    By the time the 470 will be ready to 'prevail' ATI will have a whole new range of cards for the same price with 50% extra performance. - Shijeer

    Monitor crashing computer?

    While it might -seem- to, monitors are extremely unlikely to -cause- a crash given that they receive info and afaik don't do much in the way of actually interacting two-way with the computer proper. Unless of course you're using some shady driver/software that comes with the monitor, that could...

    spec me a gaming tower - £600

    I was just choosing my own build for him, came back to check up on the thread and realized that I was pretty much going for the same as the above, right down to the mobo, so im just going to +1 with this one mate. Looks great. - Shijeer

    spec me a gaming tower - £600

    whatever you do, do NOT get a 5830. They are rubbish for that price, either 5770 (my recommendation) or stretch for a 5850. - Shijeer

    I want a piece of hardware that is special! Not retarded!

    lol, I bet only a handful on the planet would have a setup like that. Not counting complete submersion rigs ofc. You should overclock the sound card too while you're at it :p - Shijeer

    Windows experience index score?

    To be bluntly honest the whole thing is ********. Hopelessly unreliable and unreasonable, guided by absolutely perverse and completely logically challenged, arcane set of principles. Stick to proper benchies mate, leave the 'experience' index to grandma. - Shijeer

    No signal detected

    Excellent question, note that my post was based on the assumption that it shows as no signal from the very start. If it works for a moment and goes blank at a specific time during the boot its a tad more confusing. - Shijeer

    Can this ‘Bundle’ be underclocked?

    They provide a warranty on the overclocked bundles, I see no problem. Indeed I see no reason to pay the premium on the bundle if you are not going to take full advantage of the overclock. 3.6 you can do almost 100% certain yourself on those chips. However if you still feel like 'playing it safe'...

    No signal detected

    I'd put my money on monitor settings, the only cases where I got similar symptoms as you describe related to the monitor running on the wrong input setting, as in analog vs digital. Try fiddling around with the settings and changing them when connected to the PC, the fact that it works with the...

    Is this guy having delusions?

    Thunderbird, damn... the name alone is worth at least 50 quid :cool: - Shijeer

    Process of elimination.

    Its hard to tell without knowing what exactly seems to be the common, root cause of these 'minor' problems. Best case scenario, it works out or at the very least doesn't deteriorate further, worst case its a foreshadowing of a more serious issue resulting in a refusal to boot at all one day...

    Which to buy?

    5770 no doubt mate, just recently bought mine and its a beauty at that price point, most overclock very admirably as well, cant go wrong here. - Shijeer

    CoolIT ECO A.L.C. and Corsair H50 Comparison / Review

    lol it seems suspiciously desperate of them to link this thread on their official website :p No disrespect intended to you OP of course, keep up the good work, we need more individual reviewers in the market. - Shijeer

    AMD Six Core Prices and Clock Speeds Unearthed

    Interesting... I do hope we get some proper 64 bit info sometime soon. 32 here just seems a bit inappropriate :p - Shijeer

    AMD Six Core Prices and Clock Speeds Unearthed

    An interesting read. To be honest at first I though that the 'turbo mode' would be something of a gimmick and likely to start messing with people's overclocks to the point of becoming a nuisance. But the idea of idling 3 cores if the present app doesn't multithread effectively to drop volt and...

    AMD Six Core Prices and Clock Speeds Unearthed

    Very good point, putting a chip stretched to the limit against something on stock everything and even then not quite making it looks pretty damn decent for the new chip. If an average batch of these babies can get anywhere near the 4 mark I'm sold. Hell, even 3.6 would we pretty sweet. Logic...

    AMD Six Core Prices and Clock Speeds Unearthed

    Getting close :p but ... your voltage O.o are you under water ? I have to admit though, can't comment much on the above due to a lack of familiarity with the that particular prog. But if that dude didn't go horribly wrong somewhere (not far-fetched at all given his posts) I'm going to go out...

    AMD Six Core Prices and Clock Speeds Unearthed

    Well, he's planning to do some prime and 3dmark, but to be perfectly honest we pretty much expected this gen to not blow away the intel offerings outright, no surprise here even if true. The overclock will either make or break the chip, it has to be all about bang-for-buck with this one. If...
