Thanks for that. The GD08 is the only case I have come across that happens to fit the cabinet area I have, which also comes with an optical bay....I chose the Strix 980 because of the 0rpm feature. I thought about just installing the CM Nepton 240, with the radiator fitted at the bottom of the...

I am looking to do a fanless, silent workstation something like this: Case: Silverstone GD08 CPU: Xeon i7 5820k CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9S (no fan) GPU: Asus Strix 980x GPU Case fan: Noctua NF-P12 PWM x4 - 2 installed at the bottom, pull air into build - 2 installed at...

Bump?

For boot drive, which one is the preferred one? I understand that the Samsung's M2 doesn't come with a PCIe adaptor, is there a difference between manufacturers of adaptors? Thanks.

Have a Corsair 250D build, previously fitted with a modular unit. The build has 3 SSDs, 2 HHDs, and 1 optical drive. As one can imagine, the wiring and airflow is terrible and troublesome; can't even plug it into the HDD/SSD bracks. Basically its a mess. I've moved on to the SFX 600W psu...

I got a ASRock z87 mitx motherboard fitted with a i7-4771 rig. Suppose I were to get a prosumer RAM kit (ie. gskill 2133 etc) A few questions: 1. Will I be able to overclock my RAM despite having a i7-4771 cpu? 2. Is it possible only just to overclock the RAM, even I were to get say the 4770k...

This is really really useful stuff. I self taught from reading forums and clips. Over the years, I keep finding myself having to go back and forth the basics because gaps exists! I have spent a lot of time trying to find articles like these. Thank you for this article. Likewise, I'd be...

The ROG boasts network optimization for games. Is there a selection for this feature on non games, like flash/chrome/stock trading applications?

I'm looking for future-proof motherboard with great connectivity, for mostly workstation purposes, with some gaming and audio capability. I've made up my mind to stick to ASUS, maybe z97 or z87, probably former. Reviews and benchmark all indicate consistent product quality despite being...

I am a proud supporter of the Tango PC initiative on Indiegogo (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tango-super-pc-worlds-most-powerful-pocketable-gameable-officeable-pc). The product has not been shipped, but I've got a few ideas which I'd like to explore in time. Mainly, these include a mSATA...

Previously, like most members here, I make it a habit of downloading all drivers from the manufacturer's site from another computer and then transfer them to a USB. Once Win 7 (with Daz loader) has been installed, I can move on and download them immediately. In most cases, I do this with...

Thanks guys. 2011 it is then. Remind me again? There are some mITX MBs out there that support 2011 sockets right? Is the ASRock z87E ITX support it?? I think it just supports 1150 socket right? Thanks.

Been wondering about this issue. What/where does the future lie for 2011 and 1150 sockets? If I were to build a durable and high end workstation that takes the future into account, and wish to see CPU upgrades, what should I do? For now, get a 4770k? or what? Your personal thoughts on the...
