    Small case for no gpu build

    Hi, this is going to be one of those annoying threads where someone asks for the impossible. I have a Thermaltake cube (?) build that I want to rehouse into a horizontal case for a TV console stand. I've removed the GPU which is no longer required. I'm assuming the existing heatsink will have...

    Do power supplies degrade?

    :D I ended up getting an EVGA G3 evo gold modular thing and it's morphed into a new build rather than a resurrection. Amazing how that happens..

    Need a new PSU? Review one of ours and you can keep it!

    Sounds good! Although I am now considering a new case after seeing yours. Looks like something off a sci fi movie. What is it??

    Think this thread has convinced me to replace the PSU on my resurrected PC. No bang bang for bing bong!

    Need a new PSU? Review one of ours and you can keep it!

    Considering keeping my little used but old BeQuiet 430 watt psu for my new build but while their site says it should suffice, every other calculator says no. RX580 8gb. I5 8400. (currently using an old amd 955 but only for a week or so). Any reviews yet?

    *** The Official Nokia Lumia 620 Thread ***

    How do you think this compares to the Nokia 800, which is currently priced similarly? Obviously there's the OS to consider, but how do they match up otherwise?

    Cooler recommendations.

    Sorry, should point out what I want to do case ventilation wise: currently have one front fan, will be adding a rear case fan, and with the noctua I suppose I could also add one side fan? Ok I've read it actually cools whatever the fan hits. Result! Found a cheaper version with the same 140 mm...

    Cooler recommendations.

    Okay I managed to measure out from right where the cpu pins go in to the side of the case: 160 mm. so minus a few mill for the cpu itself, give or take that should work out at 155mm. Quite how people have managed to get a 160mm tall hyper 212 in there I don't know! Other than an all in one...

    Cooler recommendations.

    Just bought a replacement motherboard and thought I'd replace the stock cooler while I'm at it. Asus m5a97 pro AMD 955 BE I'm a bit confused by the info on airflow in relation to coolers and the position of case fans. Some say you need a fan that doesn't blow air straight up off the...

    Worth getting a 970 board for BE 955?

    Hi. My cheapo 880 MSI mobo just went bang and the shop are giving me a credit note. If I add a bit of cash I can get a newer 970, but I think I'm right in saying I'd also have to get a cheap graphics card coz there's no onboard chip? I'm running a Phenom 2 955 BE: future proofing aside...

    build for Reaper DAW and Adobe Lightroom.

    I find my netbook is flummoxed by multiple instances of the Amplitube vst with Reaper, and can only handle it using the eco settings anyhow. So I'm going to build a cheap desktop system. I won't be gaming at all so I'm hoping on board graphics will be enough for now, and already have a monitor...

    building a pc for a blind orphan - help required

    yes, he uses a special brail system, that's what he does. and i talk him through bits of gameplay - he's an orphan too don't forget, so he needs me around anyway. I'll certainly look into this drone business. but the notion of a 2nd hand set up is interesting too... oh he's clapping his little...
