    Intel Price hike

    I have been promising myself a new PC once I had decorated a few rooms at home, I did have an 8400 in mind but the prices have almost doubled these past few weeks and even though I'm not quite ready to build I've bought a Ryzen 2600 for £142, great value compared to the Intel range and I can...

    what mobo to buy 2morrow?, Z68 vs P67

    Looking at the picture I would think the clearance offered by my 6850 cooler shroud should be OK but as Speed says I really need to find someone running the same setup to be sure. Either that or go for the Gigabyte UD4...

    what mobo to buy 2morrow?, Z68 vs P67

    Glad I have been following this thread, I had pretty much decided on a GD53 because it offers everything I need at a good price BUT I have been running a pair of Asus 6850 CU's in my old mobo, can I expect issues with the front panel headers with these cards?:confused:

    Sniper owners who have modded the mesh side panel...

    This case is great BUT I want to tweak the side a little. Has anyone tried removing the metal ribs that sit behind the mesh? I can't decide if these act solely as fan mounts or are there to aid rigidity? Ideally I would like to remove the ribs and the dust filter and replace with some blue...

    EVGA GTX260 SSC very hot

    Installed the EVGA precision app and ran a few games last night. Card idles at 40 and rises to about 65 under load which seems the norm judging by other people experiances. Not touched any fan or clock settings yet

    EVGA GTX260 SSC very hot

Just built a new i7 system around one of these and the first time I tried to run a game, Far cry 2, the game had a major crash after about 2 mins, the kind...

It feels very hot to the touch. After a few years of ATi cards I'm not sure whats the norm with these things. Is there any...

    E4300 weirdness (but in a good way)

    Same thing happened to me. Bought a P5B-E and 4300, booted up and the mobo ran at 266 FSB. This was due to the bios not recognising the CPU (the 4300 being the newest C2D). After bios flash it now defaults to 200 FSB.

    4300 Overclocking for dumbass

    Is there anywhere I can compare Super Pi times? At 9x266 2.GHz with memory running 1:1 1M Pi takes 25.132 but I need some comparisons and goals for my clocking exploits :D

    4300 Overclocking for dumbass

    Thats me btw with my Asus P5B-e and 4300 I dont understand some things. Can anyone tell me why my 4300 will do 9x266=2394 with memory set at 533Mhz and yet when I try 6x400 =2400 it wont even boot into windows? Memory is Corsair PC6400. I have a feeling its the strap thingy. At 400 FSB the...

    Unbelievable frustrating problem need ideas

    No USB modules running, just the standard ports on the back of the mobo. SP2 was running great before. With regards the HDD, as the chipset supports SATA I didn't think I needed drivers? Either way it was working for 12 months as it was. Many thanks for the suggestions :)

    Unbelievable frustrating problem need ideas

    Temps are fine and the system has been rock solid for over a year. I always presumed memtest would pick up on any memory errors but it has to be CPU or Memory related. I will concentrate on those 2 for the time being. I am sure most enthusiasts have been in this position at some time or other...

    Unbelievable frustrating problem need ideas

    After messing with PC's for many years I have come up against a problem I simply cant solve. Started with random reboots. When it didn't reboot the mouse froze on the windows login screen. Tried a PS2 mouse and the reboots and mouse feezes remained. Upon reboot windows reported a GPU driver...

    BIOS corruption, HDD failure

    My PC reboots almost randomly, although a sure trigger is to click the windows start button :confused: . I have narrowed the fault down to either the mobo or HDD. Gonna try a bios flash tonight. Just wondering if it is possible for a BIOS to become corrupt? Also was wondering if a faulty HDD...
