Hi guys, Quick check please. My normal build. PC powers up, fans spin and motherboard lights light up. Video card fan spins. Monitor doesn't power on. Mouse doesn't power on. (Can't tell with keyboard.) Hard drive activity light on case doesn't come on. I also can't hear the C drive spinning...

Hi guys, I'll be putting together a PC soon based on the Z77 platform and 3770K. My priority with this build is to get the best out of Sonar X2 ( Digital Audio Workstation) so I can play around and make some music. I don't expect to overclock. I'll be getting 32gigs of RAM. Q. Should I go...

Hi, Is the Stryker nice and quiet? I like the look of it and need a quiet case. I'll be replacing the very quiet RV02. (I'll be aircooling) update - 13-04-13 I assume it's very loud then?

I hope Tiny Tom reviews these new single tower CPU coolers from Noctua. http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=news_list&news_id=85&lng=en Images - Tom's Hardware While I have the NH-D14 on my old rig, I might consider a Noctua single tower on my new rig, to accommodate taller ram, and keep the...

Hi guys. What's the fatest gaming RAM you recommend to fit underneath the NH D-14? I will be overclocking, but on air (NH D-14). Thanks for any heads up.

Hi, What 1155 motherboard do you guys recommend for 2 Sapphire HD7970s and an audio card? The reason I ask is that some non-reference video cards' cooling shrouds intrude over a third slot slightly. (I'm not sure if the Sapphire HD7970s do.) I was considering the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 and still...

I'm planning on a new build in the next few months. I don't expect to overclock, although I do really like the idea of having the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7. (I know it's overkill.) I'm assuming that because I don't plan on overclocking I should just go ahead with 1600 RAM? I'll probably go with about...

Hi everyone. Soon I'll be looking to build another PC so that I can give my current one to my ex-wife, as hers (one of my previous builds) is struggling nowadays. I'm coming from an Asus P6T Deluxe V2, i7-930 and HD5870 - rundown here. I need to be brought up to speed please. Looking for a...

I recommend watching this video. You might learn something. It might even change you. Peace dudes. (I'm still subscribed and watching your vids Tom.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es6U00LMmC4

Hi Guys. If you want to try out your new speakers or just chill out to some pretty cool music - then get to know Robin Skouteris (RobinSK). His YouTube Link His Facebook Page You can download his albums from here. Or a link in my sig. I made a page on my site too. Don't laugh - it's just a...

Hi guys. Where do you mount your temperature sensors inside your rig? I'm on an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with Noctua NH D-14, 5870 and 3 hard drives. My case is an RV02 with air going straight up. My fan controller is a Scythe Kaze Master Pro which has 6 temperature sensors. I've had this rig for...

Hi guys. Sorry for the typical noob overclocking intro. I've followed another thread on another forum and clocked the above to 3.6 before which was the first part of an i7-920 overclocking tutorial. I still kept a couple of Asus or Intel bios options enabled which meant that the rig stayed...

Hi guys. I'm Grant - from the UK but living in Japan. I subscribe to Tom's videos on Youtube and visit this site too for ideas etc. The reason I'm joining is, to be honest, I was hoping for a reliable overclocking guide for the i7-930. I've googled and read a couple of guides and then read...
