Dang...

 

Basically, it's RM=$*3.3

 

@Haiby

 

I forgot to ask about the mobo :

So I should just get any mobo with 2xSATA3 and 4xSATA2, since any more than that, the performance would be reduced?

Get the 1230V2 if you're not going to overclock. For mobos, I like MSi and Gigabyte. AsRock and Asus are fine too. Just be sure to check if the board supports the 1230V2.

 

It's not that performance would be reduced. You want to use native ports for the best performance. Ports running off any other controllers have reduced performance.

And I only have links to Newegg due to the fact that they show some decent photos.

(and a few extra features probably like VT-d or trusted execution. Too lazy to check). I think your choices are the i5-3330 or the Xeon E3-1230 V2.

 

Why?

 

RAMDisk you're going to need a lot of RAM. 16GB min so you have 8GB RAM and 8GB RAMDisk. Remember, you need 3rd party software for that and it takes time to load things into RAM, which means that loading time is basically limited by your hard drive.

 

That's different. You also use fans in water cooling. You need fans on the radiator. Running it passive won't do you much good.

 

That makes it simpler. I'll see what build I can come up with

 

No international shipping because waiting time+tax

 

OK. So SSD it is LOL

 

Now I'm confused really. I'm very limited to liquid and fan cooling system

He posted the newegg links to show you pics. Check out some cases.

 

Ramdisk yeah...expensive.

Yes, I won't be OC'ing. At least anytime soon

 

So I should just limit with those numbers then since if I put in more then performance would suffer anyway

I don't mind for referencing. But it's like window shopping. I can only see it. But never buy it. I can still search the local stores if they have stocks, so no biggie

Yeah, Xeon is nice. Dont' think too much.

 

Mobo with Xeon's aren't rare. 

 

ones that support it (ivy bridge) with chipesets with native sata support are not either.

I just noticed your custom title. CONGRATS! "Panda man". That's it? What happened to that hard-to-pronounced title before?

 

Wait, the socket is 1155. So that means the extreme4 can be used then? Or I need some specific requirements that actually says "Xeon compatible"?

I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING!!!

 

I think I read once that computer parts are not subjected to tax! I think I should check this again though just to be sure.

But if I do ship it, I'm worried about warranty claims...sigh...

Air Cooling. Closed loop liquid cooling isn't all that good sometimes. For the price it's fine. It can outperform the flagship air coolers which are behemoths and tend to have issues with RAM clearance with RAM sticks that have heatsinks that give them a high profile. I'm having some RAM clearance issues with my memory though and the Hyper 212 EVO since my motherboard is uATX (slightly shorter than full ATX so it's not 9.6" by 12". Something like 9" by 12" which causes the fan on the heatsink to hit the RAM if in a push configuration so I have it in a pull configuration).

 

Okay, then.

 

Yes. Remember, SSHD (HDD + SSD hybrid) isn't all that good for the price, and the performance is rather meh. It's also a 2.5" hard drive that Seagate sells it as. I'm not sure if they have a hybrid 3.5" HDD. Also, don't use SSD cache since there's basically no point unless it's really necessary.

I don't get much but... I think I can understand it. FYI, the extreme4 isn't ATX too. It's a bit shorter. The extreme6 is ATX though

 

I don't think I'll get a hybrid. I'll get the normal SSD+HDD

Ahh... A new member. I guess you should read the OP on how fast this thread goes

 

Not gonna sleep tonight. I procrastinated my lab report more than enough because of this computer thingy...

Although i feel as if the h scenes kind of intrude and pauses on the horrifying unknown aspect of it. Sure i know what MC is doing his with is an eldritch spawn, but still like MC said, a man can't help be aroused despite knowing that, and i feel confused when at one part the vn is scaring (and enjoying it) me with the unknown, and the next it's telling me to fap. Stop confusing me game!

Sometimes. But none the less it has deals a lot and can get better performance than many air coolers for lower price. Buy what you want, air or closed loop. It's up to the buyer. 

 

There are quite some SSHD's for sale for the same price as HDD's. They also have good feedback. Nowadays, for their price they can be replacements. A 500GB SSHD right now is $68.

It's ATX standard, +- a few cm but it is still mid atx.

 

Yes that is much better. SSD and HDD. If you have the money

.You just did!??

 

...lolipops, butcracks and pandas

 

That was the original one.

 

You need the correct socket, The correct same exact model cpu support, and native controllers in your case.

 

It can't jus support Xeon. It needs to suport the model you want. Best to get boards that support it standard. Flashing your bios is quite annoying for most cases.
