:) I just logged on to do a build as an idea and this is pretty much what I had in mind (except I really aren't up to date with the best boards to match chips etc.) Thanks for that! Case wise that looks fine, I could go bigger as there is room to put it if it made any real difference? That board...

Hi all, I am looking to get something powerful enough to drive an Oculus Rift-S nicely Will put in the lounge, so pretty much only used for VR and will use the TV as a monitor Buying for a birthday present, so hoping someone has some experience with what would be a good fit really, especially...

Could anybody have a quick scan through this and tell me if I am way out with any parts or whether there are any better value bits?? Would be most appreciated as I have been away from computers for a little while. Asus P5K Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £59.99...

Cheers, gotcha. It's just the next platform as such then? No inherent benefits except allowing more powerful future hardware and software? Was just wondering why everyone is buzzing about it, then remembered where I was!!!! Might look at it in 12 mths then when 4ghz chips, 8gb ram and some...

I have tried searching for this question ;) no joy. So, I run an AMD dual core chip, with 2gb of ram and an X1800XT. What are the benefits to me of an upgrade to Vista of any kind? I don't use WMC, I do game though. Sorry to sound like a noob, have been gaming since MS-dos days, but...

Cheers guys!!! Did a bit of erm...cable management last night and turned up my chip antec and case antec 120 fans to the medium position. Result...temp now does'nt go above 50 even under full load!!! Guess I'm just a messy get. So top tip for anyone overheating the PWMIC - tidy up your...

Just changed the stock heatpipe AMD cooler that comes with the Opteron 170 for a mates XP120 to reduce noise a little. CPU temps in smartguardian have not really changed, which does'nt surprise me as they were struggling to go over 40 anyway. The problem is the PWMIC temperature is going over...

Got one this week, with a DFi Nforce 4 Ultra, have'nt had a chance to prime yet, but installed xp fine at 2.6 running 1:1 with some gskill and ran through 3dmark 2005 at 2.5 with no glitches. Doom3 also no worries @ 1200x1000 Apologies for the poor testing, but struggling to get online to get...

Off I go then, so long as the principle might work!!

Have an Nforce 4 Ultra D board bought recently, trying to find out what some of the settings are for. What does the above do?? Also, a guide to the board would be great if anyone has heard of one. (Now trawling through the big thread!!!!) :confused:

Got a sonata 2, which comes standard with some piping to go over the cpu fan, in order to allow it to get fresh air from outside the case. Quick question - does this actually lower temps or not? Has anyone done a comparison?? :confused:

Thats just the kind of tweak I was hoping for really, shame to spend a grand and be just off!! I was thinking of a fairly safe 250 overclock anyway, nothing too extreme!!

Mebbe wrong forum so apologies. Do you need XP Pro or 64 to run a dual core chip properly? Nowhere seems to state this clearly and I will be spending ££ soon, so any help appreciated

Just hoping that this setup will allow me to run a decent overclock on the opteron. Is this motherboard good, has anyone had any success. Any help mucho appreciated GX-048-PC PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-PC) £229.95...

Morning, thanks for all your help!!

Cheers, just wondering which board is faster, or does it not make any difference?

Looking to purchase the following and was just wondering, although I like the Asus board, it is SLi whereas if I am having an ATi card, I might as well go for a board with crossfire. However all the crossfire boards seem cheaper, does this mean I would be better to keep with the Asus? (Probably...
