    I'd rather save $100 and buy a hero, unless you want the 'thermal armour' look. If you really need bluetooth/wifi there are plenty of intel pci-e solutions that will cost a fraction of that, function better and don't neuter the best feature of Z97 with a 60mm only m.2 slot.

    There is nothing scary about direct-die other than the fact removing the IHS can be a pain. Back in the day the best chips were direct die cooled, and you rarely had people cracking them. I kind of miss those days, 2500M was a beast.

    2560x1600, it does NOT downscale my recordings to 1080.

    You'll see why fairly soon.

    Another hyped up release that falls flat, thanks no competition!

    They're premium priced, but no better quality wise then any of the other Chinese OEM's

    Lot of butthurt over IPS in here, though I can understand if people are used to $200 TN junkers being the "leet gamer" standard.

    FT03 Mini is a great case, and like most other mITX, requires hardware planning before blindly buying. That's the only knock against it, and it's nowhere near as flimsy as the N1 is.

    All you're doing with vrm, chipset and ram blocks on a haswell platform is adding cost, restriction and more points of failure to a loop. It's for aesthetics only.

    Tube is always superior if you have the room.

    Do not use anything aluminium with direct water contact in your loops, period. Direct res options that are small are an EK d5 multi or the aqualis d5 100. And FYI the Hadron rad is copper tubes with aluminium fins (totally fine)

    Get some GT's, not those cheap knock-offs.
  13. KylSp
    Those are universal blocks, so they're not $100

    You will have multiple prompts requiring a yes to initiate a flash, there won't be any 'oops' that you haven't said yes to a couple of times.

    It's not difficult, just make sure you're getting the correct firmware. This is slightly more involved on motherboards with integrated LSI controllers (like my supermicro X10SL7-F), but just as easy in the end. Nice guide

    You're not going to notice any real world performance over a stock 780ti overclocked, so you probably just got hosed for $100 bucks.

    Just self delcare your package, no brokerage fees (just duty / gst / hst). Aquatuning has no fees as you pay up front, but they've upped shipping / brokerage a lot since they launched a couple of years ago.

    Silence and the fact my GPU maxes at 46° instead of 85° with no stupid loud blower fans or even loud case fans. My AP 181's on low are barely audible outside of the case.

    Vic20 with tape drive

    What's your plan data cap? That's what really matters in this day and age. Novus has traditionally been very strict on cap enforcement.

    Unless you are over-volting to the point the CPU will be dead in a year, VRM blocks on the haswell platform are totally useless.

    The LED's they carry are cheap junk, that's the explanation.

    Swiftech is a rebrander for most of their items, pumps being Liang D5 or DDC's. They are not any better then any other OEM rebrander for Liang pumps, and in some cases are a fair bit more expensive depending on your geographical location. And as for the worries about intl shipping, ordering from frozen or sidewinders with shipping via USPS <> CP, most things will be a decent bit cheaper then shopping 'local' with Daz, and the selection is 10x better. If you're up on things, self-declaring with UPS is an even better shipping option.

    Get the 170, the 270 is just too big to be useful in most cases.

    The build quality (especially with rotaries) is the best in the industry. That's why they're popular.
