Trolling surely. There's no way you're so thick as to think buying an extra sound card to plug into the motherboard can be more environmentally friendly than using the onboard sound.

Well. Probably not that thick.

edit: looked at some of your other threads- you're a troll or a ******. If I had to guess which, I'd vote for both. As such I recommend you step away from computers and join the Church.

Sound card will not take much electricity and sound difference is worth it.
 
Good news folks is that last 2 components come today SSD drive & CPU.

There are only 4 cables that come with this board two are black and two are blue. Which ones are sata 3 cables please? thanks

I've pulled out old dvdrw and try to connect to my z77 board but there seems to be nowhere to plug in it in. Any ideas please old IDE connector to my z77 ud3h motherboard?

Apparently ide port of dvd drive can be connected to sata and work. Is that right? ta

You can get an IDE to SATA adapter but they can be a bit temperamental and don't always work.

Or you can get an add in card with an IDE connector.

I know you want to be "green" but for £15 you may just want to buy a SATA optical drive: Sony Optiarc AD-5280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

That is splendid advice Surveyor. I will however get this sata optical drive as it has better reviews:

Rest assured fellows that I will not be oc'ing this past 4.5 ghz. That is a reasonable oc and respectable and will not draw much more power than standard clock speed of this cpu. Thus making my pc green.

Overclocking at all is not green relatively speaking, i think building a PC with the specs you're quoting is defeating the object of saving energy.
Stop trying to make out that you're "greener" than everyone else who's using the same kit as you.

I could have chosen 2600k or 2500k, which are cheaper but they draw more power.

I could have taken a 1200W psu like some here. There are not many people who are having same build as I do. Those that do are 'greener' than many.

What I am aiming at is to have relative 'green' PC in comparison to what is already on the market.

A goal which I believe to have achieved.

Those that have contributed towards it through valuable tips, I am very grateful for.

You can keep regurgitating the same nonsense but the fundamental problem with your machine is that it isn't really, when you break it down, any greener than mine if I removed the overclock off the graphics card.

A fallacy going on here.

Very neat build you have going on there Rusty. I will also get same benq monitor. What I have achieved is pc that is using less power and has components from more ecological companies than many people on this forum and overall at that matter.

We both are simply greener than many. A fact which I am proud of. But I am more greener than you Rusty as about 40% of my components are 2nd hand.


I am a winner.

Success, I've put this all together and its working. However since there is nothing spectacular except my system being environmentally friendly, I see no point in releasing pictures. Apologies for that.


I have a PCI express question. I think my one is working at 2.0 and not 3.0. This is because Trixx is showing it as 2.0. How to check if my PCIE is working at 3.0? thanks

My system specs:


z77ud3h; 3570k; 8gb 1600mhz ram; m4 ssd; amd 7850 2gb; win 7
