    *** The OcUK Ultima 10.1 Thread ***

    I still use mine occasionally, only really for a bit of basic web browsing as it seems to struggle otherwise. Mine is just factory reset (but rooted) then various updates but nothing new OS wise. I was a bit disappointed with OCUK on this one as they said it would be supported and there's been...

    *** The OcUK Ultima 10.1 Thread ***

    I think the main problem for the apps that can't be moved is the partition sizes of the '8GB' internal memory. There's actually about 10 different partitions but this image shows the main ones: The 'system' ~512mb is where the unmoveable apps get installed (or data I've forgotten right...

    MSI: *Offical* N460GTX Hawk 1GB OC Edition thread

    Well on the plus side my new Hawk seems to run cooler than the previous. Only hits 48°C whilst playing COD Black Ops, which doesn't appear to push the card very hard. Got it up to 64°C using OCCT under standard clocks/fan profile. I'm yet to try max clocks or any other tweaking. Anyone else...

    MSI: *Offical* N460GTX Hawk 1GB OC Edition thread

    Yes, I think I'll be leaving those alone then. I should probably not look at the prices of something after I've bought one. Hopefully the new one will clock better *fingers crossed*. :)

    MSI: *Offical* N460GTX Hawk 1GB OC Edition thread

    Wish I waited the couple weeks longer. Paid £180 and then it died on me mid game. No post with it installed. I'm just waiting on the replacement being sent now, would be nice if they sent the Talon Attack instead as that is now the same price. Meh... Has anyone else noticed the 2 'dip' switch...

    MSI: *Offical* N460GTX Hawk 1GB OC Edition thread

    I've read somewhere that the card's port is V1.4 so it should work. I've seen right angle adaptors for full size HDMI, you might be able to find ones for mini HDMI somewhere. Or maybe a mini HDMI version of this with a mini > full size on the TV/monitor end...

    MSI: *Offical* N460GTX Hawk 1GB OC Edition thread

    Does everyone else's fan max out in terms of RPM at around 82% in AfterBurner? Mine does. To be totally clear, my RPM readings fluctuate between 4620/50/80 at 82% all the way up to 100% fan speed.

    Corsair 750HXUK PSU

    I received and installed the HX750 yesterday. It is auto switching and also interestingly the manual shows higher efficiency from the 240v supply as oppose to the 110v. Nice to know.

    Motherboard Temperature sensors.

    Try a program called Everest. It tells me what each of mine are. You can probably ignore TMPIN4. It's likely there's no actual sensor there.

    Upgrade or new build?

    I'd also go with an HD5850 1GB, Corsair PSU (probably Corsair TX 650W @ £81), and CPU cooler if you're still on stock.

    Budget Gaming Rig

    I can't see that OCUK do less than 4GB kits of DDR3. Also their DDR2 range is quite limited now. You might be best looking for some second hand parts.

    Upgrade or new build?

    As CAT says really. There's plenty of life in that CPU if you've got decent cooling and overclocking options on that board. The graphics card is the main thing to hold you back whilst gaming here. What games do you play?

    Budget Gaming Rig

    I was looking at similar to the above, if you've already got some DDR2 that is useable it's a bonus. If not you'll need to look at a different GFX card really. -EDIT- Just spec'd up a Celeron for lolz: Club 3D ATI Radeon HD 5770 512MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £112.99 Corsair...

    Budget Gaming Rig

    How about RAM, what do you currently have? So we're looking for Mobo, GFX card (5750 or 5770), probably RAM, CPU, CPU cooler if you're wanting to overclock, if not then stock cooler.

    data recovery from old HDD's

    That's useful. I knew it needed some sort of circuitry but hadn't seen them that simply. Might get one myself. :cool:
