Thanks Rab, is that advanced settings in BIOS? Which software do you use to control fan speed?

any ideas?

HI Montegue I havent noticed any strange sounds, although I am using a separate soundcard.

Hi I'm trying to optimise the noise. Any idea how/if I can individually control the speeds of the system fans in software or BIOS on Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R? Cant find it in the mboard software or manual thanks

Perhaps a helicopter was a bit of an exageration, its just the noisiest part of the system.

Hello Any recommendations for a quiet alternative to the Corsair GS800? Considering the Nexus RX-8500, put off Zalman because Im not sure if size is compatible with my case (I think psu fan would not align over down-vent on case) thanks

Hi, yes all sorted. The OC profile works perfectly. Not happy with the Corsair GS800 though, very noisy. Will take back to PC world, thinking about a Nexus. Will start another thread on this.

aah, now boots up fine. i put 2 power plugs in gcard (originally only one fine) - need to keep new psu as old only has 1 pci plug......weird. But it works! thanks for you help cheers Mar

hi, just cleared the cmos by taking out battery. tried a new PSU, took the RAM out, tested each individually. Still nothing, think ive run out of options. Anything else?

Hi, I pressed the CMOS button on the back a few times, still no luck. Do i have to press it at a certain time or hold it? cant find how to reset cmos in the manual thank Mark

OK, thanks Andy I'll try this. Will also buy a PSU from the useless PCWORLD people over the road from me, just in case. Hope I havent fried my gcard during installation........

Hi Yes, it does have a switch for the 12V, I tried this (put cpu and gcard on diff rails) - no luck. If I reset the CMOS dont I invalidate my Warranty from OC as its an overclocked bundle? Mark

Aah, thanks for fast reply. The PSU worked fine on my core2duo @3ghz with same gcard, do these new cpus really need that much more power?! What PSU wattage would you recommend? thanks Mark

Hi I just bought the following from overclockers: Krypton Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle - Gigabyte Put it all together with a Geforce GTX 260 Old Tagan TG580 PSU (580W) Turn it on this happens: Fans go Fans turn off System beeps once and hangs, fans keep...

Cool, thanks for your fast reply!

Hi I would like to buy: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 10000RPM SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD3000GLFS) My mboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi (Socket 775) It has SATA but I'm not sure if this is SATA-II. thanks!!

Thanks for the fast reply, a cheap new PC does sound like a better option. How about the Sound Blaster Audigy, is that worth using? Also, how do I know if a gcard supports x.264/mpeg4 playback? Looking around at the OC website isnt that clear. Are these the only formats that I'll need to...

Hi I have an old PC lying around and thought about buying a new HD, blue-ray drive (eventually) and building a multimedia PC (for use with Panasonic 42-PZ70B). I will want to run 1080p movie files of all different formats, is this possible with the components below? MSI K8T...

great, thanks for the info

Hi I've just upgraded to core duo. I thought about turning my old PC into a multimedia PC. THe mboard is an MSI K8T NEO http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=496 It has SATA but not SATA II. Can I use a new SATA II hard drive? thanks
