I'm thinking of getting a fan controller, possibly the NZXT Sentry 3. Just wondering where people place the temp sensors. I want to try keep everything as clean as possible so looking to place them out of sight where possible. Is there a better fan controller at around the £40 mark? I'd like...

Hey guys! Been a while since I was last active on here, and after getting Battlefront for Christmas couldn't think of a better time (being off work and all) to finally completely rewire my PC and stick her in a new case. I don't game as much as I used to so the specs are super great but they're...

Ok first off 2 reasons for the project name, one I love Redbull (too much...) and because I've decided on a red and black theme using the Bulldozer CPU family. My first build thread (quite a few years ago now) can be seen here and since then quite a bit has changed. Thankfully! Here is a more...

Well finally managed to coax my XFX 5850 to 1000MHz core clock. Unfortunately it's as stable as a granny with jelly legs but was pleased to make the 1GHz club. (If that qualifys!) Might have another tweak after the football see how far I can go stable.

I have finally gone to the dark side sad to say; after my ex robbed me of my gaming rig and with me moving around the country alot I've decided to buy a Dell XPS laptop for some light gaming. I can easily work through a 5 hour Starcraft 2 session so looking for something to help keep her cool...

A long time ago I brought one of these keyboards. Must say it was the best £20 I've ever spent! Until I spilt beer on it Anyone have any ideas where I can get one of these now they are EOL? Or a replacement in a similar price bracket? (£15-25 and Low rubber keys) Would be much appreciated and...

Well its that time of the year again... Im looking to upgrade my graphics card and i am unsure of: ZOTAC GTX260 896MB DDR3 XFX HD 5770 1GB DDR5 Bonus of the nvidia card is that i can then buy another in the future and keep going in SLi. However the ATi card supports DX11 and seem to be much...

Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-TriCool-Blue-LED-120mm/dp/B00066FHEW/ref=pd_cp_ce_1 But in black if possiable and/or with white led's? Thanks :)

Ok this morning my antec 300 case arrived. I moved all of my components to my new case fired her up and after about 2.30 minutes (Not exact) it just reboots. I looked in the windows event viewer and it just says that there was a power failure. So i swapped the PSU into my missus rig but it...

Having a fiddle today managed to get what i would deem a pretty good OC on mt ATi Radeon 4670 1GB. Managed to get this outta her http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/uxw65/ Might up the core a bit more later and see how she goes :)

Well i finished my build a while back now and i still haven't got round to tidying up my cables :( Just wondering if anyone had any advice for a nice cost-efficient way of running the cables round the side of casing? Or any tips on tidying them up as neat as possible. Cheers Jay :wavey:

Well whatta get for xmas? I'll start... I got a new guitar :rocker: a 1GB MP4 Player, Some Blue Cold Cathodes for my Rig a windproof lighter a bottle of Pinot Grigio (white wine) and some other stuff... Your turn :)

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my cores running really hot. Its only when i compile in Visual C++ they get this hot and hit the 60'c mark but idle they are at about 20'c and 14'c. My actual CPU temp is only 22'c which is why im confused however my CPU fan is running at 113RPM on auto...
