I actually did all this months ago, but i did it in such little bits when i had spare 5 minutes that it was impossble to keep a build log. It's not finished, by far, but i'm lacking inspiration for how to finish it so it's been left as is for the last 2 months or so and will be until i decide...

Is it worth doing? Overclockers UK are selling them for £141, and seen as i've already got one... Would be going an an Asus P5k, Q6600 @ 3.4ghz, 4gb 1066mhz Crucial Ballistix ram. Currently using a 19" monitor at 1440x900, but plan on dualling it with a 22" when i get back off holiday.

Is it normal for the above RAM to get hot enough to burn your fingers? The memory isn't overclocked and is being run at the rated volts (2.2v).

Following on from my thread about having problems with downgrading the BIOS on my P5K i want your opinion on a few things that have happened lately. Basically, i started off with the 0902 bios and had my Q6600 clocked at 3.4ghz stable (12 hours prime, no errors or warnings). I then upgraded to...

I'm after some software that will stream videos over the internet from a home server. I'm using Vibe Streamer for my music and want something similar for videos. For anyone not familiar with Vibe Streamer you share your music folders through the software then when you log into the front end you...

I am trying to downgrade my bios but keep getting the error "ERROR! Unable to read ROM file". I have tried the method here using 3 different USB pens, 2 different ROM revisions downloaded numerous times and 2 versions of AFUDOS off the ASUS website aswell as the one in that thread download...

I brought 3DMark06 on 21st of this month and was just looking through my emails just and noticed an email from Futuremark, which i received on 28th and must have skipped past. Contained in the email was a free 3DMark Vantage Advanced serial number :p The email said: Dear Futuremark Customer...

I've been doing a bit of work on my desktop over the last week (there is a project thread in the projects section) and have got to the point now where minus the cable sleeving as it hasn't arrived yet, i am happy to leave modding it unless i think of something else that will make the case...

I've started modding an Antec 900 case (project thread is here) and one of the ideas i am toying with is modding the HDD activity light, as it's a bit crap on the 900 case. I've got 3 questions: 1) Is there anything stopping me plugging what is meant to be the HDD activity light into the Power...

I've been using my Antec 900 as it comes out of the box for the last month or so, and whilst it's usable in it's standard form, there are a few things i think would take this case from being good to being great. First thing is first, empty the case off all components: Spraying the case...

Ok, so my setup so far is as follows: Antec 900 case Intel C2Q Q6600 G0 SLACR, lapped @3.4Ghz Asus P5K HIS Radeon HD380x2 OCZ Gamexsteam 600w Tuniq Tower 120 4x120mm case fans (3 intake, 1 exhaust) 2x200mm case fan (exhaust) CPU idle temp - 38C CPU load temp - 59C MB temp - 32C 3x...
