I was an NCIX customer for close to 8 years and enjoyed the quirky energetic individual named Linus. One can see his love of technology and also his expectation that tech needed to be practical as well as awesome. Congrats Linus on creating your Media Group. Also, would love any of those Giveaway prizes -
The phone looked huge but it was Linus's hands so the size will not be an issue. Good specs and the screen looks nice. I can see a Sony phone in my future. Liked the look of the skin.

Hey Tim Sorry for the lateness. Haven't been here for awhile. The warning you are getting about the CPU error should not be related how you are connecting the two fans into the the four port section. What I think is happening is you are taking the fan cable that comes from the pump/CPU heatsink and connecting it to a sysfan connector not the one specified for the CPU fan, or if the connections are done right, the bios settings for the cpu fan rpm warning are set too high ( if you can adjust them). Is the Nzxt logo on the heatsink lit up?

Watched the video and looks like they mounted the hue controller inside the case on the bottom with the knobs facing the back panel. This would be where one can mount a 3 1/2 inch hard drive.

I work on a few computers at different places and it is amazing how many homes have wiring issues. I use a tester for power outlets. 20 bucks from a hardware store, plug the plug size tester in a socket- wall or power bar and depending on the diagnostic LEDs, one can see if no ground or improperly wired

Extremely happy with my 780ti and will be using it for likely at least two years. Will skip the Maxwell cards altogether and wait until the Pascal cards are out.

You will notice that one of the four fan connectors does have three pins in a row. Make sure one of your fans is plugged into that fan connector or the kraken software won't show the fan speed. I replaced the kraken fans with two be quiet silent wings2 140mm fans, very quiet. I used the soft silicon mounts with the kraken's long screws and washer. Did a pull setup with the screws coming from the top of the case, screwed through the silicon mounts of the fan to to the radiator. So all you see looking from the inside of the case is the radiator for a clean look. The fans run at 1000 rpm

That Nextpvr looks interesting and I have tried AverTV but that was a while ago so I will look at it too. Thanks nukem and ANUPLUCIFERGAMER. -
Other options than windows 8.1 media center for TV tuner
Scott66 posted a topic in Operating Systems
Hi There just did a new build and finally got myself to 8.1. ( install windows 7 premium, then upgrade to 8.0 pro and install 100+updates , finally download and install 8.1). Now I want to install media center and MS WANTS money. I have a MS remote and was happy with windows 7 media centre until the motherboard cratered, I would prefer to stay with Media center and use it's programming guide and tuner. But the thought of paying more money for a feature I already had irks me to the point I am wondering what other options are out there for tuning software. I have a Hauppage USB tuner stick. Thanks in Advance -
Stickers would work. I guess there wouldn't be much heat from the SSDs

The fans are more quiet than I expected. When running I heard the HD ticking not the fans.

There is now Thunderbolt 2. Going to need a couple RAID5 NAS boxes daisy chained to saturate the 20Gb/s bandwidth.

External Hard Drive Compatible with Time Machine and Windows
Scott66 replied to Wubnaught's topic in Storage Devices
Bootcamp does not allow the windows operating system to be on an external drive. I would use a virtual machine and run windows that way on a Mac laptop. You can use the same external drive to do backup for a windows machine and a Mac but you will need to make two partitions one HFS+ and other dos using Apples disk utility. Then connect the external drive to a windows machine and reformat the dos partition as Ntfs the Mac can read Ntfs but will not make any changes. The window machine will likely keep asking you to format the HFS partition as it will see it as blank space. -
An SSD Is made for type III SATA as they will saturate the 6Gb/s transfer speed. Type II controller will be half as fast.
