I know, I know. I hang my head in shame for using Powerline adapters but they are the best choice I have at the moment. Just wondering whether anyone has any experience with running multiple Powerline adapters in the same house. Can you mix and match adapter brands? Can you use a single...

Hi Tom, Just dug out my old rig and look what I found. Remember this? :D:cool::cool:

Anyone playing this? BF2 & BF2142 Revive Project https://battlelog.co/

I'll be making my annual trip out of Cornwall next week:p and headed to Bristol. Just wondering whether there were any reputable retailers in or around the area where I can try out a few bits of PC hardware and maybe buy something? Things like decent GPUs or mechanical keyboards etc?

Hi Guys, I've not long finished my current build but my friend will be returning home from 3 years in hospital in the near future and that means I will need a rig to leave at her house as I'll be a primary carer for her when I'm not at work too. I was hoping to re-use as many components as...

Hi Have any of you had an issue where your CPU voltage is no longer being reported through to CPU-Z or HWMonitor? I went back to over clocking last night and manually set my CPU Voltage etc but since then these applications either report 0 (HWMonitor) or the option is greyed out (CPU-Z). I've...

Hi guys, Just finished my new build and ditched the Auzentech Prelude for onboard audio but it sounds flat. I'm currently running Asus Z170-Deluxe onboard sound, SP2500 speakers, not using a decent set of headphones at present (recommendations welcome). I was originally looking for a dedicated...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of building a new rig but reusing a couple of old components as I feel they may be still OK. Proposed spec: Intel 4790k Asus Z97 Deluxe \USB 3.1 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum Crucial BX100 500GB SSD Corsair H110i GT AIO Corsair 750D Currently planning on keeping...

I have lived behind a rock for a long time and finally decided to dig out my Auzentech Prelude soundcard for my current rig after packing it away after the "snap crackle and pop" issues I had with the old chipset on my original rig. My listening experience has massively improved already but I...

Apologies if this has been discussed before (I'm sure it has) but does anyone know the differences between the Win 7 'E' and 'N' editions as listed HERE? Planning on pre-ordering but wanted to make sure that I wasn't buying the wrong edition. Comparison table shows no differences between them...

My x1900xt has finally given up the ghost, and i'm not willing to spend a huge amount of money on a replacement card considering nahalem is out soon as well as some very tasty cards (4870x2 etc). I've decided to go for the 4850 as I believe this offers the best bang for buck. I know the cooler...

As I'm stuck with the Sapphire X1900XT now for a while, I automatically assumed the Accelero X2 would be the perfect aftermarket cooling solution. I have recently read that a lot of people are complaining about how the cooler doesn't vent and how the cooler and ramsinks are stuck on like...

I am running an old AMD Opteron 170 dual core, and wanted to know which D-Tek Fuzion Nozzle would be best to use. I have read a review thread on the nozzle kit where they say that just using the washer gave very good cooling advantages over stock. Most reviews, as expected, are based on Intel...

I was flicking through some of the project logs (both on here and wcuk forums) and have noticed that a lot of you are going for cases where they reverse the motherboard into an inverted position. I know that heatpipes do not like this type of positioning, but was wondering whether this limited...

I'm getting ready to re-do my loop, but was wondering what you opinions would be on: 1) Inline temperature probes - Worth it or not? Is the additional restriction worth the hassle of knowing your water temperature? Is the restriction significant? 2) Changing my current Swiftech MCP-655 for a...
