I did sort of start a similar thread a couple of months ago after building my current system which is listed below but thought I'd give myself time to get used to the new system before changing things. Overall I'm very happy with the performance of the system and the R 2600X CPU together with...

The Arctic Freezer I've got is the AF 7 Pro rev 2 which I purchased about 15 months ago when I updated my old system last year. The cooler had fantastic purchaser reviews which is what prompted me to buy it in the first place and it was definitely as good as the other purchasers claimed, in fact...

As you say the temps are actually fine and well within normal parameters...it's just that the cooler to my mind is rather odd, but there again probably so am I!;) On lower-mid loading I can hear the fan rising and falling in pitch which is the source of irritation for me but from the figures...

I doubt it will be too warm with a decent cooler. There's more than sufficient ventilation with the cases I have but I agree with you about cost.:) To be fair, the CPU temp isn't really getting past 70C or just slightly over when it's under absolute full load of shifting, opening and...

If it will mount, I'll try the Arctic Freezer probably over the weekend as it was really impressive on the Phenom 11. Mind you I live out in the sticks and it's the best part of an hour to anywhere which sells thermal paste so it might have to wait until after monday to get some delivered. The...

The Antec case I have has two fans at the front, two on top, one at the side and one at the rear plus a vent on the case floor for the PSU so there's more than sufficient potential airflow through the case to keep a CPU such as the 2600X cool as long as the cooler is efficient. The room temp...

Actually I don't think we're far apart here...the TS 140P looks very similar in design to the Arctic Freezer I fitted to the old system and really is the type of cooler that I was thinking of when I made my post. I was able to mount the Arctic Freezer onto the CPU so that the fan was directing...

Thanks for your reply. I get your point but actually I do understand air flow in cases though I failed to mention in my post that I'm not actually using the Raptor case right at this moment, I'm using an Antec gaming case with 3 of the possible 6 x 120mm fans running which I recently purchased...

Hi guys maybe you can point me in the right direction or suggest a better alternative as I'll explain. I've just recently completed a new custom build using the Ryzen 5 2600X and Gigabyte B450 Aorus M, plus 16Gb 3000 MHz RAM and GTX 1060 3Gb as the base. Everything is working fine just as...

Thanks for the reply. I've been using for a week now the HyperX mouse I had to buy as a stop gap because of circumstances and I've only had time to play World of Tanks as I've been downloading the other games as a fresh install and the best DPI I find for WOT seems to be between 1600 and 2400...

Sometimes circumstances step in and take over.:( I was working during the early hours of this morning trying to get my software reinstalled and downloaded onto a fresh clean SSD for my regular games etc and I thought my mouse was running out of battery power by the way it was behaving but it...

Thanks for your reply which reinforces what I've managed to gather from the research I've done so far. I'd presume that the more expensive the mouse the better the sensor, is that correct? I'll look into that for sure as it's pointless putting together a decent computer rig capable of a bit of...

Thanks for the comments and information guys, they've been helpful. To be honest in the past I've never paid too much attention to computer mice, as to me they were simply pointing/clicking devices but that is clearly an underestimate of their function when used in gaming. I've done a bit of...

Thanks for the heads up which has pointed me in the right direction. I'm not a good player by any means but it would explain why I managed OK with just a basic mouse in the games which were controlled by a mouse! I've just done a bit of quick research and I need to be looking for one that...

I need a bit of advice on choosing a new mouse please. OK so I've just this week upgraded my old all purpose Phenom 11/GTX 1060 based computer to what is listed below in my sig and it's a nice rig and have run the new PSU constantly for 4 days without switch off to test it out hooked up to my...

Thanks indeed You seem to have answered everything for me especially with the pics which was very insightful. (nice looking board too ). I can definitely live with one of those mobos !:D Cheers and thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not entirely sure what the differences are between the Gaming 5 and the Gaming 7 mobo but I don't suppose there will be any differences in the onboard Wifi. However you might have more info on that one but if it is the same with regard to WiFi on each then it sounds...

Simple question: I'm upgrading my mobo and CPU etc. Although I've never bothered with a WiFi connection in the past, much preferring connection direct to the router via ethernet cable, I'd now like WiFi capability as an option on the new system, therefore is it better to choose a mobo with...

Maybe a bit of a late reply now but if you need to print quite a number and you can get hold of an old Canon i965 BJ photo printer, it came with a special attachment which allowed it to print photos etc onto CDs and the results were very good both for photo quality prints and CD printing. I...

Cheers for that...I'll download the 64 bit ISO file and work it from there or create a disk for when I upgrade. Apparently there are issues with installing Windows 7 so I just want to resolve those before upgrading as I'd prefer not to have two computers do the job when one will do and I hate...
