Thanks. Much to think about. Qualifying for the games deal would be a nice bonus, though not essential. That motherboard doesn't seem to have the best reviews out there so would be a bit nervous about it, although for my needs it's probably perfectly fine. Scary how much RAM costs these days...

Thanks for that. I forgot the power supply. I contacted OCuK and that CPU will only be in stock again end of November. Too late for me. What about the Gigabyte motherboard and the 8 core CPU from this bundle? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5 - AMD Ryzen 5/7...

Been reading up a bit and was surprised to see AMD is back... Looks like they present the best value and their range might be a nice step up from the trusted 2500K. How about something like this: My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x "Grenadier RX II" Asus Prime X370-Pro - AMD Ryzen 1700X @...

I'm a bit torn. On the one hand, I'm thinking if I can keep the 970 and accept it as "good enough", would I not be able to keep this around 500-600 GBP? Could go up to a grand if need be but then it'd have to tick me over another 4-5 years.

I posted my own thread just now but kind of in the same boat as the OP, so keeping an eye on this one.

My build is from 2011 and it's getting on a bit. Currently experiencing random reboots that probably have to do with either the CPU, RAM or PSU. Don't really have the time to get to the bottom of it so I'm thinking of just getting a new system. What I have: - Logitech solar keyboard - Hazro...

Quick question: I have Windows 7 on my 64GB SSD but I'm running out of disk space so I ordered a 250GB one. Would it be better to clone the disk and keep using Windows 7, or would it be a good idea to run the preview version of 10, then buy the final version of Windows 10? (I'd rather skip 8.1)

Well then... :) New cooler installed without too much trouble, dare I say I'm proud of myself! Need to have a look at air flow and case fan but so far so good, temperatures are better than I've ever seen on my rig.

It's saying 1.261V in HWMonitor at the moment.

Thanks for all your input. The air cooler has been shipped, might take a few days before it gets to this island! In the meantime I reset everything to default in my BIOS and the voltages with just Google Chrome and HWMonitor open are lower, around 1V, but still getting temperatures of 95C. I'll...

Indeed, I meant as an exhaust. The main thing is to get the temperatures down and then I'll start worrying about noise. Ocuk got back to me and I'm a bit puzzled by their reply as it was them who built the pc. Either way I've got some reading up to do about removing the AIO and installing the...

Almost 4 years actually, got my rig end of July 2011. Time flies! I never monitored the temperatures until a few months ago. Yes, that was stupid but I had no idea at the time. Could have evaporated though I heard the liquid moving about when I cleaned the radiator. Anyway, I've just ordered...

Been reading up a bit on the Corsair forums and one issue might be the pump not having enough power, with some people suggesting to plug it straight into a MOLEX connector on the PSU. The way it has been running all these years was that it was plugged into the SYS FAN 4. I then plugged it onto...

McGraw, I'm confused about your statement on your H60 fan spinning at 4500rpm. Just had a look at the official specs at http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/hydro-series-h60-cpu-cooler and it says Fan Speed: Up to 1700 RPM. Incidentally this fan has always been the loudest thing in my PC and I should...

Pc-guy, so are you saying you think what I had in the first picture was fine? Temperatures before were also high, though nowhere near as high, and I got reboots when gaming for longer sessions, which was the whole reason for me ordering and reapplying the thermal paste. See...

Thanks Quartz, those look like good cases too (of which I know nothing, I should add). And I agree, I think I'd better try to install a new CPU cooler before throwing more money at this, but if I can't get this sorted shortly I might just have to bite the bullet. Was planning to wait until...

Hmm OK I might ask OcUK how much they would charge. I would have thought they could assemble it as the parts I have are not needed for it to post (apart from the RAM, but surely they could use some of their own and then take it out). I'd be nervous building it myself, you're talking to a guy who...

Hmmm, you may be on to something. I didn't realise they were supposed to spin that fast. Here's what my HWMON is saying: It's that 1800rpm, right? That should be higher then?

Hi Stulid, Thanks for the quick reply. My PSU is an OCZ PSU 700W Stealth Xtreme so I probably need a new one (Superflower?), also because I don't really want to install this myself as I would have no real clue I think (happy enough to pay a bit extra for peace of mind). Not too worried about...

Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to cooling, how exactly would I find that out? It's blowing air out of the back for sure.
