I'm an extreme layman but let me lay it out a little for you .

1) from what I understand more phases means smoother and stronger power delivery so that gives a more stable overclock

2) boards...

You're spending a little too much on the power supply and you're probably going to want a bigger SSD if you are going to put your Lightroom catalog on there, which I suggest doing. So perhaps two...

On this list you can take out the WD Black and add 3x 1TB Western Digital Blue drives you wouldn't notice a difference aside from slightly higher power consumption.

I recommend Swiftech Apogee XT (Rev2) for a CPU waterblock or you could re-use the FuZion with an LGA 775 to LGA xxxx adapter (the newest couple sockets have the same hole pattern).

That link works but it looks like you've got an older LGA 2011 socket when what you need is an LGA 1150 socket with the Z97 chipset. Not the X79 that you have there. Also, it looks like you're...

Here's the revised build before I order everything, probably tonight. I already bought a Sapphire R9 290X 4GB Model 100361SR for $320 from eBay. The crucial MX100 256GB was also recommended to me, if...

Used cards are fine by me. I wanted to leave open the option of installing hackintosh is why I was going with an Nvidia card, I've always bought ATI cards in the past and looking on eBay that R9 290X...

I'll be using it for gaming, distributed computing, multimedia and internet browsing. I have a D-Tek FuZion LGA775 waterblock but no pump or rad. I also have an old 1440x900 LCD, Antec P180 and Mx518...

I just started reading this paper on dim and dark silicon that may shed some light, no pun intended. It's at least very interesting.

Here's the Ira tech demo:

That's a very innovative idea and compromise with the wife. The EM field of the amplifier won't damage the hard drive or anything? I don't know much about this stuff.

Looking forward to seeing...

When will we be seeing petabytes in this count? (1 billion gigabytes)

I am interested in buying one what's the batch number?

My friend bought the following components and would like to top it off with a good CPU-Mobo combo for under $400.

Antec 900
Corsair 620HX
1TB Seagate 7200RPM
150GB WD Raptor 10,000RPM (old...

Here's the hardware I already have, I just need to buy a decent CPU and motherboard to go with it that doesn't cost more than $500.

G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB 8-8-8-24
Sapphire 4890 HDMI 1GB
Seagate...

Installed WinXP on that hard disk and booted twice on that other computer without installing drivers, put it into the laptop under primary HDD set as SATA1 it still says "no operating system found"...

I sometimes make mistakes but I installed Vista Ultimate, on that hard drive myself... using another computer. It was set to SATA II in that other computer now it is set to SATA 150 using jumper. I...

I have a Sony VAIO Laptop that posts fine, goes into BIOS, but refuses to detect a newly formatted. With NTFS OS Vista Ultimate brand new laptop hard disk. This piece of...

My jaw is hanging open, but to be on XS you expect to be surrounded by such excellence, 5GHz on TRUE Air cooling with an i7 975 Engineering Sample :)

I would recommend another case, either the CM 690 or a full bigass tower the Antec 1200 :eek::D

And jesus man for that price get a GB UD5 mobo

I like and use the Samsung series of LCD panels they have great specs. Look into the BW series LCDs.

If you need OC potential not super ultra overclocking options go with the Gigabyte UD5, else go with the DFI Bloodrage (???) X58 board.

Great write-up, perkam :shocked:

When can we expect sub-$300 Bloomfield cores, and at what pricepoint intel PC schema would that fit in?
