Thanks for all the replies so far. I've got a much better idea of what to go with now, but there's a couple of niggly compatibility questions remaining since I'm hoping to reuse some of my old stuff.
I'm using a Super Flower Golden Green HX550W PSU, which only has a 4+4 CPU power connector...
I’m looking to upgrade my ancient CPU, and whatever else needs upgrading with it. Having completely ignored the market for the past few years I’m not sure what to get. The PC will mostly be used for gaming, I’m unlikely to be changing the CPU for quite some time (the current one has lasted over...
I’ve been using an ageing Samsung TV as a monitor for years, but that has gone bang (literally) so I need a replacement. Despite being ancient it’s possible that this was a Samsung equivalent of a VA panel (PVA/sPVA?) but I can’t find any official information anywhere, other than a 178°/178°...
My Dad's PC has been having issues for a few weeks, but is now refusing to boot entirely. The motherboard is the primary suspect, but the system was quite old and nearly due for an upgrade anyway so we've decided to replace the whole CPU side of the system. He doesn't game that much and has no...
Thank you, If the cable cant be sorted I will probably end up doing something like that so its very helpful to have that guide. Unfortunately the fans would protrude quite a lot more than the standard ones as they are quite thin to start with and nestle into a smaller area within the heatsink...
Partly because attaching the fans will be more difficult than just wiring a cable, but mostly because I have an mATX case with no vents at the bottom, meaning the thicker fans that couldn't be mounted flush to the heatsink would almost certainly end up flat against the base of the case which...
Having swapped the fans around last night the pulsing fan issue happened on the first boot but the fans are functioning normally when booting it this morning. This suggests that there is a dodgy connection somewhere in the system, most likely in the splitter. I'm trying to get an identical...
A few months ago I made a post about issues with my GTX 970's fans (its a GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" to be exact). At the time I wasn't too worried and hoped to use a backup card while waiting for the next gen Nvidia cards to come out. However, the backup card is...
Just as an update, the fan that was pulsing has now stopped completely and the other working fan is going considerably faster to compensate. I can't see the fans to physically check what is happening right now, but the tachometer says the fans are not moving and at least one of the fans is...
Yesterday, after a gaming session, my GTX 970 started making an unusual pulsing sound. Using MSI afterburner and GPUz shows the fan is starting at 1800RPM, accelerating up to 2200RPM and then coasting back down to 1800RPM every second or so. The really unusual thing is that manually setting the...
The short answer is that because of how floating point numbers work, they are very very accurate when they are very small and progressively get less accurate when they are very large. So, as the distance away from the centre point of the workspace or the dimensions of an object gets larger and...
According to motorsport.com the president of the Automobile Club d'Italia (ACI) still needs to sign its side of the deal before imola comes on the calendar: http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/imola-signs-agreement-with-ecclestone-for-italian-gp-798879/
There's a lot of very good guides for beginners in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/3y73om/huge_link_list_for_beginners_and_advanced_players/
A few of the links are meant for advanced players, but most seem to be aimed at beginners
If its a choice between Jabba barrels or Iron Chests then personally I would go for the chests. Barrels can only store one type of item so they are great for storing enough cobble to build an entire castle, but are completely hopeless at everything else. At least with a diamond chest you can...
If you are just looking to store lots and lots of one or two specific items, then Storage drawers, or possibly JABBA, would be a much better bet. The drawers/barrels can only store one item, but they can store hundreds of stacks of that item and you can click on them to store/retrieve the items...
As a new player to Minecraft you will be quite happy with vanilla for some time. However, if you do decide to install a decent number of mods then the Feed The Beast (FTB) client is probably the best way to go because of how easy it makes adding/removing mods from the provided modpacks.
I'm...
I've been given the blue microphones snowball ice as a present, mostly for use in game and on skype. Unfortunately there's no easy way of muting/unmuting it. Currently I am resorting to right clicking on the sound icon in the taskbar, selecting recording devices, double clicking the microphone...
A couple of friends I play with online have been nagging me for ages to get a new microphone. They are now threatening to get me a new mic as a birthday present and, while I’m sure they would get me something nice, part of me fears that they would get something silly like Barbie’s first...
I haven't looked into it much so their opinion may be a bit biassed, but Sky believe he has had 5 crashes in the 2015 season up to singapore (race 13) which were his fault: http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/24231/9992453/was-pastor-to-blame
Is my googlefu incredibly weak today, or has autosport not done their usual live commentary of the Pirelli test? (presumably because its the Pirelli test, rather than a proper test day)
