Oh I see. Makes sense I suppose. As long as it works I won't complain haha. Thanks for the help everyone. Now the hard part, saving the money for it all lmao. Got the SSD on the way though. The max iops edition went on sale for 70$ off + another 20 mail in. Hard to pass that up.

Ah. Out of curiosities sake, why is that? Is it a just a hardware limitation, allowing only 2 sata3 connections to run effectively per controller?

Yeah, I mis-read the technical specs on that one anyway. There are 4 internal sata3 connectors on that one, they just aren't consolidated under the same category on the spec list :/ The mobo night fox suggested works as well and is much cheaper :) Thanks

Ah that's unfortunate. Was always nervous about sanding down a CPU lol. Though I love the way you sealed it. Great guide thank you.

I'm looking at the Silverstone Raven 3 or the HAF X ^_^ I've got the HAF 932 right now and it's been an awesome case. Thanks for that link. Interesting info, in light of that I think ill go with the P8P67 pro that you suggested. Thanks a ton Night Fox. edit~ Looking into CPU coolers I think...

Hi guys/gals, Just finished school and lookin' for work, so it's about time I get around to building a new computer. :) I've only slightly kept up with the new hardware so I'm at odds trying to figure out which motherboard to get. Got a few requirements: 1) Needs a minimum of 3 internal sata3...

Wasn't overclocked ^^; I'll clean the heatsink out but temps have been like that since the day I brought it home. Thanks for the help. An aftermarket cooler is much cheaper than a new video card hah. Thanks again

Seems strange it's happening all of a sudden. I ran it overclocked to 800/960 (stock is 750/900) for months, without artifacting. That was the lowest stable clock for 80% fan speed. I havent had it overclocked in weeks though. Figure I should underclock it and run it like that until I can...

Thatd's what i'd think. Or if not BSOD, at least a game crash. I can keep playing the game while it's artifacting. It doesn't affect performance in the least, oddly enough. If i was running an old PoS power supply i'd maybe have suspicions about that, but this PSU is the one piece of hardware...

I just ran the game for quite a while with HWmonitor up. load was 83c. This card's seen hotter temps in the past and ATI's stated the cores are safe up to 110c. (Although prolongued exposure to high temps is never good anyway, regarldless of what they say) Funny thing is the game didn't...

Hey there. I've got some suspicions but a 2nd opinion might be nice. Problem just started last week. I'd open up final fantasy xiv and start playing, after about 10 min I noticed a few artifacts and glitches here and there. And over the course of the next 5-10min + the artifacts would get...

Despite all this hate, it's the most fun i've have playing an RTS since command and conquer red alert/aftermath/counterstrike :S I didn't even care for the first starcraft. runs smooth as silk for me at 1680x1050. Notice a bit of slowdown in 8 player deathmatch but doesn't last long :S doesn't...

As far as benchmark goes, overclocked cpu from 3.0 to 3.6 and vid card from 750/900 to 800/950 and score jumped from 1468 to 2682 high. And as far as the beta goes, i've been running it at 1920x1200 with all the options off, shadows on average (medium) and it runs smooth. Only around 30-40fps...

Ah i see. Guess i'll stick with stock cooling ^^; Thanks

related question. can those be installed on a crossfire 5870 setup? seems like it would be too tight but can't hurt asking ^_^
