Hi all I trust everyone is well and happy :) I have put together a full series of review videos for my new Alienware Area 51m Gaming Laptop I've had some great feedback so I felt it could be useful to post them to my fave performance PC outlet! I am putting together part 4 right now so any...

Thanks for that dude... I have used winflash & awdflash with my old abit boards and my Shuttle XPC, i do tend to get a little nervous when flashing the BIOS, particularly as i was living in Thailand for around 7 years before moving here to Cyprus 3 months ago and the power grid in thailand is a...

I have the P5K3 Deluxe Wifi/AP Here's my brand new system's full specs (finished (95%) building it about 1 week ago and still playing) Primary Components ASUS P5K3 Deluxe Wifi/AP QX6700 2.66Ghz Corsair 2GB DDR3 DHX 1333C9DHX TwinX (2x1GB) BFG 8800GTX OC (w/DD Water block)...

Naa, i know what you mean, i think they will be for show more than go... There will be a good amount of airflow down in that area where the harddrives will be mounted (once my custom rack is finished) so they should be cool enough, got 2 x Raptor 74Gb chaps going in so just thought the...

Hi esiemi, thanks for your post... As this is the first watercooling system i have built, i am a little 'paranoid' to say the least, plus, over £4000 has gone into this baby so really want to avoid any issues... btw - fyi, i am running a swiftech apoggee GTX Special Edition CPU block with...

hi Guys, just put together the first waterloop (just with de-ionised water at the moment) to see if there are any leaks... just wanted to ask if the pump is supposed to get 'reasonably' hot? I have a Laing DDC Ultra Pump with OCLabs plexi Top and the back of the pump feels slightly hot.. I...

Ok cool, thanks guys... That means i can buy a few more "SATA II" cables for my other devices and have them matching, wanted to use different colours for the Optical drives than the Hard Drives but now i know both drives will work with the cables that are listed as "SATA II".. Thanks again...

Hi Guys, I am trying to compile a list of stuff i need to finish off my new system and am confused about the SATA I / SATA II situation.. Is it backwards compatible? I.E in a similar way to 'older' USB1 and 'newer' USB2 devices use the same cables? The reason i ask is that i am ordering...

Okey doke, cool.. I think i am set with going for the dual PA120.2's, one up top mounted towards the front and one at the bottom... two seperate loops completely, one for CPU-N/B and one loop for the GPU on it's own.. Thanks for your help dude, i appreciate you guys taking the time to help...

Hi weescott, Hmm, i hadn't thought about the PA160... but ideally i would have put that on the back of the case, or in the front lower air intake area of the V2000. But now i am thinking about going down the double loop route.. using 2 X PA120.2's and 2 X Laing 12V D5 Vario Pumps. My...

Okey doke Bomag, cheers (stupid question, the answer was obvious once i re-read it lol)... Well, as i said before i had anticipated tryin to get around 3Ghz stable so you have given me loads of hope!! I bet you're system rocks doesnt it? Will i see much difference in performance from my...

Hiya paul_64l, thanks for your suggestion.. I was looking at the Apogee GTX CPU waterblock so it would be nice to have a matching(ish) chipset block too ;) It says on the description on the overclockers.co.uk catalogue that is supports all Asus Mobo but you're sure it will slip onto the IN9...

Hi Chaps, i am planning on getting a new system put together next week (while visiting the UK) and have read that the Abit IN9 Max 32 board gets pretty hot around the North Bridge (and even South Bridge)... Since i am putting a water cooled system together, i would really appreciate any advice...

Just seen your reply bomag, what is the standard (non-O/C) FSB & Multiplier of the QX6700? Cheers mate, Andy

When you say use 2 rads in same position, are you suggesting stacking them? Alternatively, i was thinking of running 2 completely seperate loops, using 2 X 120.2's (one mounted at top of case and one mounted on bottom floor panel. I am only using 1 GPU so i reckon a double rad would be...

Hi Bomag, Thanks for your post, are you saying you have the QX6700 that i am planning to get and you have got that (stock 2.66) to run stable at 3.5Ghz?? Man, i would be happy even to get to 3Ghz dude!... I'd be interested to hear what Mobo you have too... I think i'm gonna stick with my...

LOL, in some respects as a result of my first post i'm almost back to the drawing board in terms of specs now... I was really looking forward to the QX6700 as i was hoping to get it to around 3Ghz with stable overclock... I apreciate the £300 extra maybe somewhat difficult to justify for some...

Hmm, Thanks for your input chaparral, So i am interested to know your reasons for recomending the Thermochill Rad vs the Black Ice GTX? Is this due to better flow? Bare in mind i want to have quiet as poss so i thought the Black Ice GTX series coped with lower fan speeds than any other...

Hi Guys, Although i have been overclocking high end pc systems for many years, i am yet to venture into the realms of watercooling.... I am ready for a complete system upgrade (re-build) and due to the high specs i am planning, i cant see any other way of achieving a highly stable / low noise...

Hi Corasik, Thanks for your reply... funny you should mention the 2Gb vs 4Gb issue.. i was reading about that on another post (and wont go too heavily into it here as obviously this is the CPU forum ;).. Suffice to say, i am pretty much leaning towards throwing in 4Gb of the OCZ (2GB x...
