Hi guys, So i just received my EVGA gtx 670 FTW for my new build and threw it in my old rig to check all was well. About a second after the desktop loaded I got a beautiful Red screen. It didnt completely crash as I was still able to blindly shut it down. I tried a few things like uninstalling...

I hate to make a post asking something that could be googled but I have been at it for ages and have had no success so I am turning to you guys for help! I need 8 Bitspower multi link adaptors in shiny silver (BP-WTP-C47) and I cannot find them in stock anywhere in the UK. If anyone happens to...

Hi guys, I have been looking around for people using stainless in their loop and I have seen bits and pieces but nothing very conclusive. I was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with it or knew of a good reason why I shouldnt have a lot of stainless steel in my loop? For those...

Hi guys, Ive just finished putting together a rig for my little brother and have been playing around trying to get a nice OC on it. The board is a gigabyte Ga-Z77x-D3H and the processor is a 3570K. My experience of overclocking has been entirely on older chips and so there are a few settings...

Hi all, I am messing about with cable routing for my scratch build and have been using my old 775 motherboard as a template for positioning things. I just wanted to do a quick sanity check as if I mess this up I will not be pleased Am i right in thinking that the CPU and mobo power connectors...

Has anyone seen a comparison of the performance of the 7970 to the 7950 when both are properly overclocked (as in not some 100 MHz factory OC) I know I can dig up overclocked benches for them individually and compare but differences in driver versions and test rigs make a direct comparison...

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the difference between the intel 520 and 330 was. I know the 520 is a bit faster but is that it or is there anything fundamentally different underneath?

Hi Guys, Im trying to find some Clear Primochill tubing with an ID of 7/16. Ive tried specialtech,aria,scan,ocuk and cant find it. Anyone know of a reputable retailer I can acquire some from? Cheers

Hi all, Just wanted to share this article I read today and found really interesting. Its all about FPS as a measurement of GPU performance and how averaging the number of frames produced over a second can give a miss-leading measure of the graphics card's ability to produce a smooth video...

Wasn't entirely sure where to post this but here we go. As part of my desk build I have a 475x430 mm rad built into one side. I assumed that I would be able to find steel mesh relatively easily but so far I cant find anything suitable in terms of size and hole density. Don't suppose anyone...

This topic is where I hope to post the build log for a project I have been planning for ages. It carries over from an earlier post where I was getting some ideas. http://forum.overclo...168#entry470168 So basically I wanted to make my Rig into something a bit more unique and give myself a bit...

Hi guys, I've been looking for some UV reactive purple dye and so far the only one I have found is made by Feser. The colour looks great but the only time I hear Feser mentioned is in conjunction with "look at all this gunk in my blocks". Anyone know of an alternative or if I could mix that up...

A while ago I decided i've had enough of having the hulking mass that is my HAF-X sitting next to me roaring in my ear. I was planning to watercool it when I upgraded the internals but then I did something very silly. I went to LIT and saw the Scan Swordfish. Having fallen for the Swordfish but...

Hi guys, Ive found this deal on overclockers for an asus 560 ti for £150. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-247-AS Its the cheapest ive seen one and at the moment I have no graphics card at all as mine died a couple of weeks ago. So my question is if I bought this as a...

Hi all, My graphics card died recently and ive been trying to decide on a replacement. I borrowed my m8s gtx 580 to see how much my old system would hold it back (planning to uprade to IB next year) and my PSU sounded like it was preparing to take my rig to the moon! Its a 4 year old tagan...
