Having a bit of fun with my temporary GPU while my GTX 970 is on the way.

Bloody murder.

[Oasis]

Only thing  to remember when using a Surface [Pro] 3 is the 3:2 aspect ratio, which might make watching videos kinda weird, but other than that, that's what the Surface is great for. I've heard that it simply doesn't compare to a regular laptop for note taking.

Eh, I've been wanting a tablet for a while, even if note taking is sub par, I'll make it work. Thanks. :)

I'm looking to get a bigger case for my comp. Should I even bother with the cases that have a stuff ton of fans or would one(or none) fan be good enough? since I'll be getting a water cooling thing.

Also why are mid towers like $30-50 and full towers are $100+

I think 4 or 5 should be good enough for full towers.

Full towers are bigger and they usually host more features/slots.
Materials cost money; shocker.

i've got three 200mm fans on my case (front, top, rear), should i invest in more?

[Bisjac]

Still ahouldnt spend less then 80 bucks on a mid. I spend minimum 120 on mid.

Full i expect starting at 150.


You dobt want stuff

you can never have enough fans.

seriously though, 3 x 200mm fans is enough, jesus.

wel these three came with the case. these are close to my usual idle temps:

(i've been too lazy to fix what my RAM reads as, it should be ddr4 2133)

>temperatures in fahrenheit
i think im gonna be sick
anyway those idol temperatures are good, however 200mm fans are typically louder. what case do you have?

[Cortunix³]

had help, but here ya good

BUILD (has everything in it): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HYPk3C

NOT SPENT ON COMPUTER: $640
NOT SPENT ON EXTRA'S: $300
TOTAL NOT SPENT: $940

TOTAL: $1,230


this is a rough estimate so i will have enough mula to buy stuff

i've been thinking for awhile, but i gotta ask guys, do you think my cpu fan will fit in my case?

i have a hard time grasping how hot celcius really is so i prefer fahrenheir

i was under the impression that larger fans were quieter because they didn't have to spin so fast. i have a nzxt phantom 630 windowed
