[Adorada]

What sort of PSU are you both using then? Mine reaches fine and even with cable to spare..

I currently use a Corsair HX750 and I checked it last week and it will go reach up to the top hole in the case but then won't have enough to bend down and plug in.

Doesn't the HAF X have an extension for this? o_O

At work right now, but last time I checked, there wasn't any extension cable/cord for it.

EDIT: I'm braindead, the case does indeed have an extension cable for it.

Surely that 6/8 pin will go behind the motherboard?!

if you are talking about the 4+4 pin CPU power, then no, it's just about 2 inches short, if that.

if you were talking about the 6/8 pin pci-e connectors, then yes! just moved them now, i think i was just in a hurry to finish and forgot about them.
psu is ocz tech xstream, few years old

lol basically the same for me

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can safely put the CPU power cable between the motherboard and the tray, thus saving you a few inches (you don't have to go over to the hole and back this way). You'd probably have to pull the MB out to do it though.

[Aiur]

What PJSand said? It will surely reach if you trail it under the motherboard.

And with it, the cable still does not reach? O_O

If you put it between the motherboard and the motherboard tray, it'll probably cause problems. Behind the motherboard tray, if the case allows for it, is best, and some alrger cases come with extensions for that.

Tis where I've had mine, no problems thus far!

I hate you guys. All that was on for sale on Black Friday and within affordable range for me was Corsair Vengeance (full-heatsink versions). ;A;

I use vengeance, its good ram, not the all out best performer, but very reliable

unless you need low form factor.....

[Drunkenvalley]

unless you need low form factor.....

My NH-D14 does. I could have been able to fit them in the far right slots though, but I'm not really keen on the hassle.

Though, what I'd do with 16GB RAM, again, is beyond me.

[tetrisGOAT]

Like I always say, on the brink of boring people by now, more RAM is only ever useful if you otherwise would've run out. (.. or want to do a large RAMdisk)

I ran out at home due to Virtual Machines. :|

quick question, do you guys think upgrading from 4gb ram to 8gb will improve my laptop's performance in bf3? Or is it just being limited by the graphics card? I've got an HP Envy with an i5, 5650m graphics card in it and getting a lot of lag in 64 player conquest on low settings ) :
Maybe I will just lower my resolution....

Expanding RAM will do next to nothing, the 5650m is the primary bottleneck.

^Look at this guy showing off his read/write speeds. >_< I haaaate him soooooooooooo much!

I wasn't intending to show off, just to try to explain the situation with HDTune

Just ordered this friday, what do you think?

CASE: Raidmax Helios Gaming Mid-Tower
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-2600K
FAN: Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan
HDD: 120 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
MEMORY: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Corsair Vengeance
MOTHERBOARD: GigaByte Z68AP-D3
VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB

I got all of this plus a $99 corsair h1 headset, a tt esports challenger pro keyboard, and a corsair vengeance mouse for about $1150. I had planned on buying components and building it myself but cyberpower just seemed to have such sweet deals and I didn't think I could build it for cheaper by very much. The liquid cooling was free, and i got double memory upgrade for no additional cost.

I'm a bit worried about the Agility 3 SSD as i've read some bad reviews on them, although some good reviews too though. Also i've had bad luck with Gigabyte mobos in the past and this isn't the nicest you can buy so i'm a little worried on that too.

I am planning on overclocking the 2600k , haven't decided on whether or not to OC the gpu with just the stock fans on it. I do plan on adding a second 6950 as soon as I can afford to.

'Tis good, nice build.

That Gigabyte mishap should be a one-off, them and Asus make fairly reliable boards.
But the Agility 3 is a point of concern. I hate making people more worried and I really hope it doesn't die/bug on you - if it does, replace it with a Crucial, Corsair or Kingston SSD as soon as you can :S
