Hello world. Proud owner of previous generations of this case - R4 and other products like Node 304. Heed my warning and do not buy Define R6 for more powerful PC configs with big and hot GPUs (~200W+ TDP). Or rather - you can buy, be expect to spend an extra 50-75 USD/EUR more for additional fans t...

Hello, After much consideration I've sold my ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 . Didn't really plan on doing that, but buyers showed up fast and I've made a minimal profit on the purchase (like 55 EUR), because the 970 I've bought initially had an insane discount (50%+). So after a month of enjoying inte...

Hello, tuned my GPU fan profile and now I'm more or less happy with the results. :) I consider this build closed and a great "success". haha :). My experience is described here . Thank you. All your statments about the Asus GTX970 i agree, i used to own two, and in SLI it get very loud, to the point...

Hello, build assembled, with some issues along the way. 1) Hyper 212 EVO - did not fit, I almost feel bad about caring to check specifications of both the case, cooler and mobo before this, but it boiled down to one of the mounting legs being blocked by a chip on the motherboard. Hooray for MSI for ...

Hello everyone, Thank you for help and suggestions. I've looked through the node 304 owners thread and other resources suggested in this topic. I sacrificed the modular PSU idea, because Seasonic G series was not available, the case is not transparent, I have good experience with this vendor - "Be q...

Hello, struggling with some hardware availability issues here. ;) I'm going to be building a gaming version of Node 304. It's going to be equipped either with GTX 970 or 980. Intel Core i5 4690K for now. No decent mobo choices for the new platform + a higher price tag on newer platform components th...

Hey guys, Thank you for the great suggestions and input. Some of the final components i went with were limited by product availability in my country. the suggested CPU coolers were overly expensive compared (~2.5x times) to EVO 212. the new line of PSU from Corsair I didn't even consider, because of...

Hello Steve, thanks. ;) Gfx: 1920x1200 at this moment. I don't expect to buy a second monitor any time soon. I planned to go with the dual video card setup my last two builds but as 4-5 years have passed - the SLI/Crossfire technology didn't mature enough to provide real x2 performance for me to nee...

Hello, Intro & Trauma This is my first attempt at building something more quiet that I've typically done (I haven't concerned myself with this previously). My last failure and trauma comes from getting a rig with a " CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ". This thing's fan was loud at any amount ...
