I'm upgrading my PC and have got myself an MSI Tomahawk Z790 DDR5 motherboard paired with an Intel 13900K CPU. I was hooking everything up and noticed that the motherboard requires 2x 8pin CPU cables instead of the 1 that my CPU has. The PSU is quite old (Corsair HX850W Model CMPSU-850HX) so I'm...

I broke one of the USB ports on my Antec P183 v2 and decided to replace the ports with USB 3 ports. I wanted to keep the existing Microphone and Headphone ports but in the process I accidentally broke them off the wires they were connected to. I still want to keep these ports as they are...

I'm looking for a 2 or 3TB 2.5inch HDD to use in my HTPC but can't seem to find any when searching online. I know about the spike in hard disk pricing and problems with availability etc. Does anyone know of any 2 or 3TB notebook drives that are available? The largest I've seen so far is a...

My personal opinion is to go with the 35W powered CPU if you are going for the wesena itx-2 and if you don't want to faff about with undervolting because there very little free space in there. If you are going for the ITX-7 then go for the 65W option and a low profile cooler.

Using speedfan to read temps and prime95 to stress test I was getting 38C at idle and 67C after an hours stress test with prime95. Hope that info is some help.

I've got an undervolted 100W CPU running fine in mines so I'm assuming you should be ok with a 65W CPU in one. If it runs too hot you can always undervolt it a little or buy an 80mm case fan that pushes more air.

I don't game on it. It's used primarily as an htpc. I'll need to check the temps when Im back home. All I know at this stage is that the CPU fan doesn't speed up to max (remains at a low quiet setting) during the playback of movies and while idle.

Yeah coupled with a Xilence XPF80R gives you silent goodness. And overclockers free delivery for long standing forum members was the icing on the cake.

I built a system with a wesena ITX-2. It used the AMD llano A8-3850 (couldnt source the A8-3800 so under clocked the 3850) a scythe kozuti CPU cooler. I used corsair vengeance low profile ram and a 150W picopsu. oh I got a slot loading blue ray drive from the wesena site too. I had a few...

Well Ive ordered the A8-3850 due to impatience, anyone know about undervolting?

I just want to say that waiting for the A8-3800 has been a pain in the backside. No one seems to have it in stock and when I did place on order for a store to order it in they told me that it has been discontinued!!! So I tried going for the A6-3600 but even they are more rare than gold dust...

Does anyone know where to get short 2 and 4 pin motherboard cabling from? The shorter the better. Ashmanq

They seem to be in stock on some sites now. Search for part number 90-MIBGQ0-G0EAY0GZ. Are overclockers planning to stock them any time soon? Now if only the Amd a8-3800 would become available!

I've got a wesena ITX2 case and want to use a bicolour LED to represent when the pc is powered on or on standby. I'll be using the picopsu 150xt for power with most likely the ASus f1a75-I mitx motherboard. How would I go about wiring a bicolour led for power/standby or even just a separate...

You've just about convinced me. That ASus motherboard is awesome. I just wish it was out now and that overclockers sold the a8 3800 :( Actually I can't seem to find anyone who's selling the A8 3800. My google searching powers fail me. Oh one other thing. Can I connect an msata ssd (mini...

How would this compare to an intel core i5 setup with hd3000, CPU/graphics power wise?

Im building myself a new HTPC for the living room and am set on using the Wesena ITX2 case (in black). I'll be using it to play bluerays and DVDs and for web surfing/light pc use with maybe the occasional go at gaming. Any ideas on what motherboard/CPU I should go for? I want something...

I currently own set off 2.1 JBL creature II set of speakers which I've had for a few years and now LI'm wanting to change them. They are currently connected the on board sound card (from a gigabyte ga-x58-ud3r rev 1). I'm wanting something that can belt out better sound in a 2.1 format. Also...

Returned the first monitor and decided to get the second one from OCUK (more reputable). This second one has not noticeable tint but it on a white screen there seems to be two slightly darker horizontal bands on the screen. Im not sure what is causing this but the monitor is a rev A00 and...

Yup. But I was impatient and couldn't wait till next month :(
