Well, turns out the front fan cable is too short to reach the power fan header. Connected directly to PSU.

Cool. One last thing; would power fan header on my board offer fan speed control? Thanks!

Okay then. Can I just know the difference between the chassis fan headers and and the power fan header? Thanks

Is there any disadvantage (other than acoustic) to fans running at full speed all the time? Or is it better if their speed is regulated? And what about the power fan header? Does that also offer fan speed control?

Hey guys, I recently bought the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced case (CM 690 II Advanced (USB 3.0 version) - Cooler Master). Receiving my Asus P8Z77-V LE mobo tomorrow (ASUS P8Z77-V LE Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com) I've been reading a lot of varying opinions on the matter; some say it's...

No I meant with a decent cooler. If/when I buy one at some point. (What about liquid cooling? How much higher than a decent fan can I go if I go liquid?) I'm just asking to have an idea.

Hmm.. Thanks for the insight. Seems logical to get a 3570k then. How high can it safely be overclocked on air cooling btw? Also, I'm assuming the Asus P8Z77-V LE supports OC, right?

Well there's a $15 off coupon code, placing the 3570 at $200, 3570k at $230. I don't "plan" to OC, but if OC-ing could give me a significant boost in performance, then I'd get the 3570k now. If not, I'd stick with the 3570 and save the $30. Remember, I'm new to the world of overclocking, so I...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, no longer have the 3570. Returned it shortly after purchase as I thought I would be travelling for work. Never ended up traveling, so buying a new CPU again. Difference between the 3330 and 3570 is $10 on newegg. I would assume the 3570 would be a better...

Hey guys, Building a new computer. Haven't overclocked before, but I'm considering it now (or at least, future proofing my purchase) There's around a $30 difference between 3570 and 3570k. Basically, my question is; how much of a boost could I get with the k over the 3570? Though I'm on a...

Yup, it does. The case I'm probably going with has 2 front USB ports, only one of them is USB 3.0, and connects to the back of my the case with a cable, thus using one of the 2 USB 3.0 ports the motherboard has. So technically, the case is giving me 1 extra USB port. I thought I'd find a PCI...

Lol. Thanks guys.

Another alternative would be Real Player Downloader (Download Videos: Free Video Downloader Software from RealPlayer). It allows you to download almost any online video, not just from YouTube.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, that's what I initially assumed after I read "4 + 1 shared". Wasn't sure what my "imagination" could find as a use for that internal port though. Using it for front case USB makes sense. As for my board, probably going with this ASUS - Motherboards- ASUS P8B75-V...

Hey guys, New mobo might have fewer USB ports than I'd like, so I'm looking into my options. Came across PCI USB cards... Anyone has any experience with them? Transfer speeds? I don't get what "4 External ports & 1 Internal port sharing with an external port" means, though. Here's an...
