I'm trying to figure out if my fan setup is messing with my overall cooling effectiveness. This isn't an updated picture; as now my fans are inside of the front panel for the h100i GTX radiator, in intake position. My question is, should I reverse my top fan to be an intake instead of exhaust...

I'm buying a ssd today and I wanted to know how should I remove Windows from the previous hard drive when I eventually come to install it on the ssd? I don't want to format my old hdd cause I have a lot of games on it.

It's not the case fans. That's for sure, it's coming from what seems to be the middle of the case.

Whine noise: http://youtu.be/C3xzQ4RqL-Q My pc isn't very a audible as compared to the video, but there's this whine noise that's coming from it. It sounds like something grinding or something. I believe it's my cpu cooler fan or pump. The sound can be compared to that of the hum that a...

Hello my motherboard's fan control is making my cooler fan spin throttle in very small increments... Not like a racecar, but like you can hear when it is spinning a little bit faster. For some reason it's driving me nuts. How do I change this

Thanks guys, I hadn't installed Windows yet, just browsing the bios. Was kinda scary

I just finished my build last night and while monitoring the cpu I noticed it creeping up through the 60s on idle! It rising and rising. I figured I seated the cooler wrong and figured I'd fix it after work the next day. So I turn it on today and now it's idling at 26, I let it run for about...

Haha my bad I was putting the Cooler in wrong!

No there's like a pre-installed one that came with the motherboard. I tried posting pictures but it's not working. http://imgur.com/mSrItIo http://imgur.com/yCnk05X http://imgur.com/1xnd06C

Hey I'm trying to install a cpu cooler but the backside has a natural back plate that's offsetting the cooler back plate. Is it possible to remove this??

Before I solution this thread, any idea of where I can pick up inexpensive individually sleeved cables? Similar to corsair but without the 100$ price tag almost? (Honestly if you factor that in I'm better off getting a high end seasonic)

The build theme is black with subtle hints of red. I'm just gonna go with my original plan and get the v700

Quick and easy question. Is that side label removable? I wanna get a rm 750 but it clashes terribly with my build color theme.

I don't think one needs an 850/1000 Watt psu to run one video card. That means by itself it would need to pull 600 watts a lone which is a stretch. Iirc it uses around the same power as an 780 ti. I don't plan to overclock it cause of the known issues with overheating.

I've been an Nvidia fanboy for awhile now, but now I find myself venturing into unknown territory; a territory that once left a bad taste. I haven't owned an ATI branded card for awhile now, I mean years! I have a pretty good offering for a Xfx r9 290, the double dissipation model. It's so...
