Hi all. Bought two of these bundles last week but seems the cashback offer is no longer available. Would you be able to confirm if this is the case?

Well, I've only tried GTA V and Dyling Light, both for only about 20 mins each (would die after 3-4 mins previously). I have both games set to 1920x1080 (best my monitor will do) with everything on max./ultra and they both run smooth as silk :). Will leave Samsung Magician off for now but may...

Yep, I noticed it just before I went to the garage and changed the pagefile back to dynamic and shut down. Just got back and am going to boot and try it. Edit : Changed the pagefile to dynamic and re-tried GTA V. It lasted longer before eventually crashing. This time the error said "failed...

Yep, I'm running Samsung Magician and have it set to maximise reliability. I have 70GB of free space on the SSD (Samsung Evo 840). Edit : marc2003 - will do after I'm back from taking car to garage :(

HI, Nope :). Basic Windows 10 installation. Everything cool with the old card, nothing changed (except a driver re-installation) when I put in the new card. Bob.

Hi, My trusty old HD7850 gave up the ghost the other day so I replaced it with this : Radeon R9 390 "DD Black Edition" 8192MB GDDR5 Much excited I ran Dying Light on full everything and boom, crashed with out of system memory error (I have 8GB). I had to turn the graphics options down...

Hi all, I move my gaming machine around quite a lot and would like a change from the midi-tower. So I was wondering if there was such a thing as a m-atx case that would take an ATI 5850 and was (preferably) made of plastic? Bob.

Thanks very much :)

Hi, Can anyone explain where the fan goes on this puppy? Do you fit it on the side of heatsink nearest the back of the case or the side furthest away? Then, which way round does the fan go, how do you know which way it blows the air? Sounds like a daft question but I've put my hand...

Cob, Thanks for your reply. Just for everyones information I RMA'd the board. I'd tried reseating all the cables, I took the board out of the case to rule out shorts, I'd reset the CMOS, etc. Still got no video or beeps (even tried another speaker just in case). No option in the end...

Hi all, Just putting together a build with the above MB. When I turn on the power, LAN LED comes on, disk spins up, CPU fan starts...and nothing. No display output, no beeps. I've tried with the RAM taken out to make it beep and nothing. Anyone had any experience with these? Or am...

Yes you can. That's what I've done in the BIOS. But on boot I get BSOD and reboot. Like I said I think it's due to the installed OS not having the RAID drivers. Was wondering if you could shoehorn them in somehow.

Admiral, Thanks for reply, but I'm trying to set up the new RAID config. without re-installing the OS (sorry for not being clear). Was wondering if this could be done. I don't want the OS on the mirror, it's for data only. Bob.

Hi, I've got a system up and running with a single SATA drive using Vista Ultimate. I've purchased an additional 2 x 1TB SATA drives that I want to run in a RAID 1 configuration so I have the existing OS drive as standalone and the 2 new drives with mirror. Can I do this without having...

Well, I used CPU-Z and it shows that the CPU throttles correctly. Thanks for that. I assume then that coretemp is buggy?

Hi, Using coretemp to measure and OCCT and prime to load. Bob.

Hi, I've more or less finished OCing my system (3Ghz on Q6600) so was looking at turning speedstep, etc back on thinking I'd run at 3Ghz under load and it would throttle back when idle saving power. Is this right? I only ask because after re-enabling C1E and E1ST in the BIOS the CPU is...

Wow, it was that easy! Don't those hidden settings make life a joy? Thanks Cob. I can't believe how straightforward it was to overclock the system. I really hope my new arrival tomorrow (Q6600 + Abit IP35 Pro) does just as well :).

Hi, New to overclocking these days (used to do a lot of it back in the early 90's :) ) but thought I'd give it go. The system I've experimented with is a Core2Duo E6700 on a Gigabyte 965p DS3 mobo with 4GB (2x2GB) of GSkill DDR2 PC2-6400C4 (CL4-4-4-12, 2.0v - 2.1v). After reading these forums...

Just one me and a few mates hold. Just got back now, PC been working fine all day, plugged it in back at home and it's doing that stupid powercycle-before-bios thing (Gigabyte DS3P) :(
