Quick question. I ordered an M.2 heatsink for my Sabrent M.2 and I'm worried about airflow to both the M.2 and my GPU, being that they're so close to each other (both get very hot). I'm thinking of using the M.2_2 slot instead for my M.2 drive. The manual doesn't specifically state that I should...

I need to liquid cool my GPU's. I've picked the blocks on EK's site but I'm required to buy the fittings. My tubing is 3/8" ID 1/2" OD acrylic. Can someone explain to me how I'm supposed to pair GPU fittings with my tubing? These are my avilable options http://imgur.com/a/EpYyo, none are 1/2"OD...

Does painting the inside of the chassis cause any problems? I don't see it done very often, especially in high end consumer cases, so I'm wondering if there's a reason for it or if its just a cost/production thing.

Sorry if this has been asked and explained already. I'm looking at a completely rigid acrylic water cooling solution for my next build. I've watched some tutorials from Primochill on youtube and have a general understanding now of how to manipulate the acrylic and everything. I'm curious though...

I invested a lot into my 3 U3011's earlier this year, hoping to really get the most out of games like Skyrim, Metro and MMO's especially. Sadly, even with the below specs, I frame hard when using NVidia surround. The only time I get stable frame rates are when I choose to use one monitor only...

The Story (skip if you dont care): A couple weeks ago, my swiftech pump failed. My computer overheated, and shut down. I took out the pump (running redundant loop) and left the good one, called Gabe at swiftech (he told me its the EK waterblock's fault), and pressed on. While I was in there...

I have 3 water-cooled 580's, and after doing maintenance on my loop I powered up to find that the top card no longer works. BIOS is not registering it, and neither does Windows. My OS is treating my system as 2x SLI now. I Unplugged the other two, leaving just the possibly-bad one in place, and...

I have 5 120x55mm Triebwerk fans for sale for $15 each.They have only been on my case for 2 days, they're brand new, just too loud for my taste. The fan controller is also brand new. I wasn't paying attention when I bought it and needed to replace it with a 5.25" controller. I am using it...

So I got my rig all put together, and I turned it on for the first time and no hard drives detected in POST. Well, I have two connected to Sata 6 (2 vertex 3's) via the Hot plugs of my Maximus IV. After the initial post phase, I get sent into BIOS because I have no choice apparently. In there it...

I'm thinking of buying two of these per recommendations from this forum in particular. A buddy of mine told me to buy two Vertex 3's and run them in Raid 0. He says I will get better performance from them. In searching google, I found that some people claim to get faster boot speeds, but then go...

Has anybody experimented with a dual rads on the 800D? I'll probably be picking this case up and want to run dual loop but haven't considered where I'm going to stick the second rad. I figure I'll just use the two WC holes on the back of the case and plant a rad back there, but if anyone has a...

Hello! I have been busy building my rig lately, picking up the easy parts (monitors, gpu's etc). Now is time to buy the bits, and the more I look at what I want my PC to do, the more I start to second guess the sandybridge choice. Specs so far: 3x U3011 30" Monitors. 3x Hydrocopper 2 3GB...

I always hear amazing reviews about this SSD from tech writers, but when it comes to user reviews, more than half the input seems to be very negative. Apparently these drives, as fast as they are, have a reputation for failing and doing so fairly early in their life spans. Has anybody been using...

I own 3 u3011's now, and am looking at the Hydrocopper 2 GTX 580's with 3gigs. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with its performance in multiple monitor gaming setups, and if I should consider three as opposed to two of them.

I hate being the guy that asks all the dumb questions. But how do I know if my graphics card has a "reference design"? For example "This cooling block is for reference design Radeon 6990". Thanks guys.

The water cooling build I'm working on uses a fan speed controller to adjust the power of my rad fans (all three of them). I don't have any practical purpose for adjusting each fan manually, and when I make the adjustments it's rather annoying to do it three times. I found a 4 way fan power...

I've been trying to find this monitor everywhere, but everywhere I look the monitor isn't a part of their inventory or they're completely sold out. Is there a good alternative anyone can recommend me? Did something newer/better come out to replace the 3007WFP-HC (U3011?)?

Has anybody tried Vue by www.e-onsoftware.com? I've used terragen and photoshop for several years now and am looking for something a little more robust. Is it any good?

I used to watch the big three on Gamespot, then IGN which did a horrible job. If you're like me and really look forward to these, where do you plan on watching them this year?

Since Amazon won't ship APO, I'm trying to get a Kindle 3 on Ebay, but most sellers are simply putting up a kindle 3, charging an extra 50 bucks for it after "shipping" and buying the unit off of Amazon anyway. So if you're tired of reading, or maybe you're looking to upgrade to the DX, I will...

I have a horrible connection where I am right now, and am getting really tired of single player games. I've played Tiger Woods Online, which is actually pretty cool but it's getting old fast. Minecraft is boring imo, and I've played Ferion (tick based web game) which I got rolled in. Anybody...

I spend a lot of time away from home, sometimes up to 6 to 9 months a year on average. I have a security system but I'm looking for something that would give me a little more sense of security. Has anybody played with a security cam setup that I can access anywhere online? I would like to...

I have never used 3D in games. I've seen displays in Frys and best buy but they're always broken or turned off (kids). I am debating three 30 inch monitors or three 24 inch 3d monitors. Is it possible to get anything bigger than 24 inches for 3D gaming? I have heard rumors that AMD's cards will...

Hi! This is my first post here although I've stopped by frequently through the years to read some of the threads. I'm confident that this is the place to be for awesome advice. I'm new to water cooling and need to cool a 990X and two GTX590's + Mobo (for looks mostly). I have everything I...
