    ZERO concern for noise!

    Your R3's got plenty of fan mounts. 3 intakes and 3 exhausts should do the job running full whack! Or throw caution to the wind, butcher the case a bit and chuck in a couple of rads Whatcha mean, "cable management" ? :D

    working for blizzard

    In the entertainment industry? Yes, yes it is. As an aside, I'm pretty good mates with a couple of ex-Blizzard guys from the in-game GM and customer service teams. They both speak highly of their time there so if anyone is sincerely thinking about applying and has the skills, go for it! :p

    4 years on, do we have any major upgrades from i5-2500k?

    Running basically the same. Intel kinda shot themselves in the foot with the 2500k for, what was it, £170? For single screen gamers there's still basically no reason to upgrade :D Loling at the console port bickering, btw. Taking code originally designed for, and engineered around, a specific...

    CPU fused to heat sink - Help?

    I've never had a chip sufficiently stuck that a bit of heat and a twisting motion didn't remove it but this guy on youtube had success with rubbing alcohol dabbed around the edge to soften the paste then dental floss to slice through the rest - www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDRgahrnOC8&t=40s

    A gaming system for £350? Is this even possible?

    A lot of bang for your buck in there, this is the computer I would build if I were going for all new parts. I built my Dad a very similar computer, with an older Ivy Bridge Pentium, and it should run every game in the list competently.

    Shuttle Carry Bag - PF60?

    Do you mind backpacks? I recall my old G5 and P2 shuttles fitting (just barely!) in a cheapo Targus laptop backpack

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't spot this earlier, I'll bone up on the backstory and pick up a copy on PS4 tomorrow. Cheers

    Who is looking forward to GTA V

    Are you on PS3 and how are you quitting? If you interrupt a save the ps3 has the habit of corrupting your settings. Happens to me a lot when I quit multiplayer then kill the power straight away

    Dragon Age:inquisition

    So possible daft question but how accessible is this to someone unfamiliar with the franchise? I dabbled with the first game but life got in the way and I haven't really had the time to invest since but really like the look of this; Is there any way to get upto speed with the story so far (like...

    Who is looking forward to GTA V

    It's basically a big free-for-all holding area between jobs and activities. You can go into passive mode through the interaction menu (hold select/back/PS4 touchpad) which 'ghosts' your character to others and makes you impervious to player-to-player damage

    Upgrade from GTX480

    I upgraded from a 480 to a then still-quite-expensive 7970 GHz edition and was quite satisfied with the jump in performance and noise reduction (my 480's in my sig :rolleyes: ). Since the 280X is basically a re-brand I'm thirding that suggestion

    ArcheAge, Ultima Online's rebirth?

    I was seeing the exact thing earlier today but since switching to DX9 haven't seen them. Not an ideal solution by any metric but it's made the game far more playable for me. Are we allowed to share codes? I have a spare beta weekend code

    Good shout mate, thanks. I've added a pair of noctuas to the front rad and have an AP121 on order for the bottom intake

    Fractal R3 case airflow suggestions?

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a couple of corsair coolers so have my Fractal R3 provisionally set up as above: - Corsair H100 acting as a front intake, cooling a 1.15 GHz 7970 - Corsair H100i acting as a roof vent, cooling a 4.5 GHz 2500k - Some generic PWM fan cooling the radeon's VRMs...

    Steelseries Sensei owners, a few questions

    Hey all, I've just bought a Sensei raw for use at work and absolutely love the ergonomics to the point that I now "need" to replace my home mouse, an original CM Storm Sentinel. I'm considering picking up the fullblooded Sensei to replace it but have a couple of questions for current...
