I have just about finished my purchases.....and will start the build in a couple of weeks (travelling between now and then). Here is most of my list : http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?20477-A-new-ROG-build......parts-and-comments-at-this-stage&country=&status= I'm using the Swiftech...

One option to place two rads in the lower section.....one longer and one shorter.....this rad article may prove to be helpful. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?220874-More-Radiator-Sandwich-testing Another option is to place, say, a RX 480 in the bottom, with both a push pull...

The reason why I mentioned it, I am in the throws of putting together a new WC system, using the Asus M5E and two GTX690 WC. The 690's are EVGA, and as I couldn't buy hydro coppers, I have to go with after market water blocks. So the question arose in my mind as to how to connect these water...

Anyone know the answer to this question? "I do have a question as a result of seeing some parts while doing days and days of research. You can buy a plug...I guess connected via a T somewhere....which is a pressure valve. I last watercooled about two builds ago. It was an Intel 3.2 478pin...

Let me edit that last post...seems I got my 590's and 690's mixed up. Ahh thats better. One thing I have learnt re the fan outlets on the motherboard. Although there are eight (8) the two CPU one's are tied in physically, such that only seven show up when using Asus Fan Expert II. In...

I will ask here as all I get is a data base error in the ROG forums. The manual that comes with this board seems to say that if running two GPU's, that the first card should be in the first slot, but the second should be in slot 2B. There are 4 classic red PCIe slots............but there...

Felt a bit like deja vu when I read this thread. I am also about 80% into building a similar setup in a TJ11. I chose the RX480 instead of 140 mm.....mainly because I am trying to build the complete cooling system controlled by the PMW output of the Asus Maximus Extreme's 8 fan outlets and...

Almost a year ago to the day.......Anandtech put out the following article:- http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3471 clearly from reading that article......the X58 motherboard on the market at that time, had some glaring problems which most likely could be...

I recently purchased a Syncmaster 305T plus, and when playing Warhammer online, I experience a breakdown of video too frequently. I run an Asus Maximus with a 3.0 9650 Extreme @ 3.0. 4gig ram ... the vid card is an Asus 3870x2. XP (I see just over 3gig of ram) Is it possible that this card...

OK.solved the puzzle..........the 3870x2 has 4 video outlet.......one is greenish......and is not a double connection.........once I moved the plug to another outlet, I obtained all resolutions right up to 2560x1600.

Hi Guys, I have just purchased a new Samsung Syncmaster 305T plus, and am unable to go past the first resolution of 1280x800. I am running a 3870x2 which has been advertised to run 2560x1600, which is what I am looking for. The rest of the system is a 3.0 intel quad extreme on an asus...

I was somewhat amused at the following:- http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/...med-nvidia-intel-stuff and also confirmed in:- http://www.crn.com/hardware/203100330 So what can we make of this? It occurred to me, (and I fully appreciate I could be...
