The Xigmatek Utgard case has two big openings in the bottom, one right under the PSU space. Look... So install the PSU fan facing down. The idea...
Yea, I just wanted to wait for a proper review of the chips. Mmmm... Now do I upgrade or wait until the replacement LGA1366 CPU? :D
You would say that after reading the SB review, it's there in black and white. Pre-review I honestly don't think you knew how the SB's would...
Given the options you've outlined an i5, or a new Sandy Bridge, with a new GPU would be the way to go as it's the GPU that's currently holding you...
That's irrelevant. It will all boil down to the bench test results, not how fast you can get the chip to run. Bottom line it this: The Sandy...
You won't notice the difference while browsing and stuff but you will loose some FPS during gaming although I don't think it'll be much.
Mmmm... That's not entirely true. There's some nice dual cores at lower than 3.2Ghz that the GTX 460 will be fine with. It's more than CPU...
Mmmmmm. . . I thought "No Connection" displayed on the monitor meant that the monitor in question wasn't connected to the graphics card or isn't...
Just my thoughts, but i'd go with the i7 950, Asus P6X58D-E & 6GB Corsair 1600 in Triple channel upgrade. Yes we have Sandy bridge coming but...
You mean like this? OP: What mini itx board do you have?
It's possible and you don't need a relay. I build a loom, using an ATX extension lead, some green and black cable and an ATX male plug, that you...
Either way RAID 0 for storage seems pretty ironic; you don't want to increase the failure rate of your storage medium. If you want to RAID...
Those temps are fine. 20'C from TJ Max isn't a problem when stressing the cores with Prime although I would start to reduce the vcore until you...
That makes sense if the OP were looking at an LGA1156 platform. In this case there's nothing stopping him going for a nice LGA1366 set up....
The GTX480 won't eat your PSU. The Mushkin HP-580 is a pretty tough PSU that will power your machine easily.
Anywhere between 0.8V - 1.375V is good. Mine is running at 3.2Ghz with vcore at 1.1V.
Well you've just brought a premium visual monitor that deserves to be driven by a premium GPU... Go for the GTX 580 and game like the clappers!...
Correct! I was just pointing out that there's two different i7 sockets, the 1366's and the 1156's and the Sandy's replace the latter... I'm...
A few days? It doesn't need to be a few hours. CRT TV's are a little different to a swithing ATX PSU... The caps inside these ATX PSU's discharge...
I've cleaned many dust bunnies out of ATX PSU's, the circuit board, between the board and case as well as the fan itself. As long as it's...
