So, I'm currently working on a custom fan controller to control the speed of all the fans in my system so that they can be controlled based on the temperature of the components in my system. This also means controlling my GPU fans which are now the loudest part of my computer even at the lowest...

Firstly, I have bought a Supermicro x8dti along with 2x Intel Xeon E5649's. I have followed all of the installation steps as listed in the PDF user manual but to no avail as I cannot get the board to power on in any way. I have plugged in the 24 pin and the two 8 pin CPU power connectors. I...

So I have my mind pretty much set on getting a dual Xeon E5645 build and was just hoping someone could help me out with picking a motherboard as many I have found are either expensive or don't support the 5600 series of Xeons. The best I have found so far on eBay has been the Supermicro X8DTi...

So as my title says, I need more render performance but for cheap as my current FX-8320 isn't really cutting it with it taking the lovely long time of 27 minutes for After Effects to render a 15 second clip with a small bit of colour correction and denoising. The main problem with the upgrade...

So I've been away from PC's and hardware for a while now and just wanted to have a sanity check before I recommend this build to a friend for £1000. i5 4690K GTX 980 Windforce 8gb 1866 Kingston Fury RAM Z97S Krait Edition mobo CM 212 Evo EVGA Supernova GS 550 Samsung 850 Evo 250gb Seagate 2TB...

Long story short, I bought a brand new Canon 100D a few days ago with the intention of using to film parkour and freerunning videos with my team. The lens on it is only a kit lens so is a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none... Basically I am thinking that I want a simple 'Nifty Fifty'...

So at the moment I feel I have somewhat of a problem in terms of my fans. In my case I have 7 fans and each fan is running on ~4v because of the 5v splitter that I made and I have added a small resistor to take it down to about 4v meaning that, in theory, my fans should be running pretty much...

So firstly, I'll have a build log coming with all of the updates of my rig over the last year including me finally finishing her off which is why I'v been absent from the forum for a few weeks. Now onto my actual problem that I can't seem to figure out. I recently acquired an old Q6600 system...

So I'm not really sure what I should be looking for in an engraver. My dad has tasked me with this because he thinks that I'll understand all of the technical specs of the machines but I really don't. I was hoping the great people of the forum would be able to help me find the right one for him...

I bought a 290 Tri-X of SieB at the end of last week, it arrived on Monday and it seemed fine. It was working fine with no problems till Wednesday when I started folding and the card started to produce random artifacts that span from left to right across the screen. I have tried resetting the...

So I've been looking at my PPD on my new 290 and it seems waayyy too low, as in, it's lower than my 7870 was. My FAH is stock and I have overclocked the 290 to 1150 core and 1550 mem. I'm only getting about 40k PPD and I'm on a core 17 workload?

So yesterday, when trying to remove the thermal epoxy from my 7870 I kipped it but breaking one of the VRAM chips. That's all I'm saying on that here but I was hoping I could get some advice on a card to get. Ideally it needs to be under £200 but I will happily go and buy a used card if it is...

So I was hoping that I could get some input from some of you guys on my waterblock design that I making to better utilize the power of my peltier and make it that bit more efficient. I'm tired so this thread will be quite quick and may have some typos. So just some pictures of some Sketchup...

I'm still having some pretty serious issues trying to get my peltier to run properly and keep my 8320 cool. Just a little on how it's running at the moment, she runs at sub-zero (I don't actually know how far sub because my board doesn't support sub-zero readings :lol:) but only at idle. As...

So I've got my rig up and running kitted with 3 SP120 LED fans and 4 AF120 QE LED fans all on a 5v molex fan speed reducer and the problem that I have is that theyre still audible, well actually they're loud, as loud as my previous fans on the same reducer. They push more than enough air so the...
