  1. Does anyone know exactly which res pump combos these are ? or which components make them up, i get a glance that they are Alphacool, but searching the web i cannot find them, just got the 1000D myself and want to use them in my build.
  2. Hi AllIve been using the Asus X299 extreme with the Dimm.2 riser and one samsung evo M.2 DriveNow i bought a second M.2 drive today just for extra storage, ive put it in the second dimm.2 M.2 space as i cannot access the second m.2 slot at the bottom of the motherboard due to my graphics card covering the slot.Does anyone have any advice on what needs to be set in bios to get both drives showing.The cpu im using is the 7820x Any help appreciated.Ive tried all settings possible and it still wont show, both m.2 leds are lit red so its showing on the dimm.2, but it will still only show one drive within windows and the bios.
  3. Im back with an almost complete build list - I have gone slightly over budget already and i still need my watercooling fittings and fans etc. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/flamemc/saved/86ZXsY I would really appreciate any input or recommendations, I also decided to go for the 5930k instead of the 5960x <_< Im still trying to work either the MAGNUM STH10 or Merlin SM8 Case into my budget, but the 900D is now my backup.
  4. Thanks everyone for the quick feedback. Just been watching JaysTwoCents - and im almost sold on the case. With the PSU choices i was thinking with upgrades in mind, i know it will be a bit overkill to begin with, but i do want to add 2 maybe 3 980s by the end of the year, Now i am still trying to convince myself to make the wiser choice of the 5930K. But as jakkitts says, I do sort of want the bragging rights a little bit, but im worried that by the time i add storage, case water cooling parts i will be well over the £3000 budget, I think i will go and get a full list of everything i want and maybe list it here in a day or two. Also any heads up on good Rads/GPU blocks etc is much appreciate, i currently have an XSPC custom loop in my current pc but its just a basic loop so im looking at stepping this one up a bit with hardpipes and a full GPU/CPU setup.
  5. Hi everyone, I'm currently looking at building a new rig. I have a decent budget in mind (around £3000 / $4800) and would like some input/feedback, Im also considering putting my build log up as the build progresses. So the parts im thinking of are below (UK prices) www.scan.co.uk i7 5960X Extreme (£761.00) or (Intel Core i7 5930K if swayed but i do want the extreme) Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME (£329.87) @ Scan Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR4 2666 (£311.33) Thats the real killer for me EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1300W (£151) or Seasonic P1200W Platinum (£205.70) EVGA GTX 980 SC SuperClocked 4GB (May consider 2 if budgets change) Now on the case front im in 2 minds, so ive put my choices below http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-sma8/ either a custom config from this company or the TJ11 as ive always loved that case. Also i would be looking to add a custom water loop with CPU and GPU blocks too, but im still looking at all my options for my main components, so any help/advise is greatly appreciated. I use my pc for work/video editing/gaming
  6. Question for intel When do you think 6 core and 8 core cpus will come down to mainstream pricing.
  7. I love the build quality and the boom sound speakers, Good luck to everyone in the giveaway. And btw linus, keep up with the phone reviews.
  8. Retweet - https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/339654562858278912 My account - https://twitter.com/CharlesFlynn1 Top competition BTW.
  9. Cheers guys for the comments, Im going to do a full build log when i get the chance, In work at the moment so dont think it will be till tonight. Btw the xspc res has small green led holes in the back, And ive just gone crazy on leds throughout the build :)
  10. No there was no onboard video, Just put it in for now, Got a gt430 im going to put in for lower power later. And yes its all consumer parts :) Its on a small budget more for learning and so i have a large backup for all my data, I'll do a full post with all the specs etc.
  11. Hi everyone, Though id quickly show my builds to see what you guys think, Will be doing a full build log of all 3 when i have chance.
  12. Cant thank you guys enough for all your advice, Im learning slowly about all the different methods, For now im running server 2008 with a simple ftp server for now, Just trying to figure out how to setup ssh before i start using it for work documents. Here a pic of the server for now, Its on a budget but heres a pic anyways, I will be doing a full build log on all my pcs when i have time.
  13. Yes thats the sort of setup i would like, Basically i would like my friends to be able to just have a drive mounted as if it was local, but its actually the drive/s on the server, and for myself i will just setup a standard home network for myself.
