So for some context: Ryzen 2600X MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon 16GB Teamgroup Dark Pro 3200 ID Cooling Auraflow 240mm Since building my new rig a couple of months ago I pretty much just set the XMP on the memory (16-16-16-36 @3200) and tweaked the vcore to bring temps down and left it alone. A...

Anybody here had any experience with Palit 10 series cards, specifically the Jetstream/Super Jetstream? I'm looking at just picking up the 1070. I've never built a system with an nvidia GPU so I'm not too familiar with brands like Palit and Zotac etc. Just looking what people's experiences...

I'm in the process of part hunting for a new build and have found a couple places selling EVGA 1080 SC and Palit Super Jetstream for £470-£500. I've also found EVGA 1070 ti for about £415-420. My head is telling me "it's only £60 and the 1080 will last you longer" (I don't plan to be upgrading...

No in-depth post here, Not many pictures and they're potato iphone pics that I sent to her as progress reports. So my lady friend, in her infinite wisdom, decided she wanted a new PC to play WoW. No problem, right? Until she decides she wants the BitFenix Prodigy M.... I tried to convince her...

Hi, first thread in a loooong time. Intro: Basically I'm looking to upgrade to a fresh build to replace my current rig, but I've been out of the loop for a long time and I have no idea what's worthwhile. Feel kind of how I did when I first started building and getting lost looking at hardware...

I was in the middle of my monthly clean and adjusting some cables that have been bugging me when it occurred to me that I hadn't posted anything since building it last year. So, better late than never. Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 AMD FX-6300 CoolerMaster TX3 MSI 7790 OC Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB...

Found a Facebook video of this so just had to find it on youtube to share. hQLF06rwzVE Little bit too much simulated body roll but damn it looks like fun.

Earlier this year (august) I bought a few parts from OCUK, and for the last couple months I've been getting various BSoD. The first couple pointed towards GPU, which made sense as I'd just updated drivers (incorrectly I might add) so I did a fresh install again, and latest drivers for...

I've been having a play with Sketchup the last couple of days Obviously the parts are just placeholders and positioning isn't perfect, (however the internal dimensions are correct to within 1 to 2mm I think) and missing the pump and hosing, SSD etc, but wondered what people thought about this...

As title, I'm looking for some help selecting the motherboard to use for my next build. I'm unsure whether to go with the FX-6300 or the 8320/50 while waiting for the Steamroller FX chip, but whichever board I buy will be the one I use for SR, at least to begin with. I'd like something decent...

As title, just wanted some feedback on how this is looking: https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/-uP7c4mnNAbnMQYLCN5U1g,, FX-8350 Gigabyte 7950 OC Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Corsair TX750M 8GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 120GB Samsung 840 1TB WD Caviar Green BitFenix Shinobi Also, why is it so hard to...

What are people's experiences of Special Tech recently? I did a search and notice that they used to be partnered on here, a partnership that was dissolved for some reason or another. The reason I ask is that I'm tempted to order a case from there so I'd like to know if, for example, their...

Seeing as I've started a new job and have the prospect of steady income for the forseeable future I've been looking into building a new rig. Ideally I'd like to get the case first as it would be my motivation every time I look at it, also I'm planning on watercooling and fitting a window if the...

Just a friendly heads-up, UK users should avoid buying anything delicate from Amazon as I start work at the Rugeley warehouse on Sunday and I'm prone to dropping stuff :lol:

Hey all, fresh meat here. Recently became a member so figured this was as good a place as any to pop my post cherry. I'm an immature, 28 year old, living in the West Midlands, arriving unfashionably late to the PC gaming party, unless WoW counts.... Fairly inexperienced with OC though I do like...
