouse. I've played Fallout 4, WoT, Witcher 3, GTAV, Star Wars Battlefront, CS and numerous other games with it. For casual gaming it works really well.

I ended up buying EVGA Supernova P2

I can hear it all the time. Even when I have removed HDD and GPU. I must stress that the noise it generates is not very loud but since it is high pitched, I can hear it. Other owners of this Snow unit say that it should be dead quiet, so not even very tiny whine, I believe? I have RMA the...

I'd describe it more like a high pitched buzzing sound. I'm not sure if am willing to fix the PSU myself especially thinking about how much I've paid for them. They simply shouldn't have coil whine.

Hmm, never checked them out really

Thanks for the feedback. So I'm torn between EVGA and Super Flower...

I had the chance to try two PSUs, Seasonic Snow Silent 1050W and Seasonic Platinum 860 W. They both have some mild coil whine and as I try to make my setup as quiet as possible, this won't do. My case is FT05 and I tested it without HDD, only case fans (AP182) and Thermalright Macho (rev. B)...

How's the noise? I got mine two days back. The only distinct noise I can hear is the very quiet coil whine. Other than that, very very quiet.

That's horrible :( LG's quality control seems like a joke

LG 34UM95-P Is this amount of backlight bleed acceptable for a monitor priced like this? I don't think so

+1 this

Got the case and loving it so far except cable management issues. Quick question about HS to be installed: Noctua NH-D15 Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E Thermalright Macho Rev.B Main target it quietness, not overclocking (CPU 2500K)

Alcohol is the solution.

I built mine in Node 304. Three WD Reds inside It's very quiet so it's sitting in TV shelf now.

I received i3 Broadwell version yesterday (NUC5i3RYK) and I gotta say I love the aesthetics but I am disappointed with the fan noise. I own Haswell i3 as well and it, too, has annoying fan noise. Gotta try to fiddle with the fan settings in BIOS. Otherwise I'm gonna return this.

Hi Zap, Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I got confused with Pentium and Haswell there. Of course it has to be the Haswell line since it has a 1150 socket... My budget is around 250 euros max (around 338 US dollars). Both the MoBos I mentioned support the RAM I already have. You are...

Hello folks, I'm about to build a new SFF system which would work as a file/media and virtual machine server. For the media part I'm going to use Couchpotato, Sickbeard and Plex server. Other goals include: quiet, low idle power as it will be idle 95% of the time I most likely won't do any...

I need a VERY fast reply: I can get the ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP 3GD5 for 390 dollars. Should I pull the trigger or just wait?

Thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it! Yes, I mean 3D games like WoT, Skyrim, Crysis etc. (and hopefully The Division in the future!). I'm not in a hurry since I haven't even had much time lately to play any games. What about noise then? I want it to be very quiet in idle but of...

Hello guys, I'm about to upgrade my GPU to be able to play 3D games in 2560x1440 resolution quite smoothly. My budget is max $530 (or 400 euros here in Finland). I've been browsing forums here and there and it seems that I should wait for few months until the new Radeon cards are out so it...

Hello [H]all, I bought this monitor and now I'm wondering wheter this is "normal" IPS glow or does this justify me get a new one? Completely dark room, brightness is at about 54, sRGB mode. (dont mind the red dot somewhere in the middle of the screen, that's my old camera. The bright white...

I've got the same case (Node 304) and I can only recommend it if space is crucial and you want a small, portable chassis for your NAS. For me the main reason was that I live in relatively old(ish) house that doesn't have power plugs everywhere around the house and the only way I could access the...

Ok, yesterday I went and bought the case (Define Mini). First impressions: coming from low cost cases before, this is a huge improvement! I have never had a cable management area behind the mobo before so this was definitely a plus. I don't care whatever people have been telling about the...

Thanks for the input! After going through heaps of reviews, I've decided I'll pick a Fractal Design case. Now here's the question: now that I've really put my thoughts in this, I don't think I need a full ATX tower case. So I'm trying to decide between R4 and Define Mini. As for the other...

I am about to buy a new case but I can't decide which of these would be the best for me. My usage will be casual gaming, 3D-modeling, graphics design. The case will be on the floor so it needs to have good dust filters. Most likely I will cool the CPU with air only. My current options so far...

Thanks for the info! Damn, here I was hoping I could've put a mini-itx mobo there and have a very small NAS :D

Hey, what small case is that on the right? Looks like a 4-bay NAS?

Hello folks, I've been looking for a very little, minimalistic case to replace my current huge OrigenAE S16V as a HTPC. My main points are: a) reduce power consumption (thus keeping it on 24/7) b) have it small so I can carry it around IF I need c) fit a 3,5" HDD inside (this is...

Hi all, I'm about to buy a used HP W2408H. It's 3 years old and if the monitor's speakers are being used (volume level > 0) there can be heard a slight buzzing noise, especially when there's lots of white color on the screen. Now the question is, how much would you pay for it? Is 200e (275...

If you don't play you might consider BenQ EW2420/EW2430. I'm currently waiting mine (EW2430). Also, check out my thread for some ideas Budget monitor for webdesign 65% + games 35%
