For the SSD you can use the diagnostic utility that comes with the Intel SSD Toolbox http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18455 Windows comes with hard drive testing program. http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html

I would start with your RAM since it is easy to test. Boot straight to memtest and I would run it overnight and see if it comes back with any errors. If memtest doesn't give you any hints I would run diskcheck on OS drive. If you are getting a BSOD it would help to know what the error code...

I would start with all the RAM installed. I would fire up memtest and check on it after an hour or so. If you get errors you know it is RAM and can start trying to figure out which stick/slot is causing the problem. If you don't get errors I would let it keep running for an extended period to...

nice case- the HAF-X has some nice features. The cable management looks excellent. I'm sorry to hear about the wheel breaking. I hope they are easy to fix or swap out for something a little stonger.

You are going to be waiting for a while :)

nice update. The chrome pump housing looks great.

I love seeing some solid iTX boards making it to the market. You could make a pretty compact and powerful PC with a board like this.

I'd say try a 90 degree turn as well. My graphic cards have always been one of the hottest components in my case. If you touch the back of you graphics card it will usually feel pretty warm. I bet you'll see your temps drop if you rotate it so it isn't sucking air off the top of your graphics...

I loved the Descent games. The original Descent was the first "FPS" game for me to really get into. I would love to see a new game in the series with DX11 graphics and a more immersive storyline.

What don't you like about the case? (just curious). Thermaltake has a some pretty products (Element series cases, Toughpower PSUs) and some that are pretty poor. From the pictures is looks a bit cramped.

I own all my movies but that picture makes a great point. If I am paying for a movie I shouldn't be forced to watch so much extra junk.

I can understand that from a review standpoint it is probably best to test with the stock configuration to keep things fair. I have an Asetek cooler (similar to the H50) and it got a couple of degree temp drop off adding a second fan. It was about the same drop as adding a shroud to a single...

I would be interested in seeing how Corsair's new tower coolers perform once they make their way to the market

it has overclocked results ?? It looks like a nice improvement over the Domino. I would have loved to see benchmarks with a dual fan setup.

I think Nvidia had a hand in the high expectations. Combine Nvidia PR with wild rumors and speculation and a 6 month delay and I think most people were at least hoping the long wait would be worth it.

I had not thought of the warranty issue but it is a good point and could mean a lot of lost money in the future.

I have a couple of the blue LED version of these fans in my case. They are a bit loud at full speed but they respond very well to using a fan controller. One of the 3 I ordered makes a small clicking noise but the noise only shows up at full speed.

agree that it is a little over the top but it still looks amazing. Crysis is 3 years old now and it is still one of the best looking games out there.

I heave heard speculation that Nvidia is unhappy with XFX for making ATI cards and that is wasn't just XFX unhappy with the 470/480.

personally I am a little underwhelmed with the new Nvidia cards. I am glad they are out so we can finally have some competition but I don't fold and I don't play any games with PhysX so for now the 480 just isn't worth the extra $100 over a 5870. Not to mention the heat and power consumption....
