R7-1700X here, no overclock (just bog standard out of the box) utilizing a Silverstone NT06-Pro + Noctua A12x15 PWM in a 'push' configuration, all housed inside a Raven RVZ-01B case. I put it under a bit of a 'torture' (in quotes due to not having full CPU utilization) by closing it in the...

Raven RVZ-01, Asus B350-i, R1700X, 16GB Patriot DDR4-3400, 1080Ti, 500GB Evo 960 NVMe, with a 960GB SanDisk Ultra II for 'main storage', with a panasonic slot load BluRay burner. Running a Nitrogen NT06Pro, with an NF-A12x15 PWM, mounted underneath as a 'pusher' up and out of the top of the...

So had a cracked screen, phone stopped charging. Figure I've been paying for Sprint's Total Equipment Protection, I'll finally use it. They sent me an HTC Bolt as a 'replacement'. Yeah, no. So hoping someone's got a good condition HTC 10 for sale. I'm currently going through the motions...

Looking around @ various AMD roadmaps, and I'm not seeing mention of Zen+ (2nd gen Ryzen) APUs. Anyone got any info? Wife's finally going to let me upgrade her Ivy Bridge system - thinking a Zen+ APU would be just the ticket for what she plays (D3, Torchlight, etc) Thanks!

Looking for an Ivy Bridge i7-3770k to upgrade the wife's system. Let me know what you've got!

Ok, so my Z-5500 is just overkill in my new office. Mainly, the subwoofer has nowhere to go lol. I'm looking for a good quality 2.1 or 5.1 system with a small(ish) subwoofer that will fit under my desk. See attached for the space in question (that's a Mac Pro 4,1 for comparison). So I'm...

Ok, first of all, I really don't like the idea of a 'subscription'. I'm very much of the opinion I buy the software, it's my damn software. That said, I've been using VirtualBox for a very long time, due to storing my VDIs on external thuderbolt/USB3 drives, and being able to transport my main...

For the SteamBox, looking to finally move to 4k in the living room. I'm waiting on my 1070 SC2 to arrive from EVGA, then will be stepping up to 1080Ti SC2 when available. I'm waiting on AM4 ITX board as well. This is in a Raven RVZ01, btw, so I think I can get away with extended SFX as well...

Anyone got any experience debugging a kernel module? Here's a link to the Gentoo forums where I started this fiasco: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8042948.html (also contains the patch I created to make the drivers compatible with kernel 4.7+... ah crap, just realized I need to update...

Finally got my approval and made my payment. Time to pack up the 1070 and get it upgraded :) With the 1080Ti around the corner (EVGA iCX FTW3 1080Ti 'coming soon'), anyone else jumping on the iCX upgrade to StepUp to the 1080Ti? I'm thinking the 1080Ti may be enough for me to finally grab a...

Ok, Biostar's got some rumors of an X370 and a B350 board. Where's the other manufacturer's ITX boards?

I'd like a simple raised 2.5" bracket to mount an SSD to, and then bolt to the side of a case. Does such a (little) beastie exist, or am I stuck making one from scratch? Thanks!

Scenario: Gaming on the SteamBox in the living room, 5 year old heads to bed, I don't want to keep the full surround setup going, so I'd like to find a nice wireless headset to use from my PC ~10' away from me. I'd prefer to NOT go wired, as my wife is blind and I'd prefer to not have her trip...

Just picked up a GTX 980Ti for a deal locally, but it's missing basically all the screws that hold the heatsink on. It's an EVGA 980Ti SC+ ACX 2.0 with backplate. Anyone know the size/thread pitch of the various screws? Thanks!

Ok, I'm comparing this to 5-7 year old LCDs, where running an LCD @ non-native resolution would look like complete garbage. How's these new 4k screens looking when running @ 1080p? Just curious, for those of you running with 4k laptops :)

Front 120mm fan on the MIL's system is locked solid. Easily one of the dustiest computers I've had the (dis)pleasure of cleaning. I'd like to replace her case (full ATX) with something with good dust filters on the intake side of the case. Toss me some ideas, and thanks!

