So currently I have an i7 960 and a 7970 under water. With the amount of rad size i've got i'm really not happy with my temps. I've had this CPU at 4GHz on a single 120 all in one solution before, now I can't get it anywhere near there. Here's what I've got, I've reset everything to stock i7...

I've had my system running for a long time now on a 960, OC to 4 GHz (200x20) With this I had 3 x 2GB Kingston Hyper X 1.65V (9-9-9-27 i think) I bought a while back for a friend 2 x 4GB Mushkin Blackline 9-9-9-24 1.5V for a rig he was planning, in the end he never ended up building it though...

So I might have finally convinced my dad to upgrade from his piece of crap dell after 5 years lol. 1. What is your budget? No real budget 2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? photoshop/lightroom and general browsing 3. Do you need a copy of Windows? nope 4. Can you use any parts...

Ok, so today I had to repatch something at work, i immediately regretted having to do that lol

So I thought I still had some air in my loop, so I did what I had seen some reccomend which was the shake the system as the pump was on, as I have a XSPC double bay res/pump combo, this allowed the pump to breath air and all it did was shoot a load of air into my loop since then idle temps...

So now i've whacked a water block on my 7970 I thought it should be time to start overclocking. So here is the specs of the rig i7 960 OC to 4.2GHz - XSPC RASA waterblock fitted ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard 6GB Kingston Hyper-X 1600MHz 2 x Intel X25-M SSD in raid 0 1 x 2TB and 1 x 1TB HDD...

So i've had my 7970 (powercolor) about a week so far, and it seems to be giving me nothing but issues First of all I keep getting out of memory directx errors in battlefield 3, to be honest I got this once or twice with my old 450s so thinking it might be down to the game but its still...

Ok so I've had an i7 960 for about a year now, that has been running for quite some time at a stable 4ghz over clock at around 1.26 volts. Now i've got my custom water loop in I feel i can push things a bit further, thermally speaking at least. I'm experimenting as I type to see whats the...

So I got my delivery from special tech today, along with my XSPC CPU block i ordered some IC Diamond TIM, not knowing the XSPC block comes with a little tube of XSPC K2. So basically, which one is better? I will be using a waterblock for my 7970 too

Well, today I finally took the plunge and bought a rather large upgrade for my PC. First of all the current rig, yes its a beast, no not in a good way. Specs are i7 960 Clocked to 4GHz CoolIT ALC all in one liquid cooler Asus P6X58D-E 6GB KINGSTON HYPER-X 2x Intel 80GB SSDs in RAID...

So having recently come into some money, i've decided along with a graphics card upgrade i might as well go for a full custom water loop to replace my coolit ALC system. (relevant)Hardware I plan to water cool Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Processor: i7 960 OC to 4GHz Graphics: Radeon 7950...
