    Which cooler for 7900gs?!

    I can't seem to find any good/quiet coolers for my PCIe EVGA 7900GS (I'm having to move from H2O to air cooling :( ) Can anyone suggest one which would fit?

    Dual PSU starter cable

    Does anyone know anywhere in the UK which sells the y-splitter cable to fire up two PSU's at the same time? I know I could make one, but this is for work so a) I can't be bothered, and b) we'd like the backup of getting it from a retailer Dan

    Can anyone help explain this logfile?!

    I've been having real problems with my AMD 3800+ X2 system (XP SP2). I've stopped overclocking, but the problem persists. My PC often gets to a state where it pauses for about 6-10 seconds. Sometime this happens as often as every 30-60 seconds. Eventually, it locks un completely and requires...

    IDNet Charging for bandwidth use?

    I lost track of my bandwidth usage this month by downloading a couple of large files, and I strayed over 30gb. Simon dropped me a note to let me know, and that was helpful, and I promised I'd calm it for the rest of the month. Now I've received a mail telling me that there's a charge of £1/gb...

    IDnet problems

    Anyone else found their IDnet connections at a crawl today? I can't get more than 16K/s out of my IDnet ADSLMax line - normally 160K/s ! :eek:

    Great news for Waterchill users wanting to upgrade !

    Just wanted to get this 'on the record' - I used to Waterchill my Radeon 9800XT with the standard GPU block. Then when I went PCIE I moved to a BFG7800GT OC and there wasn't a lot of information around about whether the block would fit on... Sure enough, when I took the HS&F off, it had tiny...

    Problems with your 7900gt's ?

    I'm looking at getting a 7900gt, but I've been a bit worried about the proliferation in some forums saying that they are not reliable. Anyone here running 7900gt's, and anyone had any problems ?

    Best X2 3800+ price monitoring thread

    Things are going crazy in the X2 market, and I thought we should try to keep track. These are going to be superb upgrades (well at least the 939's) for anyone not quite ready to jump to Conroe: Currently (I'm ignoring whether a processor is OEM or retail): AM2: Specialtech : £221.35...

    How NOT to write a review...

    Check out this for a rubbish review: http://www.hi-techreviews.com/Joomla/content/view/469/27/ 5 pages about a drive silencer and....nothing and the noise ?!?! So many moving adverts that I have a headache now too ;)

    Help me with network traffic specs for streaming media files ?

    I had no idea which forum this belonged in !! ;) If I choose an average broadband user as having a 2mb adsl line, does that mean they can typically download 220k/s ? If that is the case, can I assume, that if their connection is also doing a little other work, or suffering usual service...

    Best 939 SLI board ?

    Is it still the generally held opinion that the DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR Expert is the best 939 SLI board out there ? My current PC has developed a catastrophic fault, so a quick purchase might be in order ;) How would the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe compare ?

    Samsung Spec confusion - 913n vs 940n ?

    The Samsung website is pretty useless at allowing direct comparison between the specs of their multitude of monitors... Can anyone simply tell me what the differences are between the SM913n and the SM940n ? Which is likely to be the best ? I'm looking for a narrow bezel, and decent D-SUB...

    Opteron : Final check

    Please forgive the noobness of the question. This is a final check - I might be about to invest in a 170. I want a nice dual core Athlon 64 which will overclock on water. Can someone please double confirm for me that I could put this into any 939 motherboard and get good results ?! Ta ! Dan

    Recommend a S939 motherboard ?

    Hi folks, I've been trying to determine the best processor in the AMD Processors forum, and now I need to figure out the best motherboard for me. The basic requirements are probably: - S939 - Four DDR slots - Gigabit ethernet (two not necessary) - 3gb/s Sata - SLI However, it's going to...
