    High End PC - 2011 Socket - Thoughts (wishlist incl)

    Couple of further questions: Planning on replacing the H60's stock fan with the Noctua fan, this should work, right?. Ideally it would be as quiet as possible, hence the case choice. Also; to make it as quiet as possible I'd quite like to get a 10 meter DVI-D cable and USB extensions for the...

    High End PC - 2011 Socket - Thoughts (wishlist incl)

    Hi All, I'm about to move to the states and will be building a new rig when I arrive. I'm taking my 2 7970 Ghz BEs over with me but everything else will be new. My only real stipulations are that it must be transportable (hence the mid tower) in order to get it from what will be a temporary...

    7970 Black Screen 100% Fans

    PS, I am semi-dubious about how my PSU has been performing lately but it is a Tagan 1300watt modular version. In terms of wattage I probably have enough left to attach another 2 cards.

    7970 Black Screen 100% Fans

    Hoi there, After tearing my hair out with 5970 crossfire for a couple weeks I decided to throw in the towel and replace them both with XFX 7970s BE cards. The first one arrived and I've been playing away with it just fine till yesterday when it started behaving oddly. The card runs supercool...

    5970 Quadfire HELP!

    Thank you both for your very helpful and informative replies - fantastic actually. I actually have some interesting results; I realised before reading the first post that my pcie lanes weren't running correctly and changed that in bios which seemed to help the BSOD/freezing troubles. Powering...
