Awesome. Thanks--much appreciated.

I'm trying to put together a new PC, and trying to save as much of my old equipment as possible. How much power would you say is necessary for this build?: CPU:Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K...

I'm looking to upgrade my current rig (Abit IP35 Pro, Q6600, DDR2-1066, X25-M), preferably to a X58 mobo with USB 3.0/SATA 6GB. LGA 775 went obsolete not too long after I got my Q6600, so I'm hoping to get a slightly longer-lasting standard, but it looks like NewEgg only has 4 models, three of...

Thanks. Are there any benchmarks you'd specifically recommend?

I ordered an X-25M 160GB based on Anand's article recently, and was reading through some of the threads here. I hadn't benchmarked my drives before, but was curious because of some results people posted. Drive #1: WD1500AHFD - (150GB Raptor) 50.8GB free - recently defragged...

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

I understand what you're saying. The airflow I felt was from something else. However, I removed the fan and made sure--when my tuniq tower is in the position you're saying is correct, it blows air back into the case. In order to have it blow out, without switching the fan around, my fins must...

I unscrewed the panel, flipped it the other way and screwed it back on. Voila, airflow flowing up. However.. I noticed that my BIOS, for some reason, had reset to defaults. My previously reported lowe temperatures were because the chip was running stock frequencies--2.4GHz. I put the...

Read here on the forums that CPU-Z isn't a good prog for measuring volts. But in response to XboxLPU, using a VANTEC SP-FC70-BL. I reversed the fan blow so it blows up on the Tuniq Tower. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835888112

I'm using a G0. How do I measure vDroop? I've read vDroop isn't actually a bad thing.

I figured out my problem. I went to buy a PCI card that I configured so it would blow air up at the tuniq tower.. and noticed that my two intake fans on the front had been unplugged when I installed the tuniq tower. My old temps were without air coming in the front--only the two side fans...

I'm not trying to sound like an ignorant newb making wild assumptions--I'm just saying what I felt. I'm not recommending he position it any specific way. Merely that he feel where the air is going..

I looked for the answer to this too. I saw people who said "make the pointed edges point down." This was wrong, for me. I felt the hot air blowing on my video card! Just make sure the air is flowing up towards the exhaust.

I'm in the process of trying to find the best balance between overclocking speed and temperatures. My computer build is as follows: Q6600 overclocked to 3.2GHz (8x400), 1.46V. [1.350VID, highest I've ever seen.) Tuniq Tower 120-LFB 120mm CPU Cooler Abit IP35 Pro 4x1GB Corsair XMS2...
