    Faulty PSU or not?

    Should have mentioned it did previously work sometimes, but eventually it just wouldn't boot up at all (last week or so). Power is supplied to my PC but there is no output display. If it's a faulty cable, surely it falls under warranty? It's not modular so not like I can do much about it...

    Faulty PSU or not?

    Hi all, A few months ago I made this thread about my PC not booting up properly intermittently - here I tried everything: re-seating the CPU and heatsink and reapplying thermal paste onto them, removing each of my RAM sticks one by one and reseating, removing all data and power cables from the...

    Thanks, Idleman. I'll try those steps.

    Yeah - forgot to mention I did load the optimised defaults but to no avail.

    PC fails to boot properly after multiple attempts (random success)

    Bought and built my custom PC back in April this year (spec in signature) Over time I feel that its life is deteriorating as it gradually fails to boot up more and more as the months go by. I can tell that it fails to boot up by the difference in fan noise upon turning it on. When it fails...

    Was literally seconds from buying a 670...

    The original price of the 670 has gone up quite a lot it seems. I remember it starting off at around £335 (the sale price) and now it's £370... :eek:

    Managed to **** up my Ultima 9300i Prism overclock

    Yes, the bundle I got said it was overclocked to 4.4GHz from 3.6. When I went into the BIOS, it was set to default and there were no profiles there. That's fine, thanks. Yeah, I did - It wasn't a problem creating one myself and it's been running consistently fine for almost 3 months now (when...

    Forse 3 SSD only 7.3 in WEI?

    That's incredibly strange, even for WEI. I don't think they're that inaccurate unless it's a glitch with SLI or Crossfire for example.

    Managed to **** up my Ultima 9300i Prism overclock

    They didn't do one with mine. I had to manually set it.

    Forse 3 SSD only 7.3 in WEI?

    WEI is rubbish. However, you would be hard pressed to find a single SSD that read 7.9 (maybe the M4). My OCZ Agility 3 (probably one of the best after the M4) only did 7.6 until I RAID 0'd 2 of them and it now reads 7.9.

    Nvidia 670 or ati 7950/70 which to buy

    I bought my Sapphire 7950 OC Edition for £323 2 months ago. I doubt the 7970s "should be" £330.

    Spec me a new monitor

    The one in my signature is the one to go for. Just look at the reviews; you won't be disappointed with your purchase.

    fitted two hard drives in my laptop - no need for dvd anymore?

    I will always keep my DVD drive until DVDs are obsolete (like diskettes and cassettes) and there is a new form of technology. What is the point in removing something that is still being used around the World? JUst wait for them to die like floppy did.

    Spanning/Software JBOD in windows 7

    Are you ever going to utilise 9TB of data, though? :/ I would personally just use 3TB for downloads, 3 for installs and 3 for important backups.... I don't think spanning is completely fault tolerant. Mirroring would be the way to go especially if you have 3x3TB......

    8800 GTS Replacement Recommendations

    Hence why he said he is considering upgrading in the future. That was my point. :rolleyes:

    8800 GTS Replacement Recommendations

    Agree. Don't think they read his post properly. :) To unclelonghair - Get the HD 7850. There is one selling at £180. HIS is a good brand. Better hurry though as the price won't last forever. Personally, though, I would go for a Sapphire or MSI Twin Frozr III/IV. Sapphire and TF III are £200...
