is there an updated version of this??

I found an easy fix for the airflow problem on this case that costed around 15 dollars. I used magnets, hollow wall anchors, motherboard standoffs and a few pieces of wood I had handy to make it work. Check the album so you can see what I did and feel free to ask questions. You will notice that...

Tsumi, thanks for all the input given and helping with my learning experience. I could be wrong but I have the front 240 rad blowing in (heat stays in), top 360 out and back fan out, wouldn't make more sense to blow all the rads to the outside so none of that hot air stays inside the case when...

For anyone interested, I am loving the system performance. A caveat to have is that it performs awesome when the covers on the H440 are off, but once I slap them on this temperature becomes way hotter than you'd expect from a loop. Mine hit 73 on CPU and 60'isb on GPU... too hot for me.

AS5 is outdated? I had no idea, but then again my last build was 5 years ago. I have been playing on laptops since then but I really get tired of the thermal throttling on them, no matter how fancy of a laptop I get the heat dissipation cant keep up with them. Thanks for the info Tsumi.

Starting to put it together, will update more as i go. I am posting so many pictures because when I started building mine I could not find anything that showed the step by step, much less explain what took place. Your first water loop is kind of overbearing when you don't know much about it and...

You are very correct!!!! thanks for catching that :P

Wanted to do a quick update on my build. It seems when you do water cooling, you gotta go all out or not do it LOL. check the link of what I ended making http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pxpfZL Here is a quick diagram of the loop and parts used. http://imgur.com/lsuzvVP As soon as I get all parts...

thank you for your input and suggestions. I know i can always count on good word from people in this place :D

thanks for this link :D

I am planning on building a system but I am running into issues when it comes to choosing a water cooling solution (new to it, have read a lot, but not sure what to pick since the choices are so extensive) There are 3 components that I want to cool in a loop, mobo, CPU and GPU. I have room in...

anything i should be concerned about with the overclocking? maybe a good list to know how far to push it? I picked up a MX279H and it looks just like my built in but bigger lol

Currently I play from a laptop MSI GT70 Pro Dominator 890 with the GTX 880M on it. It has an HDMI 1.4, a VGA, and a 1.2 miniDisplay Port. Claims to support 4k. After two months of looking at monitors I have narrowed it down to the following 3: PB287Q http://www.asus.com/Monitors/PB287Q/...

I have a toshiba x205-sli6 as shown below. It only has two intakes of air, one for the GPU's and another one for the CPU. Other than that no more holes where air can go in to cool it. I already tried the NXZT Cryo LX and it only drops it by 2-3 degrees. Regular browsing gives me around...

self-bump ...come on, i know there is a lot of smart brains in here XD

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be on the VGA forum or in here since it addresses cooling of a video card so move it as you see fit. Recently bought a new motherboard that takes both PCI-E and AGP video cards. its the model ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 LGA 775 from here...

How did you change it? I dont see it on mine, i'd settle for just SPDIFout....cant stand the stereo deal anymore on vista. BTW, i have SoundMAX 4 XL with AudioESP audio subsystem* using the Analog Devices AD1985 codec* on an INTEL D865PERL

bump again

anybody figured it out?

yeah, 4 pin power connector coming from the supply is in place. IT does indeed get very hot, I tried touching the one on my sister's computer and it it warm to the touch but not the the point where it is intolerable to keep your finger on it like on mine.... Honestly, i don't care to if I...

quick question... is the ICH5 chipset supposed to get too hot?? hot enough to burn ur hand if you touch it?? :D I just touched it and IT IS HOT!! my mobo then?

I believe i plugged the front usb ports into the "speaker" and "INFO" pins........ After that my motherboard just stopped working. Hoping that it was just my power supply I checked and it was bad, replaced it, and got the fans and everything on the MOBO to work, except, I get no video output...

yes, it actualy is a 2500KS - 00MJB0........so its just a sensor??? i am for real wondering about this thing.... anything i can do about fixing it?

UPDATE: i put enough BIG fans properly placed to know that i am cycling at least 80CFM trhu that case..... The temperature on the WD Caviar drive dropped to 46 on standby, and the secondady Seagate to 28..... also my CPU temprature noticed a decrease on temp two BUS temp are steady on...

thank you sir :) was gettin worried since the seagates run at low 30'ish :) just wished the WD was that way

i cant get my WD under 46 with a fan blowind sidewasy on it so the air run from side to side on it........it did used to run at 60'ish thogh..... any advice?

well... i just happened to notice two days ago that some WD HD's do run above 55 with open case.....like gosh, when i found out that the drive has been running at over 64 celsius i was like o_O!?????? so i put the biggest fan on them...it only helped to bring it to 52 when idle, and if i...

How hot is too hot for a hard drive? I just realized that some hard drives get very hot. But how hot is too hot?? I am trying that freeware "speedfan" and it seems that my main WD250GB Caviar drive is running hot according to the software. Its steady at 62 Celsius, with a red ligh on it, and...

thank you much gentleman, based on our answeres i just went ahead and bought a pci tongith and its working :)

Excuse the ignorance. Is it possible to run two video cards? one PCI and an AGP at the same time to do dual monitors?? I have an AGP all in wonder ATI, and i have been using my tv as a second monitor. I would like to add a third monitor to my setup, is it pausible to add a PCI (not...

bump plz

router is a netgear WGR614 .v6 SPI firewall is disabled, ready to respond to pings, and even set a DMZ for it. I have tried using my actual computer's mac address as the router's mac address, updeted to the latest software, unistalled and reinstalled it, and others. WIndows firewall is...

I am having a weird problem when browsing the net with either firefox or IExplorer. It seems that after loading several websites the browser just "hangs" , quit loading completely, and after about 30 seconds or so it loads like ZOOM! I have checked for firewalls, they are all down. I even...
