  1. Hm, I think we just ran into a similar issue with the above comments, those sticks are too long for my case. Lol I really want it to work in the case i have chosen
  2. Yah? Is there any chance you know the proper way to hook that up to the monitors? 970's seem to have a DVI-d, DVI-i, HDMI, and a display port. What would be the proper rigging?
  3. Ok cool. One last thought: Hooking up all 3 monitors to the first video card with display port to HDMI adapters is the correct way to do it right? Then have nothing on the second video card
  4. haha okay, got any recommendations? One of the reasons i picked the dominator was for the 2666 or so Mhz
  5. Ill cross my fingers. If it just barely does't fit could i unscrew the metal piece that covers the top of the RAM sticks?
  6. I think ill do the MSI then so long as there isn't a large difference between them. I'm a little worried about the Dark Rock Pro 3 fan being too large though. Any chance you know much on that? It is rather large based off the youtube videos i've watched.
  7. Wait up. According to this site with these specific GTX 980 video cards: http://www.amazon.ca/MSI-GTX-980-GAMING-PCI-Express/dp/B00OD38516/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1417487787&sr=8-6&keywords=gtx+980 They are only 279mm long. and the case has a 290mm clearence according to this site: http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=699 Am i still good?
  8. Well dang. Looks like I'll be finding a larger case. Is it just me or do larger cases not look as nice? lol, thanks for the help mate.
  9. Those are my video cards right? are they too long?
  10. Hello! So I'll be building my first computer soon and I've been doing some extensive research, but seeing as it's my first build, I'm wanting to check with some experts on the matter before i start buying. So I want it to be a high performance gaming PC, with 3 1080p monitors that hold a high frame rate and overclocking. Here are my Specs: CPU: i7-5930K CPU Cooler: be quite! Dark Rock Pro 3 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X99-Gaming 5 RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2800 Storage: (two of them)-(WD Velociraptor 1TB 3.5'' 10000RPM HDD) && 250GB SSD 2.5'' Video Card: (two of them)-(Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980) Case: Zalman z11 Plus HF1 (mid-tower ATX) Power Supply: Dark Power Pro 850W 80plus Gold Optic Drive: Blu-ray OS- Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit) Monitor: (three of them)-(AOC i2367Fh 23-Inch IPS Frameless LED-Lit Monitor, Full HD 1080p, 5ms, 50M:1) Then Speakers (5.1 surround hopefully), keyboard, and a mouse. The whole point of this PC is to be run with little noise, and extreme power for heavy max setting game play, coding compiling, and video rendering. Some of my thoughts behind it are: My MOBO supports a possible 64GB of RAM so i got an intel core that also supports that for the future. Which is also why i got the professional OS, for the home version didn't support over 16GB of RAM. The power source and fan are supposedly some of the least noisy in the business and I'd love to hardly hear my PC even during intense use. And i believe I'm going to need to buy 3 display port to HDMI converters for my 3 monitors right? The case said under it's specs that there were fans that were (optional), should i get the case fans for that?? Also, will everything i have fit in the said mid-tower case? I really like the look of it compared to full tower cases so I'm hoping it will but I don't know. So please tell me if this will work the way i want it to, if there's something I'm missing, or something I need to keep in mind?? All comments are welcome, as i said, this is my first attempt and i want it to be awesome! I realize the build will probably put me around 4.5 grand. I want it to last many many years with very little upgrades.
