any new products competing with the Swiftech H220?

I have a Cooler Master Elite 335 case, $29 free shipping a few years ago, and a decent case although I would like to get an NZXT Source 210 Elite (white). CPU is 2600K currently at 4.2 and 1.325v, it isn't stable at 4.5 even with 1.4+ volts (I think I got a dud). GPU is a Geforce 660 TI, not...

My problem with custom water cooling systems is that there are so many random components out there and it's difficult to figure out what to buy. With closed loop you have like 10 options from the major sellers, and you can find reviews with performance figures, and then compare prices and make a...

Can a GPU be added to the loop of a closed loop CPU cooler?

I got my central a/c fixed today, at 4.5ghz now and 1.365 V (reported by CPU-Z as 1.336 V) I'm reaching 70 C on full load. I tried raising to 1.450 V temporarily, thought that would be plenty for 4.8ghz, but it's crashing with prime95. I don't think temps would be the culprit here, and I...

Aha... what about mounting the H100 in the side panel of NZXT Gamma?? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146061

I was looking at the NZXT Source 210 Elite White case. Suppose the H100 could mount in the top where the 140mm fans go?

I was thinking of getting a new case. I have a cooler master with one 120 front intake and a single 120 rear exhaust, top mounted psu. I was going to get a NZXT with bottom mounted psu, two 140 top exhaust, and an extra 120 front intake. Is the H100 active? Does it have a radiator etc?

Thanks for the link to that thread. I will look at it. I am thinking maybe the newest versions remove the power limit and it's set automatically? Just a guess. Inquiry is for my new build in general, includes settings to reach 5ghz, temps, power limits, and quick sync. All are related, except...

I just tried it. It doesn't enable other options.

Forgot a menu, phase control might make a difference, although I'm not sure what it does yet

yep that's the one, in normal mode but cpu options still limited. techpowerup screens show V23.1B4 though

Hey all. I just upgraded to a MSI Z68-GD65 G3 and 2600k! I'm using a CM Hyper 212+ cooler, and would like to get 5.0GHz if possible. I have read several guides but am having trouble going past 4.5GHz, and wanted to post my bios settings to verify. Also concerning Quick Sync, I enabled the IGP...

My guess is that 1.25 firmware is for 25nm drives only. Check into that.

I'm still reading the review. I presume 240GB is a good amount faster than 120GB. EDIT: Finished reading. Looks like 240GB Vertex 3 is the only real high-performance option (Intel's 510 looks good too perhaps), or wait for Anand to review other drives of similar capacity.
