You can attach a microphone to your existing headphones. I'm using a Moov Mic Boom microphone , it doesn't get to good reviews on amazon, the one I use is an older version, perhaps the build quality was better back then. And if the bad ratings is a scare there are other products out there that achie...

So for anyone who might be interested, here's a small update. I've made a quick stress test with Prime95 and Furmark, running them at the same time and each on their own, it seemed my system got more stressed with just Prime95 running alone. I used both HWMonitor and ASUS fanXpert to do some measuri...

So I got my parts, and I've pieced it all together now (though my living room still looks like a battlefield, if one where fighting with cardboard and small plastic bags). I haven't gotten around to doing any actual testing with fans or anything of that sort yet, but I thought I would share some of ...

I don't think many vendors have a Kotetsu in Denmark but I will check it out for sure :) I was in the same situation when I was putting my PC together last week. I found Scythe on a couple of danish web shops, but I only found the kotetsu on these two: http://www.compumail.dk/ (where I ended up buy...

EDIT: Just having finished a similar build, I feel that 3 case fans is way overkill. There doesn't seem to be anything to generate that much heat. If I continuously max all cores on my 4690K I reach 60°C and 1200 RPM after a while. In a compact case without fans. So there's still plenty of margin, ...

The 4690 is €40 more than the 4440 (~25%). When I read up on the differences of the two, I only notice the CPU(0.4GHz difference) and GPU(0.1GHz difference). So if I decide to get the 4690 and then underclock it, wouldn't I end up with essentially the same CPU as the 4440, or am I missing something ...

Wireless: The Intel part looks like a laptop solution...where's the antenna? Yep you're right, I linked to the wrong one, the one I was thinking of is this: Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth for Desktop (I'll fix my first post as well). About games and monitor, I got an ASUS PA246Q runn...

It's been a while since I last put together a PC, and back then I didn't care about the noise. So now I'll like to upgrade my current setup with something new and not as noisy. My primary use is gaming, I rarely play anything heavy. So far my current GT9600 has been just enough for the games I've pl...
