In terms of eco-friendliness, perhaps you could look at some longer-term things, not just the components? If you're serious about it, you could switch to a renewable energy supplier. If you don't already, get digitally distributed games. Try to make the rig last as long as you can.

It seems like you might have already chosen, but ITX mobos can be less power-hungry. Obviously no SLI though.

It's a very admirable goal, really good to see someone making eco-friendliness a priority!

Cleanthes thanks for recognizing how noble and great I am with this idea. People say am not so good but it appear that I am so good, as perhaps only a handful of people on this forum have made eco friendliness their priority.

There's nothing even slightly 'green' about building a gaming pc! You're using pretty much the same components as most other people are using. There is nothing about your build which sets it apart as less environmentally unfriendly than anyone else's.

This is where you go wrong blue160. I have specifically chosen components that are better and greener than others builds. Even by small margin but nevertheless are so.

To name just one, I have chosen Kingston memory. I could have gone with samsung but they are ones that deal with foxcon men. Kingston on other hand has passed various ISO green credentials samsung dont even know about.

Its this little extra mile that counts. As many will surely know and recognize. God bless

I wouldn't base too much on the ISO 14001, its pretty much standard for most businesses these days, the company I work for acquired 14001 status a few years ago, all we had to do was setup a re-cycling system to get it and we are a million miles away from being a 'green' company.

You should be looking at other things rather than tags a business has and what power consumption their parts use, for example buying from someone that actively supports rainforest trusts etc... would make more of an impact than your machine saving the odd watt.

Fantastic point made pgi... That brings me to start up a thread where all those good detectives from this forum could show off their amazing inquisitor skills tracking most eco companies at moment.

BTW do you know any company in PC market that supports rainforest trust?
 
Wont be using headphones at all so can give this sound card a miss. However people say that onboard sound of z77 ud3h is really bad even worse than onboard sound of z77 ud5h.

Vinni3 @H|H Dont need that hat. I am naturally green.
 
Anyone know how to configure the z77 ud3h well? I am not sure of those options:

1. enable or not CPU core?
2. XHCI?
3. EHCI?
4. Seems it only has marvell ATA controller. but I hear intel one is better what to do?
5. Ahci mode on marvell contorler?


thanks
