All, Thanks for the input. Ryan - I followed the instructions and yes i put it in the blue ones, however i tired the white ones in despration too! I guess its taking it out of the case time. it took me agest to get it in as well. Looking at this grounding issue, i put originally the...

Thanks RJC, I will go through it step by step. I have the square power connector (next to the main board power) and the other square one nearer the cpu also connected. Its going to be a pain without beeps, how can i diagnose if i need to send it back i just get no output so it could be...

I can't actually tell i dont have a speaker LED connector thing with this case as far as i can see, i have AC97 and HD audio headers though? I get no signal and no beeps. but the start button and reset button are illuminated.

Hi all, I ordered all my new bits yesterday and have put them intogether but i'm not getting any beeps (does something need to be connected to get beeps i could have missed?) My setup is; Retail 17 920 Rampage II Gene 6gb of OCZ Gold memory Sapphire ATI 4670 Antec Fusion HTPC case...

Thanks icy, i originally had a UD3R but ATX cases aren't very space efficient! Iwill replace, thanks very much. I now need to make sure i can fit a proper cooler in it!

ops! 1366 (tri channel) I bought the ram and want to make the most of it so that kind of rules out 1156. But i can be open to persuasion.

Does anyone know of a motherboard (which is reliable first and foremost) that can fit into a Mini or micro ATX case. The reason for this is that i'd like to use my i7 setup which i've bought in the living room and the nice lookign cases which would fit are all MATX (mini or micro) Any help...

Good shout audio, has HDMI which is important obviously. As games aren't the primary function this looks like it will work well.

Ah, thanks kempster for the input. I will check the components i have put on my 'wish list'. I've never used SFDIF before, i dont think i know what it is, i only have a 2.1 sound setup at present so would this be important to have?

Ah, I guess OCUK sign agreements with just one courier to try and get it cheaper? Though it is common to get a royal mail option and a courier option. I remember reading OCUK releasing a statement and giving members a vote on how which courier they should choose but this is going back a long time.

Delviery to northern ireland from england must cost considerably more than say a delviery to london though?

looking forward to the map packs aswell. Though has anyone noticed the map sequence seems to only rotate, derail, rundown and sub base on mercenary TDM. I HATE SUB BASE!

lol i like finding nuke boosters, sneak up with invis class and attach a semtex to one of them. They huddle toether for warmth, then BOOM!

Hi all, just a few questions really for the media bugs out there. I've been gradually building a new pc (small one) thinking of using an HTPC case which fits ATX motherboards. The main purpose i will use it for is to stream things such as catchup tv from the internet (our freeview...

oh that is a long time. maybe i had the follow up to it, im sure it was KT7, i have a northwood chip on it, p42.4 HT. I dont feel so bad for upgrading now tho, a 10yr life span is about 20 generations in computer lives!

I am still running my KT7A, there's nothing 'in the past' about that board! However i am building a new computer after having it for the best part of what, 7years? Can't remember when it came out. My i7 920 with SSD and 6gb of tri channel ram is going to feel rather sweet.

The OCZ Gold was the memory used by them in their forum promotion, perhaps they have sold out and discontinued the product now.

72c! I'll do some reading about the OC side, i have overclocked before i think the processor i have no i dabbled with 'back in the day' when it was new and it went ok. Got stuck on the memory side of things, dont knwo whether it was the timings i used or the power i didn't but it didnt like it...

Thanks for your responses. I'm happy with the memory and as you say using 2 would give me more flexibility but i think i may aswell get the hardware it was designed to work for. Cost isn't that much of an issue its being fit for purpose that i've somewhat over spec'd. Read the reviews on the...

Hi all, hope someone can help me with some suggestions of where to go with a few components. I had a p4 Northwood so its been a while since i have been in the technical world of processors! about 6years! With OCuk's offers last week i bought a SSD hard drive as i've been following these...
