Hey guys. I remember reading a few months ago that Sandy Bridge chips are meant to come out Q4 this year. Has anyone got any info on them? Cheers.

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. So I'm about to buy a 3d ready tv, and I was thinking, would it not be sweet if I could watch stuff in 3D too- as well as the tv being 3 d "ready"! I haven't done a htpc build before, but it needs to be silent. So, I am looking for help, in buying a case...

Hey, So my mobo - ASUS Maximus Extreme - does not set the voltages to what it ought to be when i set them manually in the BIOS- But, there seems to be a pattern - For instance, with the DRAM voltage - whatever I set the voltage to, the actual voltage will be 0.08V higher. This applies for...

Low scores from 3D MarkVantage, despite OC'd 4890s in Xfire? GPU-Z, CPU-Z, and 3D scores attached.

Hey guys - So I have two ATI 4890s set up in x-fire in my system, and I am happy with the quality they deliver (to say the least). I was a little frustrated that I could not water cool them when I got them as I realised they weren't reference cards, but they still oc' averagely well. Was...

Hey guys, I just set up my X-fire 4890s, but I'm getting some high differences in temp from them. The top one is 48 celsius @stock @100% fans The bottom is 39/40 celsius @stock @100% fans I understand that there is restricted air flow between them - there is only one PCI slot between my two...

Hey, I normally use AS5, and I use their "ArctiClean" products to prep the surface on the chip and block. But with MX-3, I can't really find any instructions anywhere on the best way to apply the paste. Furthermore, a lot of people have been saying it doesn't spread easily. I'm not really sure...

Hey, I am thinking of upgrading my current HDD setup. I have read a couple of threads and as I understand it, the best drives are between the OCZ Vertex and the newish Intel drives. I have seen a couple of drives that offer 6GB/s SATA III connection. Do these have much advantage over the SATA...

Hey, So I was waiting for parts so I could install my brand new graphics card. I was really bored. I decided to take it apart, and I now have some ideas for modding its casing. Card: I'm thinking about colour changes and perhaps a nice cut in the casing somewhere. Taken apart: UPDATE...

Hey, So I'm looking to upgrade my current watercooled set up. Basically I have at the moment: PUMP -> EK Supreme -> 120mm TFC Rad -> 5.25" Bay Resevoir I am thinking about getting a 3.120 rad, but not sure which is the best: have you guys got reviews/ideas? I just want one rad for my CPU...

Hey, So I have a Laing Pump (18W) etc etc. but it vibrates so much.Thinking of getting a second one and... I've seen a few dampers on the market, but I was wandering if you guys have any recommendations? http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/cat/Pump-Accessories_75.html...

Hey, So I've seen these before, and some of them look pretty cool, but how good are they in terms of CFM/cooling? I have a water cooled setup, and am thinking of changing rad + fan. Currently have some rubbish 120mm rad and fan. Has anyone used these before? Noisy? Just look good and are...
