    Review Asus Maximus 7 Ranger Motherboard Review

    I got it from Sujata Computers, Pune for 15.5K. I think it's slightly expensive (I could be wrong) but given that he was the only one able to source it (and firstly even agreeing to try to source it) was worth it IMO.

    CPU/Mobo [SOLVED] Haswell Refresh or Broadwell

    Hey Rajesh, thanks for the quick tid-bits. Really good to have that info in the tool belt. My work involves a lot of Photoshop and Programming (neither are compute intensive workloads, thus the non K versions, but you do make a good point). I've been told the same about the RAM before. I'll...

    Build Log : The ++Shad0wKnight++

    Update #1 I'd asked a colleague to get/find/make a temperature module for me last week. He just got it in. I connected it to a 4-pin MOLEX and off we go! Works well, except for the fact that it shows temperatures 4ºC more than it actually is. I'll have to mentally remember that every time...

    Build Log : The ++Shad0wKnight++

    Hey everyone, So last night, I took the plunge and ordered the following for my upcoming build, dubbed ++Shad0wKnight++. Once the parts arrive and I post some photos, you'll know why it's called that. For folks who play DotA 1/2, if you're familiar with the Dragon Knight, you'd know what to...

    CPU/Mobo [SOLVED] Haswell Refresh or Broadwell

    An update on the RAM: I'm confused between the following. Now, given this system has a dual-purpose, should I even be considering the options of DIMMs clocked above 1600-1800Mhz? Thoughts? 1. Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8) 1866Mhz...

    CPU/Mobo [SOLVED] Haswell Refresh or Broadwell

    Backstory: I'm currently looking at the Haswell Refresh Lineup, specifically the i5 (suitable for gaming) and the i7(can handle both my work and gaming requirements) non-K versions as of now. I'll be dual-booting into OS X(work) and Windows (Gaming) via two separate drives. I have the...

    Corsair H100 Modding

    Nice to see those shots! Gives a good insight. Ohk, I have all my answers. Thank you for bearing with me and for the inspiration to get hacking(not the lumberjack one :asshat:) at stuff. PS: if you don't already, can you please take shots of a copper block when working on one in the future...

    Corsair H100 Modding

    Good question, dark.lord. Rakesh, from your photos earlier in the thread, I can see what you mean. Must be a lot cheaper as well? The case I'll be working on is a Corsair 750D which has grommets at the back so perhaps I can mount the reservoir at the back, outside the case, instead of somewhere...

    Corsair H100 Modding

    Corsair H100 Modding

    Aha! didn't know those tubes were removable. Gotta try this. Any recommendations where I could get various components for LC? My thought was to go for the H100 from my current H60 which is getting superbly noisy. But your thread is making me consider custom LC loops. Any recommendations or...

    ICICI Coral credit card schemes are fraud

    Suds, I'm facing the same issue and I'm in Pune as well. However, when booking in BLR or Mumbai, it works fine. It's an issue on bookmyshow's side. I've been nagging them to fix it for over a year now to no avail.
