    PC not coming out of S3 standby properly - any ideas?

    I have my PC on S3 standby when not in use. Yesterday I switched it on and it appeared to come on but there was no display. So I switched it off and on again, but it starts to power up for about 5 seconds and then cuts off and starts again in a loop. Ive reset the bios with the jumpers but that...

    Easy Tune 5 ??

    My main gripe with it is that it doesnt save your settings. On reboot you will be back to stock. I think the 'save' button must be a red herring. And like the other posters Ive found it crashes the machine 50% of the time.

    LGA775 CPU cooler for HTPC

    Hello Im looking for a cpu fan to replace the stock one that came with my c2d for an HTPC. The stock one makes an annoying buzzy sound that can easily be heard in quiet parts of films. Looking around there doesn't appear to be an obvious choice as the fan needs to be about the same size as...

    2 pin tuniq tower 120 cooler - where do I plug it in?

    Great thanks very much. I forgot about that. So i guess that means that plugging it straight into the mobo isnt an option - not that I can think of why you would want to?

    2 pin tuniq tower 120 cooler - where do I plug it in?

    Apologies for what is probably a stupid question but I just received my Tuniq Tower 120 cpu cooler from OC and it comes with a 2 pin plug. The mobo as far as I'm aware has 3 pin sockets for fans and 4 pin socket for the cpu. So where does this plug in? Thanks Ben

    Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 bios update question

    Hello all I just bought a second hand Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 and plan to use a C2D E2140. I just read that this cpu isnt supported until F11 bios. I haven't received the mobo yet but I think its probably prudent if I assume that the bios is not new enough to support the processor. So my...

    Fanmate alternative for 4 pin socket 775?

    Its in a htpc cube case so not much room and no overclocking so doesnt get hot. The asus mobo supports q fan which is quite quiet but the changing speed of the fan means changing pitch which is irritating in quiet bits of films. I have no particular objaction to changing the fan i just wanted to...

    Fanmate alternative for 4 pin socket 775?

    I ordered a fanmate to control the speed of my intel 775 cpu fan and discovered to my delight that it uses 4 pins rather than the traditional 3 and so the fanmate wont work. Does anyone know of a simple fan controller that will work? Thanks Ben

    The Asrock Conroe945G-DVI has no PCI lock. A problem when OC?

    Will overclocking this board with a PCI soundcard mess it up with as it has no lock? Only a PCIE lock.I need the soundcard as the board has no spdif and its for a HTPC. Cheers

    Whats the best mATX Mobo for OC an E4300?

    Thanks. In that case I will get the cheapest that has s/pdif and spend more on the cpu.

    Noob question about DDR2 ram

    Cheers. Ultimately what im getting at is if i plonk 667 ddr2 in and set the memory to 266mhz and then upp the fsb will it will mean that the memory will be running up to spec? Or would something else stop this from being the case.

    Noob question about DDR2 ram

    Thanks. I wasnt sure if it was the same as DDR memory where you could plonk 3200 ram in a 2700 slot, it would just run slower than normal.

    Noob question about DDR2 ram

    Hi there Im thinking of buying the Abit IP-95 mATX motherboard as part of a HTPC with a core 2 E4300 overclocking as much as I can. The spec of the mobo says it supports DDR2 533mhz ram. Now if im overclocking does it make sense to get DDR2 667mhz ram to give me some headroom when...

    Whats the best mATX Mobo for OC an E4300?

    Hi Im looking for a mATX mobo to go in a HTPC. The mobo needs to have spdif to connect to my amp. Im planning to use an E4300 Core 2 as they are going for cheap at the moment. I also want to get a bit of a speed bump by overclocking as far as I can. Ive ruled out the Abit Fatal1ty on...

    Best cpu cooler for Antec cube case?

    Hi there I am looking to put together a system utilising the Antec cube case and a socket 775 mobo (probably the Abit Fatal1ty as it means I dont need a video card and allows overclocking of a core 2 duo). Ive seen some reviews and pics and its really difficult to tell what the biggest and...

    Will AM2 equal no new models cpu's for socket 939

    I've pretty much come to accept that I will have to change the mobo when changing the cpu. This time we will also have to change ram to ddr2. A bit annoying - but it is progress and not just change for the sake of change.

    A battlefield2 thread

    Found another anoying bug which might have already been covered. Last night I dropped a couple of clays around a flag as I recently discovered they dont cause team damage any more. Then I died and was moved by the server to the other team. The clay then killed one of my own team and I ended up...

    A battlefield2 thread

    Aaahhhh I see. Thanks for that. Up until now I had been using the jeeps as mobile bombs with c4 attached all over. I can actually do some shooting now. :) Another quick question - I have earned 800 points and whenever the servers have a chance to update properly I think I am due an unlock...
