I'm in the market for a new gaming headset. I've currently got a Sennheiser GAME ONE which sounds great, as does the microphone, but I get a headache every single time I wear it. I think it's because it's too heavy. Although it's really padded, it constantly slides down and rests on top of my...

Hi everyone, Thank you for your replies. We swapped out the RAM for some DIMMs that I knew were ok, and since then we haven't had a single crash, so I'm assuming it was faulty memory and marking this as solved. Cheers!

Machine: Modern gaming-standard computer OS: Windows 10 A couple of weeks ago we bought some new RAM to expand from 8gb to 16gb. Soon after, the computer started getting BSODs (unfortuantely at this stage I can't remember the errors). Firefox was crashing every few minutes (only thing I can...

Hi guys, My girlfriend is looking for a new laptop which is *capable* of playing games, but we're not looking for a gaming laptop like Alienware. She has a gaming desktop, this is for travelling and being able to play games with me. She likes the look of Acers, and never wants an HP again...

Installed these on my W10 that I reformatted yesterday. After installing the drivers, it booted to a black screen with just a mouse, but after forcing a hard-reset it seems to be working ok.

Just fixed the clicking sound by your suggestion, thanks! It wasn't actually the metal bar the blades were hitting, it was the side of the case, which seems to be at a slight angle. I've put two of the little plastic washers that came with the fan under that side and it's solved :) Going to try...

Yeah.. I own one, just can't work out how to fit it. What have you screwed it in to?

Possibly. Any ideas for changing the stock side fan for the same Bitfenix one? The stock fan has threads built into it for the screws, but the bitfenix fan just has tubes to hold the long screws; the case window and the airflow director are just sheets so there's nothing to screw it in to.

Yeah, tried that - they're pretty stiff, and it's an awkward angle when you're inside the case. It's only the rear one catching. When I get a spare half hour I'll take the top of the case off again and push down on it instead :)

Yes I knew that already - it's the fan blades colliding with something inside the case, which I think I've narrowed down to the strip of metal that runs across the top of the case underneath the fan.

Ran a quick experiment this morning. Booted PC up and it started clicking again - ran AC4 to warm it up and the clicking stopped 6 minutes after boot.

I've had the case for 3 years - it only started doing it a couple of months ago. PC's been on all day and it only did it for a few minutes when I first turned it on.

Just for info for anyone else with the clicking fan problem, replacing the stock fan with the bitfenux one hasn't actually solved the issue - it still clicks for about 5 minutes when I first turn the computer on each time. I think the culprit is actually the strip of metal that goes across the...

Thanks everyone - they arrived today from OCUK and I've installed them both in the top of the case. I see what you mean about it being a tight fit. Here are some photos of the installation so you can see where the difficulties were. You can click on the images to see full res versions. Album...

Yes?

Thank you - I've ordered a couple of bitfenix replacements. Just as well - my machine, and my entire desk are now vibrating ever so slightly as the fan blade I removed has unbalanced everything...

Thanks guys. Nelly - it's about 3 years old so it's out of warranty. The fan that came with the case started catching on the top of the case. I couldn't bend the offending fan blade back into place so I just snapped it off. Problem temporarily solved. I'll pick up some of those bitfenix fans...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend replacement fans for the top of the CoolerMaster HAF-X case? I asked CM on Twitter and they pointed me at their website, but they've been out of stock for over 6 weeks. I'm not fussed about LED, I just want them to do their job well. I'm aware that not all...

Great idea, ordered mine!

Really? Reckon it's worth buying the same card again? Seem to be a hell of a lot of people with the same issue out there.
