    Check out the Zalman ZM-Mic1, I have one and it's a pretty decent mic for $8. Everyone says they hear me loud and clear on Skype.

    It's a ~1200 RPM fan running at full 12v, it's strong enough to where it immediately sucks up the fumes and expels them away from me in another direction.
  3. Interfectorem
    That's the one! Assuming you're painting your components white.
  4. Interfectorem
    Yes you should be able to. I've seen PlastiDip and Lowe's and Home Depot, not sure about Michaels however.

    Then I would save some money and go with the 5820K. Glad I could help.

    It won't add a noticeable bulk to the card. Yes, PlastiDip, when dried, has a Matte finish to it.
  7. Interfectorem
    I would use PlastiDip personally since you can peel it off if you're not pleased with the results.

    How many graphics cards are you going to be using? If it's no more than three, then you don't need to worry about PCI-E Lanes, it'll just add to the complexity, but if you're just curious about what they are. Basically they're direct "roads" that connect to the CPU and can talk to the CPU with low lag. A standard graphics card uses 16 of these lanes, and are generally the most common components that use these lanes. Well anything that connects to a PCI-E slot uses these lanes, but lower priority stuff like Wi-Fi cards go through these "auxiliary" lanes that are not direct, and have a bit more latency. The inherent advantage of the 5930K is that it has 40 lanes, as opposed to the 28 the 5820K, but if you're not using more than three graphics cards, it won't matter. Hope I didn't confuse ya.

    Personally I've only placed my Intel Core i7 and ASRock motherboard stickers (That came with the components) on the top of my case in (IMO) tasteful spots. Like so:

    i7-5820K is your best bet. The other CPU's listed before that are last generation and not really sold much. The i7-5930K has almost identical performance to the 5820K and a lot more expensive, so the 5820K is your best bet.

    Here's a perfect guide for you by JayzTwoCents. This is how I learned to OC my FX-8320 when I had it. Jay also uses the same motherboard as you, so it'll be as easy as step-by-step following what he does.
  12. Interfectorem
    Yes it will handle an FX-9370. The 990FX Sabertooth has a beefy 8+2 power delivery design that will handle the 9370 no problem. I ran a heavily OC'ed FX-8320 (1.45v 4.8 GHz) which is more power hungry than an FX-9590 on a lesser Asus M5A99FX PRO (6+2 power) for months without an issue.

    I've since then moved my soldering activities outside after discovering the unpleasant fumes flux emits and have a 120mm fan constantly blowing away from me so that fumes get sucked up and blown in another direction. Do you think this solution is adequate? Thanks for the response by the way.

    I would also recommend Battlefield 4 Premium Edition for $20 if you want a fun multiplayer FPS.
  15. Interfectorem
    Sure, what's the total amount of money you're willing to spend on the CPU, Motherboard, RAM and GPU? I think we forgot to mention that you need new DDR4 RAM as well for X99.
  16. Interfectorem
    *looks at my specs & sobs* I feel like I'm doing my 5820K a disservice for having a "weak" GPU. But alas, it plays BF4 well for me, which is all I play @Ricky507 I would recommend the i7-5820K over the i7-5930K since it's much cheaper with the same performance. The only thing the 5930K has going for it, is 40 PCI-E lanes which really only matters in 3-Way or 4-Way GPU configurations.

    The Xeon he mentioned is perfectly capable of gaming and everyday use. Although with Skylake, you need a server motherboard for Xeons anyways, so that's a no-go.

    Thanks a ton guys!

    So if I were to go with a unit like you mentioned or similar, I would have the cleaning sponge and the main soldering iron. I would also need solder, which I would probably use Rosin Core solder like you recommended, although if I were doing small jobs on thin wire, would the seemingly thick solder (judging by amazon pictures) complicate the process or is it a matter of practice? If I may also ask, what is tinning flux that @Enderman mentioned used for? Thanks.

    I apologize if this topic is under the wrong sub-forum, I wasn't quite sure which one to choose. Anyways, as a computer and general electronics enthusiast, I realized how pathetic it is to lack the skill of using a soldering iron. Just a few weeks ago, I repaired my brother's mouse that our bunny had chewed through, with Scotch tape (to reattach the cables).... Soldering would've been a much cleaner solution. To my question, anybody know what brand or what type of soldering iron is best? I want to purchase a quality one with the intention of doing fine jobs and keeping it for a while, an investment if you will. My budget is about $50 to $100, and I saw this one and seems to have great reviews. Also, what kind of solder should I use? Any help is highly appreciated, thanks!

    For the world of single PCB GPU's, the R9 295X2 is still probably the most powerful, assuming decent CF support in games.

    I serves to improve the aesthetics is all really. RAM sticks don't produce enough heat to warrant a heatsink. Bare RAM sticks look a bit more ugly IMO than ones that have a heatspreader.

    Definitely when I purchased some 90 degree adapters to tidy up the tubing runs. It went from: BEFORE: AFTER:

    I'm not sure car radiator fluid and moutwash is the most ideal fluid for something like this, but hey, if it gives you better temps and you got it for cheap, why not? Awesome stuff.

    Sorry for my excitement, but hell yes the Nexus 6P is a great phone! I personally own one so this post is pretty biased. I'll reiterate a lot of the points @HannibalBurgers made about it. First off, it's a very fast device that never hiccups or shows signs of slowing down (At least during my usage). The camera is outstanding IMO, and destroys my brother's Note 4 in low light scenarios. I used my phone to take pictures of my PC (Which you can find in my signature), which were done in pretty shitty dim warm light. Battery life is also a plus, I've never had my phone die on me and get around 3hr 30min to 4hr 30min screen on time during my normal usage (Browsing reddit mainly). The build quality is nice and you can get a good grip on the phone, despite me having pretty small hands (I'm 5' 5"). If you'd like to anything specific about it, ask and I'll be glad to help.
