Kind of depends and I love my ITX system based around the Lian Li Q58 but I'm using a 240 AIO and getting a decent air cooler under 63 mm is impossible to find. But there is a solution to your issue. The Asus AP201 which is just slightly larger than the Q58, more room for hardware and less than...

Been kind of looking at the Gigabyte 690 Aorus Master or the MSI Meg Z 690 Unify. Both seems to have the features I'll need and her needs than Get 64 GB of DDR 5 to start and add more when the price drops. Both have plenty of m.2 slots for plenty of storage. Any thoughts on the 2 above.

Haven't been around for awhile even though I just retired as a senior network engineer. First of all I still game but know my better half wants a machine to do video editing. Parts all ready aquired. Case lian li 011 Dynamic EVO GPU EVGA 3080 TI FTW (waited on a list 8 months to get one at...

Where to start. Been building since 1991 and remember when 10 GB hard drive cost over $1000. Still have most of my old mother boards, ram and CPU,s all the way up to my current builds. Been through using switches on the motherboards to set your timings, to setting timings in bios , to the...

Sorry guys been working a lot setting up new cloud farms. As good as the EK is the fans probably would have to be replaced because I hate noise. But with that said Im leaning towards going black out without RGB fans anyhow for a more clean old school look do to my age but the case and...

Finally after 5 years I'm building a new rig. In the past it's been air cooling. This time I'll be going with a Intel I7 12700K. Also managed to get my hands on a Lian Li 011 Dynamic EVO. With the newer CPU's and there thermals a AIO looks like about the only way to go. I need help on which one...

Cryorig H7 but change out the stock fan to a hydraulic bearing PWM fan. The H7s fan is noisy under load.

Honestly any isopropyl alcohol over 90% is good. I just buy the drug store brand and its usually under $3 for a bottle of it.

I fell in love with the Corsair Carbide 600C, but Corsairs rebates are iffy at best so it put it out of budget but it will be on my list when and if I decide to build myself a AMD Zen box next year. I compared the Corsair 400C and Fractal Design Define S. Both have the feature I want with out...

I found some used components at a great price at a local thrift store but the case isn't that good even thought it looks new. Components going in new case. Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Motherboard Intel Core i5-4670 Cryorig H7 2 X 4GB Adata XPG 1600 DDR3 Memory EVGA 970 graphics card EVGA 80 PLUS...

Kind off what I was thinking but I thought I'd still ask. I'll just get a reasonable priced 250 GB SSD, Cryorig H7, and maybe a better case since the airflow doesn't look good at all plus its really flimsy. Something like the Fractal Design Define S. This should keep the whole cost of this...

To make a long story short I found a Intel Core i5-4670 CPU, Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Motherboard, EVGA 760 Graphics Card, and a off brand case. All of it looked almost new and for $20 at a local thrift store. I took the chance and everything booted fine with a new EVGA 80 PLUS GOLD 550W ECO power...

Check Amazon they sell both the Cryorig 140mm PWM fans.

Rumor has it Nintendo has all ready signed a contract to use AMD's APU's for there next console and the all ready have a team there. Same with Sony and Microsoft. I used to think AMD was in the crapper but after reading a few articles and watching a few YouTube video's this might not be the...
