    Corsair H60 on AM3

    Cheers mate. Upped my Vcore by 0.025V and that seems to have done the trick. :)

    Corsair H60 on AM3

    The situation seems to have improved somewhat. By pulling in air from outside the case through the rad and using fresh paste, the temp only goes up to 47C while running the blended test. However, after running the test for about 5 minutes, the PC rebooted (no BSOD). Can overclocks become...

    Corsair H60 on AM3

    I recently replaced my Titan Fenrir heatsink with a Corsair H60 due to the annoying noise the fan on the Fenrir heatsink made. (Replacing the fan didn't help, the fan itself was vibrating against the heatsink and whatever I tried to dampen the vibrations it didn't help). My CPU is a Phenom x4...

    Hanns.G HZ281 monitor OSD problem

    I sent it back and obtained a refund in the end. Sometimes it seemed like it started to work properly, but then the problem will crop up again. I could've asked for a replacement instead, but the UK support number (Hann.G outsource this to Repairtech in the UK) did not connect when I tried to...

    Hanns.G HZ281 monitor OSD problem

    Oops, spoke too soon. The OSD has stopped appearing again. Time to RMA I think...

    Hanns.G HZ281 monitor OSD problem

    After your great suggestion, I was pressing the menu button repeatedly and I could see the OSD menu briefly appearing & disappearing. Then, as it something became "unstuck", the menu comes up normally when I press the button. Very strange, but guess I have to count myself lucky I didn't send...

    Hanns.G HZ281 monitor OSD problem

    I recently bought the Hanns.G 28" HZ281 monitor and it is a lovely monitor - huge with pretty good colours (although compared to my old Samsung, the blacks aren't as black). Having a problem getting the OSD menu to appear though. Pressing the menu button doesn't work and as far as I can tell...

    Does Windows 7 on SSD speed up other apps?

    Cheers, that's the kind of answer I've been after. I'll probably just get the 64GB C300 as I can't splash out 500 pounds for a 256GB to fit all my apps & games on.

    Does Windows 7 on SSD speed up other apps?

    @Craigsup Yes, I can imagine your games on SSD will be fast, but really my question is regards games performance comparison given the two setups below: a. Windows & Games on HDD b. Windows on SSD, Games on HDD I suppose having your page file on the SSD will offer a performance boost...

    Does Windows 7 on SSD speed up other apps?

    I've got a specific query for which I haven't been able to find an answer for yet using Google so was wondering if there's anyone here with first-hand experience who can help. I'm planning on buying the 64GB C300 SSD to act as my Windows 7 drive (and squeeze on Office there as well) and use...

    Replacement cooler for Titan Fenrir to free up RAM slots

    Could I have suggestions on a CPU cooler I can replace the Titan Fenrir? It blocks two RAM slots and I'd like to expand to 8 GB memory.

    Question about Coolermaster HAF 922 Fans

    That's a good idea, though I've only got one 8800 gt card in there so heat isn't an issue. When I upgrade, something to think about though. :) Even without any side fans, I can feel quite a strong current on the side from all the air getting pulled in by the rear and top fans. I stuck some...

    Question about Coolermaster HAF 922 Fans

    I was thinking about the noise, but now that I've installed my PC in the case and have it running, it's very quiet anyway so I've decided to keep all the fans running as you said. It is a fantastic case, my CPU temp has dropped by 5 degrees in the HAF. :)

    Question about Coolermaster HAF 922 Fans

    I'm due to receive my HAF 922 case tomorrow (can't wait!) and I have a question about the fans on the case, specifically the two in the upper corner of the case, one blowing out the rear, one blowing out the top. I use a Titan Fenrir heatsink and the fan on this will blow air through the heat...

    How to tackle "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor..." BSOD

    I've read the FAQ and I'm not sure which rule(s) you think I'm breaking. P.S. Oh, you mean the 4 lines of text limit I guess. Thanks for pointing that out.

    How to tackle "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor..." BSOD

    I've had my setup running well for the past several months now (see my signature, will add voltages when I get home), but while playing Dragon Age: Origins, I got a BSOD with the "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval". This is the...

    Phenom 955 high temps at stock

    I usually put a small dab of thermal compound on the chip and then use a card to evenly spread it into a thin coating on the surface of the chip. This'll ensure there's a good contact between the chip & heatsink on all the available area. If you just put a dab and then clamp the heatsink on...

    How long are the oc'd nudles tested for?

    Going by my experience, I'd check the BIOS settings once you get the bundle to make sure it doesn't have any wacky settings. Luckily the bundle was on special offer so it was around the same price as if I'd bought the components separately, but I definitely wouldn't pay a premium for a shoddy...

    OC Bundle AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Overclocked Properly?

    After taking all your advice, I redid the overclock to the following: CPU multiplier x18 (3.6Ghz) FSB 200MHz PCI-E 100MHz NB 2000 MHz (stock) HT 2000 MHz (stock) Voltages all normal settings Memory set by SPD It's running stable now with no voltages increases required :). I'm going to now try...
