Had a bit of a splash out today on modding bits and pieces and a few other components as well i.e couple of psu's and ram along with led's ,cables ,heatshrink and braid and quite a few other bits I can't think of presently. The upshot of all this is I am a very happy bunny although my happiness...

Recently I installed my 1st custom loop and although it looks great I'm still not satisfied so have decided I need to go for a rigid loop set up where I bend the tubes to correct measurement. This is going to be a major build upstep as I will be looking to mod and customize everything in order...

I always thought I had a bad draw on the silicon lottery with my 4670K as no matter what clock speed it would crash a stress test in a minute or two, sometimes after a few seconds and even at stock(Yes proper Stock TTL). Anyhow that was using a mediocre AIO Corsair H55 which I suppose you get...

Well got the new Phobya kit yesterday and holy cow this radiators a beast 60mm without fans mounted .The only option in my 450D case is to mount it in the front as need the drive bays for the fan controller,had to whip out the bottom drive cage and sit the SSHD in the bottom 5.25 under the Fan...

Right been really confused by this to the point im beginning to think im totally thick or doing something drastically wrong. Ive been trying to get my voltage as low as possible and stable so I have a point to start overclocking my CPU. After watching numerous videos and trying various methods I...

Right been a while guys but back to play a little with my 4670K .Been trying to get my cpu to stock i.e the lowest voltage it can boot up with into OS and stay . Been dropping the voltage in incrememnts of .5 eg 1.050>1.025 and so on also dropping ring ratio at .5 less than cpu ratio so if cpu...

Tried stress testing with OCCT and keeps cutting out with a massive 127.5 degrees Fahrenheit spike on Core 0 yet all other temp programs show no massive hike edging around 38-40 c . Have i got it set right or is the program in need of re-installation.

Seems like this download pre-install has been sat doing nothing in my Origin account for bloody ages,and the more hype about this game the more it winds me up that I have it installed but cant play it .Still not long now and then I can see what all the hypes about for myself China Rising here I come

Just took delivery of 2 i5 4670K's to go in 2 very nice Z87 G45 gaming mobo's for my sons christmas twin builds.Going to be spoilt me thinks.Got black braided cables for the interior wiring so going to look really sweet with the Corsair Air fans and G Skill Ripjawz. Spent a bloody fortune...

Ok i want to overclock my i5 haswell 4670k on my z87 gd65 gaming board and it just aint happening not even with OC Genie thats on the board.When I reboot after using the genie the screen freezes before i get into bios.Ive been told it may be the psu but i thought running a case fan from the rail...

Right not really sure wether to go ahead and use my PSU OCZ coreXstreme 500w with my new MSI Z87-GD65 and intel 4670K processor as it does'nt come up in the list of Haswell ready PSUs on the manufacturers site .I have seen that the mainboard is compatable with it somewhere but cant even find...

Right just ordered my new build or should I say revamp kit so will keep all informed as to how it gets on and the eventual outcome.I must say what a result from Aria i5 4670K and MSI Z87 GD65 for 347 quid now thats a bloody bargain in my opinion.Keep tuned for the cooling kit when I've found it...

Right overclocked my CPU to a mere 4ghz and voltage on Vcore to 1.100v everything fine no problems in OCCT and CPU-Z tho temps a little higher than wanted. Trouble is on system restart everythings fine, boots up all good but when I shut down the system completely then boot im getting a Bios...

lowered voltage too low can't get past gigabyte logo or into bios so now I assume I have to jump reset the board
