    Help with beeping noice from PC - NOT a beep code!

    Hi all, I'm at my wits end with this one. My PC is making a beeping noise. Nothing unusual there, I hear you say, BIOS beep codes are common. But, this is weird because I don't have a speaker on my motherboard. Every three minutes it makes ten very very faint beeps, each beep lasts for...

    Added some much needed storage to my home office / games room!

    Hi all, Thought it was about time I updated the games room / home office with some storage areas as it's been a bit bare since we moved in. So I popped down to Ikea, grabbed a couple of 4x1 Kallax units (used to be called Expedit) in oak finish to match the Ikea Malm desks, and bish bash bosh...

    Hi all, Speccing up a client build and I've hit a conundrum - do I go for Z170 i7-6700K or X99 i7-5930K? He wants two Fury X cards and will be using the rig primarily for gaming on the Acer 34" curved Freesync monitor. We will also be fitting an M.2 SSD. Speeds wise, both CPUs will be at...

    Air 540 with dual 280mm rads in push pull

    Hi all, Could anyone confirm if it's possible to mount two 280mm radiators in the Air 540 in push/pull? I'm certain a 60mm can mount at the front in push/pull if the outer fans are fitted outside the chassis behind the outer mesh, but I'm unsure about the top. Does anyone have a definite top...

    Hi all, Trying to find out if a MSI GTX980 Twin Frozr card will fit in the Air 240, the card height is given at 143mm but I remember TTL saying in his review that some of the bigger coolers just won't fit - is there a definitive answer on GPU height as info on t'intertubes is confusing.

    £600 build - any changes?

    Hi all, Friend has asked me to build him a gaming rig for Xmas, budget is £600 and not a penny more, already has peripherals and single 1080p monitor. He's an Intel / Nvidia fan so that rules out any AMD kit. I'll be applying an aggressive OC to the CPU to gain any free performance I can...
