    New rig build - secondary drive keeps failing

    Okay so a few updates... I've now got a GTX 1080 in there. I have moved the sata drive to its own power cable being plugged into the power supply. There is no other part plugged into this cable. It still randomly disconnects. I should add that it always does this when I'm gaming and never at...

    New rig build - secondary drive keeps failing

    Hey guys, I just finished building a system but I do seem to have an issue though and I really hope it's nothing major. http://pcpartpicker.com/b/Rg2RsY So since the entire world is still waiting to get their hands on the 1080, I am using my older GTX 480 fermi edition from EVGA. My second...

    Cool, you've been super helpful. It seems many people have paired the H100i v2 with the 6700k processor and are having great results. Okay, everything has been purchased, except the graphics card. Need to hunt that down, but I think that's going to be a mission currently Thanks again for all...

    Okay more questions... Liquid cooling, what's the deal? Went to my local ncix and the guy there recommended the cordair h100. He did say that properly done fans will cool better but it's up to me. I'm thinking really because if I go with the evolv tempered glass case then I want everything...

    Bearmann, all very helpful thank you. I am now curious to see what recommendation you would make for a mid tower and atx sized MB. I am second guessing my desire for a smaller form factor. It seems that I can't really add anything more than the core guts in the future.

    @Stormbrew thanks for the recommendation, but that case isn't really that much smaller than my nine hundred (about 50mm) @Bearmann, i'm liking this EVOLV mITX case... :) to answer your questions. Smaller the better, but I plan to put in 1 ssd, plus possibly 2 HDD, so this case seems like...

    GPU Refresh or complete system refresh

    Rather than start a new thread, I figured let me just resurrect my original one since I actually didn't do anything then. The CPU is the i7-930 btw. Now that the GTX 1080 and 1070 is out, it seems now is a good time to upgrade. My main reason is to get the Oculus Rift. So I'm thinking the...
