I took the cover off the heat sink and gave it a good clean. Although there was a bit of dust almost all of the fins were clear. Next I increased the power to +50% and left the fan speed at 60%. I then loaded a game with GPU-Z running until it crashed. Looks like the temp peaked at 93...

I tried upping the fan speed to 60%, but not the power limit or clock speeds. I will give both the power limit change and core frequency changes a go as well. The card was the cheapest 290 I could find at the time, a gigabyte one with the hairdryer cooler on it. Looks like this...

I have a reasonable spec machine, I5-4690k, 24GB ram and an AMD 290. When gaming even at lower resolution the game will always crash, sometimes after 30 seconds, sometimes 30 minutes. On some occasions I can get back to the desktop, other times I have to reboot the whole system. I have...

I am trying to run a training CD-ROM and it says I need to have at least a 4 speed drive and mine is only a 2x. Does anyone know where I can get an IDE 4 speed drive? Hopefully not too expensive too! :D

Or stretch to £600 and get this:

Dropped the quad for a dual to include the SSD but could always swap this back for a quad. What do you think? My only concern is will it all fit in that case?

in a nutshell, server and network administration and a bit of development work. It is the screen real estate we are after and already have the monitors. But its also a case of proving what can be assembled with a minimal budget.

Storage isn't a major issue as we can always use a separate drive for bigger files/applications and besides the system is to be used in a corporate environment when all files should be held on a server anyway. a 64gb SSD would be lovely but it is tight with the budget. Dont forget 3 screen...

I am after a reasonable machine which is going to used as a workstation and must be capable of outputting to 3 monitors. I have already priced up various bits but I am curious to see how other people might build this machine. eg 2x gt220 cards or a single triple head card? Processor is not...

I am tasked with purchasing a laptop for somone which can play the sims 2 and run Adobe illustrator. All for under £500. So far I think the best I have found is the Acer TravelMate 5520 with a dual 1.9 ghz turion and ATI® Mobility™ Radeon® HD X2400 XT graphics with 2 gig of ram. That comes...

I get 27k + bonus and healthcare for a 2nd/3rd line role with responsibility for firewall/VPN. 1st line helpdesk people here get about 16k.

My gc's fan wore its bearing out and dropped down and stopped working so its much quieter now. the best upgrade i did for my pc temps was a 12,000 BTU air conditioner for the room.. keep the ambient at 18 or so and the cpu sits at about 25 idle and 32 load with a oem cooler or at least thats...

I dont know about the Nvidia controller or any other hardware based solutions but windows disk managment -could- be used (although its pretty slow I think?) to build a volume across multiple disks or extend a simple or dynamic volume onto new disks. It doesn't seem to mind what model or...

I am considering putting a Small raid together, initially with some 250gig maxline III drives, My controller only supports sata 150. but it looks like i may have to use a mixture of drive models: MaXLine III 250GB SATA 1.5Gb 7L250S0 MaXLine III 250GB SATA 3.0Gb 7V250F0...