Well, with the new coming in, the old must go out, so I've got some electronics I'm willing to trade/sale. Figured I'd give the [H] first crack @ these, before I toss them on CL. Things I'm looking for: 1. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B 2. Corsair 380T case for an OTG SteamBox 3. ATX/mATX...

Haven't seen anything about it on here. Anyone seen any posts/articles talking about the heat output of that 1080? Long story short, my 2011 MacBook Pro is getting long in the tooth, and I've been waiting for another powerhouse 17" to come along that I feel would be a worthy replacement. With...

I've got an RVZ01 I'd like to water cool, wondering if anyone's sitting on one of those Bitspower 3.5" bay reservoirs, or knows of a good substitute for an RVZ01 case. Thanks!

I do minimal gaming (Starcraft II and the like) - the vast majority of my work is productivity/software development. Looking to replace my dual 24" 1080p monitors (nearly 5 years old). Looking for 2560x1440p (recently got to play with a 2009 iMac and love the screen) - would like to go...

With FrozenCPU gone, what other avenues does a guy have to purchase water cooling equipment? Specifically looking for a pair of G34 waterblocks...

This is a wild stab in the dark, but anyone sitting on a Tyan s8230 I/O shield they'd like to sell?

Looking for a pair of G34 water cooling blocks, 4x180 radiator, compression fittings, pump, reservoir, etc... Looking at water cooling a Tyan S8230GM4NR dual G34 motherboard. Thanks!

I'm putting together a little SteamBox / HTPC. Got everything but the case at this point. I'm looking for a Silverstone Raven RVZ01 if anyone's got one sitting around collecting dust :)

Got an older server that needs a couple more cores (currently running a Phenom II X3) Looking for any speed X6 Thuban cored Phenom II. Let me know what you have and how much you'd like for it. Thanks!

Must be: eATX Rackmount (don't care how many U) 6+ hot swap bays Budget: $300 or less. *edit* FWIW, I keep coming back to either a SuperMicro CSE-822T or modify a Norco RPC-2008 to handle eATX. I understand EEB is the same physical size (12"x13") just different standoff location. Which is...

Can't find any identifying marks on it - thought it was a Grandia series, but Google Images isn't coming back with anything... Pardon the mess. Just traded some old items for it, it's got an AMD something in it. M2N68-AM plus board. Mainly just interested in the case, it's pretty...

I picked up a Razer DeathAdder from BestBuy but ended up taking it back - after about 90 minutes, the rough texture was irritating my palm. Ended up with this instead: Logitech G700s Unboxing So far I've spent about 4 hours of gaming on it - and it's been fantastic!

If you've got an old system sitting around and a spare USB drive, you have a DIY Time Capsule - you just don't know it yet ;) [video] DIY Time Capsule via FreeNAS Thought it'd be helpful to someone :)

Thought this might be interesting for you all! Long story short, dead 9800GT given to me by a friend. Artifacting like mad, crashing, etc. So what do to? First, we prep the card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt0UMJOtvhE Second, we cook the card: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaZ9YKmoQWs...

The RAID version. Yeah, so long story short, had one of the drives die (it's a RAID0 scratch disk) I upgraded from the 2x500GB some time back to 2x1TB WD Green drives, no issues. So I've pulled the drives back out, being RAID0, I'm not concerned about data loss, but I tested both...

Ok, so I have had this 1.0Ghz G4 just sitting around with a bad hard drive for a while. So first things first, I pulled the drive and cleaned it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvdHml4jd8o And installed Leopard on it. Where might I find, or can anyone recommend, some good educational software...

Obligatory video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWhGVvT_nWA Replaced some capacitors on a K7VM4. Stress tested, working good, if anyone's interested :)

Ok, so have an 800Mhz iMac G4 just given to me. What to do with it, right? Well, went to install Leopard - no 867mhz. Now yes, I know you can get around that, but where's the fun in that? Pull the iMac G4 apart instead, and am going to overclock it! Figured with the 100Mhz FSB, 900Mhz...

So I've recently acquired a couple of G5 Power Macs. Power Mac #1 is a single processor 1.8 Ghz air cooled model. Works fine, considering gutting it, selling the parts on eBay, and re-using the case for a PC. Power Mac #2 on the other hand, is a liquid cooled dual processor 2.5 Ghz early...
