    CPU idling at 60C

    I've recently replaced my CPU cooler from an H60 (massive air bubble) to an NH-L9x65. The temps with the H60 were sitting over 70C at idle, so the new heatsink was pretty much mandatory. However, my 4670k is idling around 60C at stock settings. This leads me to believe there's a problem with...

    SG05: Switching to an air CPU cooler

    After seeing my CPU temps sitting at 70°C idle, I gave my SG05 a big old clean out just to find out there's a massive air bubble inside my H60. Anyways, I reseated it with some fresh TIM to get it in passable condition for the interim and got the temps down to 60°C. Since AIOs are a real cunt...

    Lian-Li PC-Q37

    Lian-Li finally unlocked their product page for the PC-Q37, which some of you probably saw the prototype for in a Computex video earlier this year. As usual, it's following the trend of EXTREME WATER COOLING capabilities (because everyone these days just cannot fathom an air build at all)...

    Looking for decent 2.0 speakers

    I'm looking for some good quality 2.0 speakers to replace my old pc speakers. Trying to keep it under $150AU. So far my first choice so far are the M-Audio AV30s, but I've read a few reviews about how they stop working after a year or so. Could be that these people just didn't break them in...

    Thermaltake Core X1 - The Anti- SFF Chassis

    Now there is no way this belongs in this forum, but it deserves an honorable mention since it's an ITX case. http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002576 I won't go into too much detail since I'm doing this on my phone, but this thing... is fucking huge. It...

    Swiftech H140-X

    Looks like this was released with little to no fanfare. http://www.swiftech.com/H140-X.aspx http://www.swiftech.com/MCR140-X.aspx I was personally hoping for the H120-X since it would have been much more versatile, but I guess this one has its place. Could be a nice addition to the...

    Question about AIO coolers for potential Frankenstein project

    Does anyone know how they're pressurised? I have a bit of a Frankenstein project in mind which involves butchering an Antec Kuhler 650/950 and attaching it to a GPU full cover water block. Now before anyone says "Kraken G10", I'll say "shut up, I want to know if it can be done this way". I...

    GTX 960 delayed till Q1 2015

    http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-960-allegedly-postponed-q1-2015-due-strong-geforce-gtx-980-gtx-970-sales/ I'm not a big fan of articles that use "rumored" and "allegedly" but seeing as there's little news about the 960, it's worth pointing out.

    Where have all the Ducky keyboards gone?

    A few weeks ago, I finally decided to pull the plug and buy myself a new keyboard: the Ducky Shine 3 TKL MX brown with blue LEDs. But when I went to pccasegear to order one, they're out of stock. I think to myself "they'll get some more in about a week." A week passes and they're still out of...

    Buying a gaming mouse for the first time

    Following up from my previous thread about buying a mechanical keyboard, I'm also looking for a gaming mouse to replace my epic Microsoft mouse. I've had a look around and seen mice with more buttons than a stealth bomber, or more basic ones which look abysmally small, some ridiculously...

    Buying a mechanical keyboard for the first time

    So I'm looking at getting a mechanical keyboard to replace my epic Microsoft keyboard. I have a general idea of what would be preferable; cherry brown switches, backlit keys, full length. The Ducky DK2108SZ Shine Zero Zone looks suitable, albeit a bit lacking in some features. Not a bad...

    ITX case design inspired by TJ08-E and SG05, just for funsies

    I've had a bunch of these ideas for different ITX cases swirling around my head for a while, so I finally decided to actually draw one up. Downloaded Sketchup today and pretty much messed around with it trying to figure it all out and this is the result of all that. Here's one of the designs I...

    Best AI1 WC in SG05

    I'm looking at doing a build using the SG05. I'm a complete nublet at this so forgive me if you find some of my questions a bit silly. Obviously I'm looking for the best cooling option available. The most I've seen packed into an SG05 is a Corsair H80 in a push-pull configuration. It...
