    Naim Uniti Nova or ?

    Quite a lot to take in. Mr_Sukebe, appreciate the detailed response. Your assumption is correct in that I would prefer a good 2.1 setup vs an ok 5.1. The source for music is likely going to be an iPad or Macbook, the desktop is not coming with me. I'll have a look at the Marantz...

    Naim Uniti Nova or ?

    Hello, I am in the process of moving home and decided it would be a good time to consolidate and upgrade some of the home cinema equipment. The requirement is to have a one box (or as close as) solution to primarily play music but the occasional film. Equipment: TV - Undecided but likely to...

    27inch - AOC or Iiyama ?

    @ NickOw. Only just realised I haven't replied to this. OcUK collected the old monitor on Wednesday and I had the new one by Friday morning. Unfortunately the 2nd monitor suffered worse backlight bleed than what you posted even with the brightness down to 20. I contacted Iiyama today as I...

    27inch - AOC or Iiyama ?

    Thought I would add my 2 pence to this topic of the Iiyama Prolite XB2779QS-S. The Bad: - Mine also suffered quite bad backlight bleed even with the brightness at 20, you can clearly see huge blotches of light on most backgrounds. You could pretty much forget watching films. - Sickly burning...

    WC virgin needs some advice...

    Looks good :) Avoid like the plague unless your doing a very budget CPU only loop I would get the D5. I have owned a D5 and DDC 18W... like the D5 so much I now have 2 in my loop. -Get yourself a tubing cutter. -I always get 2 more 90/45 degree fitting than I need just in case. -I...

    laing d5 pump speed

    From my loop testing, every 125Mhz increase in overclock = 1C higher load temps. This is factoring in voltage bumps. Your only likely to see 10C difference if you have a very restrictive loop. My point is that adjust your pump speed based on your what you are cooling and your equipment. You...

    New to water cooling what to buy?

    Going by your shopping list, you'll need 8. I would also get a few 45degree and 90 degree fittings just incase you have trouble with routing.

    New to water cooling what to buy?

    Nickel and copper are fine. Its Aluminium and Copper you want to avoid. In regards to fittings, pick a hose dimension of your choice and get the appropriate size fittings. Personally, I always have used 1/2 ID 3/4 OD tubing with good quality compression fittings and QDC's for the graphics...

    Best Monitoring tools/software

    Its more or less identical minus the display so yes. They provide a blank plate so you can mount it on a spare drive bay in the kit. If you don't have room, use some Velcro and mount it somewhere else, ideally next to a fan. With all my sensors plugged in, I have measured the power area...

    laing d5 pump speed

    I found it is entirely based how restrictive your loop is. As an example: I am running 2x D5's with the EK tops on the CPU loop. CPU Block is a XSPC RayStorm and there are 2x 120.1 rads. Initially these were the Black Ice Stealth GTS120 but now are XSPC RX120.1's. Running both pumps on "3"...

    ** NEW - XSPC RayStorm CPU Block **

    TBH I would have been happier if I had the room for a single 240 or even a 360 rad for the CPU. The new XSPC rads look rather yum. Top and rear exhausts are for the CPU rads at the moment. Keeping it looking as "stock" as possible is important whilst keeping it below whisper quiet. The...

    Compiling from source

    Thanks for that, I'll have a look tonight. That was one of the first places I looked but there was nothing to say "build..." anything in any of the menus. It's a windows exe.

    Compiling from source

    Hullo all, I need a bit of advice. I am looking to compile a program from source. I have used TortoiseSVN to download all the required files and saved it in a folder called Source/ The README indicates the program can be compiled and debugged in Microsoft Visual Studio. I open the...

    Who owns an iPod alternative?

    Been using this combination for a few years and absolutely love it: Sony NWZ-X1060 32GB OLED Sennheiser IE8 Comply TX-500 Foam Tips Brilliant battery life (charge it maybe once every 2 weeks), crisp clear sound and display. Use it every day at the gym and on the way to work.

    E5300 overclocking?

    Depending on the batch, you should see 3.5-3.75Ghz relativly easily. I own a E5200 which is the same chip with a lower multi. Here is the current OC: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Also did 3.75Ghz @ 1.16v Uploaded with ImageShack.us Been running at the 4Ghz settings for the...
