Many thanks guys. Looks like the Pascal budget versions (GTX 1040 and 1050) are not going to arrive now until next year so seems Radeon Polaris will be the way to go. Hope they prove as friendly in use as Geforce have over the years for my dual monitor setup :)

I am looking to future proof my new OLED TV for displaying UHD video files from my PC. It's probably going to be the LG B6V. Is there a reasonably priced GPU around yet that will provide an HDMI 2.0a port to support both the HDR10 standard and Dolby Vision? I am not interested in gaming. I...

I can't find where to do step 2. :confused:

That was one of the first things I ran - but made no difference long term anyway.

Yeah, I thought it was probably something along those lines. Just wish it was possible to tell which process was actually causing the problem when it happened - could maybe have saved me months of frustration. Still I guess the moral of the story is never trust the short tests in Seatools...

The one that is fine.

For months I have had a number of irritating intermittent problems: trouble booting, Windows grinding to a halt for up to a minute whilst multi-tasking and then continuing (bit like ANRs in Android), frequent corruption of downloads. Sometimes fiddling in the case was enough to get a week or...

Thanks for the advice. It's just the budget ones seem to offer dual 12v rail. I would be happy to pay the extra for say the Corsair tx650w. But this only has a single rail. The top brand dual rails really are out of my range. To my simple mind dual rail means a lot better cos it spreads...

Been looking at the Ocuk range. The higher powered ones seem remarkably well priced. Is there a downside to this budget range? Are the noisy? Less reliable?

The 650w unit is always in use but I do have an old 400w unit I could try in. However, I'm not sure what this would achieve. If mine is a faulty unit that is damaging the memory, wouldn't the old one work fine and then wouldn't it just happen again when I put the Akasa back in? Maybe I...

I'd be grateful if for opinions on this one (6 month old system in sig). I am about to receive my second pair of replacement DDR. Problems seemed to start a few weeks ago when I replaced the stock cooler with the Titan Fenrir and had to start using the blue memory slots. Immediately system...

I can't find what combination of enabling stuff will get me to be able to enter DDR Voltage manually in BIOS (AMI) on MSI 790FX-GD70. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks but all I can find there is an ever poorer version of the installation guide that comes with it. I'll trawl through some of the reviews and see if I can pick up anything there.

The pictures in the guide that comes with this are pathetic. Anyone know of a good step by step guide for installating this beastie? I can't even find a website for them.

Yes, all on Auto Yeah. Just worrying. I did have a problem updating to the current BIOS. I used MSI update software to do the flash and it did come up with a failure error first time. However on reboot the new version was there and all seemed OK. So, if it will let me, I will try to...

Oh dear. Sounds serious. That mean it's faulty? I have the latest (1.7).

OK definitely NOT heat related. I misread the quick flash of Everest graphs. It was the GPU showing 70 odd. With CnQ off CPU getting to 49 max but CPU fan hits 6000 . GPU in low 70s. I now get this message on reboot after crash: "A Hyper Transport sync flood error has occurred on the last...

Just been installing a couple of games on fairly new Phenom 965 125W build which has been running sweetly at stock speed with stock cooler. 2 minutes into Assassin's Creed it goes into windows mode and I get a message from W7 to turn off Aero. Restarted game and got total shutdown with power...

Thanks for the input guys. So much to take in. I am now leaning to the HDT1283 which gets great reviews everywhere I look and which seems to outperform its big brother the 1284! And it's not much more than £20! On the other hand so is the Arctic Freezer 7. Failing that I think the Nero looks...

Yeah, thanks. As long as it's under £50 price is less important than ease of fitting on this one. My case is Antec 300 btw. Not sure if this means there will be problems with the vertical ones?
