    The lack of coloring that is what I meant.

    Can't see anything bad about that. It's black/blue/silver/white. Actually quite decent if you ask me (maybe change the rings on the corsair fans to blue). It's not as if he has some Biostar or Asrock Clown Board in there...
    Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?

    I think he is referring to the inside of the case, non-painted interior of the HAF.

    Also the SP120's are not meant as casefans.

    It's good that he's not using them as such, then?

    I got to say I love the wallpaper the most. As well as just the general mood of the room, looks dark and cozy. HAF 912 isn't half that bad I mean it looks like a big blob of plastic from the outside like they all do but the inside is actually pretty sleek and clean I think.

    Yeah i misread, he's using AF120's on the case.

    Ya, the HAF is a bit ugly on the inside but it has no windows so i don't really mind and i kinda dig the aggressive look of the outside. Although, if I was going to change cases it would be a corsair one, probably the 650D or a C70(even tho I would still probably get some flack from others, I like it). The budget to originally build this was tight, and a case at the time seemed like a great place to save a bunch and this one was only $50 so i cant complain. When i first picked out parts the last thing on my mind was color coordination, just solid performance for a good price. I don't think I paid full price on anything but just a few parts most of it i got on sale.

    maybe when I get bored and want to do some tinkering inside, I'll switch the rings out and see but I'm just not a big fan of blue. I agree that it dose need more color tho.

    Thanks! I cant really find any other wallpaper that i like more.Whenever I change it, always come back to this one.

    sound card - asus xonar essence STX

    cpu/mobo/both gpus will all be water cooled on 2x separate loops

    i have not come up with a color scheme yet and open to ideas

    cyan/xuvial/deltrus i welcome you guys feedback, cyan do i wait for ivy-e? what are your thoughts?

    waste of money and IB-E comes out in about 10 days

    When you're not only buying hardware, but also desks to contain it, you're past the "I'm buying because I need it" and far into the enthusiast range. Nothing strange about that.

    exactly its not a matter of money, yes i know the build is overkill. HELL half the build is over kill, thats not the point. I know how stable sandy-e is but i have not had time to read up on ivy-e like i should

    IB-E for the most part has native PCIe3, and a better memory controller, it should have all of the advantages of IB and none of the TIM problems

    personally i will be going for the 4930K

    thanks for the input like i said i havnt had time to read up at all on it

    only on motherboards with a 3rd party chipset, native support is better obviously

    This is, again, not a thread asking for feedback or advice on what you want to build. Create a separate thread for that.

    A 3rd party chipset would be a plx adding lanes, no? But there's no such thing on a RIVE but on a MVE you have. I posted a while ago a screenshot where I pushed 3.0 x16 on my 2600K, it just basically added 16 lanes making it a pci express 2.0 x32 or 3.0 x16. 8GT/s is the speed of PCIE3.0, right? According to this datasheet of Intel at 1.2.2, it says 40 lanes running at 8GT/s. I don't think theyre going to mention specs of a 3rd party chipset such as a PLX in their datasheet.

    By default AMD just supports 3.0 while Nvidia on the other hand is by default at 2.0 because it wasn't certified as 3.0. Intel didnt really mention anything of being capable of 3.0 but they just advertised it as 2.0. Also there were some issues but after a bios update it was fixed, might have been another reason why nvidia waited so long to bring the patch out.
