    Question Which CPU was your very first one?

    It was an AMD. A MP processor from a laptop that was not salvageable. I think it was like 1.3 -1.6 GHz. I had a few laptops I "found" before I built a PC of my own. As far as the first family PC I believe it was a 386 or 486 series of old school CPU's. Back in the day we actually had one...

    upside down GPU?

    I bought a zalman z9 for 90$. It doesn't even have usb3.0 on the front panel. i'm kinda jealous of the 30 some dollar price. Any way, that is how the cards are oriented. I presume it is oriented to keep the heat from going near the cpu. But yes air buoyancy would make the air want to rise...

    Water cooling Questions

    based on what i have read the case has support for 120 mm/12 cm fans. The downside is that one is on the front and will almost have no chance of fitting a rad and a fan because of front panel and hard drives being so close to the 120mm chassis fan mount. The other 120mm fan is located the side...

    Hello everyone BottleNeck Question

    I would recommend shelling out for a ssd. They are quite speedy and the 128GB versions are priced pretty reasonably.

    Building my first gaming computer, around 2500$, need lots of help

    I would recommend staying away from mini itx towers. They all seem to have overheating problems due to the fact that most of the parts are crammed in close proximity to each other. This will be compounded by the fact that the PC is going to be a heat producing gaming rig. Go with the mid...

    Building a good $300 Build.....possible?

    sure there is a solution. first Simply find a sympathetic friend, tell them of your plight and request that they sell you their 1000 dollar computer for 300 dollars because your either impoverished or cheap. second Go down to the local horse track, inspect the competitors with a hearty ball...

    Cooler Master 120v/Elite 130 Push/Pull Question

    if you want 2 fans on the radiator you will need 8 long black bolts. 4 per fan the 120 v comes with 4 but my came with 8. lucky me. However I suppose if you hollowed out 4 screw holes on one side of one fan you could pass the small case screws through the hole and screw them into the holes...
