I need a big boy air cooler that won't block the first pcie slot on the ASrock x99m Extreme 4 mobo. Seeing as on all of these x99m micro atx boards the second slot only runs x8 for a 5820k. I was considering a be quiet! Shadow Rock 2, but the reviews for that thing are all over the place. I...

Uhh, appears to me Toms and [H]ard did the same titles, Tom' covered one or two more. Try again?

As someone who is not a fanboy of either side of this isle, and someone who has held off starting a new build to replace this 8 year old dinosaur I'm typing on for news of these new releases, I have to say, I'm disappointed. I guess in my heart I have been rooting for the underdog, hoping AMD...

New Fallout. NEW Dishonored. Thanks Bethesda. I gotta go file for divorce now. YAY!

I am building inside a phenom m mATX case. Currently I am using: 2x gentle typhoons 120mm 1450rpm in the top pulling in. (This is how the phenom is meant to draw air so don't tell me to make them exhaust please) 1x h60 with standard 120mm pulling cooler air in from outside. 1x 200mm bitfenix...

So I am using a semi modular psu. I run with one gpu and have a second strand 6+2 doing nothing that I can't detach. What connector (s) do I need to get one or 2 molex connections from that 6+2? Basically I feel like I should be able to run some LEDs or something else for my modding from...

I'm just going with the Green. It'll be more than fast enough to watch movies from, play music from, and store large pdf's. I don't need the noise or "performance". And there really wasn't any counter arguments to getting a green.

Ok, but why? What's the real tangible benefit? I'm not trying to be snarky, I just don't understand the real difference if it's just functioning as storage for such files? Thanks for the input :)

Heya folks. New build on the horizon. Ground up and all that. So I am going with ssd for my installation drive. Getting it big enough to run my OS and a good chunk of my steam library that I like to have installed for rainy days. I'm also going with a second smaller ssd for use for a...

Below is my rig I am probably building. The only thing that may change is getting a new 980ti if they are reasonably priced. However. I am having trouble picking a new monitor. I am not a power gamer. I don't play CS on my twitch channel showing off my 1337 skillZ. Just dated myself there...

So I know the phenom will hold a slim 240mm radiator at the top above the gpu. What I am wondering is if I can squeeze another 120mm or 140mm radiator AIO somewhere in there? I'm thinking of doing a g10 on the gpu so I don't have to worry about airflow through the case and the high ambient...

I originally built this with the idea of going with a Jonsbo mITX U2 case. Much to my dismay the 980 gtx is just too big to make work. I'd also like some advice on lighting for the 240. [PCPartPicker part list](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C9sknQ) / [Price breakdown by...
