Would be great to go back to 2004!

Dunno as it was well before 2002

Not my first post though as this is dated Sept 2004.

I have no idea because the forums have been wiped twice since I originally joined in 2000. But it would have been about overclocking or cooling.

Whitewater · 27 Jan 2017 at 22:09

I started a new IT support job around the time I joined the forums so my first post was probably an urgent request for help.

Mobius 1 · 27 Jan 2017 at 22:15

Posted some FEAR screenshot in the 800x600 screenshot thread way back in 2005. 12 years ago already. Jesus wept time flies. The screenshot won't load though.

Cant believe I've been a member for 12 years :eek:

I posted asking for help in 2007 during a build where a dodgy CPU/Mobo combo was causing issues, check out the spec

Hiya all, bit of a crap 1st post but I've hit a snag building my latest PC. My components are:

MSI K9A Platinum
AMD6000+
HSI HD2900 1GB
Corsair 620W PSU

After building it I tried applying power and after 1sec the power died without any POST beeps to help me (all cpu, system, psu & cooling fans ran during the 1sec of power). I disconnected all the non-essential power sockets (HD's, optical drives, extra cooling fans/leds etc) and tried again with the same result.

Then I removed the Graphics card (in case it was the cause) but the power still died without POST beeps (hoping to get the "No Graphics" 3 beeps). That left the PSU itself, Mobo and chip. I tried a mates PSU but still had the same problem so "Oh crap, it's the Mobo or chip" I'm thinking.

HOWEVER, my mates PSU when back in his PC now refuse's to work either! SO I'm guessing that my Mobo is the cause as it's blowing up psu's (i.e My mates is Kaput - internal fuse? I'm thinking - but mine is still going so mine will probably have a relay) but as it's the 1st major problem I've had in a load of builds that I've had a problem like this I thought I ask if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Hey Guys,

My CPU is running a little hot on the Stock cooler:

(Idle [speedfan])

System :45c
CPU: 45c
AUX: 42c
HD1: 33c
HD0: 31c
Core 0: 45c
Core 1: 45c
Core 2: 43c
Core 3: 43c

...I think it is time to get a proper cooler for my i7 860. So does anyone have any recommendations for a solid cheap aftermarket cooler, for up to £30? I probably will be overclocking in the future, but not by an insane amount, and I am not concerned by how loud it is.

Thanks!

ASUS P7P55D Evo
i7 860 @2.8GHz
4GB 1600MHz RAM
2x 4890 CF
500GB HDD
250GB HDD

My first post!

I've still got the CM Hyper 212+

Was I trying out a precursor to the Bracketing System?!

I forgot I had a brief period of running 2x 4890s. It was very toasty in my university room for a few months...

Abyss · 28 Jan 2017 at 00:03

Mine was in 1999/2000 and pre-nuke.

I posted to ask for help with getting DVDs to play smoothly on my AMD athlon PC.

It turned out I hadn't enabled UDMA, so the read speed from the DVD drive wasnt fast enough

Maccy · 28 Jan 2017 at 00:05

I can only go back to 2016. Weird...

iamdjdz · 28 Jan 2017 at 00:13

If I'm correct in my search it was in the post your DJ setups thread:

26/11/06

I have:
2x Stanton T-80
KAM KMX-300 mixer. (its not so good but I'm broke so it does)
Some amplified home theatre speakers

I use - in youth 'club':
2x Stanton st.150
Stanton M.303 mixer
400Watt PA

Kelt · 28 Jan 2017 at 00:14

I just posted my first post in the thread that contained my first post.

I fail at the internets.

I used to have a K9A Plat with an AMD 6000+ too!

I think in my case it was paired with some cheap 400W EZCool PSU and a 6800GT which was old hat at the time. 2GB of that OCZ heatpipe cooled RAM...

Still have the RAM and the PSU, can't remember what happened to the rest of it.

I think I signed up to proudly post pics of my very first pc build after noticing the forum when I was ordering some parts from ocuk.

When were they wiped? I always thought that I had joined before Feb 2004, but can't be 100% sure. Can't even remember which email address I used at that time!

The earliest thread I can find of mine is dated 26th May 2004, about a 17" TFT monitor, in the Baddass' Ultimate TFT FAQ!

Hi

I thought the 172X was the one to go for, as had 12ms response time, DVI, ultra-thin bezel, and looked pretty good too.

But - I've been looking for ages for this, and no-one seems to stock it. It's listed in *** overclockers store, but is never in stock.

I have since found out two things - firstly, the response time of 12ms, although looks good on paper, isn't as fast as other screens with lower response times. This, apparently, is due to Samsung having opted for a PVA matrix type screen that may well offer super-fast transitions when pixels are switching from one extreme to the other (from white to black for example) but which really begins to slow when it's required to switch incrementally such as from white to gray or from light gray to medium gray. So not so good for games.

Also, after e-mailing Overclockers, they say that they will probably not get this monitor back in stock, and Samsung are rumoured to be replacing it anyway.

Does anyone have any information of a replacement? I really like the style of the ultra-thin bezel, but won't spend £405 unless it really is the best gaming LCD monitor.

I know there were earlier threads, as I have emails from replies to posts, such as problems reinstalling Windows XP.

I never bought the monitor.
