So, hi, I'm a bit confused. I'm in the process of replacing a Noctua D14 with a H100i. But for some reason When the H100i is touching the cpu it won't boot, but when the D14 is it will. I've even kept both coolers plugged into the motherboard so there is no difference in power consumption or...

.. or anything. (Apologies this isn't a new build as such, so point me in the direction of another forum if this is the wrong place) So I moved my computer in a car for xmas and it's been a bit temperamental ever since. It begins to power up, the fans start, but after a few seconds it clicks...

Hi, so, I'm trying to capture output from an iPad mini to an Aver capture card. It all seems to work momentarily. I see an image of the iPad display on my monitor but then I get a message saying that the Video card or Monitor may not support HDCP. To play this video, you may connect your...

Well, aren't I being demanding today....anywoo So I'm all installed with my new 3770k and I wanted to see what temperature it was running at. So I ran cortemps and it only seemed to show 2 cores. Odd I thought, but maybe it's calibrated to my old amd cpu so I downloaded and ran realtemps...

Ok this is a bit of a weird one, as ttl would say... So I've just upgraded my mobo and cpu, so I now want to sell my old ones. Problem is I don't have any of the original packaging. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could pack them, in particular the cpu. It's an AMD cpu, so it...

Ok I'm a bit struck on how to install all the little front panel audio connectors. You know, the little fiddly ones. I seem to have a lot more connectors than the instruction manual expects... Do I really need these?

So, apologies.. noob.. So I'm in the process of jumping off the amd ship and going intel. My shiny new Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H and 3770k arrived today and they are replacing a phenom ii 955 and an Asus m4n68t. I've been watching videos on youtube on how to replace mother boards but... the AMD...

Hi, apologies because I imagine a variant on this question has been asked many times before but... Would I notice a difference in performance between these memory kits...

Hi I'm a bit confused about whether or not to invest in an ssd. I'm a 3d artist primarily using 3ds max and zbrush. Can anyone give me an idea as to what sort of improvement I would experience? I'm on the large-ish end of data use, I use models up to about 3gb and textures of about 150mb. I...

So in terms of software I run windows 7 64bit, 3ds max, zbrush and photoshop (plus ancillary bits and bobs). I think my main problem is my motherboard. I do plan to switch intel later in the year but for the moment I'm using one of these http://www.overclock...oard_26633.html which has only 3...

Hi, I'm a 3d artst and I'm about to upgrade the ram on my machine and I was wondering if it was worth shelling out for particularly fast ram. My two options (so far) are, http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...productId=45905 or http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...productId=47295 Obviously...

I've got rather an old system that I'm upgrading, bit by bit. I next want to upgrade the ram, but I don't know if the ram I want will work well/at all with my motherboard. I'm thinking of buying either...

Ok so I just installed a new psu, everything was working fine, I've been using my computer all evening. Then I get a strange out of memory error, so I reboot the system and I get a beep code. Two short beeps and four short beeps. I was trying to find the meaning of the code however, that seems...

Hi sorry in advance I know this is a noob question, but.... I'm thinking of replacing my PSU which is by far the loudest thing in my computer. The one I currently have came with the case and whats confusing me is the fan seems to be in a different place to any replacement psus I can find. The...
