  1. So I want to replace my motherboard, and I am just unsure if the Win7 on my hdd will work if i get a different motherboard, or if I'll have to buy a new copy of windows. Kinda a stupid question that I don't know the answer to, but I don't want to buy a new mobo and find out I need to buy another windows key.
  2. There is no blue screen, I have to hit the reset button, and the only other thing somewhat differing from regular pc hardware would be my wifi card, its pci. Thanks for the guidance so far.
  3. So lately I've been getting random crashes on my pc. Since it started I did a fresh install of windows, and I am sure it is not a psu problem, I have been monitoring voltages and such. PC is well cooled and fairly dust free. Could it be a mobo problem? Also ran the windows memory diagnostics and no problems there... Usually crashes when there is little load on it, like watching youtube, or browsing; but I can leave it for hours just installing games off steam with no problems. Its running a MSI 970A g43 mobo, fx 6300 no oc, and a r7 260x gpu, and a seagate 1 tb ST1000dm003 hdd and a evga 600b psu and team elite 8gb ram.
  4. I would go with Seagate. I have had good experience with them, and so have all of my friends that have built pc's. They are pretty quiet and fast, and quite reliable. For the most part I've only heard good things about Seagate, and bad about WD.
  5. Keyboard is a Cooler Master Quickfire tk, mouse is a Corsair M65, mouse pad is a Perixx DX-2000 XL.
  6. Thanks for the help! I will get working on further overclocks tomorrow. Also I will probably get either the 780 or 970 depending on prices when I get around to purchasing.
  7. Alright, thanks! Also in the last few minutes I managed to find GTX 780's for $310 and a few 970's for $330. Since that is only about $30-$40 more I could try and make that work. I think it could be good future proofing for when I end up upgrading my CPU/motherboard.
  8. I have a Cooler Master Seidon 120V. I would OC it more but I am unsure about the voltages. What voltages is his at?
  9. I want to spend $300 or less on a new graphics card, and not sure what to get. I have a 600 watt PSU, which I'm pretty sure would be able to support most higher wattage GPU's. I also have a FX 6300 @3.8ghz, so I don't want to waste money on a GPU that will have power not being used if there is a bottleneck at the CPU or anywhere else. I was already thinking about a Sapphire Vapor-x Tri-x R9 280x, But I just want to get some other people's thoughts on the subject before I make any purchases.
  10. I'm not sure, I just replaced the psu and got the seidon. last I checked temps my cpu and auxiliary were both around 45 C idle with a old CM TX3, now the CPU is at 35 C and the auxiliary is at 61 C average with the seidon.
  11. I only have HWiNFO open, after reading a bit many people have said speedfan is unreliable.
  12. I recently upgraded from a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 to a Seidon 120v, and it has drastically reduced my cpu idle temp to an average of 32 C, but my Auxiliary temp is in the 50-60 C range, and I was wondering what Auxiliary is and why it is so hot. With the TX3, it stayed around 40-45 C. On speedfan it is labeled as Temp2, but HWiNFO it is Auxiliary.
  13. That looks really cool, The cable sleeves look really cool man.
  14. That thing is pretty cool, but wouldn't using wood make it really hot since wood is a insulator?
  15. Haven't been following to closely, are you going to use compression fittings for the water loop? If you are, with that block I think silver fittings would look amazing. I see the barb fittings, but also saying to ignore them, so I'm just confused on whether you are going to change it.
  16. I almost hate when I see deals like this, here I am paying the same $120 for my R7 260X 2 months ago when I could have waited and got that. I feel cheated of my money, thinking I was getting a deal.
  17. Thanks guys, after a while of searching around, I got the Thermaltake Urban R31. Going to receive it soon.
  18. I have never heard of the Corsair Mach series, and after a quick search, nothing showed up.
  19. I am looking at buying a new pc case, and I found the Enermax iVektor which I thought looked cool, and I was wondering if it was any good. I have never used Enermax parts and have no idea on the quality. I also looked at the NZXT H230, which is on sale and I like how it looks, is it any good?
  20. Thanks guys, I think I might wait until I can afford a better card, even though I originally did not want to wait.
  21. I want to upgrade my gpu soon, and I can't choose between getting a second R7 260X (I already have 1 installed in my pc) and getting a R7 265. If I got the 265, I could sell my current R7 260X if I got a 265, so the expenses would be the same for either card. I am on a tight budget and would like to save money wherever possible, but I want the extra performance boost. I really can not afford a more expensive card than a R7 265 at the time.
  22. The R7 265 would be your best bet since you can get one for about 150 US dollars.
  23. It depends, if you have a lower budget or if you are just trying to spend less, get the AMD option. If you have a larger budget and don't mind spending more, get the Intel option. If you are doing multicore applications, get a FX 8320 or 8350. If you need a cpu that does single threaded applications, get the Intel as it will be faster.
  24. Radeon R7 260X, I have one, and I have to say they are very under-rated. I run all my games maxed with good fps. Not a high end card, but it gets the job done nicely.
