    Ares III Limited Edition vs Sapphire 100360SR

    Welp, it looks like the Ares is gonna sell out before I get my check so I can't do that unless it's still for sale in 3-4 days. Kind forces my hand but the idea of WCing my cpu with a real setup along with the Ares seemed like a nice mini upgrade.

    Ares III Limited Edition vs Sapphire 100360SR

    I have an Rampage IV Extreme so I could do 3x SLI. I also have a 1500w power supply to power them. I'm just worried about the heat of that many, hmm. If I do two 980's in SLI I get true 8GB usable? Saw that WCing is still ez and swiftech made affordable stuff. I'll do some more comparisons...

    Ares III Limited Edition vs Sapphire 100360SR

    I will be purchasing an LG 34UM95-P monitor and need a video card to drive it as I have a gtx580 classified ultra right now. From my terse research the Sapphire 100360SR and the Asus Ares III Limited Edition seem like the best picks. My only concern is that I just have a Corsair H100 cooler so I...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    I want to pick up the LG 34UM95-P but I need a new video card to run it. Figured this would be the best place to ask. Will the Sapphire 100363-4L work? Should I get a beefier card, or run SLI? 60+fps on max settings would be nice for games. I have a gtx580 classified ultra right now so I'd like...

    What RAID card do I need?

    Thank you very much odditory. You cleared everything up for me and told me exactly what I wanted to know. Wish there had been a FAQ as I read that HP SAS thread but wasn't sure if it did what I wanted.

    What RAID card do I need?

    Good to know. I've only started having to move large files around recently and only understand RAID from research not practice. So. How do I cheaply expand a basic RAID card to many drives? Does the SAS plug just connect directly to another card or backplanes only? Or? Right now the Adaptec...

    What RAID card do I need?

    My concern with RAID 6 is that it will be slower then RAID 10 when moving large files around from one array to another. But after researching more it looks like the SAS connectors(SFF-8087) were the part I wasn't understanding. I see now how I can use a SFF-8087 to get 4 sata ports from a single...

    What RAID card do I need?

    I would like hardware RAID. I plan on adding a new RAID 10 array (4x1TB) every 2 months or so. So that would be 4 ports for each RAID 10 array correct? The power at my home sucks and so power failure will happen.

    What RAID card do I need?

    I have just been buying new drives as I ran out of space over the years. But now all my SATA ports are full so I'm looking into raid cards that are expandable. It's been a long while since I looked at RAID and their associated cards and the terminology has me a bit confused with things like SAS...

    Can I safely remove the heat spreader?

    Yeah, I was thinking about WCing the ram. I'm going for a decent OC and figured the extra cooling couldn't hurt. But if there is no need then I wont, thx!

    Need help with a component build list

    Yeah, the uber one has optical in and out. There is a cheaper one that has the same ports but sound is kind of important for my uses so I'll spring for the extra $40 just in case what I read about different ram was right, lol. I'll look at the velociraptor. I've bought nothing yet. It's just...

    Need help with a component build list

    This is what I've come up with so far but I still need to decide on a PSU and a cooling method. I really want to do phase change cooling but then I still have to WC everything else. So advice on WC and WC+PC solutions? I've used the Koolance Exos in the past and it developed a stress a crack and...
