Awesome, I'm assuming you selected SLI/Crossfire because raw GPU performance is king when rendering?

Budget, anywhere from 2.5k - 3.5k... It's meant to be a semi professional build used to produce minor income

I'm making a build for a buddy of mine who needs a powerful machine for graphics rendering and effects rendering. Normally, I'm used to making builds for gaming PCs so this is a bit of new territory for me, although I know over the years, the line between rendering PCs and gaming PCs has been blurred it would still be great to get some input from you guys Excuse the prices, it's all in Australian, and it's what we have to put up with.

I absolutely love the Nascita!!

My favourite part about the Z2 is easily it being water proof, and I love dbrand because they have that awesome linus tech tips skin!

Cheers for all the responses An E17 goes for about $140, which isn't too bad I don't think. I'll definitely be going just for the E17 now!

Using Sennheiser HD 598's

I'd be using the E17 for both portable and desktop usage. To be fair, mainly desktop

This is just a quick question regarding the FiiO E17 + E09k combo. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 598's and am currently using a internal sound card (Xonar DGX) and am looking into buying an external DAC/Amp. I've read numerous reviews on the E17, and how amazing it is, but none seem to answer my question which is, is adding the E09k worth it? Will docking the E17 in the E09k improve my experience over using just the E17? Thanks in advance Fluffy

Steel Series 6gv2... I find it brings a perfect combination between sound and knowing that you've hit a key nicely

Cheers guys, Prokon I might PM you if I need some extra help

I've read that going over 1.3 is just like, frowned upon, for whatever reason. Do you think it will be fine with my temps?

So I recently built a new PC, using a 4670k and H100i for cooling. I've been tweaking with overclocks the past two days, and I've hit two stable points. 4.4GHz at 1.25v and 4.5Ghz at 1.3v Whenever I stress test each of these, the temps still stay really low, at around mid 60's. When I try to bump up to 4.7Ghz I basically BSOD at login, or when booting. Is this just my chip? Will I not be able to get higher than 4.6, even with my low temps? Thanks guys

Yeah agreed with comment above, you could survive on 8GB easily, but if you do want that 16GB's I would go that. 32GB is overkill and won't be used at all

^ This

It will be compatible with most 2011 boards that are currently available

Thanks for the responses guys

Got a quick question here for all your audiophiles I have a set of Behringer MS20's plugged into my Xonar DGX. I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD558's and I'm not sure where to plug them in... now that sounds stupid but I'll show you. When I plug the HD558's directly into the Xonar DGX the sound quality is good, and it's fairly loud. When I plug them into the MS20's I can't really tell a difference in the sound quality, but the HD558's are much louder than before. So my question is, which would give me better quality? Does routing headphones through speakers reduce quality? Thanks Fluffy P.S. Sorry for huge image

Yeah, my order is getting shipped tomorrow morning, I think I could make the change for 20 dollars... hmmm probably worth it

Just a quick question here, Will I notice any real world performance between a Samsung 250GB 840 series vs a Samsung 250GB 840 EVO, It's a 20 dollar upgrade, do you guys think it's worth it at all?

As much as it kills me to say it, Mac. I would wait for the new Mac Pro if you want a serious Graphic Design etc. experience

So like a lot of people here, I have just started folding, and I am really excited to join this community ! I hope I'm helping someone in the world - http://i.imgur.com/khEPEoB.png I recently made a build with SLI 780's and all that lot, and will be folding on that too, hope it pulls good numbers :D This is such a great initiative that I am honored to be joining Thanks guys Max
