    Help With Build part choice

    Also, for that configuration you really don't need an 850W power supply. Drop that down to the much cheaper 650W and you'll still have enough headroom for upgrades. E: Nevermind, I re-read and that's something you already have.

    PSU Coil Whine? On it's way out?

    Coil wine isn't an indicator for failure, just an indicator that it's under high load (or poorly designed).

    Customers Not Collecting Their Watches

    Nobody seems to have mentioned they could have been stolen watches. Maybe you were just a temporary holding place until the criminals decided it was safe to come and collect it (which would be never if they're in prison).

    Bent Pin on MOBO issue

    That only leads me further to believe it is either the keyboard or mouse i.e. one of those devices is drawing so much current (possibly due to a short circuit) that there is not enough power for the other device from the same USB controller. Is it possible for you to try with a different...

    Hardware Advice & Project: Toaster

    Also add the InWin 301 to that list (again this is Micro-ATX as well). This one comes with a glass side panel though, which is impressive considering the price. If it were up to me this is the one I'd go for.

    Hardware Advice & Project: Toaster

    I've been building a Mini-ITX system so maybe I can help you out with this. 1. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of attractive Mini-ITX cases (when comparing them with their ATX equivalents). They're usually Micro-ATX as well and rarely have windows (Mini-ITX users are more concerned with saving...

    Bent Pin on MOBO issue

    If it's not touching any of the other pins, it won't be causing any issues. This sounds like a dodgy USB device to me. I would check everything you have plugged in.

    PC connections and motherboard designs that need to die.

    Get yourself into PCB layout and routing and you'll quickly discover you can't just place connectors and components wherever you want. You've got to fit all of the components within a mass of carefully placed wires. Tracks have to be very carefully routed so they meet certain constraints. Timing...

    Strix Z270i Cooler Support

    Calling all ROG Strix Z270i (Mini-ITX) users. I recently bought a Cryorig H7 but the row of MOSFETs (components) on the back of this board stop the backplate from being mounted correctly. I am currently using some nylon washers instead of the backplate but I'm not sure this is suitable (is the...

    Whats on your desk at work to personalise it?

    Get a good indoor plant like an Areca Palm. I bought one from a supermarket for a few ££ and they can grow up to 9 feet indoors (if you keep repotting it). That and a 3D printed pen pot (people are always blown away when I tell them I've printed it). Oh and a CPU, because well... I design...

    What is your most prized possesion?

    It's just transistors to someone who has no attachment to it, yes. Sure I have a PC and yes it's my prized possession. Why? Because I'm attached to it. I've had this beauty for years and we've done so much together (lol). If it was stolen sure I have all my stuff backed up and I could just...

    I've got your back for 7 days

    Sometimes I wonder if most people replying in these threads are new to GD. Magnolia has been posting like this in GD since it was born. See what I did there Magnolia?... Magnolia? Mag, you there buddy? Hello? ... "Haggis (plural: Haggi) are small hedgehog like creatures with three...

    So what's the point of living, if you going to die anyway?

    Live it not for yourself but for those who are yet to live. That basically means stop being a ***** and use your lifetime to improve the lives of others to come. Now imagine in the future people may be able to live forever, do you really want to die having not been remembered for anything, made...

    Why So Many Java Updates?

    Ever programmed in Java? It's an amazing language and if it's written correctly it's as good as any other. Sure, there are a few security issues with it but a good developer knows how to avoid those. A bad programmer makes a bad program.

    Why are people so dumb...

    I don't quite understand your question. Why are people so dumb? Simply because they 'are'. That is the uneducated. When I say uneducated, I mean the ignorant and naive. People believe in a lot of things (whether it's some crude story in the paper or a full blown religion) for reasons not only...

    How to get Windows 8 like Windows 7 please?

    I'd say man up and get used to Windows 8.1. Booting up to desktop is an included feature and the start menu is not that much of a deal if not better. It's so much easier than going Start > Programs > Some Folder > Some Program.

    Floor creaking, what can I do?

    If you don't want to take the carpet up you could always go to the room underneath and take the ceiling down. No, there is nothing you can do without lifting the carpet.

    Games run high FPS then drops greatly after a few minutes

    Helpful. Is your entire computer an upgrade or did you upgrade particular components only? Sounds a little like a memory problem. I'd be leaning towards running MemTest.

    Out of curiosity...

    It really depends on how far you want to go. How much of a quality freak are you, or even more so how much are you willing to spend? Sure, you can build one for around the same price but with no guarantee it's going to be a quality build with all the bells and whistles for gaming.

    Please test website

    Which website are we talking about here? The one in your sig? From my own personal knowledge JavaScript runs in the same thread as the GUI for Internet Explorer 9 and lower. Therefore any JavaScript you have running that checks for scroll events (IE9 and lower fires a hell of a lot of them) is...
