Hi All, Anyone used these before? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-462-LL&tool=3 After throwing my dummy in the dirt with the H100, I've jumped ship and gone to the Antec Khuler 920 but in doing so, I shot myself in the foot! The 920 wouldn't fit in my Obsidian 650D...

Hi All, I have just set up a new rig and I am running a 3930K on a RE4 with 32GB of Dominator 2133 but the XMP only tries to run it at 1333. If I set it to 2133, I get a BSOD on startup in to windows 7 pro. I have flashed the bios of the board to the latest release but other than that, I'm...

Hi All, Question is, will an Antec H20 920 fit in to a Corsair Obsidian 650D with an Asus R4E with 8 sticks of Dominator RAM? Thanks in advance, James

I have had to RMA my H100 as it's making a grinding sound and also the mounting bracket was skewed (a common problem it seems). My supplier is telling me that there is a back order (I assume whilst they try and resolve these issues) and I don't know how long it will last. I feel a bit negative...

Hi All, Is it possible to fold on a virtual Win 2008 or Ubuntu server? The reason I ask is that I have a virtual farm at work and although I am short on RAM, I have loads of CPU power left to distribute and could put towards folding if it will work. There aren't any GPUs to use but I can...

Hi All, Is the GTX680-DC2O-2GD5 a reference card? I'm thinking of watercooling it so want to know if it will take a standard 680 water block. Cheers, James

Hi all, There is a hole in the corner of the heat exchange plate on my 3930k. I'm sure it's meant to be there but the question is, when I apply thermal paste, should I avoid it or just paste over it?

Hi All, I am currently in the process of setting up my new build and I'm on day 2. Yesterday, I had all 4 sticks of RAM (Dominator 4GB 1866 quad) and all was well. I had to re-jig some things in my case so I took the RAM out but when I put it back in, it's only showing 12GB total and not 16GB...

Hi All, I am an IT manager and look at wireless networks as a last resort even though we use Cisco Aironets! Anyway - can online gaming be done on standard home WiFi networks or are the pings too high? I know there are a lot of outside factors e.g. distance from router, type of walls...

Hi All, Looking at the GTX680 -DC2O-2GD5 and I can see they are thicker than a usual GTX680 so my question is, can they be setup in SLI on a Rampage Extreme - is there enough room?

Sorry if this thread doesn't belong here but I dont know where else to put it - mods, please move if you need to. As well as being in to pc building, I am an IT geek for my day job and I also program a little when I can (C#, ASP, MVC, SQL etc). I recently got in to electronics prototyping...

Hi All, I have £900 saved for a GPU, question is - do I wait for the ASUS GTX 690 to come in to stock or am I better off with another set up? Maybe 2 or 3 different cards in SLI/Cross Fire? 2 x 7970s? My only thoughts on holding out for the 690 is I hear it's quieter and cooler that a 7970...

Just found this... http://www.ebaumswor...watch/82538964/ Oh dear god

Hi All, I will soon have my new rig and will be moving from PS3 gaming to PC. I usually play Blackops or MW3 but I've been looking at BF3 and can't wait to give it a go. I have a few questions: To play online, do you have to use the Origin service? (Is Origin free?) Is anyone in a UK...

What is everyones thoughts on RAIDing 2 Corsair Force GT 240GB SSD's? Are they going to degrade without TRIM or can they look after them selves? My system will be a 3930K, 32GB Dominator Ram on a Rampage IV Extreme. Thanks in advance, James
