    IC-Diamond GIVEAWAY Thread!

    Trust sent. Cheers. Hopefully will be able to test this bad boy on the new rig. Also, the laptop is getting super toasty as of late.

    Need some advice on a new build

    Gotcha. Thank you so much for your help by the way. Had another thought; I'm willing to pay a bit more on the graphics end if it means I will get a sizeable increase. Possibly looking at the 290. It's about £60 more but I can go that far if you think it's a noticeable difference.

    Need some advice on a new build

    OK seems like I'm going to go for the air cooler then. Reviews are great for it. Yeah I had the look at the 300R, not quite for me. I suppose you're right, I can always get a better case later when the budget is appropriate. Do you recommend any other cases for that price range? Or is the...

    Need some advice on a new build

    This is great, thanks. Couple of questions though. Do you recommend the Bitfenix over a Corsair case then? I don't need any hard drives so I guess that would allow a bit more for the case. So even though I'm overclocking you still think the air cooler would be better?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, will be overclocking for sure. Yeah, I'm going for a blue theme preferably.

    Need some advice on a new build

    Hey everyone, So I'm looking to build my new PC and it's been tough trying to get a good balance going. I have about 800 to spend. I don't need a monitor, speakers, keyboard/mouse, hard drives or a PSU (got the corsair HX1050). Now I've been eyeing the 4670K and 280X, any thoughts? i.e. is...

    Spec me a gaming pc please

    Awesome, looks like it's going to be that then. Any other cases though that may be as good noise wise? I'm not crazy about the look to be honest. Prefer a more brushed metal. Also, do you guys reckon its worth looking at 16gb of RAM? Or is it not really worth the increase in price?

    Spec me a gaming pc please

    Awesome builds, thanks guys. So you both reckon the 7950 is definitely worth the increase in price? i.e. is it £80 better than a 7850? I will be buying a second card at some point for crossfire when the games will require it so I don't know if that affects what components I get now. As for the...

    Spec me a gaming pc please

    I've had a bit of a look at myself and deciding between the 7850, 7870 and 7950. Any thoughts? I've also had some recommendations for cases; fractal seems to be quite popular. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Spec me a gaming pc please

    Looking to build my new rig very soon. Budget is around 600 (I have monitors, optical drives and hard drives) but can push to 700 if the components warrant the increase. I will be gaming mostly on it; running a dual monitor setup (32inch 1080p and a 24inch 1920). I do want a GOOD case though...

    Project: Aquasidian (Corsair 800D)

    Thanks a lot mate what do you mean by d'tek modified pump? I saw the pictures but I thought you were using the mcp655? so the outside diameter on your fittings is 3/4''? sorry to be asking so many questions, but your system is just spectacular

    Project: Aquasidian (Corsair 800D)

    amazing build mate, absolutely stunning sorry to be a pain, but can you list how many fittings you used? and say the outer diameter of your tubing? I'm basically building the exact same system, although I may go with the 5970 also, what monitors are you looking to run on that bad boy?

    World Cup 2010 - GROUP C (England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia) **spoilers**

    The problem with Walcott is that he has no footballing brain, he makes the wrong decision about 95% of the time (reminds me a bit of Nani in his first season at United) he just runs head down and sometimes he just seems shocked he's gone as far as he has up the pitch and ends up putting in a...
