    Looking for a IPS panel around $300 for productivity first, gaming second

    I've been really wanting to try out a 120hz+ panel, but I prefer better color reproduction because I do some color sensitive work. The display needs to be matte and I cannot deal with dead/stuck pixels. I've been looking at pixel perfect korean panels, they are right at my budget and 1440p...

    Help? I can't get my 5930k to run at even 4.0 GHz stable.

    I've followed the guides: 1. Leave everything on default 2. Set the vCore to 1.3 V 3. Set the CPU Ration at 4.5 Ghz, and if it's not stable, work your way down. 4. Once you find a stable speed, try slowly lowering the vCore to reduce wear and temps. Well, I cannot get anywhere close to the...

    Probably a really stupid idea for a 12L SLI mATX case.

    It's always really bothered me that computers, cases, and airflow typically don't work well together, there's a lot of 90 degree angles, perpendicular cooling, and working against hot air rising. I had the idea to use PCI-Express extenders with graphics cards that have vertically aligned...

    Searching for a good looking 5.25 hot swap rack for 3.5 HDD

    I like the ********** 1108SS, but I cannot find it for sale on any US site. I'll probably end up getting the ********** 1106SS, but the brush plastic will be going the opposite direction as the brushed metal look on my computer case. If these were affordable, I'd pick one of these...

    Overclocking the 5820k, Noctua NH-D14 vs 40 All-in-One Liquid Coolers

    I've been trying to figure out the perfect mATX case to get with an overclocked 5820k. And with a smaller case, managing heat is huge issue, and your cooler options are really limited by the case. Originally I was exclusively looking at cases that support a 240 all-in-one radiator, but then I...

    Build help for Socket 2011 v3 mATX

    Use: The PC will primarily be used for creating art and assets for video games in Unreal Engine 4, playing games is secondary. A powerful CPU will cut down on render, baking, and compiling time, and it'll be much easier to upgrade the GPU in a few years Current Build: My PC is really behind...

    Best quiet and portable mATX case options?

    In terms of being quiet and looking good, the TJ08B-E and the Define Mini are two of my favorite mATX options, but they don't look easy to move and have a bit of wasted space. The mATX case with handles that I've seen that isn't completely ugly is the Prodigy M, but it's still not pretty and...

    Best price for performance 6-core option? LGA 2011 vs LGA 2011 v3?

    I know it'll probably be cheaper to build a computer around the i7-3930K instead of the newer i7-5820K, but the i7-5820K sells for $300 at Microcenter often, and I'm wondering at the price, is it worth it to go for the newer and more expensive build?

    I got a cheap DAC because I was tired of hearing noise from my computer on my headphones. The DAC works great until I put my computer to sleep and wake it back up.
