I know that's $25 over your budget, but it's a big step up in performance.

The case you picked had a power supply, and also no price

Toss up between intake and exhaust for me. But if it's a car without Bluetooth you gotta change that right away

AFAIK intake and exhaust provide similar small HP "gains", but Exhausts are more noticable in terms of sound difference

B250 is an Intel chipset.

I've made this mistake before

That has never really worked on me, it makes me more tenacious about going against the rule that landed me there in the first place.

And thats the exact opposite of what theyre trying to instill in you. It's not done because they like making your life difficult

"rather outdated"? z270 is less than a year old... And Mystic light is just MSI's version of aura sync. They're both basically the same thing.

Basically the same thing doenst always mean theyre officially supported....

It's still possible they function, but thats a risk you take on your own. MSI's website says the following LED strips are compatible though

If I get all the same GPU I could then connect them in SLI configurations.  So maybe I need to work toward that goal.

SLI is not used in a mining configuration, and most rendering applications. It's mostly used for gaming, and since your primary goal in this case is not to game but to mine, SLI would provide no benefit

The Enthoo Luxe TG is a retrofited Enthoo Luxe, it wasnt super advertised as "NOW WITH TG" like the P400 and Evolv ATX were, so basically the entire Enthoo lineup was quietly upgraded with TG (Enthoo Luxe, Enthoo Pro M, etc) It's a decent case with okay airflow, and is one of the only TG cases that natively supports 6 3.5" drives because phanteks didnt change much of the interior layout.

because majority of the cases under $50 looked like Raw dog shit, and these arent THAT over my budget. trying to save a few bucks caused a lot of stress and headaches as I learned from yesterday while trying to use an OEM motherboard in a normal case when there was something in the back of my head telling me to buy a normal mobo for months. 

Understandable. 

Also would like to mention; if youre going with a specific RGB ecosystem (Aura Sync or Mystic light,) I'd suggest the P400, as it's RGB strip can natively compatible with those softwares. If not, all three come with an RGB controller anyways.

Well at least my potential problem was already thought of and semi solved. The FTW3 cooler is pretty decent too. Maybe even with the sfx psu it's still too close so the second fan isnt getting enough air.

Regardless though, 79ºC isnt bad in terms of temperature, but maybe the fan noise to keep it at that temp is

im wondering if someone could do me a favor and measure the width of the card+block from the mainboard to the end of the card where the fitting go in.

 

You could probably as EK, the would most likely be able to give you an answer

Purely looks based, the P400

I'm surprised you're not looking at a $15 case, considering how outspoken you were about spending <$50 on cases before  what changed your mind?

the vardar fans, are they quiet? i dont want fans that sound like a jet..

Jayz2cents and Bitwit both have used them and Bitwit specifically has praised them for their quiet operation, though most likely thats with some fan speed settings (but this is true for literally any fan on the market)

I have owned mine for a while and never finished my water setup and plan to move to a better air case. But here is my question what is the going price for a tj07 used. Their are none on ebay to compare it too. I'm am getting a Cosair obsidian 750d Haf to replace it.

Thanks

Relatively speaking it still has some value. Sure it's not the $300 it as at retail, but if you clean it up and make it look shiny, a case like that could go for maybe $75 (I'm no used case expert, just comparing it to new cases on the market)

Hi! Im looking for some new fans to put on my radiator. right now i have some crappy case fans and i feel like i need to upgrade them. Can you guys recommend any fans for a 360mm radiator? are any fans on this page good? https://www.inet.se/kampanj/4005/corsair-hostkampanj

I've heard a lot of good things about the ML120 series. The EK vardar and Noiseblocker fans on the link @Bananasplit_00 linked are also good from what I've heard from reviewers and people on the forums, and theyre cheaper than the Noctua's

Make and model to be revealed after I get a couple of opinions. It's a non FE card that autoboosts up to 2050mhz /if/ I set the fans to auto and accept the rpm/noise going to ludicrous speed.

I dont know why you cant just tell us that but okay?

IMO it's a little warm, but considering it's not a FE card, then that means you have an open air cooler of some sort and one fan is almost pressed up against your PSU so it's a bit starved for air

That moment when you know its time to go home

"Yep, I did this. Frame it and put it on the goddamn wall honey. This story will go down for generations"

Theye either confirming it, or the Asus twitter employee is a legend at trolling. Maybe they hired the Girl who did the Wendy's tweets?

(Also sadly this is not "news" worthy, at it doesnt fit the criteria and post guidelines)

Can I change a setting somewhere to force the GTX1080 ti to use only 4 lanes and then be able to add a third GTX1070 Seahawk to the last PCI slot on my Tiachi Z299 Motherboard?  And have all 3 GPUs using x4 each?

I believe your motherboard should switch the 1080ti to 3.0 x4 automatically if you insert the third card without you needing to manually change anything, but I'm not a multi PCI-E slot knowledge wizard, that's just my understanding of it.

You are the third person to suggest the cx550m psu, will this be enough for the 770?

It's a really solid unit, and for the money, you cant beat it in it's class (in terms of overall quality)
