Buy a fan controller is just about the only option if you want to be able to vary the speed of them. If there are some fans you are willing to have 100% all the time then, you could get some molex adapters and plug them into your PSU. Then the ones you need can have a header on the board.

will an amd athlon be good for this?
bmwbaxter replied to ictdude1's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
short answer NO. long answer, depends if you are willing to play on the lowest setting and aren't running a high or even 1080p res. -
something like this currently on sale even. :)
-
Buy a cheap gigabit switch, since pretty much 100% of motherboards now come with gigabit Ethernet ports, a switch is all you need.

Here is a review I did on the H100 over at overclockers.com 4o C was the difference in that review.
-
Phantek's have nearly identical performance to the NH-d!4 but look a lot better and you get choice of color.
-
+1 to this being better than any of the above. The NH-d14 is on par with first gen H100. also better since it has less to break.
-
it would be pretty nice, but personally like wired better. So I wouldn't spend anything on it, although I could see a $50 premium being added to such a product. The technology already is around to make such a project possible. Also people like different mouse pads(feel, material...etc) so it would likely be a pad under the mouse pad, since lots of users wouldn't like changing their pads.
-
either the H70 or the Coolit AIO unit. both will offer similar performance and will both benefit from a push-pull configuration on the fans. EDIT: the fans aren't too loud unless you run them at max RPM.

Need some suggestions for my water cooling build!
bmwbaxter replied to Cacao's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
That is true, but still a single 360 is not enough rad. I was merely giving facts as to why he is doesn't have enough radiator, so I didn't come off as someone who just gives an opinion with ZERO data. -
Read my EDIT to mull that over :)

you will have almost twice the resolution of a standard 1080p three monitor setup, so I am just pointing out that memory could be an issue. you could also consider getting the titans and going with a z87 build, at that resolution your GPU's are far more important than your CPU. or buy 2 titans and see how they handle your needs you can always get another in the future. EDIT: 2 GTX titans have 77% of the total number of cores of 3 GTX 780's and have twice the VRAM. Also you may lose 25% in scaling on the 3rd 780 anyways. Go with 2 Titans.
-
I know it is a huge price difference, but you don't want to run into a vram issue. since when you run an SLI/CFX setup you don't get 3+3+3 you ony get 3GB. Which is why I suggested getting Titans. An alternative would be the 6GB 7970's they are decent performers and scale very well with CFX. Depending on when AMD releases there next line-up of cards you may have options there. What is the time frame for this build?

What thermal compound should I buy?
bmwbaxter replied to Evan Owen's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
+1 MX-4 is the best until you start getting into the really expensive and generally not practical ones. -
X79 build then, and seriously consider getting the Titans due to the 6GB of vram unless you are willing to wait and see if they release a 6GB GTX 780. Not worth paying extra for the unlocked SMX units on the Titan but it is worth it for the VRAM.
