AIO coolers are awesome. They have revolutionized cooling for Mainstream PCs. How come no one has designed an AIO with the footprint of an Air cooler? I realize that AIOs need cool air from the outside, however this is an easy issue to fix with an additional side fan or good ducting. With all...

I recently decided to puchase 2 Haier LE55B1381 to use for my Nvidia Surround Display setup. Turns out it was a mistake. It appears the TVs have some input lag which is driving me Crazy. I've posted this in the Nvidia card section but I wanted to repost here in the Display section and see...

(UPDATE) The tvs are in. I have uploaded the pictures here I also want to say that there is a little input lag with the Haier tvs. None with the Samsung. There doesn't appear to be any video lag though using them as the extra monitors. So 98 out of 10 i guess. not perfect due to a little...

I don't know about yall but I Lan Game at least 2 times a month which means that im carrying my case around quite a bit. There are no real good lightweight Microatx solutions with handles. I will be using the NZXT Vulcan but its older and needs a new revision already. Theres quite a bit they...

I am buying the new Asus Maximus Gene-Z and I found that the Lian Li UC-01 adapter will be too large to use with a video card in the first PCI-e slot. You will have to use a cable in order to use the onboard usb header and bring the female A type USB ports into the case for front USB ports. A...

To anyone out there running this motherboard. How is the onboard sound? How do you connect it to your AV reciever? Do you use the optical jack (toslink)? Or do you just use the HDMI port on your video card to pass through sound? If you connect it through HDMI is the sound card doing the...

Hey gang, I am going to build a new system on the Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z in a Vulcan NXZT case. I chose the case because I lan game often and need a SFF case with a handle. If anyone else has a SFF case with a handle with decent airflow suggestions please post here. Else I just wanted to...

Ill take any help I can get here people, can't believe I got a only a single reply on this thread. Am I missing something in my configuration? Shouldn't the multiplier jump to 24 etc to hit thie 3.6 when in a single threaded app and then go down from there if all the cores are used? I got...

Hey Gang, I just ordered the 1156 bolt through kit for the coolermaster heatsinks. I can use it on a V8 or a V10. Does anyone have any experience with the V10? Does it weigh too much to be practical? I lan game about every 2 weeks so I will be moving the case a bit. Should I just stick with...

Im looking for suggestions here. I need a lightweight case (preferably something less than 20lbs & and it needs to be deep so I can mount a T.R.U.E.). I don't mind adding the handle myself. only 4 things it has to have. 1 No front door. Those damn things drive me crazy. 2 needs to have...

Hey Guys, I am building a new I7 Rig and I do quite a bit of lan gaming. I was seraching the net and came across a really neat case mod to add a recessed handle to a case. You can find the link here. I wanted a case that had a solid top and front mounted USB ports, although I would have...

I know its a silly question, but does anyone know if its even a remote possiblity that the 2 heatsinks are enough alike that the MUX-120 mounting bracket would work for a T.R.U.E 120 on an 1156 motherboard?

I JUST ordered my 4870 X2, I found it in Whitebox on newegg for 360 bucks! Then I saw they just had an Nvidia 295 at 350 bucks. Did I make a mistake, should I have bought the 295 instead? Lol Anyway I guess my video card has allready shipped. Can't wait for it to get here.

I know it needs some better Cable Management. Any suggestions are welcome. I have overclocked it to 3.6ghz at 1.42vcore and the video card is overclocked to 625 1000. 2 Open Box: Seagate Barracuda ES ST3500630NS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Item #...
