    Worklog: Lian Li PC-Z70B Black Edition

    OK, I'll check tonight when I plat BF3 which is on my SSD. After an hour I'll touch it to see if it's hot. SSDs or Corsair SSDs doesn't have internal heat senors. OK tomorrow.

    Worklog: Lian Li PC-Z70B Black Edition

    I turn the PSU upside down because when I'm working on the PC, I don't want screws to drop inside and the cables are longer when the PSU is upside down. If I turn the PSU right side up, the cables will be shorted and in a case like this, the cables barely reaches as it is. Using HWMonitor, the...

    Cable Management. When the wires are sleeved next month, this will look a lot better, but for now it's clean enough.

    Worklog: Lian Li PC-Z70B Black Edition

    The video card was a little tough to get in, mianly because one of the wire management clamps(will post a photo of them tomorrow) was right behind the PCI slot holes, but I'm sure the coat had a little to do with it also. I would say the most noticeable difference in tolerances is when sliding...

    Worklog: Lian Li PC-Z70B Black Edition

    The frame was raw aluminum and most likely blasted before powder coated. The fitment of the parts were butter smooth. The finish looks textured, but it's almost as smooth as a standard finish. Also the Wrinkle Finish makes the PC super durable against scratches, dings and doesn't leave finger...

    How sacrilegious would it be to powder coat an FT02-WRI?

    The powder coat will be more durable than the current red paint SS used. I was thinking about flipping it to a Titanium color at the time. So long as it looks good, creative and cheap, go for it.

    Lian Li PC-Z70B w/ Wrinkle Powdercoat Project Canceled - Sold the Case This is more of a appearance mod than a construction mod. This case has been powdercoated using a Wrinkle Coat. Later I will install a custom window design into the side panel using waterjet cutting. The pace will be...

    How much better is an IPS monitor?

    IPS is like a brand new jet black shirt. TN is a black shirt that has been washed quite a few times. Fuzzy and faded.

    Official 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

    Wanna bet your PC on that? You don't want to see Miami again, but you will and take the Championship from Dallas once again. Game 1 in United Center was a guaranteed loss either by 1 or 20, didn't expect Heat to win.

    Crysis 2. Anyone buy it and currently playing it?

    Question for anyone: When you first started the game and checked you graphic settings, what was the default setting, High, Very High or Extreme? What card are you using?

    Is Sandy Bridge REALLY worth the wait?

    I feel the same way. Just finished my build and this is the best chip I've ever owned, Very fast and super cool 21-24C @ idle. I'm actually happy I bought it before the recall.

    Newegg drops 1155

    ???? I'm trying to make sense of that statement but.....It makes no sense. Maybe my rig burst into flames yesterday but it's still running for some reason. I'm the one rejoicing since no one can buy these parts for atleast 30-60 days. Motherboards will be in limited supply until late March...

    WARNING: Micro Center Motherboard Scam

    I never heard of leaving a item behind while you go home. Anything can happen and it did. Never leave anything in the possession of the store. Also, calling the cops was unnecessary. They can't do anything since there's no crime in progress, a waste of law enforcement resources.

    Gtx 480 nearly as power efficient as 6970

    At stock clocks the difference isn't that much between the 6970 and 480. But, when the 480 is overclocked the power used increases a great deal.

    Decided to return XFX 6950 unopened

    Sounds like a bunch of yelling. You totally ignored my ownership of over six AMD cards this year. This isn't some part of my imagination. I stated my experience and others around the web. Saying Nvidia has problems too doesn't cancel out the habitual problems AMD continue to have. You're...

    Decided to return XFX 6950 unopened

    I returned a 6870 when it was first released after five hotfixes and still didn't fix the BFBC2 performance problems and they caused flickering in other games. 10.10/a/b/c/d/e all in 30 days each with it's own performance numbers, nothing consistent. Then in November more of the same...

    GTX-580 Tri-SLI or Wait for ATi 6990 Crossfire?

    After being forced to use the 10.4 drivers until 10.9 with the 5970, I wouldn't buy another dual AMD card. Three GTX 570s are better. The third GTX 580 will be bottlenecked. Crossfire drivers and profiles are no good. A Hotfix Party.
