Dunno if any of you guys have this issue, but since building my rig, my computer boots itself up randomly after i have shut it down. Times can vary e.g. shutdown then 5min later starts back up, or, shutdown and an hour later boots up. Any idea what is wrong? I've tried so far: Uninstalling...

Managed to find a few pics of my brothers old rig, setup around 2005. He inspired me to water-cool my rigs and got me into computers. Custom cmos switch made before cmos switches were introduced to the board Specs (If i can remember) Coolermaster ATC-S4000 SX-1 AMD Athlon64 X2...

Not really advice for a new build but more of a case of choosing the best graphics card. Currently using the CPU IGP, until i find a suitable replacement I'm not interested in mega high end cards, since i honestly don't think they are worth it, and only really shines if you use them to the...

Curious, i heard if using Mayhems Coolant specifically the Pastels type.. i assume Nebula Blue is included in this one, it will not work properly with water-cooling setups where you are using a Pump/Res combo, but requires the pump to be separate from the reservoir due to clogging issues Is...

Some pics of my new G70... though far from finished.. hence the cabling.

Feel like a change this year and so i have decided that i will be selling up most parts of my current rig including the case for something a bit smaller and more practical which won't take up much room space. Just wondered will a PA160 with the shroud and a Papst fan (30mm depth) fit at the...

Been reading on XS about timings and i already know that you have to change the ram timings by speed if you hit over 330fsb.. to avoid hitting an FSB wall. I'm currently running my e6600 @ 3.6Ghz prime stable but looking at the ram timings.. they 'look really cr*p' ... 5.6.6.18, i can't seem...

Hey all, All my new Intel stuff has arrived apart from the ram. Just wanted to know, as i'm an AMD man. Can anyone tell me the info on this e6600: INTEL M C ' 05 INTEL R CORE tm 2 DUO 6600 SL9S8 MALAY 2.40GHZ/4M/1 066/06 L623A550 E4 **Notice the 'M', 'C', 'R' and the 'E4' are circled I...

One thing i need to do though is either change my DVDRW for a SATA version of get the smallest IDE cable i can find. The yellow ones DFI provide are rather big as you can see in the pics. I'm leaving the side panels off for the summer as my rooms the hottest in the house and so room temp is...

Pfffttt... Counterstrike Source sucks!!! 1.6 Pwnz!!! :D :p

Right, since i'm going off to the dark side of Intel, i just wanted to know what peoples idle/load and system temps they are getting with their set-ups. Its just a great interest to me :p Also add whether you are using Air, Water or Phase. Cheers

Thought i'd post my own review regarding my brothers new Lian-LiPC-V300 Aluminum Micro ATX Mini Tower Case. When this case arrived, i didn't know what to expect... smaller than a YY cube for sure and very light... as aluminium always is. Packed very well and was shipped via Citylink...

(C&P from another forum) Right... its time for me to start a project which will be my last due to wasting too much money :rolleyes: This rig will be based purely for gaming with the occasional web surfing and university work. Unforunately i don't have all the components i need but thats...

Heard from a few people, ATI will be bringing out another graphics card soon roughly same time as the nVidia 7950GX2 arrives. Anyone got a clue as to what the card is called and specs? Cos' i'm not sure whether to spend my cash on an X1900XT and flash to XTX speeds then wait till the DX10...
