  1. I haven't tried contacting EK themselves, I thought I would anybody on here has a solution first.
  2. Hi I am just wanting to know if the EK FC R9 290X Original CSQ Full Cover Waterblock, is compatible with the EK FC Terminal DUAL Parallel GPU SLi / CrossFire Block. It is advertised on the waterblock page that is is compatible with the EK-FC terminal system, but on the terminal page it says that it is not compatible with the original CSQ design. If these are not compatible could someone suggest another method of connecting the 2 cards, when they are 2 slots apart. I was hoping to be able to use the EK-FC bridge and Link system but that is advertised as not compatible either.

  3. Hi guys Just wondering if anyone else in the UK has had to RMA a corsair product, specifically a power supply. I have already sent an email to the address on the back of the manual that is stated as tech support, but I haven't heard anything back from them yet. Thanks
  4. Hi This is going to be the rebuild of my secondary/workstation rig, that I currently call Prometheus. Here is the old spec of the rig before the rebuild: CPU: Core i5 2500K MoBo: Asus P8Z68-v Pro Gen3 RAM: 16GB DDR3 Avexir 2400MHz GPU: 2* EVGA GTX 580 Boot SSD: 2* Samsung 840 120GB RAID0 Primary Storage: 1TB WD Black Backup: 2* 1TB WD RE2 Raid1 Scratch Disk and Project Storage: 3* WD Velociraptor 300GB RAID0 RAID Card: Adaptec 3805 Fan Controller: Aquacomputer Aquaero 5 Pro PSU: Corsair HX750W Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Here are some pictures of cleaning and tidying the empty case: Here is all the hardware that will be re-used in the rebuild: 2*EVGA GTX 580 16GB Avexir DDR3 2400MHz Avermedia Live Gamer HD Adaptec 3805 RAID Card Corsair HX 750W The case is all clean and tidy now: I will be doing more posts once the old parts sell and I can start to buy and install the new parts.
  5. Just because AMD are going to be making only APU parts, doesn't mean that there wont be any high end/enthusiast parts coming in the future. all an apu is a CPU with onboard graphics. so by that logic all Intel cpus up to the 2011's are apu's. that doesn't stop them from being high end. also just because amd discontinue am3+ doesn't make that platform immediately obsolete or useless. there will always be a more powerful part comming out to replace the one that you have, thats just the way it goes. it doesnt make you part any slower, its just that the newer ones are faster. Get used to it
  6. I use it on my laptop. It works well but I am considering going fully SSD
  7. Make sure that you download the drivers and put them on a usb stick before trying to install windows, load the drivers at the select drive for installation screen. that was the process with my old ocz revodrive, that was the same idea as the raidr.
  8. Is it just me or do you have the case upside-down?
  9. Both cards are using the refrence GTX 580 Cooler with the blower style fan
  10. I'm going to be upgrading my rig with a second graphics card soon, I have been planing to get an extra couple of case fans to direct air up to the bottom card and in between the cards. I;m wondering what would be the best choice for fans, I was thinking AP123's. Let me know what you think
  11. On my p8z68-v pro gen3 the switches have lights above them. When the lights are off the switches are in the off position
