Hit me with your knowledge Overlock3rs! If your temps are holding steady and everything appears to be running in their nominal ranges, is there still need to clean your watercooling loop? Granted this might go against popular convention but is it going to cause any real issues that you...

Hi folks, Been having an issue for the past week or so. One of my hard drives seemingly keeps disappearing after start-up, most of the time its there, as normal, but intermittently after start up it is gone altogether (boot time seems rather increased on these occasions.) Generally a restart...

Hi guys, Had my rig adrift for periodic cleaning (coolant change etc), and when I've came to reboot my computer it will not boot. I began trouble shooting and discovered when my GPU (Sapphire Radeon HD7970) is not inserted into the PCI-e slot the system boots fine. When it is connected however...

Hi folks, Does anyone have a high end AMD processer with watercooling. And could they tell me their average temps please? A friend has recently started watercooling and has an Amd 8550 fx 8 core watercooled and his temps reading shows it as 9ºc I calimed this was absolutely B-S but hes since...

Hi folks, Can anyone give me a general idea of what the lifespan of & cpu and gpu waterblocks is? When I strip them down to clean should I just be looking to make sure the flow paths have not corroded too much and make a judgement based on that? Or is there a more cut and dry timescale? Im...

Hi guys, My parents are looking at buying a new laptop after their second in a about 2 years bit the dust (they are the laptop destroyers!) and they refuse to let me build them a budget PC, however I'm pretty clueless when it comes to laptop specs, so can anyone help suggest something that...

Hi guys, just a quick one. Does the Diameter of the tubing used in your cooling loop have much baring on the temps you will get. I had previously been using 7/16" ID tubing with barbs on my old loop, but recently changed to 3/8" ID tubing with compression fittings for my most recent one. (and...

Hey guys, Didn't know if this went in the cards section or the display section but here it is anyway. Anyone know if this card supports dual monitor function? If so, how would you go about connecting a second HD screen as it has only one HDMI jack on the back! Cheers.

Hi folks! (First post here so forgive any stupid remarks or out of place comments or general nonsensical statements.) I have never attempted to build a computer before so am not looking too much into overclocking at this moment in time, but i have been scouring forums and websites to compile a...

Hi guys, just thought I would give a quick hello to everyone. I'm new to PC computing (don't hate me lol ) but am in the process of building my first rig, so keep your eyes open for my post on parts compatibility as I need all the help I can get!) hope to interact more in the coming weeks...
