    New PC spec suggestions

    Thanks guys. I replaced the case with the Corsair Vengeance C70 (and reduced the number of fans from 6->3) and the graphics card with Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X. Also I upgraded the SSD to a 256GB Vertex 4. Thanks for the help guys, it's all ordered now!

    New PC spec suggestions

    The lack of a DVD drive is intentional :) Looking at bit-tech's case benchmarks for cooling, the Antec 1200 trumps the Bitfenix, and we're impartial to the design differences. Thanks for the feedback though :)

    New PC spec suggestions

    Hi all, Just wondering if you guys could check over the specs for a gaming machine I'll be building for a friend of mine. Mainly just checking that I've chosen the right things for the price range! YOUR BASKET Motherboard: 1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard...

    Wifi switch for an otherwise wired network

    Hi all, I will be moving to university soon and unfortunately my flat or room has no wireless connectivity. I am wondering if there are any switches available which also act as wireless access points. I'm sure they exist but I'm having a really hard time finding one. I keep finding wifi...

    University network will not allow me to use custom DNS, other options?

    He means you need a VPN company that has servers in the US, not "More than, the VPN company, has exit points in the US"

    ** A Day at OcUK - Stelly's New System - EPIC CUSTOM BUILD **

    Looks like different loops with different coloured coolant to me.

    Intermittent motherboard/psu issue options?

    I had a StealthXStream PSU that refused to boot about 1 week after the warranty (1 year) expired. The fact that a PSU has lasted 5 years anyway shows it's lived a good life. I expect it is most likely the PSU, do you not know anyone whose power supply you could borrow to check if the PC boots?

    PC randomly rebooting on its own

    The event log contains nothing interesting, really. There are no event logs relating to the shutdown, but it whinges a bit after restarting: Kernel-Power (Critical): "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding...

    PC randomly rebooting on its own

    I just crashed an hour ago and the latest minidump is from 3 days ago (when I fixed the BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD). Do you still want it?

    PC randomly rebooting on its own

    Hi all, I'm currently having a problem where my PC will randomly hard reset (no BSOD or warning) during non-processor intensive tasks (such as editing a Word document), but has yet to reboot during CS:GO or watching 1080p movies across 3 monitors. This has led me to believe it's not a...

    gta560ti twin frozr noise

    Contact OC, they're replacing mine (same card, same problem... except it was impossible to mitigate the noise completely.) Horrendous vibrations... was making my entire case shake.

    Bloomfield 'best cherry chip' by rjk

    Wow that's amazing. Do you mind sharing your BIOS settings? I'm on an i7 920 too. 4.2GHz at 1.39v... watercooled. It's ridiculous how hard this chip is to overclock. I have the same stepping and revision as you, so I'm very interested how you achieved this OC!

    MSI R6950 Twin FrozR III rattling

    Thanks :D I've contacted OC now. Hopefully they can do something about it.

    MSI R6950 Twin FrozR III rattling

    It's not possible to RMA directly to MSI (they say go to the reseller) and I'm doubting OC will want anything to do with it (I broke it, it's not their problem, right?) Any ideas?

    MSI R6950 Twin FrozR III rattling

    Was worried that was the problem. During a recent painful episode, my finger got caught in one of the fans and a fan fin broke off. This must void the warranty for sure. Is it possible to buy spare Twin FrozR III coolers from OC or MSI? Or if I RMA the item they could replace it and I pay?

    MSI R6950 Twin FrozR III rattling

    Hi all, I've got a problem with my 6950 that's causing it to vibrate loudly between 45%-75% fan speed. I've had to set my temperature/fan speed curve to: ...to stop it vibrating. How can I prevent this? I can reduce the vibration if I support the unsupported end of the PCB up. Note that...

    Tri-monitor setup

    Unfortunately, I bought the 6950 at the same time as someone else (no seriously what're the god damn chances) and fate was against me. So I'm still open for suggestions guys! I'm struggling to find a 6950/6970 that's economically viable (I don't want to have to replace them both in a year when...

    6970, should I trifire?

    I assume you have dual 6970's at the moment? What's your total resolution with all 3 monitors then? Also what FPS do you get on Ultra on BF3? It would be very useful for me to know this as I'm considering dual crossfire of 6950s, and mainly play BF3. Thanks in advance man :)

    Tri-monitor setup

    Well that was quick guys... just saw a B-grade 6950 Twin Frozr II for £150 so I've snapped it up! Thanks for all the help as usual!

    Tri-monitor setup

    Unfortunately I don't have that kind of cash. I'm already spending over £300 on these two new monitors. Unfortunately OC no longer sell my graphics card (6950 Twin Frozr III), and I really don't have enough cash for a 7970 (or nvidia equivalent). Thanks haha but it's not until mid June...
