    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Here guys! I didn't install an H80 because I decided it'd be a waste of money but I did do some custom paint and cooling to my PS4. I figured some of you'd like to see. As for the cooling I used a dremel to cut a square out right above the native internal cooling fan and I used super adhesive...

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Yeah, I know i need the cooler on the CPU or at least connected to it with conductive parts but I can't think of it...well...actually the cooler is pretty much a large sheet of metal...maybe I could cut out a square through the metal sheet that the cooling block of the H80i can go through and...

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Ehh...I think it won't look too great but I'm only going to do it if it seems I can do it without bricking it. Doooon't worry, it won't be a useless paper weight! BUT if that's your opinion, it will be regardless be ugly (if I can figure it out) haha

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Yeah, it is effective. The guy got his temps down to 18 C. And yeah, the video gives me a good idea of how it should look and mount, but I am more asking how I should mount the cooler on the CPU because the socket isn't the appropriate size. I'm contemplating if I should just drill into the...

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Hell yeah! It's just fun man, I spring at every opportunity to learn and attempt things like that. It's blissful and, hey, I'd feel good knowing that my PS4 is running at 20 degrees C, that'd just be fun to know I suppose. I just want to know a few things of caution and advice before I drill...

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    Here is one of the installations that I've found. Very interesting to say the least. Seems like a fun project to watercool my Sony Toaster lol:

    What should I upgrade first? GPU or CPU?

    100% GPU. I have been using my Intel Core i5 2500 for about 5 years now I believe and I have the nVidia GTX 970 and I can run nearly all games on max settings. CPUs are very reliable and strong past a certain point even though as an enthusiast I love great CPUs, that's the truth.

    How to install an H80i GT in a PS4?

    I have a PS4 and I am into modding computers and such and I don't stray from a challenge. As the typical PS4 runs fairly hot, I would like to put the latest Corsair H80 in it. Now, I know that there are no proper mounting spots for the H80 in the PS4 and it all has to be improvised, however, I...

    New $500 laptop for mother

    Definitely not a bad buy but I think, especially for your mother, a $250 laptop with a 500 gb SSD upgrade would be the same price and much much faster.

    Upgrade My Intel i3 3110m

    I'm not sure if you've done this as well, but I noticed that you said you want the fastest performance out of your PC. The number one thing to do is be sure you put a solid state drive in it. That is without a doubt the best upgrade for speed. Then after that check to see if you have one or two...

    Custom Budget Gaming PC

    I agree with JohnB about picking a standard ATX board because Micro ATX boards just looks silly in my opinion. If you are saving money, you could probably drop the power supply to 500 watts but I am a fan of getting larger power supplies than needed so you always have room for future upgrades...

    Will My Internal WIFI Card Upgrade Be Noticeable?

    Will My Internal WIFI Card Upgrade Be Noticeable?

    I have an ASUS laptop, the model isn't important, but the internal wireless card that I have is the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 with it's specifications being found here - http://www.cnet.com/products/atheros-ar9485-802-11-b-g-n-wifi-adapter-1x1-network-adapter-series/specs/. It dawned on me the...

    nVidia Geforce GTX 580 Issue

    Damn, I figured as much. Just in case this thread comes up in anyone else's searching, I just want to say that using a different graphics card does fix the black screen issue. I guess this card is trash.

    nVidia Geforce GTX 580 Issue

    I have this 580 card that works properly when it is barebones plugged in. Then once I install the drivers and restart my system, the BIOS works perfectly fine but Windows will not boot. I see the Windows logo and then the screen goes black while the rest of the computer keeps going. I have tried...

    Looking to Upgrade

    One last thing, if you have the spare money and you do plan on doing little bits of gaming, this card might server you a bit better: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Cooling-Graphics-02G-P4-2951-KR/dp/B013WQCC8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446703621&sr=8-1&keywords=nvidia+950. The last one I...

    Looking to Upgrade

    I don't believe that there would be any issues or complications. I don't BELIEVE that you even have to plug in an extra power chord into that GPU. You might have to plug in one 6 pin but i doubt it. Other than that you'd just need to plug it into your motherboard, uninstall your existing...

    Looking to Upgrade

    The first thing I'd like to point out is that your card isn't incompatible with Windows 10 because it is old, it is because AMD is lazy and decided not to update their drivers because they felt it wasn't worth their time. Now the thing is, graphics cards themselves aren't incompatible with...
