  1. Silverstone AirPenetrator if I'm not mistaken
  2. You don't need to go with the Maximus series or the Sabertooth the advantages are better components and some extras
  3. The case is impressive, it looks awesome
  4. Yes but for an APU you would want to get faster memory
  5. I would go with either one of this two
  6. Either 3820+MSI X79A-GD45 (4 dims version) or 3770K+MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Edition The first one if you plan to do video editing or rendering the second if you plan to use it for pure gaming
  7. The sleeving is spot on, it goes perfect with the pink mesh in the front
  8. Check this on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_form_factor
  9. The power supply you use depends on the LEDs you choose The things you should look for are voltage drop of each LED (meaning the voltage at the LEDs terminals) current drawn by each LED (meaning how much current the LED draws when in use) After knowing this you add all the voltages and currents and you have the values for the power supply you need A regular LED has a 2V voltage drop and a 20mA of current which means if you add 2 sets in series of 10 LEDs in parallel like you want you would get 4V of voltage drop 200mA of current However I advise you to do 2 sets in parallel of 10 LEDs in series and for this configuration you would get 10V of voltage drop 20mA of current On the transistor side I advise you to get MOSFETs as they are more suited to handle bigger loads than a regular transistor
  10. Depending on if you want to overclock you can go with i5 3570 (K if you want to overclock) i5 4670 (K if you want to overclock)
  11. The wings are used in extensions to give some extra security to the connection They aren't really needed and you shouldn't worry about them If it bothers you, you can always cut them
  12. I think you only have two options You either do a fresh install on your new SSD or you use a cloning software and clone you HDD to your SSD
  13. A friend of mine was having a similar issue and he managed to solved it (at least for now, never had the issue since) by un-installing the graphics card drivers, do all the windows updates and reinstalling all the most recent drivers NOTE: He was using Windows 8
  14. What Operating System are you using?
  15. Try this until it works unplug every connection and re-plugged them check if your RAM is correctly seated clear CMOS try other PSU
  16. With that budget you can get a better system than that you can either go with a FX-83XX or with an i5 and a mATX motherboard And please don't go with a PSU that comes with the case usually they aren't the best quality
  17. It's a T-Balancer It's a controller that let's you monitor temperatures, the flow of a water cooling loop and use that information to make adjustments to the pump and fan speeds Yes, Linus has one on his personal rig Even the most elaborated system usually don't require more than 4 channels to be controlled Don't get disappointed it*s a powerful device that allows for great control Similar to this device there is also the Aquaero which is also a great device
  18. Get 8GB of 1600MHz memory if you are just gaming you won't see much difference if you get anything more then that If you plan to do rendering or video and image editing then get 16GB of 1600Hz memory
  19. You don't see socket 2011 being used that much because it's an expensive platform and it's more designed for workstation use, video and picture editing and rendering Usually it doesn't offer much benefit on a gaming system as a socket 1155 or 1150 system and has a big price difference
  20. Get a Western Digital or Seagate 3TB drive
