    Fan Controller

    Had a look at that, although it would look 'fancy' sort to speak, I believe it would be too 'fancy' for the front, if that makes sense? I am stuck between the NZXT Sentry Mix 2 or the Akaska Six Fan Controller...
  2. Recently I have been using a keyboard and mouse not exactly for gaming. However I have been playing more games, and the keyboard and mouse I use is slowly degrading (Right click of the mouse struggles to work) I am looking for a Mouse, Keyboard and Headset/Headphones for gaming, however it has to be under 100 pound. Can anyone recommend any 'Peripherals'?

    Fan Controller

    Simple and basic... Not too bright. Which is good. Any others though? Want to consider other options. I have found an Akasa Six Fan Controller which looks good.

    Fan Controller

    Well to be honest, I am a man about Aesthetics. The Thermaltake core X71 is a large case, and I would like it to be 'full' sort to speak, with me having an AM3+ CPU more cooling the better. I have tried SpeedFan with my 'one' to 'five' cable, but it does not work at all.
  5. Good man! I have that version of the 480 too!

    Fan Controller

    Recently I have bought a few more fans for my Desktop, at this current moment of time I have seven fans and have been looking for a Fan Controller. As of right now, my fans are connected by a single 'one' to 'five' splitter running at 100% however I would like to be able to control the 'noise' levels. I have the Thermaltake Core X71 case, can anyone recommend any good 'Fan Controller'?
  7. I can see where you are coming from, WereCat. But I still feel like my processor is still a valid gaming processor on the market (Not the best, nor is it up there in the best - But it can deliver a good amount of performance. (In my opinion, again) Understand now, at least I think! I will keep you guys updated on what AIO I go for I would like to thank everyone for the help so far.
  8. Yes I know,what I meant is a 120mm Rad could be used to cool one CPU, and for every 120mm 'area' we will call it, can cool one component. Sorry about the misunderstanding
  9. May I ask why the 240mm rad? Do not mean to bug you or anything, but I have heard from some YouTubers you need 120mm for each 'component' watercooled. I may go for the X62 then Thank you for the advice!
  10. Glad you agree, may I ask do you have any experiance with this Water Cooler? Or would you recommend a 'better' one. I have looked at the Corsair H100 series but when researching, the Kracken seems to be the best at 'cooling'... What is the new Kracken Cooler? As apparently they have Kraken X62, X52, X42, X61, X41, X31, X60, X40. Would the X62 be my best bet?
  11. The CPU itself, would bottleneck any of these given Graphic Cards you have selected. As ZM Fong has stated, replace it. Maybe with a Ryzen 5 Processor (Or wait for Ryzen 3's but I doubt they will be for Gamers)
  12. Does not looke like it, it has no 'PCI power connection. But then again, its not one of the best cards. So it does not need more power...
  13. It use to be 67*C when I had my old case (More compact) My chassis currently is the Thermaltake Core X71. http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002790 I currently have 3 Corsair SP 120 mm fans at the pannel with the window on, 1 Corsair SP 120 at the back. Then 2 of the included Thermaltake Ring 140mm fans, going to buy another fan for front side (As it can fit 3). I am thinking the AIO Rad will go at the top (Support up to 360mm). All fans are performing at 100% as they are connected via a Akaska Flex FPS5 cable. (Tried Speedfan and can not change speeds - I will soon change to a 'drive' bay which can support changing fans speed) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CBFA07-45-Flexa-Splitter-Cable/dp/B008PO4X2E/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492628113&sr=1-1&keywords=PWM+Fan+Splitter+Cable+for+5+Fans Very true there, but the thing is I am a man about Aesthetics, I care what it looks like too. Air Coolers do not give off the same Wow 'factor' to me then a Water Cooler but thats my opinion. Its also a thing about expirements. This has been my first PC build and I want experiance in the 'Water' Cooling field if you get me... Again for me its about the Aesthetics but I have heard these 'CPU Heatsinks' as large as they are - Has snapped a persons motherboard in half (Happened to one of my friend). But then again theres dangers in everything.
  14. I will wait on more news about this before possibly doing mine. (If its safe, fail/success chance etc). Do not want to risk 200 quids worth for a bit of extra power...
  15. I would like to decrease my tempurature of the CPU, right now its 57*C on 'load' with the stock cooler cranked up to 50% speed... I do plan on doing overclocking at one point, of which I feel a Stock Cooler would not be able to keep the tempurature 'at point'.
