Build Title: GREEN MOLECULE
Thread URL: Build Log
Description: The Green Molecule is a build in a Fractal Design ARC Mini R2 in which I have modified nearly every component to fit the green and white theme with the molecules twist. The best features of the build are the custom side panel window, the fully custom reservoir in the front panel and the shroud incorporating the pump and res combo into it. Check the build log for more pics.

Build Title: White Metropolis
Thread URL: Build Log
Description:  I wanted a build that was if a small form factor, allowing easier transportation when LANNING without sacrificing cooling power when home and overclocking.  I also wanted to create as clean of a build visually as I could which is where the idea for this came from.  I developed a quick disconnect system from S5 to pedestal allowing me to separate the two.  The name "White Metropolis" started out because I was trying to brainstorm a name that wasn't cliche with a white build and chose it with no intention of including it in the build theme.  That all changed when I got inspired by city silhouettes.  In this build you will find the silhouettes of major cities all across the world such as Hong Kong - China, Bangkok - Thailand and Jakarta - Indonesia because of how they looked.  I've hopefully succeeded in tying all these things together in a visually appealing, high detail design.  Windows all around led for designing ideas that complement the computer no matter which side you look at it,no matter where you view it from you get a different and equally pleasing view.  Check out the log for all custom parts.

Build Title: "Project Iceberg" The Ultimate Watercooled Gaming Wall
Thread URL: http://linustechtips...ed-gaming-wall/
Description: An Idea I had for many years, financially held back from attempting it until recently. The idea was to bring my pc and game consoles together, wall mount and watercool them all.
It's a big project and it all stays cool, hence the name "Iceberg"(first thing that popped in my head). I built it all from the ground up, basically coming up with more ideas on how to mount parts
as i worked through. I had a rough idea in my head of how i wanted it to look but certain obstacles got in the way and I had to improvise. I was sure on a couple things from the beginning, that was
the white and blue theme and the glowing company logos. I'm happy with the result though if there is one thing i may change in the future its the flexible tubing to hardline acrylic.

Build Title: NES 3.0 
Thread URL: http://linustechtips...pics/?p=3201304
Description: This is a build I wanted to do for a long time, Something about putting a pc in my favorite game console from my child hood ,The Nintendo Entertainment System. A few goals I had for this build was for it to be cleanly built inside and out,good cable management and decent airflow. I feel that I succeeded in all three areas and pack quite a decent gaming pc in this tiny shell. This build was purposed built for my family and I to enjoy games and media together.
 
So this is my take on a Retro Classic with a modern twist!

Build Title: The Toaster
Thread URL: Build Log
Description: Here is my latest build. I went from giant (See previous build in the log) to as small as possible. Every bit and piece took precision planning and a LOT of compromise when putting it together. Due to this fact it has been a rolling build for a few months (picture) it took many orders from around the internet to get it right. There is a few modded and improvised parts as well as fully custom fit and sleeved cables (A requirement for a clean looking ncase m1 / small form factor). After using the final build for about a month now I am very satisfied it and believe the investment really paid off.

On modern motherboards, no. If anything, an external AMP and DAC is the way to go.

Build Title: Vault Boy
Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/185376-vault-boy-a-fallout-inspired-build-modded-bitfenix-prodigy/
Description: The Vault Boy is finally complete. An HTPC build inspired by the Vault Boy from the Fallout games. A lot of work and time has gone into this build over the past 4 months. It has been my first ever mod and I'm so happy to finally see it running. The case is a modded Bitfenix Prodigy. The main goal of the mods was to fit as much watercooling gear as I could in the little guy, while at the same time keeping everything nice and tidy.

Thank you for making videos that makes us happy

Original post on Forbes

Many people will swear to Chrome, and call it the best browser currently out in the market. Surely, I do agree.. Chrome has always been fast and responsive and it left us tech geeks scratching our heads to why there really isn't any alternate browser that can keep up with Chrome except for maybe Firefox.
 
