Recently purchased an i5 4670K with a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UH4d motherboard. Case is an Antec 900.
First, will the Big Typhoon even fit properly on this board/CPU?
Second, will it provide adequate cooling compared to new air coolers, or AIO water cooling systems?
The Typhoon was helping my...

This may just be coincidence on older cards, but I gotta ask...
Kid's PC:
Asus P5G41-M LE
Intel E6500 dual core
2GB Micron RAM (not sure exact specs)
no sound card
Antec Earthwatts 430W
So at first I thru him my old 6600GT to start him out. Well, after a time, this failed. Lockups, crashes...
Got my hands on a copy of Win7 64-bit, and was thinking of upgrading before I tried it out. Specs in sig.
Was thinking of getting an i3 and overclocking it's ass off, but doubtful the 8800GTS 640 can keep up with the newer games.
Should I just install Win7 on the machine in my sig or...
But wanted some other opinions.
I have no trouble with it, no crashes, nothing running badly, no curious oddities that are unexplained, etc. Though I am curious how well it's suited to my rig and if it could potentially be an issue that I am not seeing...
Okay, I have the demo. I'm primarily a RTS/MMO guy. I can balance a 72 man raid and get all those people moving and coordinated. Yes, I know it's not a big deal :)
But damn it if I can't play a FPS for shit! I've got 60+ frames, a cable modem with decent ping, nice laser mouse for...
I'm looking for a kid friendly MMO that my 8 year old can play. Webkinz are fun for him but it results in us buying more of that damn stuffed animals. :(
Not sure what's out there, but is there there anything like a lemonade stand MMO or any along those lines?
He watches me play Dawn of...
With my gear in my sig, I upped the BIOS voltage to 1.45v. CPU-z shows it as 1.213 or near. Is this accurate? If so, that's a hell of a vdroop.
So can I bump the BIOS to 1.5+ if I am infact losing that much voltage?
Trying to get her to 3.5 stable for shits and giggles, if not 3.6...
I need to add more/better cooling for my Antec 900, specifically the 8800gts 640. Not sure I want to mess with removing the stock HSF from the 8800, so was looking into PCI slot fan.
Also, I have an XtremeGamer, so I am unsure how much room I would even have to add a new video card HSF (at...

Not sure of the validity, but a good read.

Since I upgraded to the PCI-E setup, time to unload rather than packrat this stuff.
Anyway, PM me if interested.

Thanks guys, should have checked the rules up front. Appreciate it.
Namely, as far as I have set up dual monitors on my system, I have wanted to have an MP3 player and various apps on the 2nd smaller monitor. So I can change songs or surf game info while playing Vanguard or another game.
But when I mouse over to the 2nd monitor and click an app, the main...
