Thank you for the advice with the thicker rad, I guess i will go with a EK-CoolStream RAD XTX 360 then. This also has a top-port which could used very well for filling I think. Didn't thought about that topic before, just "yeah just fill that loop in the reservoir", but now when looking at this...

Hello there you experts ;) I could need some experienced opinions for my next step with my PC: Watercooling. At first I will be watercooling my GPU only, because my CPU has a very awesome looking and quite cooler (Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, handles the CPU at 4,5GHz with low to middle speeds)...

Hello, thank you for the information. I have tried several things at once, that's why I cant truely say where the problem was. I used a second seperate cable for the pci-e power connectors, cleared the cmos and cleaned the pci-e slot on the mobo. It's finally working well, also with just one...

As I answered on your private message here for everyone facing this question:

Yes it does, also you shouldn't need to reduce effects like aero from windows 7.

Hello, the Intel HD gpu is included in the cpu. It should run just fine with 1080p applications, i guess you must be able to watch 1080p videos, too. The size in inches doesn't matter here.

When you're planning to upgrade the card in the near future, then i would go without the radeon. The intel HD is not a gaming card, but why wasting ~60$ when you buy a new card soon? Also, i'm not sure weather your psu is enough for everything + the card you will be buying soon. Your Board and...

Is the cpu fan connected correctly to the cpu fan 1 header? Also, verify that the ram is sitting okay, maybe try it with just one module at first. While these led's are blinking, you wont get a signal to your monitor.

As i read there is no reference pcb from nvidia for the 970. I guess thats why most of the distributors just take the 670/760 pcb. The following cards should provide these pcb layout: EVGA (non acx, blower cooler) Palit (blower cooler) Gainward (blower cooler) PNY (blower cooler) Zotac (non...

Oh, that makes things a bit more complicated. I can say, that a reference 680 waterblock should not fit on any of the 970's. Most pcbs i have Seen have a different Layout. A universal cooler May work, but let me advice you: If i would get a new card, i also would buy a new waterblock...

Hello, most of the 970's should fit well with a 670 waterblock. This is for reference PCBs of course. Can you tell us what a 670 and what a waterblock you have?

The 84W is the needed wattage in load. In idle These two CPUs will need the Same cooling i guess. From my preferences its not a big deal when the PCs is a bit louder while i'm gaming. But all in all i think that you might need a custom air cooler, there are some good and quiet out there. I...

From the hardwareside it should work with the pci-e x16 Slot. Do you have enough power out of your psu? Before upgrading your gpu, please be aware: Your other compoments really aren't Made for playing the latest games. Your CPU will bottleneck it, also 4GB DDR2 Ram will cause fps drops in the...

If there's no Budget Limit, go with a GTX 980 Sli configuration. Maybe you want something with a bit more vram, then you have two options: go with older cards like the 780 or r9 (6GB vram) Or you might wait for the 980 to get a ram upgrade. I would get the sli'd 980's
