  1. Any decent 500W PSU will be fine. If you do see yourself wanting to get another GPU later on then you may want to get a 750W PSU. My recommendations would be for a 550W get the Seasonic Platinum Series one, and for a 750W get the Corsair AX 760 or AX 760i ( The AX760 was oem'd by Seasonic while the AX760i is oem'd by Flextronics)
  2. The retailer you bought it at should give you a code, then you take that code to NVIDIA's landing page for the promotion and enter your information. You would be emailed shortly after the codes for the games.

    GENUIS!

    Im not sure if you meant to spell genius incorrectly or not.
  4. Not really sure why they did, I guess that is why they called it an overclockers dream back in march of 2013, because, you could literally take any Z87 motherboard and its OCing potential was dependant on the CPU instead of the quality of the motherboard.
  5. Glad to see you have found the error in your mounting, let us know how it goes.
  6. Also they moved the VRM from being apart of the motherboard to on the die of the CPU.
  7. If you look at the backplate of the h100i cooler, one side is slightly skinnier arms that go across to the holes of the socket. That side must be on the side where the two screws are on the back of the socket in order to not have uneven spacing. Example: http://cdn.overclock.net/a/a7/350x700px-LL-a71b1057_backplate.png Also, 1.3V on Haswell is on the higher side for a 4.3 OC, it appears you didn't win the silicon lottery.
  8. You can have two cards running at different speeds in SLI however you SLI config will "technically" run at the one clocked lower. I've had SLI configs with 3 cards all at different clock speeds, didn't really make a difference.
  9. This is untrue, when using Crossfire or SLI, all cards in the configuration will have the same image in all of their frame buffers being rendered at the same time.
  10. You can clone your HDD->SSD, through software for example; Samsung Magician. However, When you do clone from HDD->SSD your SSD wont be "Aligned" properly.
  11. The real question is; Why would I want to?
  12. What wifi card do you have If its going into a PCI connector it may be that the bracket that is attached to the back of the card is that of a shorter variant.
  13. The Builder series from Corsair are absolutely fine. If you don't plan on adding in a 2nd video card your fine with 600W you can even go down to 500W and be fine. As long as its at least got some 80+ certification and has all the over current protection verified and written on the packaging your fine.
  14. The real tragedy is you paid $20 for that game.
  15. Yes you could but you would have the same radiator capacity so It wouldnt make a difference. Also You would have to mount the 360 in the bottom furthest from the front and you would be limited to just a 120 on the opposite side in the bottom,
  16. No it wont, you can have a 480 in the top a 480 in the basement 240 across from the one in the basement and a 240 along the front and a 140/120 in the rear.
  17. Buy a PSU from a brand you trust (Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone) with 500-600W and your golden.
  18. 1500 Watt PSU for the 550-600 Watt System. The record has been broken. Unless your planning to add 3 more 290X cards and swap for a 4930k and OC it to 5ghz I don't ever see you getting 1500 Watts used.
  19. The right side panel does not fit on the left side and vise versa, They lock in through rails and when u invert the panels the rails are on the bottom, instead of the top.
  20. Yes you can buy a wifi card for that mPCIe Combo 2 thing they have. However, You will need your own antennas and the cables that the adapter uses to connect to those antennas.
