Bought these months ago. Best sound quality of cheap in-ears in my opinion. Just got another pair for Christmas as watch out, the wire will be the first to break.

A proper closed loop CPU cooler would be awesome! I went air, and while it works, it could be so much better with a closed loop.

Good explanation of why I can't decide yet I already have my desktop running an Intel 730 for virtualization, so I might just dual boot with an Evo. Still, this 850 Pro is a pretty good deal nonetheless.

That is most definitely a friend, thanks! So, would I be stupid going with a 840 evo? There is supposedly going to be a firmware update to fix the slowdown issue, and it is highly ranked throughout almost every review. I mostly use my computer for code, virtual machines, and dual booting into Ubuntu.

Is this worth it? I have an Intel 530 series with 180GB. I have only ~10GB free, and would like to upgrade. Is it overkill to go with the 850? I am also on a laptop, so power saving is something I am attempting to take into account.

Much hype!!! But seriously, found you guys through random builds and product reviews on youtube. After watching (too) many videos, decided just a couple months ago to build a PC, with all the help and support from the forum here. It was a great experience, and while I could probably have figured out the main stuff, the forum was invaluable for helping me choose proper parts and how to build a beast. Thank you for all the content, fun productions, and reviews! -
tutorial suggestion : nvidia optimus on linux?

Nice, thanks! I have actually done this before, with limited success. The new intel chips coming out with onboard graphics also will have support in Linux. -

You are talking about the Bumblebee drivers for Linux, correct? -
50 gb is audio!!! Still, I really love the game, though I'm not normally into FPS. It is repetitive, yes, but the titan vs. pilot shift is amazing. It means you play as a quick, painful pilot on the ground. Then you jump into a badass killing robot, lumbering around and squishing grunts.

Cool, I could see this being an upgrade I do for my Phenom down the road.
-
Yeah, it's not always the perfect case. Also, having to fix any of the mobo connections at the top means I need to unplug the GPU, which is never fun. Otherwise, really happy with the new airflow now, idling at around 30-32.
-
Yep, well just got the new fan splitter in the mail. The cables are much better now (mainly none are reaching from the top of the case to the bottom )

So I recently finished my first build, which was in a Bitfenix Phenom M. I really like it, and have enjoyed the whole process, but have gotten tons of different advice on where to put fans and I would like to straighten this out once and for all. Currently, I'm running a Hyper 212 Evo for CPU cooling with the stock fan, exhausting to the back of the case where a Corsair AF140 is also exhausting out the back. I then have a Corsair AF120 intaking from the bottom, and two Corsair AF120 fans intaking from the top. My GPU is a MSI GTX770 Gaming, which I believe exhausts out the back also, though I'm unsure. Is this a good fan configuration? Upgrading from the stock Intel cooler to the Hyper 212 Evo dropped temps by quite a bit, and I now get idle around 32C, GPU idle around 27C. Here's what it currently looks like: UPDATE: Nicer cable management Everything still look good/make sense?

Kind of. The top is both intake, and the bottom 120mm is also intake. Then the 140mm in the side is exhaust. The front has the PSU, which intakes from the front grille and exhausts out the bottom.

Thanks, fixing
