I know there's another post on this topic literally below mine But I want a definitive answer: Which are the best 120mm fan for my new WC radiators? Some say its the Noctua NF-F12, others say the Scythe Gentle Typhoons, but which one? I'd like a fans with a red led for mounting on the...

I want to build a high performance mATX gaming rig in the Fractal Design Arc Mini in the near future. It will most likely be based around these components: Asus Maximus V Gene Z77 mATX mobo Ivy Bridge processor 16gb corsair vengeance EVGA gtx680 hydro copper (or equivalent) SeaSonic /...

I want to build a high performance mATX machine which I can easily move around when I'm going from University back to home etc. Hopefully based around the 2011 socket and with a Nvidia GTX 680 in it. I'm pretty sure I can handle what's inside... but I don't know where to start with the case. My...

Want to go SLI, but my GTX 570 is really difficult to find for sale in the UK... Here it is: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N570GTX-M2D12D5.html As you can see its the reference design one, not the Twin Frozr II card. If anyone can find me somewhere where I can buy one in the UK or overseas...

OK, I've asked this question before but I never really got a definitive answer, so I'll ask again: My computer will not wake properly after being put into 'sleep' mode. After been put in sleep mode, when I try and wake my PC (either by pressing keys on the keyboard or by pressing the power...

Hey guys, I've got a Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced White and I want a side panel window for it. As far as I can tell, Coolermaster only make a black windowed side panel for the case, so: Is it possible to source a window for my case in white? If not, can I have a black windowed side...

Yeah, I think the fan on my reference design GTX 570 doesn't cut it anymore. The fan makes a hell of a lot of noise at high temperatures, and at low ones too! The card is now out of warranty, so I wanted to upgrade to a better cooler for it as I have no real plans of upgrading in the near...

Hey dudes, you guys have helped me before, so I might ask for some more help again... My old gaming rig is now being used as a family computer and I think the levels of hardware and power which it possesses are not necessary for its purpose. So I want to build a mini desktop PC, either...

OK guys, what I want to do is take my old gaming rig (don't worry I have a much nicer new one now) and turn it into an office PC. So I want to keep most of the old hardware, but put the PC in a much smaller, quieter case and update the software. Sound like a good idea? The PC at the moment: -...

Ok, I built my first ever computer about 6 months ago (with loads of help from you guys on OC3D), and on the whole it's been fantastic and I really want to do it again. But there are two problems with my computer which I really want to get fixed, but being new to this I really have no idea where...

OK, I have a PCI wireless adaptor, this is it: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/edimax-ew-7722in-300mbps-wireless-11n-pci-adapter When I first turn on my computer, and when my computer resumes from sleep there is a problem when I first log onto the internet. My entire screen freezes up and the...

Even after updating the software and BIOS, and clearing all dust out of my GPU and case, my MSI NGTX 570 with reference cooler is still running really hot. It idles at about 42 degrees even with the fan settings cranked way up when the card is idling. The problem gets even worse when the card is...

Bought a MSI GTX N570, having some real problems with it. Whenever I play games I get constant freezing issues, I also get really weird squealing sounds coming from the card when under intensive tasks. Now (this has developed recently) the card can get up to 30% load when I just do simple...

Got a MSI GTX N570 reference card and am really pleased with it. Only thing is, it tends to make a very high pitched squealing noise when playing certain games; notably Minecraft. During the loading screen when the card maxes out the game at about 300fps it starts to make the noise, and then...

Just thought some of you guys might like to know... Was building my PC on an Asus P8P67 Pro with some Mushkin Redline Ridgeback PC317000 RAM (2x4GB @ 2133MHz) and it just wouldn't post on it's first ever run. Using the mobo's nice LED's for showing up faulty components, it showed a RAM problem...
