I stopped gaming about 6 odd years ago, through a messy divorce... my new wife is happy for me to get back into gaming, kids are adults so no suck on finances, and I have the money and wanted to build the system myself... but the state of the market it looks like unless I'm really lucky and...

Believe it or not, I just sold the following for £100; ASUS P5KC, Q6600, 4GB OCZ DDR2-800 PLATINUM Rev.2 DUAL CHANNEL And then bought the following from a mate for £100 Foxconn Blackops, Q9650, 4GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 / 2000 MHz / Flex II XLC Running with HD6950 and OCZ Vertex 120GB...

Didn't fail any GCSE's, but think my highest grade was C in maths (was a long time ago). Basically couldn't be arsed through my teen years into my twenties, spent my time partying and off my head, but meeting my wife and having kids etc gave me incentive to get a career and qualifications...

Where I work (about 70-80 people) we operate flexi-time working. Core hours are 9-12 and 2-4. Anyone who works outside of the manufacturing area, i.e. technical staff, HR, finance, etc etc, is entitled to eat at their desk, this includes drinks when you feel like it. What it does mean is you are...

Oh, what a feeling! When we're dancing on the ceiling...

Drove from Newport, Wales, home to Devon this afternoon, and saw a load of police bikes, not all in police uniform, going up the M5 around Bridgewater. Then 5 minutes later saw what must have been 40+ police bikes with marked cars at either end of the convoy with blue lights on in the fast lane...

Have you followed the links in the stickied thread? I recently purchased the HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo 2048MB and was thinking of trying, but decided not to bother in the end... following the links in that thread, it seemed pretty straight forward to me.

I had this problem a couple of years back, and it turned out that I had a line fault. Do you get noise on the line, have your tried the quiet line test? (Dial 17070 and select option 2) Unfortunately when I had the fault O2 washed there hands because at the time I did not have O2 home phone...

Been with them for at least 3 years now, and the service is brilliant. I am lucky enough to be on the legacy LLU service, so I get truly unlimited, and my connection is 17-18Meg. I also have my phone with them. Recently I was tempted to go to Sky for phone & internet, but upon contacting O2 for...

Generally in electronics pin 1 is indicated by a mark on a component, but doesn't always indicate positive... tried reading the manual?

From the ops post the pork mince dish sounds and looks fairly appetising, however, the thought of pigs knuckle is off putting, but looks bearable.

I think people are missing the wider point here.... what is your gf doing in Paris, why aren't you there :P On a more serious note, I got rear ended by a woman driver distracted by her dog which was sat on the passenger seat, but I digress. Although at first glance there appeared to be no...

Not an actual kettle lead, he means a mains lead with IEC C13 connector... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#C13.2FC14_coupler

Good show old bean... What multiplier / clock speed have you set, and what RAM type and settings are you using? Would be greatly appreciated :) I was running at 3.2GHz, 8*400MHz, but was unsure of how high I could push the vcore, and every so often the overclock would fail and reset on boot...

@Barno I would be interested to know your BIOS settings, as I have a similar Mobo / CPU setup and am thinking of overclocking. Did have a try ages ago, but gave up due to lack of time. TIA.

10.6 RST drivers would not install on my system, anyone else had this? Error message - this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software. Looking in device manager, I have Intel ICH9 SATA AHCI driver 7.0.0.1013 installed for the controller, and for the SSD...

Hi, I am adding the following components to my system; HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 IceQ X Turbo 2048MB OCZ Vertex 2E 120GB I understand that the 6950 can be unlocked to 6970 from the OCUK thread, and this link in the thread reporting 70 out of 71 tested worked fine (last update March)...