The answer is out. Well, it's BEEN out since 2010, but Google totally dismissed it. They ignored it till recently when they were getting called out for it.
 
Chrome, my good friends, has been auto upticking your processor without your consent.
 
A quick run down.
 
Windows automatically idles at 15.625ms per system clock tick. It's internally built in. What is a tick rate you ask? It's the rate at which your computer runs its' events/commands at a set time interval. 15.625ms means that Windows will detect what you are doing 64 times per second. It's a power-saving measure so when you aren't doing anything on your computer, your processor will power down, until you give it the command to wake it back up.
 
Guess what?
 
The moment you open Chrome browser on any Windows PC, Chrome will automatically set your system clock tick @ 1.000ms. Yes, you read it right. JUST BY OPENING UP A BROWSER, your processor suddenly wakes up 1000 times per second to detect what you are doing. Compare that for a second. 64 times VS 1000 times.
 
What does this mean? It means up to 25% power consumption vs other browsers that keep the interval the same at 15.625ms. 25 WHOPPING PERCENT!
 
Ian Morris @ Forbes did a quick and dirty test to see for his own eyes if this claim was true.
 
His desktop @ idle with Chrome open, his computer was using between 15-20watts. Soon as he shut Chrome and went back to idle it dipped as low as 12watts and never over 15watts.
 
Many of you might say.. so what? My computer uses a whopping 3-5watts more. I don't care. The fact is, this is a bigger problem on devices with batteries running windows, like Laptops and Ultra books. If you use a Laptop and have noticed your battery draining faster then you think, then you should check to see if you have Chrome open and running in the background.

Ok as promised, I've spent most of my day yesterday assembling the case, had some minor issue but its fixed apparently I've mistakenly installed one of the back panel upside down and ended up unable to mount the side panel the case in the manual is matte black and they print the manual in black and white.... :rolleyes:   I've a lot of goodies came in yesterday, not gonna flood you guys with plenty of product shoot photo pretty sure you can see the product photo in their website or any other build log    Anyway here's the half assembled Caselabs SM8     Honestly I know I didnt choose the wrong case, this case has everything I want a case to be well built and that full Al  and here's the fully assembled one, pardon me for the finger prints       In the other hand I've received new package for my water cooling     I'll be using a rigid tubing from primochill, the fittings will be all black from primo and bitspower and the tube will also be black though I'm still not sure whether this all black thing would work' I'll see how it goes if it doesnt look good I'll get some other color tubes anyway I'll be using a Di water for this time, I'm done with colored coolant staining my blocks     The other thing that excites me the most other than the case is the reservoir man now I know Aquacomputer make some serious stuff, the quality of their reservoir is just outstanding     and new CPU block for the highlight in the case      Lastly, as I've said MORE STAR WARS     Wanna share my love for keyboard as well, this thing just came in yesterday along with the watercooling stuff its a Korean custom keyboard with custom keyset       This is just a few of my custom keyboard collection    

I demand a revote and declare Trial by Combat. I choose my champion Sir Linus the TechKnight 
 

I'm sorry americans but I'm not surprised.

Interesting... Prepare for Flappy birds madness!!!

I guess they can still spy on you even there.
 
We are all f***ed.

Sabertooth, but neither are necessary. A 99X evo or 990FXA UD3 will be perfectly fine unless you're going to be pushing that chip to maximum voltage. 
 
I would also go with windows 8, and RAM frequency isn't worth the premium. If you can find another 16gb kit with 1866 or higher for cheaper, go for that (assuming the one you've selected isn't on some ridiculous sale) 

* I'm a big gamer of online games such as World of Warcraft.
* I'm planing on spending min $1,000 or max $1,500 Dollars.  
* I'm planing on buying most of these parts on "Black Friday" depending on price that day. 
* I'm not planing on buy all the parts on my list if i find better parts for lower price that day.
