    Thermalright AM4 Bracket

    Think its type B for all Silver Arrow heatsinks other than the standard one without any letters after the name. For the basic silver arrow its the BTK you need. At least thats what the Thermalright rep told me. Going to try drill my old mount, lets see how that goes

    Thermalright AM4 Bracket

    I've just upgraded from a rather old i5 2500K to R5 3600 and wanted to take my Thermalright Silver Arrow heat sink. I've searched and searched but for the life of me cannot find anywhere that will send the AM4 bracket for this heatsink. I know the part i need is...

    Build Help - Max £500

    Hi, Not really kept up-to-date with the current hardware with my knowledge being stuck back in the i5 Sandybridge era! As such, i'm looking for help to spec a system which would be capable of running PUBG, The Division, etc. Budget is only to include the tower. Edit: should say there is...

    Temps for i5?

    TIM is short for Thermal Interface Material but yeah i agree it does seem like a problem with that.

    ****Show Us The inside of your Case!****

    Just upgraded to sandybridge after a lot of time holding it off, went back to air cooling too. Must say the heatsinks that around these days are quite impressive!!

    What you do with your old hardware when you upgrade ??

    I pass it on to friends for free, give it to my parents or sell it. Really depends on what it is im upgrading, considering getting rid of the water cooling stuff i have at the moment so think that will be getting sold!

    Upgrade Check

    I did have the concern with the SA and the ram hitting each other. Had a look around and seems it does fit but it is very tight but im pretty confident i can jimmy it. The only reason i didnt go for those Corsair sticks is they are slightly more expensive for pretty much the same performance...

    Removing a CPU stuck to a Heat sink

    I've never had this problem myself as before i remove the cpu i tend to have the system running a little to liquify the TIM. Though be it a bit late now possible solutions to your issue would be to heat the heatsink up with a hair drier or could have tried to use IPA but rather than dunking...

    Laser eye treatment - who's done it?

    Had mines done on the day of the royal wedding of all days! Got it done at Optical Express and went for Intralase with Wavefront LASIK treatment (as said you dont want to skimp on your peepers!) From walking on the door on the day of the procedure to waiting to be picked up was only 30mins...

    ***Supreme Commander 2 on OcUK***

    I joined the group would be fun to get a game going. Used to play a fair bit when it first came out.

    Am I missing something here?

    It might be possible they were linking the greater sugar consumption to people needing more energy to carry out their stressful and work filled life's! Oh no wait its just another pointless waste of a research opportunity.

    NVIDIA 3D requirements

    I have a 3d set up on a 470GTX currently im only on a Q6600 and only use one stick of ram (the other one broke!!). With 3d on you cant really notice any stutter at 30-40fps normally play games at 1920x1080 and for latest games i've played its been good. Was able to play through BlackOps without...

    Have a job interview (Royal Mail)

    An answer for 3 could fall from when you were asked to seek for cost savings. As you pointed out your last answer leads to a cost saving through higher quality control which shows you are proactive in looking to not only improve your own work area but also make improvements for the company.

    Scottish Students need to stop whining!

    Cant agree more, although I do appreciate the fact I got a university education for what to me is free I could never stop wondering why Scottish students get that when a majority of the tax money to pay for it comes from England. Though I think in the case of your facebook friends they just...

    One for the Nvidia 3D Vision peeps

    Im using the microsoft Reclusa which is fine but really i dont look at the keys when gaming or typing really. Just tested it now and i can still see the keys clearly when wearing the glasses. I had a G15 before and comparing these keys to that i would think the G15 offered brighter colours so...

    3D Gaming- Has anyone jumped on?

    I have been useing 3D Vision for about 2/3 weeks now and i must say i'm happy with my purchase. The only problem i have really found is in WoW where is clearly displays your action bars/text screens/ add on frames in the foreground it makes it hard to focus when looking at them. Though thats...
