I am currently in the market (can wait a maximum of 4 months to buy) for a new laptop and am having trouble with the current offerings. This laptop will be used for a few things. 1) 2D Game development and low poly 3D game development. (UE4) 2) Main driver for my day job - Virtual machine...

I currently have an Enthoo Primo housing my eATX motherboard and watercooled loop. Life was great until I had kids and now need to move the beast to a smaller space. The case is too large and I don't have the budget to build a smaller pc (Plus this one performance wise is still great for my...

So, after months of waiting....my loop is finished. OCUK was out of stock for XSPC joints which took them 3 months to restock and actually send me. Got to say, this was the poorest service I have had ever in the many years of ordering from them. Hate aside.... I have slapped it all in and have...

So I have tried to narrow it down, its either the motherboard/ram/gpu or bad case wires that must cause this? Need to figure out which part is causing it before I can return. Other than that, I have been reading that you should not connect monitor cables while the computer/monitor is on...

Yes, but even if its not the actual socket (anywhere on the graphics card backplate around the hdmi/dvi slots) I will see a spark. I have not seen this with previous pc builds so was worried.

Fairly new 980ti in a 100% new parts computer. When plugging in the HDMI or DVI is see small sparks on the GPU. It all works fine on but I know that is not right and it could short the computer! The socket they are wired to is fine and it all runs through a surge protected lead (that is...

Would you say there is space to run a tube up behind the res on the right once mounted? or will it look bad?

Got my photon 270 res today and just tried to size it up in the case. First impression is that it feels very well made. The glass does give it the premium feel! It looks like it will be a tight fit if mounted to the right of the GFX card (where I initially wanted it). I should be able to mount...

I had the pastel white coolant in xspc tube running for 2 years. I never saw it split in the way that looks... and I did not change the coolant for the 2 years. perhaps contact Mayhems? Its always normal for coolant levels to drop on a new system as the loop takes time to fill all the little...

So I changed my flow plan for the reversed direction and also decided to add a coolant drainage port too (parts also ordered now)

I know, the only reason I am using a smaller one up the top is because it was spare from the last loop. I put in in the top of the case and you are right, it is just wasted space that would be a crime not to fill! :) I am going to carry on building with the current parts but think I will swap...

Hey everyone. I decided that I would post my project on the forum just because I figured it was time for me to give back a little. My primary reason for this PC is game development with a secondary use for gaming and web design. My last build was in an antec 900 with a custom loop (my first...

I just rewired my crazy house that had spurred cables off the lights going to things I cant even explain. The cooker was on the upstairs lights (cooker is downstairs).... I wondered why it kept blowing the fuse! Also the living room lights also did the lights in the shed and the lights &...

5820k will be perfect for me then :) Getting married on Friday so will have to put the order in on Sunday...otherwise she might shout at me ;)

Thats is quite interesting. Perhaps just an issue with this particular model of PSU then. I decided to order the EVGA one this time (10 yr warr).

To be Honest, I have always been a single GPU customer. In terms of performance per £ SLI always seems slack to me. Many of the applications do not use the second GPU either so I would rather just have a single monster and upgrade every couple of years (or when performance demands it) Single...

I was leaning on the X99 as well.... just wanted to hear another opinion before jumping in! :) Thanks for the nudge!

It says that on the site. Unfortunately I did not register it until the thing went pop so that was my bad. Lesson learned.

I purchased it in 2013 and the XFX support site says its not covered. On further reading there are many people with this particular PSU that have reported similar problems. I was shocked other components went down too, not had this happen before! I will not be using XFX for PSU's any more...

So I was happily using my computer till my XFX750 PSU started making clicking noises and then went !POP! :mad: This leaves me in a dilemma and I am not sure what to do for replacement parts. After several days of testing I have identified that that the PSU also killed the motherboard & CPU...
