well it would be large for the case, i think i made that quite clear by explaining that i would have to remove half the drive bays. but thanks. ill give it a try and monitor temps

by large i mean an AIO with a 120mm rad, just something with a thick enough rad to actually do something. jeez, you'd think no-one had ever built an ITX gaming rig before....

I want to fit a large radiator in it, to do this i have to remove all but one of the drive bays. Yes i can velcro it to a side panel, but all the side panels are removable and would need to be removed to work on the case, not the biggest issue seeing as its velcro but it would nice not to have...

Title says it all really, planning a new sff build but im limited for space for hard drives. Would mounting An SSD to the backplate of the PSU be dodgy? any static in the psu enclosure would circulate the entire case anyway as its aluminum. And if the housing were to go live data loss would be...

i think i'm leaning towards the kingston furys anyway, linus tech tips did a review and said there very conservatively clocked/ timed, meaning that with a small amount of tinkering they can be clocked to 2133 no worries with reasonable cas timings. Apparently some reviewers were getting them up...

so thats pretty much it, if the mobo's compatible then meh, why the hell not? i posted the details for the wrong corsair module anyway ^^ the ones i have seen are CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model. There CL9's, similar to the GSkills but they...

So i've been looking at a few different memory modules for a new mITX rig i plan on building in the new year. Its down to either... Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-307-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1390 or Kingston Hyper X Fury -...

From what i've read, broadwell isn't that much of an upgrade, just a smaller die version of the haswell processors. So particularly at release the bang for your buck simply won't be there. That would mean you either wait till this time next year to get a a skylake setup at launch, which you will...

this was pretty much along the lines of what i was thinking, waiting for broadwell seems a bit pointless when compaired to just buying an i5 for a mid range rig. since they really won't provide that much bang for buck performance increases. If i was getting a laptop sure, but for a desktop...

but are the price drops really going to be that significant on mid range cpus? i mean an i5 4690k is only £160 now, surely it wouldn't get that much cheaper, if your talking £40 saving that's 10 pounds a month for instant satisfaction. would something like an overclockable i7 drop...

so whilst asking about budget and cpu recomendations for a mid range build (£800 odd) i had a few comments saying i should wait for Broadwell. A little bit of research later and i find that whilst they will represent a slight performance increase, the fact that launch prices are likely to be...

Thanks so much for all the responses guys, all really helpful. think i'm going to aim for around £800 for an i5 build with an r9 280 and see how the fundraising goes as to whether the specs go up or down. I was thinking along these lines to start but wasn't sure if it was just overkill for my...

So i'm looking into building a gaming pc. i currently do all my gaming on a laptop, its an i7 with a 2gb nvidia 630m graphics card, but alas it overheats, anything too performance intensive will just stutter like a madman or just black screen for a few seconds at a time at random. it can handle...
