I'm new to RGB and my MSi X399 Gaming mobo has a 4-pin addressable RGB header. I'm using an Enermax Liqtech II which uses a 3-pin. Obviously I can't plug that into the mobo so I have to use the crappy controller which has proved difficult sticking to one color.
Looking at the pinout it seems...
Yeah, I suppose that is true. It's price also certainly doesn't put it in the same catergory as mainstream CLC's either. For the Enermax unit, at least you can change the fluid rather than toss it in the bin and start over. I'm still torn about the direction I'm going to go. I saw that Alphacool...
Also, EK offers an AIO solution. You buy the CPU block and the rad/pump separately.It uses quick connects, but it states they come primed with EK's fluid. I was considering this option, but I don't care for the connectors... they just don't look clean. Everything else about the setup is awesome...
Running the 6800k with a Noctua D15s with two Corsair ML 120 Pros. At stock speeds it runs 22° C @ idle. I just don't see going to 4GHz causing a thermal throttling issue. To me, that article at Toms Hardware is a bit lazy. I'm going to try for a 4GHz OC tomorrow and see how it goes. I don't...
My first PC was a Packard Bell with an integrated Cirrus Logic. It was 1995 and I had no idea of a concept of dedicated GPUs. I assumed they were all on the mobo at the time. My next PC, the first one I built, was a RivaTNT AGP. At the time it was pretty high end.
Unless you're willing to wait to see what Vega will be all about, no question, get the 1070. I would only consider the 480 if you're on a tighter budget and even then, I think a 1060 like the EVGA Gaming SC would be a better card.
I'm selling the last few parts from my last build.
First is a Lian Li PC 7FNWX case in great condition. It comes in the original box with all the packing.
SOLD!
Next I am selling a Corsair AX750 power supply which I sleeved with MDPC-X. Also in great condition and working perfectly...
So, I'm building a new system and I'm going to have to sleeve the PSU. My last PSU I sleeved using MDPC-X and I've been more than happy with it. However, I know there are a lot more options these days and was wondering what other people are using. I have zero interest in paracord or any other...
I'm moving up to a 6800K, X99. HX850i, 32GB DDR4 3000MHz, Noctua D15s, Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, Samsung Evo 950 Pro M.2 SSD and some of the Corsair ML series fans. I haven't decided on a new GPU yet, waiting to see what Vega has to offer and considering the 1060 as well when we have more info...
I'm selling my NAS. It's time to move to a dedicated server and more storage. It's in like new condition and comes with the box, documentation and all the cords. It comes with two 2TB hard drives. The NAS has been reset to the factory settings and the drives had 3 random fill writes and have no...
I would say it depends on what's doing the conversion. If you just want to pass the signal via optical to a good dedicated AMP/DAC then the onboard is fine. You won't gain anything getting a dedicated card. However, if the card itself will be doing the conversion then get a good dedicated card...
I'm selling this Gyration air mouse/remote and wireless keyboard. I bought it for an HTPC and decided to ditch the HTPC idea so I don't need these. They were hardly used and come complete in the original packaging. Includes the receiver, manuals, and software as well.
$40 plus shipping.
I'm selling a Zalman HD503 media PC case. I was trying to sell the PC as a whole but haven't had much interest so I'm parting it out. It will come with the original infrared remote. The case is complete and will come with everything is came with originally, in the original box. Keep in mind that...
