    Switched out cpu cooler for a new one and now my computer is dead : (

    Wizard!!! I installed the CPU cooler (had to wait for the MX4 to come in.) and I can say that the CPU cooler (Arctic Freezer 13) is working great! At idle it's at 29-30c and while playing The Witcher 3 (While on horse back or fighting a mob) it goes up to 45c. Before with the stock cooler it was...

    To Modular PSU or To Not Modular PSU

For starters, when I created my gaming rig (this is actually my...

    My thoughts on Gigabyte

    "Gigabyte is the absolute worse you can buy. Stay away from their tech support at all costs. They no speakey engrish and a few of them do not know what they are doing. There mobo controllers do not play with samsung ssd`s and there video cards are junk. Beware:no: " I don't know man, every-time...

    Some Hardware in my PC is failing, but I don't know what part.

    Sounds like you need a new computer...or an exorcist. joking aside it sounds like it could either be a couple of different things: 1. memory problem - I know first hand how RAM can severly slow down a computer so the slowness could be attributed to that 2. motherboard failure - You're saying...

    Switched out cpu cooler for a new one and now my computer is dead : (

    I believe I figured out the problem, (Knock on wood.) I went to Best Buy and bought another power supply. (at the time of this edit 10/11/15 1:13 P.M. eastern I was able to buy the Corsair CX750M for 60 us dollars, I was able to get it so cheap cause they priced matched the one on NewEgg for...

    Switched out cpu cooler for a new one and now my computer is dead : (

    Hey guys, I recently upgraded my CPU from the stock FX-8350 fan to the Arctic Freezer 13. I had to take out the entire Motherboard in order to install the Freezer 13 and I was very careful about putting everything back, even double checked all of the connections but my computer just wouldn't...

    Vertical v.s. Horizontal CPU Coolers

    Awesome thanks, Vertical cooler it is. Update 10/10/15: I got the Arctic Freezer 13 and my computer died (pretty sure it may have been the PSU, but not sure.) However, while it did run for about 10 min before going the way of Constantine ( I really liked that show too ) the temp was reading 23...

    question about Cooling fans and negative pressure.

    Hey guys, so i'm building my first gaming rig and I've recently come across the negative/positive pressure conundrum. My question is: should I get two low CFM fans (in the 50-70 range) and 2 high CFM fans (100-200 range) my theory is, in doing this it will keep negative pressure flowing through...
