    Yeah, you can buy the cooler separately and it will look slightly different It would be nice to be able to just buy a gtx480 thats cool and quiet, without ever having to even open it up at. Plus you know they should have decent headroom for OC'ing and come with a 5 year warranty. I think...

    I'm actually curious myself to see if there are any particular guidelines for a getting a comfortable chair :P But TBH though, I think the best way would be to find a place with chairs within your budget, and test them

    Whilst that is an option, I would say that having the opportunity to start out with a faster drive and fresh install would be the better choice ;)

    What Is The Best Gaming CPU?

    I recently built an i5 gaming rig as my first rig and I have to say it is amazing. Seeing as it only supports dual channel DDR3, this ram is ideal as its an absolute bargain and performs brilliantly. With the money you save on getting an i5 an that ram, you can afford to buy a better GPU which...

    ***The Official Core i5 Overclocking Thread***

    I love it, it only took about 10 mins to put together and it took a legit 18c off temps. My new PSU will arrive today so be ready for a better overclock ;)

    Which Thermal Compound to get?

    I honestly had the best temps using the paste that came with my noctua heatsink. For me, it was slightly better than the MX-3

    Help Overclocking I5 750

    Yeh, the voltage is probably what is causing it to fail. Try going for around 1.25v, thats actually still pretty low voltage so there shouldn't be any harm in that ;)

    How can I get accurate temperature readings?

    Ive been looking into it a little and I wondered if there is a fairly conclusive way to get more exact readings for my intel i5? The temps reported by in the BIOS are a bit higher than what real temp reports, so is there anything I can do to get a better reading?

    Corsair H50, are additional fans better?

    I actually had a similar problem with using a HD 5870, as it sat directly underneath and put all its warm rising air directly in the path of it.

    Corsair H50, are additional fans better?

    I purchased two noctua NF-P14 fans that I put on my H50 and it seems to work pretty well. I too have an i5 750 but I can't honestly remember the temps before, so I can't really say if it made a huge difference although I know there was some change.
