    OCZ faulty ram

    Might look around for just 1 stick ram as a replacement then rather than have a unuseable pc for serveral days as I need it for my work!

    OCZ faulty ram

    Purchased 3 x 2Gb sticks (triple channel) OCZ Gold PC3-12800 ram from OCUK the other week to use in my computer rebuild. Rebuild rig yesterday and kept blue-screening when trying to load Win7. Ram Memtest and 1 of the sticks failed so now running machine happily with 2 sticks - although...

    Nice pics Bob;) Do you mount your PSU with fan up or fan down in the case?

    TRIM watch

    How can I find out what firmware my Crucial 64Gb M225 is using as looks like if it is 1571 then its a straight flash to 1819 but if its 1711 then I have to roll-it back to 1571 first before updating it to 1819.

    Coolermaster ATCS 840

    Perhaps I should rephrase that - I meant the front fan of the 2 that are on the top of the case pulling cold air out (like it should) but the air is being pulled out before it has had a chance to cool the cpu/mobo. Anyways I have decided to get the black one - if the front top fan is a...

    Coolermaster ATCS 840

    Been reading some reviews and people have commented on the two top fans causing noise and the front one pulling air out of the case before it's had a chance to cool anything down. Hmm not so sure now - might go for a Lian Li instead - possibly the PC-A71F ? Nice cats!

    Coolermaster ATCS 840

    Do any forum members have this case and can share their views on it? I was looking at it for a replacement to my Eclipse but see it only has feet not wheels although it might be possible to drill through the feet and fit wheels to it. Wanted it as seems to give better cooling than the...

    *** Crucial M225 SSD's Available From £102.99 inc VAT ***

    Hmm thats a worry as I ordered the 64Gb one about 11am when it said they were in-stock - checking now and it says "in warehouse queue" which don't sound too promising. Order was OC897624 so hope it's not going to get stuck as it included DDR3 ram I need for my new build next Friday (23rd)

    Core i7 Extreme

    Any LGA1366 motherboard using the X58 chipset. The Asus boards are usually good overclockers http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-365-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1283 For cpu cooling try the Titan Fenrir...

    Corsair 800D and air cooling

    Sounds like my Akasa. Put sound dampening on inside of side panels but it also vibrates which is annoying :( Cross Lian Li off my shortlist then.

    Corsair 800D and air cooling

    Can I ask what's wrong with the Lian V2000 as I had shortlisted that to replace my nice (but ageing) Akasa Eclipse.

    5870...is it really worth it?

    Well seeing as there are no games that use DX11 yet I would buy the 4890 - by the time DX11 games come out the 5870 will either have dropped significantly in price or new cards will have come out that are better anyway.

    Same here Simon - just swapped my graphics card for the GTX 285 so could do Seti on Cuda but enough is enough. Been with Seti since May 1999

    SETI@home News Vol 67

    Well I've reluctantly decided to suspend both my machines from running Seti because of the ongoing problems they seem to be having with sending/receiving work units - been going on now for 2 weeks and still not fixed. Going to switch my machines onto some other project - possibly Einstein -...
