Thanks, found 'em. Bryn

I have to remove 2 PCIe graphics cards from my PC in order to remove and replace the defunct PSU (a cable is routed under the cards). Are there any hidden locking tabs which have to be released before I can lift the cards out? I have a memory of breaking a tab off a card some years ago in...

Thanks folks, that did it. What I need now is one of the elves with very very small hands that Overclockers used to get the 8 pin connector onto the motherboard socket in between the case and the enormous cooling tower. Actually, the new PSU I am installing has 2 4 pin connectors that *don't*...

It's a bit crowded in there. The manual makes it clear that the cage should be able to come out of the front of the case, but doesn't say how to get the front off. There is a slot at the bottom of the front panel which looks as if it is meant to be tugged at (as on one of my older cheaper...

Newbie alert! Can't see how the front comes off my Antec 900 case - which I think I need to do in order to get at the 3.5 HDD cage. I'm actually trying to get one of the HDDs out in order to remove with tweezers the broken bit of plastic jammed in the SATA power slot which broke off...

I'm considering putting SSDs into 2 older PCs (an Athlon 64 with XP and an i7 with Windows 7) and I don't want to do a complete Windows reinstall in either case, but just use something like the Corsair Transfer kit to move the files over, plug in and go. I know I won't get the super fast...

Thanks, I'll head over to the official support forums again. -- Bryn

Bother, its happened again. I shut down the system and rebooted; it tried 3 times to reboot and when it finally came back on line the clock was back at 134 again. Any comments folks? -- Bryn

My overclock disappeared! Turned on today and found my pretty new Ultima Eliminator 4GHz i7 920 Gigabyte X58 system was only reaching 2.8 GHz at full load. Resolved by going into BIOS, taking the F12 option to load the Overclockers profile into CMOS, saving BIOS, and restarting. This put...

Thanks, I would never have guessed that in the proverbial month of Sundays. :) __ Bryn

Thanks!

My pre-built system has 2 GTX285 cards in SLI. If I want to revert to having 2 independent cards, thus allowing 4 outputs, what steps do I have to take other than removing the link cable between the top of the cards? Any clever tricks needed with the drivers and graphics setup or will it...

I want to install a new HD in the Antec 902 case. Manual says slide HD cage forward out of front of case so front panel has to come off. Both side panels are off and I can see a single bolt on each side facing forwards with a washer under its head. Do I have to remove these two bolts...

Thanks, got the email now. -- bryn

Do Overclockers UK give tracking numbers to allow the cucstomer to check delivery progress with the carrier? My order is shown as "ORDER COMPLETE" on my order history page but I can't find anywhere to check to see that it is still somewhere with the carrier rather than delivered to the...

Yes, there is a Line Out socket. I am going by the ABit IP35Pro manual which I downloaded - don't have the board yet. There certainly isn't a socket marked Front, which is what puzzled me in the first place :) -- Bryn

How do I connect an old pair of 2 channel speakers to a 7.1 motherboard which has 3 back panel sockets marked centre/subwoofer, rear left/rear right, and surround left/surround right? The speakers are wired to a single jack plug. I don't want to buy a new speaker set for this machine, but...

Thanks Flying Grouse, that is a great find. Should be in a big sticky at the top of the forum! -- Bryn

If I buy a PC with Vista preinstalled, can I subsequently install XP in a dual boot configuration without having to remove Vista first. I have a dim memory that dual boot can only be carried out when the older OS is installed first, but this may be completely wrong. :confused: -- Bryn

I enquired this week about increasing RAM to 4GB on the This Week Only Q6600 system which is supplied overclocked to 3.4GHz and was told that " We do not currently offer a 4GB option due to added stability issues." Looks like this is what you may be hitting. Try taking 2 sticks out and see...
