I have a Intel Core i7 975 Extreme processor that I RMA'd with Intel about 8-10 months ago. It has then sat in my daughters PC and been on FB/web surfing duty since. Considering a 920 is more than what she needed to do the minimal web surfing and emails, I removed the 975X and am putting it up...

I have the LEPA 1600W PSU, it does not use the standard PSU connectors at the PSU end, the component end is easy. What I am trying to do is find out where I can locate some connectors that will work at the PSU end so I can build custom cables for it, the issue is that most PSU connectors you...

This is the official start of the next Frank N Stein upgrade! Originally I had hoped to start this thread based on a new case design I was working on to house Frank's "badness" in a single case solution as opposed to his external ERM cooling solution still. This case is still in discussion...

I am sure what I want to do is not impossible, it just probably would take a much smarter person than I that knows RF and amplifiers to point me in the right direction. Electrically I can build just about anything if I have a plan to do so. Knowing what to buy is the issue here. So I am asking...

I am looking to build an external solution for cooling my HTPC via water cooling. Being that the HTPC will be in the cabinet, I wanted to use the cavity behind the Horizon N702 cabinet I have and build an external cooling array. This is solid wood furniture, so I can mount whatever I need to...

My current HTPC build is in an Antec P180B case - obviously not an HTPC case, but it is what I had to build in at the time. I have a BACH case that the EVGA Classified E760 motherboard would not fit in, so I was left with the Antec case as my last resort until I found something that would fit...

What tool is needed to extract these out of this connector? I want to start sleeving these but the extractor tool I have does not work on these kinds of connectors. Does anyone know how to extract these?

So I was tinkering around with Frank last night and hit 4.5Ghz pretty solid and with little effort actually. I either got lucky or found a nice balance quickly. I just installed 12GB of Mushkin DDR3 in Frank with much better timings and wanted to see if I could quickly OC him and see what he...

Well it is time for Frank to grow up. 2011 brings some exciting power to Frank's build as he continues to morph into the beast he was built to be. I willl update this thread as we go through the upgrade this weekend. Several good things are planned to be installed and seet up on Frank - then...

This coming March (2011) Frank will turn 1 year old. My journey began a mere 12 months ago into water cooling. I have made some serious rookie mistakes and done some pretty cool tubing configurations IMO. Though some more effective than others, some more flashy than practical, and some...

GPU's FOR SALE/TRADE: I have three XFX GTX 285's with Waterblocks and their original fan shrouds/OEM boxes. The PCI bracket portion was modified to handle single slot install, so the fan shroud portion of the PCI fan faceplate's are not there any more. GPU's are 100% fully functional and will...

Well I finally took the plunge and replaced the stock LED's in the Koolance ERM-2K3UCU unit. I contacted Koolance to find out what the size was and they said the PCB strips were 5mm as well as the 200mm fans LED's - they were right for the PCB strips above/below the reservoir, however when it...

So began the dreaded Windows Home Server build. The reason I dread it is because I knew it was going to be an all-day affair. The actual build is not the time taker (though it was time consuming as I wanted to make sure it was done clean and right), but the loading of the OS, the gazillion MS...

“Frank” and I wish you all a very Happy Holiday as he was willing to be my test subject while testing my new Canon T2i Rebel DSLR I got early for xMas. I was excited to finally get a camera that could really show off the beauty of this rig IMO - thanks for checking him out. Building "Frank N...

I am running three 24" Asus monitors and a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition that spans my 3 monitors. I love the 5040 part, hate the 1050 drop in height - however the one thing that pisses me off more than anything is the bezel. When the monitors are end to end, I have a 1" gap between...

Thaks for looking - everything went to eBay............

Anyone overclock this CPU yet? Does anyone know its potential? Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor I am about to upgrade to a Core i7 machine tomorrow night (items on order, impatiently waiting for delivery) and will be water cooling...

:D OK $400 is too low - what about $700 or less? Is there a way to water cool 3 GTX 285's (P891 boards) and one Core i7 LGA 1366 Bloomfield CPU for an approx $600 budget (I can slide over a bit if necessary, but not much). Anyone want to help? I know nothing about water cooling, all I...

Ok I removed the link - done

FS: 1 - Well cared for EVGA 9800GX2 w/original box and goodies $300 OBO - email me via the forums please It seems that QUAD SLI isnt all it is supposed to be, I run Crysis much better with a single 9800GX2 after fighting with about every known possibility and upgrading about every component...

Ok, so I have a choice at this time and not sure which way to go. Tomorrow I have 2 - WD Caviar Black 7,200RPM, 640GB 32MB Cache, SATA 3GB/s drives coming in - and I currently have 2- WD Raptor 74GB 10k 16MB Cache, SATA 1.5GB/s drives here as well. I had one Raptor die in a RAID 0, so I was...

Ok, I currently run an Intel Q9450 that really clocks stable and operational at 3.4Ghz, though I can run most benchmarks at some 3.66Ghz configs. Normal daily running I stick with the 3.4Ghz config as it is completely solid, keeps cool, and is a happpy camper there. However - I also run two...

I currently have a Intel Q9450 that is OC'd to 3.4Ghz, push it at 3.6/8Ghz sometimes. I see the cores at times go 64c+ and want to keep the temps down. I cannot go liquid yet, so I am looking for a good QUIET air solution. I have an Antec P190 case, so it is BIG and can handle any cooler I...

Does anyone know what temps are considered within range for the Q9450? What are the "Acceptable" voltage as well? I am OC'ing my Q9450 and dont want to push too hard, but I cannot seem to find this info readily available - or maybe I am not lookin gin the right areas. Currently I am...

I cannot seem to figure out how others with equal or lesser hardware are scoring 20k+ in 3DMARK06. I am trying to get my rig pushed but stable and seem to have found one spot here where I am at with this Quad Core at 3.4Ghz. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this OC'd more...
