  1. So I can't see to shut my Pc off with the power button is there any other ways I can do this safely and what case connector needs to be changed
  2. So just curious what you guys think I should do with my Pc. New to the game and I see both sides say do this or that. I wanna see some solid evidence on why I should do that. I also have a husky so dust and hair is an issue so best configuration to minimize would be good too. Thanks!
  3. Alright so I have my new PC ordered and I have just being doing a little bit of side research. I came across Linus video about push and pull. I was curious to see what u guys think is the best. I would like to put my fans on the bottom of my rad mainly because they are led so I want to see that.so the only thing I don't know is do I push air through the rad or do I pull it.
  4. Alright guys, so here is my final build plan for my PC. All prices are Canadian and from NCIX. I am shopping from this store because they price match and I can probably cut a deal to get a cheaper price. Now for what I want this PC to achieve. I want it to be a workstation (Adobe Programs), and a gaming PC. I do have plans to keep upgrading; I would eventually like to get a second 970, 16gb of RAM, another SSD and HDD, and a second monitor. So hopefully that explains my choice on the motherboard and Power supply. I also have plans on overclocking the GPU, and CPU. Now, I know AMD is cheaper for both CPU and GPU but I am an Intel and Nvidia fan boy at heart. Plus I am not really on a cheap enough budget to want to swap them out. Not to sure about my peripheral choices so I would love to hear what you guys think. Any help particularly on the monitor side would be huge. I also have a Scheme if you can’t tell. I really like blue in my build so I went with the Blue, Black, and little accents of white. Finally my name for it I was thinking Stratus. So tell me what you guys think and I am open to any suggestions. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/kXDPNG Tower Motherboard - MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition $179.99 CPU - Intel Core i5 4690K Unlocked $289.99 GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 $439.99 RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL7-8-8-24 1.5V Memory Kit $79.98 Network Adapter - TP-Link TL-WN851ND $22.99 CPU Cooler - Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100I $119.99 SSD - Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB $64.99 HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB $59.99 PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1 750W 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply $99.99 Disk Drive - ASUS DRW-24F1ST $24.98 Case - Corsair Obsidian Series 750D $169.99 OS - Microsoft Windows 8.1 64Bit $119.99 Lighting - Logisys Dual Blue Cold Cathode Kit 12IN 3.0MM $8.99 Total: 1681.85 Peripherals Monitor - Samsung S24D390HL 23.6in Widescreen PLS LED Monitor 1920x1080 FHD 5ms 1000:1 HDMI VGA $179.99 Mouse - Razer DeathAdder Chroma Edition Ergonomic Gaming Mouse 6400DPI 4G Optical Sensor Synapse 2.0 USB $79.00 Keyboard - Thermaltake TT eSports Poseidon Z/TT Illuminated – Blue Switch Edition USB Full Backlight Keyboard $89.99 Mouse Mat - Corsair Gaming MM200 Compact Edition Cloth Gaming Mouse Mat $14.00 Headset - Logitech G430 Lightweight 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset ON-CABLE Controls LAY-FLAT Earpieces Mic $59.99 Surge Protector - Belkin BV108050-06-BLK Surge Protector 8 Outlets w/ 2x USB Charging Ports - Black $16.99 Total: 439.96 Complete Build Total: 2121.81
  5. I was told installing water cooling on AsRock was an issue did you find this?
  6. Would this board work with my set up? Intel Core i5 4690K ( want to over clock) 2x GTX 970 16gb of G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-1 I also want good placements of Fan headers for the H100i i want to put in
  7. I was reading online and i herd that the AsRock fan header placement wasn't great for water cooling. I was curious if you guys knew about this or how true it is?
  8. Alright, I need some help picking a motherboard. I have some hard needs to meet for a motherboard. I am looking for a Blue color scheme, Sli support, overclocking support (basically don't want it to burn out), good fan header layout for an all in one water cooler, and I need it to fit into a price point of a $1500. I had originally picked out the AsRock Z97 Extreme 4 but after reading online I saw that the Fan layout would be difficult for an all in one cooler. I was just wondering if that was %100 true or if you guys had different experiences?
  9. I was talking to my uncle(He is a computer tech) about my PC I was thinking about building. I mentioned that I was looking into this motherboard when he informed me that it wasn't all the best for gaming. He had said AsRock is mainly for home theater builds. I was just wondering what you guys thought about this. I had selected it for its color scheme and expand-ability for GPU's. I was also wonder how over clocking on this board was?

  11. . I also forgot to ask if overclocking on the board would be an issue
  12. Hey guys bit unsure about the compatibility of the motherboard I am looking into so I just want to double check that it looks all good. CPU: i5 4690k Ram:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 GPU: Gigabyte 970 g1 gaming in SLI PSU: Evega 750w
  13. Do i need some kind of adapter with most LEDS like a Molex
  14. Needs some tips on where i could put some cathodes in a Corsair 750d. I also wanted to see some examples or thoughts on how i could hide the wires plus adapter. Oh I am trying to hide the lights so its not to hard on the eyes.
