    1600 with X370 bundle, or go 2600 with X470?

    Thanks for all your replies guys - sorry I haven't been able to respond myself, I've been away. That's an interesting one - having had a quick look at a popular auction site, I'm looking at at least £150ish, so is eminently doable... Now this is an interesting proposition. Having had a watch...

    1600 with X370 bundle, or go 2600 with X470?

    Hi all It's been a beast, but it's now time to retire my venerable i5 750 (getting slightly emotional...!). I've seen a deal on a competitor's website for a Ryzen 1600 with an Asus Prime X370-Pro for £219, which is pretty nice. I had originally intended to get a Ryzen 2600 with an Asus X470...

    Bought a bargain GTX 1070...but now 1070ti comes along!

    Good afternoon everyone It's been a long time since I've posted on here, but I'm getting back into my PC gaming and I need some advice. I bought a Zotac GTX 1070 mini when they were going for £330 on a competitor site (around end of August). Because of the demand, I only got the thing...

    i5-750 to Haswell?

    Hi everyone, thought I'd pop in with my own 750 experience. Been a great little chip, have had it at various clocks over its life but currently at 3.89 with vcore set at 1.3375 (showing 1.312 actual) and QPI/VTT set at 1.21. From looking here, looks like my chip isn't a fantastic clocker, but it...

    New card beckons...

    Thanks for the responses so far guys, much appreciated. I was tempted to just blow the £300 on a 7970 but I get annoyed with my reference 5850 noise levels, so will settle for a more expensive, quieter 7950. The reason I mentioned the Asus one was because the Tom's Hardware video persuaded...

    New card beckons...

    Hi all It's been a while since I started a thread here on this hallowed forum, but am looking at a gpu upgrade and thought I would seek your opinions. My current system is in my sig, but have got an itch for a decent upgrade for my 5850. I play at 1080p and will do for a while yet. But I...

    i5 750 oc for a newbie

    How on earth have you managed to keep it at 55 degrees on full load? I've got a Megahalems and am struggling at 75! :confused: I've been mucking around with my 750 the last couple of days. Was stuck at 3.8 at 1.375v but switched the multiplier to 21 and am now on 4.05 at 1.36v. Seeing how...

    What is your opinion on this case?

    Looks like a decent enough case, go for it if you like the look of it. The review seemed to think highly of it. I think it looks just as good as the CM690 and better than the Lancool cases. Plus, you're the one who needs to be happy with it ;)

    The CustomPC Media Benchmarking Suite

    Haha, mate I think I'll let you have that one. I've tried whacking up the vcore to 1.42 with no joy and it's starting to freak me out! Good game! :)

    Dose no one do 5 1/2 bay fan mounts ?

    It's all about the DIY! I didn't want to spend £20 or more on something like that so I just whacked a fan into the empty space where the 5 1/4 inch bays go, got some mesh and tights are good dust filters! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18010112
