Yeah, but as I understand it - liquid coolers are noisy and I'm trying to keep things in my case relatively quiet.

Hi guys, I'm trying to choose between these two be quiet! coolers. I've found a couple direct comparisons online and the margin seems to be 1-2 degrees tops. Is paying the premium on the Pro 3 worth it or will I get almost the same results with the standard Dark Rock 3? I'm going to be cooling a...

Not an option, I'm afraid. I was asking about the Corsairs specifically because I can get a deal on both models.

Yeah, you'll have zero problem. You can in fact even SLI/Crossfire cards from different generations in case the chip itself is the same, i.e. 290x/390x come the next update from AMD. Unless I'm mistaken it's exactly the same story with Nvidia. In any case the brand doesn't matter for a same...

Hi guys, I need an advice on what PSU to get for a 290x crossfire setup. I got a deal for a second 290x for just 175 euro, brand new with 2 year warranty and it's an Asus with factory OC and aftermarket cooler - I just couldn't say no :). However it is obvious my current 730 watt Thermaltake...

Just wanted to do a follow-up for future reference in case other people run into the problem - the motherboard worked out of the box, no problem. Recognised the 4790K immediately.

In that case what is up with the 1.30 update? Honestly my main concern is if the thing will just boot in BIOS when turned on. After that I can update it - no problem.

I'm considering using this pair but unfortunately the original BIOS pre-dates the release of the 4790k. Updating it would not be that much of a problem if I already had an Intel CPU for the 1150 socket, but sadly I'm planning an upgrade from an AMD system. Can anybody confirm whether the system...

Here is my suggestion: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2hZxP6 I went 7.54 pounds over the budget ;). I think its worth it considering I managed to squeeze in a 4GB 270x which would allow you to play much more than Minecraft. Here is an alternative AMD build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vzscjX...

The FX6300 is definitely more powerful. So is the 750ti - it beats any dual-graphics combo (i.e. APU and a compatible GPU). Don't know what your budget is or what the prices where you live are, but I would look around and try to get my hands on a r9 270x - their prices have drasticly dropped...

At a 250 EUR budget, I suggest you go the AMD way and get an FX6350 and a decent motherboard. You won't get the same single core performance you would from an Intel CPU, obviously, but it is a very good budget CPU and considering the higher number of cores I see it as a better investment in the...
