I just found some heatsinks by enzotech, self adhesive apparently , they should be ok?

Thank you for replying :) iv made a couple of builds but iv never had to use vrm Heatsinks and don’t really know what I’m looking for , could you link something ? I see some vrm heatsinks on eBay but I don’t know if they need a specific size etc to fit , thanks so far

Hi, I’m planning a MATX build, iv gone for a fx 8350 which has a tdp of 125w, the only micro atx motherboard I could find was the asrock 970m pro3, which has a tdp of 140w which seems sufficient for the 8350, the only thing concerning me is hearing about the “VRMs” on the board getting hot and...

Hey :) thanks for the response , I don’t think I updated , as I think I turned off automatic updates just in case there was a dodgy update like the recent one you mentioned, but it should be ok now as I orderd a different sound card and after doing a bit of googling it seems that the sound...

Given up and bought a different sound card , so thread is now unneeded

Hi all, as title says i bought a soundblaster z soundcard, set it all up, works fine while the pc is on, but whenever i shut down and turn the pc back on the driver has magically gone/uninstalled, so far iv tried: *installing the latest win10 driver *disabling all other drivers for sound...

thank you :) nah doesent have to be a SFX , it was just he wanted to do it as quick as possible, i tried trelling him you cant rush these computer building things, but he says he has like a tenner anyway, so i said save 50 to 60 quid and ill look again when he has the money :)

Found this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/b-grade-silverstone-sfx-l-500w-80-plus-gold-fully-modular-power-supply-bg-091-sv.html as he's on a proper tight budget, just spoke to him and he will have to save for this one,

ok, thank you for the estimates on power draw :), ill have a look around then, just though if he did want to overclock or upgrade in future it would be a good option, :) thanks for reply.

thanks for the reply :) yeah i thought it was a bit dodgy :/ ill try to convince them to get another one , in reality it only needs 650watts ish for a build like that? so ill have a quick look at some corsair or super flower PSU's now, can you recommend any other makes? as im only really going...

HI there, im fairly new to computer building (3 to 4 years of it) and my cousins friend just bought a cheap desktop setup on eBay, (case,Mobo,CPU,RAM, Built in graphics) and wants to do some gaming on it, hes TV is only 720p and this is what iv gone with as advice for him on buying as an upgrade...

8GB is probably ample for gaming at the moment , 16gb is just an upgrade that you might as well do if your already running 8gb and have some cash to splash! :) well that’s my opinion and what other people have said to me when I built my first computer a couple of years back , I don’t think many...

Thank you, should be alright then :)

yeah thats what i was thinking, im still kind of new to pc building (2 or 3 years of it) i thought as long as its a DDR4 compatible mobo then any DDR4 would work as long as they are the same make and speeds, one thing i thought of tho is does this mean the XMP profile will not work on my AMD...

Hi all, i think i just made a stupid mistake, I just orderd Nighthawk red LED 16GB Ram, then after reading the details it seems to say its only Intel Kabylake and Skylake compatible? its for a ryzen 1600 build, so please say its just a mistake in the webpage, else im going to have to phone and...

Thanks man, and ouchhh that must have hurt , I have one last question which is to do with VRAM, I just benchmarked Far cry 5 and it says 2671/1977, soo its past its limit on VRAM but its still running? can this damage the card or something?

I think the CPU won’t push any more as it wouldn’t stop the Prime95 test when I pressed stop it sort of froze up, the GPU might go further? , I already have threads asking questions about over clocking them but that was on how to go about it, this is more of a general question and show off of...

It’s not doing too bad considering! , just struggles on the combined test

Thank you, I’ll work out the percentage in a minute and see how much further I can push it :)

Okie dokey, cheers for letting me know :) I probly won’t push it too far anyway as it’s just for photo editing and light 1080p gaming, but I’ll bear that in mind if I do add a little extra to it, :D
