I didn't expect to have to use the cable trick but since the short, clear cables were on back order with no ETA I had to use the ugly Fisher-Price Gigabyte cables which are quite a bit longer. At least Gigabyte changed the color scheme of their boards. I may have a solid side panel now but it...

I'll let you know in the next week or so. When I installed the heatsink the first time it was in that orientation so I don't have anything to compare it to but I'll be giving it the ol' 90 degree turn shortly. In my previous case I was going for bottom to top airflow and ended up getting lazy...

If you're resolution is low enough then that card will screen but once you start pushing it through a 22" or larger monitor you'll start to notice the difference. AMD did a great job covering all price points with the latest generation of cards.

Disgusting. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20100712/uganda-attacks-monday-100712/

Yep, yep. I'll probably do this once I mod the SilenX fan to fit the brackets for the Hyper 212+. Better orientation, better TIM application and a better fan should all help with temperatures. Now if I could just get the danged thing stable!!!

I know. People crammed into tiny rooms loaded with computers only to play for 10 or 12 hours and then tag off to someone else. The money can't be that good and you don't even get to truly play the game in an enjoyable way plus you need to make quotas or you get canned. If that were my job I...

So Korea makes hardcore gamers and China makes gold farmers. Good thing they don't breed and make hardcore gold farmers!

It was probably just something funky at work. I have had it not load pages correctly or at all. When I tried it earlier it took me directly to the CMHD site, not their Facebook site. It works from home though. Thanks Rob!

Can't hit the CMHD facebook page but did the other two.

So tempted to pitch the idea of building a mini-ITX system for my wife.

I miss the good ol' days where you could truly say my card could beat your card without having any extra processes going on in the back ground.

If that is the case is there any wonder why so many of our every day items are made in Korea? Do the same thing over and over and eventually you get better and faster at it. Oh yeah. Then there is the gross under pay and long, terrible working conditions.

So far it looks like a 90 degree rotation is in order. I will say that the top 140mm fan moves a shit ton of air, even at the lowest speed so that's why I was leaning towards at least moving the fan to the top of the heatsink. I had hoped it would suck up some of the air from the two front...

Not sure. This just seems like a niche item to me. You will either love it and rush out to buy it or you will sit there scratching your head thinking, "Huh?" I'm in the latter group.

"...it's recommended that you can play Starcraft with at least 300 APM." I think in my SC hay days I would only clock about 30-40 and that's if I was up against multiple players. Watching someone play at 300 APM would make me motion sick.

I like NZXT. They make great cases, don't seem to over charge for their products and listen to their customers but I have never been a huge fan (no pun intended) of their fan controllers because they simply look out of place on some cases. When I first became serious about computers I wanted...

I'm lazy. So very, very...zzzzzzzz. Huh? Right! In a rare moment of inspiration, motivation and all other positive tion words I'm finally going to do something about my heatsink. Have a look at the picture below. Now I have three options, all of which stem from the fact that there...

I found a neat little tip about the SATA cables on another site but I can't for the life of me remember which one. Behold! The ultimate in high tech cable modification! It really cuts down the clutter in your case and they stretch out as far as you need all while keeping the coil shape...

Hot...as...balls. Period.

Hmm...those budget chips look nice. Bet you didn't think I was going to say that. ;)
