ok thanks.. wow, nothing is going my way today.. broken cpu fan, baking hot room, and a phillips screwdriver that is nowhere to be found.. :eek:

oh, i managed to tug them out and pull the new ones in.. just need to install the graphics card.. just a quick question, the wires for the cpu cooler, there is a sort of case around the wire, don't know how to explain it, feels like rubber.. anyway, at the base of where it connects to the...

unfortunately, i dont know what you're talking about :p the rubber pin is wider on both sides of the hole, so I cant really wedge it out.. even so, how would i get the new ones in after? ;) nvm, yanked them out ;) now, is there any chance any other damage could have been done? can't see...

right, figured out what the problem is. one way or another, the heads for the rubber pins ripped and were stuck in the cpu cooler at the bottom. i've removed these, the only problem now standing in my way is i dont know how to remove the broken rubber pins from the fan so i can replace them with...

new ones? i have spare rubber pins in the motherboard case that came with the machine.. can i not use them?

any chance of an installation without a pdf file? pc can't open them for some reason... pretty much, should all four rubber pins be the same shape? i think the bottom two have ripped at the top... all i need to do is replace these, fit it back onto the front and that is that? everything...

I don't really know how to clip it back on, and some of the metal grills at the bottom of the cpu cooler are bent... im well disappointed...:(

hey all, i was wondering if anyone here could help me because i've been trying to get this sorted out for a while.. anyway, i've been trying to put my ps3 in a DMZ to stop this pesky nat type 3 problem stopping me from going online properly. i've assigned the ps3 a static ip address, gone...

UPDATE: right, after all of the problems, phoned up ocUK customer support on saturday, and the motherboard wouldn't accept the profile settings saved for the bios, so the machine was picked up on monday. Arrived there on tuesday, and i've now gotten my machine back today. now, here's my...

oh no, im not blaming overclockers at all for this because i know that it is a top notch machine.. better value for money than any other company i've seen.. (pc i bought was a better spec than a 1600 pound alienware pc) i've just never had much luck with computers before, they always seem to...

oh ok, cheers for the advice.. i'll definitely get in touch with ocUK tomorrow and find out what can be done about it.. if the problem is caused by a loose heatsink like you said, would securing it cause my cpu to go back to its original overclock of 4.2 GHz? after the initial problems, the...

what does RMA mean? sorry for the probably stupid question... also further update, my overclock is gone.. was running at 4.2 GHz, but its now running at the stock i3 speed.. i get this speed when checking through dxdiag and through steam aswell... real shame because i've heard such good...

edited my last post with an update, the problem was the fact that it would start up but switch itself off again, but after managing to get the machine to reboot properly, the machine would no longer register through my DVI cable to the monitor. after powering down everything and starting back...

well, the fact of the problem is that I actually have no idea what you just said lol.. don't understand things to do with bios etc very well, so think I should just get in touch with customer service... I'm extremely disappointed because it looked an amazing bit of kit and I just got red alert 3...

my recently purchased Titan Xenomorph w/ 5830 graphics upgrade (3 days old) was on standby mode, and on trying to turn it back on, the computer's fans power up, start spinning, and then turn off again, and this just continues to repeat... anyway, I've managed to break this cycle and got the...

wow, that gpu is a much higher spec than anything i had imagined.. didnt think that build could be achieved in the budget... what about a cpu cooler though? want the machine to run relatively cool, is the water cooler in the original post good or am i going to end up burning the new pc to ashes? :p

ah, probably should have included this in the original post lol... £650 budget is solely for the tower, monitor and OS will come after, so its not included in the budget cheers :)

Just like the title says, im attempting my first personal build at home. budget is around £650, looking at a fast processor with a good graphics card for some games, 4gb ram, etc, and pretty new tech hopefully (i3, i5) im going to most likely be using the guide of this forum to build the pc...

sorry if i wasn't clear enough, im lookin gto get 4gb of ram (2x2) and need some help picking some out (the link for the ram im thinking of is in my last post) my specs will be: q6600 4850 or 4870 (still undecided) i think its a p45 motherboard windows vista 64bit and a 650w psu...

im looking to get 4gb of ddr2 memory for my new pc build but i don't really know a lot about ram so hoping some people off of this forum can give me some advice.. at the moment, this is the ram im looking towards: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-114-OC&tool=3...
