Thanks for the reply. I plan on running 7 fans (3x140mm front intake, 1x140mm bottom intake, 1x140mm rear exhaust, and 2x120mm aio top exhaust) and like the convenience of adjusting the fans speeds on the front case panel switch. Plus I don’t want to route fan cables to the motherboard for...

Hello, I might need the community’s input on my question as I am getting contradictory answers on Reddit and YouTube. Question: The Silent Base 802 has a fan speed switch on front of the case which changes the speed of fans connected to the fan controller (hub). Unfortunately the fan...

Has anyone placed an order through Tiger Direct for a 3080 RTX? It appears you can place an order, they will ship it as soon as stock is available. I used to buy PC parts from Tiger Direct back in the days when they had a large presence like Newegg. Did anyone have any success in getting a...

Hello all, I am slowing selecting parts for my new build and decided on AMD 5900x with x570 Taichi motherboard. This pc is primarily for gaming. Can anyone suggest which DDR4 memory I should consider without breaking the bank (no more than $130, if possible). Considering 32 gb of ram...

After reading everyone’s feedback, I thinking I’m going to stick with my system for now and just replace the graphics card. I’m going to try to overclock it a bit more...maybe to 4.8 and see how it runs on my 4K tv. I will re-evaluate, see what amd has to offer and upgrade if need be.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll probably wait til AMDs new cpu announcement, read up on some benchmarks before I decide to overhaul the system or upgrade just the GPUs.

Hello everyone, I usually upgrade my gpu every other generation. I currently have a 6700k (overclocked 4.6) with a gtx 1080 and plan to game on my 4K tv (120 hz, g-sync) via hdmi 2.1. Do you think a gtx 3080 would be bottlenecked due to my older sky lake cpu at 4K resolution. My current...

I have OEM Vista....retail windows 7 upgrade (bought online at Microsoft store)

Hi: I have planning to upgrade mobo, gpu, cpu, and ram but keep the hard drive and everything else. Question is since I'm using the same hard drive am I still required to do a clean install of windows? Also, I have the window 7 upgrade version not the full version. Will I be able to...

I was wonder what you thought were on the 560ti 2 win for those running on single monitor (1900x1080 max res)....Its essential two 560 ti in one. They are 30% fasters than GTX 580 and cost about the same $500. The only downside is 1gb vram.

Ok...here are the specifications for the Alienware OEM: Alienware N1000P-00 1000W 24-pin ATX Power Supply General Features: Black color Output: 1000 Watt Input: 100 - 240V ~ 14.0A, 50/60 Hz Large Fan One (1) 24-pin ATX Connector Seven (7) Large Molex Connectors Four (4)...

Thanks for all your replies. I will write down the PSUs you listed and start shopping for the best deals. I originally intended to keep my 1000 watt OEM Alienware PSU (to save money) but the only probelm is I have four 6 pin connectors. I don't mind using a 6 to 8 pin converter as long as...

By the way...also running some a lot of fans and case lighting as I'm gutting an alienware area 51 case. Thanks!

Most likely want to buy from Tigerdirect or newegg As far as budget: best price/performance combo....nuthin too cheap but nuthin too extensive either..dunno...$100 to $150 if possible!

Hi: Would like some recommendations for a good power supply unit that will be able to handle i5 2500K and two 580 gtx SLI (gonna start with one and another later down the road) and couple of other things like optical drives, hard drive, etc. I need something with at least two 8 pin connector...
