Hi, I've recently RMA'd my MSI 7950 due to a common fan speed problem, caused by a leaky diode. The fans would run at full speed when not needed to. I now have a dilemma; do I plump for an identical card, go for a different brand of 7950 or leap back to a comparable NVidia card? I have a £300...

Hiya, I've a newly assembled rig, based on a Z77 MPower MB with an air cooled 3770K and 4 x 4Gb of LP Corsair Vengance 2133 ram. On first boot, everything seemed OK and I was happy to see the new snazzy BIOS welcome screen. While explaining how things worked to my lad, I noticed that the XMP of...

Good evening everyone! I've been a member for quite a few years now, but for one reason or another (mainly kids and work), I had neither the time or money to continue with the hobby we all love. Well, that's sort of changed, mostly in favour of rig building. Three months ago, I had surgery for...

I know a few of us have 360's. I was wondering if NE1 has the full ver of Dead Rising or Splinter Cell Double agent? Tried D.R. demo and soon got bored of chopping up zombies. Is the full ver more interesting? Just tried Multiplayer S.C.D.A and found it a bit choppy and also a bit...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help as I'm not sure if my new GeIL PC6400 sticks make the grade. I have them set at stock, 800MHz, 2.1V, 4-4-4-12-4 timings. When I stress them with Memtest(Windows), I get 1 error although Memtest86(Dos) shows no errors. I think they are right on the edge sinse...

My head's spinning. Just give me two cases to choose from; one black and one silver, then it would be easy :( Anyway, I'm trying to choose a new case and although I don't really have a budget, I was looking around <=£120. I may add water later but I was interested in seeing a Water V Air...

Just bought some GeIL 6400 DDR2 and thought, what the hell, your bashing the credit card anyway, so decided to try out one of the cheap widescreen monitors available. This Hanns.G 19" was a shade over £120 and comes with DVI and analog inputs. Its native res is 1440 x 900 and it has a listed...

Is it just me? The member list says I don't have permission, and so does clicking on the user link for "View my rig specs".:( I get a message box stating that I "do not have permission to access this page". I seem to be able to post OK. Are these blocked from newbies? I tried emailing...

Hi Guys (and possibly gals?), I'm trying to nail down which DDR2 to go with my new duo 6600. Just noticed that overclockers are doing a special this week on GeIL 6400 4-4-4-12 @ £110 + VAT. It's cheaper than the GSkill but I'm afraid I'm a bit out of touch with who's who in the world of...
