    Advice for a potential Gaming PC build

    Yes - in a way, it is a revision of the build you have linked where I have swapped out the case, PSU, motherboard, GPU and storage. My apologies as I didn't realize the previous thread was still open. Regarding the motherboard, would the MSI H97 Gaming 3 be a better choice if I do not plan on...

    Advice for a potential Gaming PC build

    I'm almost ready with a new gaming build - I just need help with choosing a PSU and the right storage. Also it would be greatly appreciated if I got some feedback on how the build is. It should be noted that I do not plan on overclocking the system. The build: CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz...

    Advice for a potential Gaming PC build

    My budget is around 9000-9500 DKK. It may be possible to stretch it, but I would prefer it not going to much over the maximum. https://www.komplett.dk/k/config.aspx?ConfigSystemId=10946 I've included a link to the selection of hardware available and it should add up the total price at the...

    Advice for a potential Gaming PC build

    I'm thinking about upgrading to a new gaming PC and since I'm not sure if I could wait until the release of the GTX 960, I decided to see if I could scramble another potential build using the GTX 970 instead. Since picking PC parts out is somewhat new for me, I would like a general opinion of...

    EVGA blower style GPU

    I am preferably looking for a GPU with a rear exhaust because I'm not sure if my case has good or bad airflow and therefore not comfortable with taking the chance with a non-reference card which blows hot air inside the case. The only fan I see in my case is the PSU fan and the fan over the...

    EVGA blower style GPU

    I need a blower style GPU that blows hot air out of the case and I know that e.g. EVGA Geforce GTX 660 is a blower style GPU. EVGA Geforce GTX 660: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130826 I was just wondering if anyone know whether the EVGA Geforce GTX 650 Ti is a blower...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Okay. I'll try to open up my 9600 GT and have a look at the heatsink. When I dusted it off, I only dusted off the exterior and tried to get as much dust out of the fan without opening it. If that does not help then I'll look for a new GPU. Thank you very much for your time. You have been very...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    One last thing: If I get a new GPU like the Gigabyte one, will it then damage the GPU or the fan if I manually jack the fan speed up to maximum speed everytime I open up a game to ensure as much cooling as possible? Or could it potentially cause damage to it?

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Could you describe in details how you cleaned your 9600 GT and reapplied thermal paste? I have searched a bit around and found a video. Could you please have a look at it and tell if your method was anything like that? Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN_gKK6cUzw Part 2...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    None of those sound familiar. I only have a motherboard, CPU, PSU, 2 hard drives, 2 RAM sticks, and a GPU.. Sounds like I am almost ready to go. The only thing on my mind is if a dual-slot GPU like the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650 Ti 1GB and its own fan will be able to run under acceptable...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Well, I have: 1 PCI-E x16 slot 1 PCI-E x1 2 PCI And I believe that my GPU is the only hardware that occupies any of those slots. If that is the case, then wouldn't a dual-slot GPU fit in fine? Can you name any other hardware that could occupy any of the slots mentioned above? I don't...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Well, if I only have one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, then it should not be much of a problem. I'll make sure to check how the space is around the GPU next time I open up the PC.

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Regarding the sizes of the two GPUs, I can see that the Gigabyte GPU measures: Height=4.2 cm, Length=18.7 cm, Width=13.7 cm according to Gigabyte's homepage. And the Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT is stated to be: Height=11.12 cm, Length=22.86 cm/19.81 cm (for the slimer version), Width=Single...

    PC problems and possible Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT upgrade

    Hello. This is my first post so if you need any additional information I will do my best to fill you in. Before I come with my question, it is probably best that I tell you about my problem and how I ended up in my current situation. Disclaimer: This will probably be a long post, but please...
