It JUST ran out. 3 years in May or June I think it was :(

Haha. Any suggestions for another cheapish 600w psu? I'm thinking the Corsair CX or OCZ ModXStream 600w. Leaning towards the OCZ despite the urine puddle I've just had to clean up.

My favourite :D Cheers

Needless to say my PC won't start, I suspected it was the PSU and looking inside there is a liquidy substance that has run along the CPU heatsink, top to bottom. The PSU is right above and the fan cover is very greasy. Time for a new PSU? :p

That's a shame, thanks for the response :)

Hey, my Goldring NS1000's just started hissing and crackling very badly in the left cup with ASR on. It's not the battery and changing it doesn't help. There are okay spells but I doubt it will stay that way. Does anyone know what the warranty period is for this product? I hope it's not just...

Ok, this might seem like a bit of a nooby question but I have never used raid and couldn't find a clear answer on the internet for a question I've always wondered - is it possible to have two raid 0 volumes in raid 5 (so that mirroring is possible without losing performance)? Or would it be best...

I just played my first match online. I agree with what people have said about it looking the same at any settings but then I can also say I run it maxed out :p Seriously, surprised how well this game runs on my GTX 260 216 (oc'd to 730/1460/1200). For reference I could run Crysis Warhead on all...

Alrighty I'll definitely have a look at the cables. Thanks.

I don't think it's the screen cable although I'll check it anyway. I was there when the backlight stopped working and it happened when my laptop was shutting down but my charger started to charge just as it was about to turn off. The backlight went out and hasn't worked since.

It's for an Acer 5920. There is no other way for me to test the inverter is working than to put it in my laptop I'm afraid. From that point of view it's the same as my old one which means either both inverters are faulty or something else is wrong.

My backlight has failed but the display still works. I have tried a new inverter without any success. Should I try replacing the backlight now? Cheers

I understand you probably want a new card more but the monitor would be a better treat imo. I have a GTX 260 216 @ 730/1460/1200 and a 24" monitor at 1920x1200. The monitor is lovely and tbh my card still runs Crysis, GTA4, Bad Company 2 and Metro 2033 at high at that resolution. Sure it's at...

Yeah sorry, forgot to mention that as it used to be in my sig. I'm running a Q9550 E0 at 4011Mhz and currently using 1.375 vcore (llc off), 1.59pll and 1.36vtt for the cpu. And yeah I would be worried if my cpu was to degrade that quickly. I know I'm at the upper limits of what Intel safely...

Alrighty I'll give it a go. I only stress tested in the beginning during the overclocking stage obviously and then randomly had a go recently which is when I noticed it. Actually before I do I don't think I want to raise the voltage any more. I'm at 1.375 without LLC and don't want to have to...

Like the title says, I am using the same settings as I was 6 months ago which at the time let me pass 50 runs of LinX with max memory, 10 hours+ of Prime95 and 3 hours of OCCT with max memory. I ran Prime95 again recently and only got 4.5 hours out of it before core 4 stopped working. I used to...

Well I've read some promising stuff but obviously still with the odd negative story. At the time of building my PC I chose the 640Gb Caviar Black over the F2 1Tb for the reliability and over a year on it is still rock solid and just showed 100% healthy blocks in the HD Tune error scan...

The backlight seems to have failed in my laptop screen today - I can still see stuff on the screen under light but it doesn't light up. It happened when it was about to turn off due to low power and then my dodgy charger decided it wanted to charge just as the power was going to cut out. The...

I'm on the hunt for a new drive and before anybody says try google I'm aware that the F3's are much better than the old F2's but I have recently heard about some failures. Can anybody comment on their experience with the F3's please as I'm looking to replace my 640Gb caviar black and the...
