Ah ha, I have the same problem... Its been about 3 months since finishing the build and I've had 2 ST120's die and 1 more that sounds like its on its way out! What I have noticed is that the 3 x ST120's that came with the Galahad 360mm AIO are ok, the other ST120's that were bought separately...

One other avenue, it's generally against the terms of your mortgage agreement to rent/Airbnb your property, £5 to the land registry to find out the bank & fire over a letter :D

yeaasss, nothing like the sound of shattered dremmel cutting discs pinging of your safety glasses at the weekend :-)

Yea both CPU & GPU, it's a big ol little rad - 85mm thick :eek: In stock form it should cope in theory, fingers crossed, touch wood. OCing anything may take its toll... I'll let you know once its all setup :D

Parts List... All the bits I'm going to cram in the Elite 120 are en route now :) Case : Cooler Master Elite 120 Mobo : Asrock FM2A85X-ITX CPU : AMD A10-5800K RAM : Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB GFX : Gigabyte HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X PSU : Trusty old Corsair HX620 Cooling...

there is a "cooling configurator" on the EK web site, jam in your graphics card model & it'll let you know which blocks are compatible.

I picked up an Elite 120 fairly cheap a few weeks ago & was going to throw the innards of my ISK300 in it with a bigger heat sink, but... I seem to have taken a knock on the head & decided to water cool it, starting by taking a drill to drive cage rivets & cramming an Alphacool NexXxus...

Ordered it last week from another supplier, they had the mobo i wanted in stock so i got it all from the same place. I though all the i3 550's were K0 (due to later release date) & it was the 530's had various steppings?!? not 100% though.

ah ha got a score :) http://www.deicedeskimo.com/OC_ChessBM_s.jpg

hehe thanks for the advice rjkoneill. That was with the vCore set to Auto, looks like i'll have to keep a keen eye on what this boards doing with it's auto voltages, i did notice the vDimm was looking a tad high too :)

Decided to retire my Q6600 (G0, 1.1v VID) because i wanted to play with something new. Ended up with an i3 550 on a Maximus III Gene with some Corsair Dominator GT 12800 C7. Never played with an i3/5/7 or DDR3 RAM so finding my feet at the mo, but seem to be getting some nice overclocks (i...

Not a bad fit at all. I mounted the rad on the rear 120, bit fiddley to get in initally, but it's all fitted and working well :)

I have a P180 mini and have just fitted a Hydro H70 inside :-)

I just got an Asus Maximus III Gene (1156), very good motherboard indeed, plenty of features & OC's well, would happily recomend it. There is the Rampage III Gene (1366) if its anything like the Maximus it should perform quite well id imagine as for the case, my diminutive uATX machine is in...

yea will do, prob be tomorrow now as beer takes precedent over benchmarking tonight :-) i've got it prime stable @ 4.4GHz currenly, but it looks like there's plenty of headroom still... 4.75GHz booted into Win7 :-) but not stable enough to benchmark (yet) :-(...

From previous experience (not in an education env though)... If your at tender stage, get a price in for the king daddy solution. 2nd identical SAN Relevant software to replicate (Continuous Access in HP's case) Links to other site/building/floor/room of 2nd SAN All the other junk you...

I'll stick a vote in for IronPort S class appliances We run IronPort S650's and they're rock solid, excellent support & a doddle to configure. 1 proxy config for all our regular users, power users & IT. so no need for multiple appliances. We did look at Bluecoats before & i didnt like...

So your actually building an iSCSI NAS environment for VMWare. the QNAP 410U is no good, not enough balls to get the required throughput. Get one that has got the green light from VMware already, like the TS-459U-SP or RP The HP server... big, noisey & a lot of faffing about to get to a...

Yep one of the main(ish) differences between the chipsets... H55 (No RAID) - H57 (RAID) I just had a quick look @ the spec on the OcUK site & it rekons that board has 14 SATA connections in total!!! :eek::confused: I just had a peek @ the gigabyte site & it says that it has a separate...

All depends on what you can get at a decent price currently. The last RAM i bought for my Q6600 machine was G.Skill ripJaw pc2-9600. that was good for 600MHz out of the box. I used to run 400x9 with a 2:3 FSB to RAM ratio. It looks like you still got a bit of headroom with the 6400 ram you...
