Can anyone tell me why only my gpu fans are showing up in speedfan? I have another 4 fans plugged into my motherboard, none of which seem to be showing up. I have some fan control options in the bios so it's not like the mobo can't control them. I'm using SpeedFan 4.49 by the way.

What differences between 4/8 phases would we expect to see when overclocking? (Specifically for Haswell and Devil's Canyon, I've heard they have some sort of on board vrms?)

How so?

I know neither of these boards are particularly great overclockers, but which would be the better when it comes to overclocking? Apart from pci slots, according to the Gigabyte website these 2 boards are supposedly otherwise equivalent. So can we assume they overclock the same? http://...

Gigabyte Z97x SLI http:// Gigabyte Z97 D3H http:// Apart from having different PCI slots (and hence sli compatibility for the z97x sli), are there any differences between these two motherboards? Overclocking? Additional features? Build quality? I don't plan on crossfire or sli by the way.

Will the FX 8350 be a viable processor 1 year from now? What about 2 years from now? I'm referring to viability for gaming and general use.

I've read a lot about this cooler, opinions very much divided. But are these 2 sources telling the truth? If so, is the 120v not a pretty decent cooler? (albeit not at all the best) Source 1: http:// Source 2: http://

What exactly is the difference between the Scythe Kama Cross Rev. B and Scythe Kama Cross 2? Are they just the same thing but re-branded? Rev. B: http:// 2: http://

So I'm trying to decide which of these 2 processors to get. If I overclock an 8320 to 8350 speeds, will it be running a lot warmer than an 8350 at stock? The FX 8350 is £25 (~ $38) extra, is it worth it?

i5 4670k and an r9 290 (probably sapphire), both to be overclocked. Should I go for a 650w gold or a 750w bronze for the psu?

Was looking at xfx pro850w core edition, corsair rm850 and corsair ax860 (in price 80 plus rating ascending order). These any good? Is 850w enough?

Benchmark tests typically seem to show these cards are fairly equivalent in performance but the 780 would cost me £30-£40 extra. I definitely will not be getting a 290 with the reference cooler, so not worried about temps (looking at asus and powercolor). Power consumption is another thing...

So I decided to improve my old computer (factory) and upon upgrading the stock Core 2 Duo E4600 to a Core 2 Duo E7500, both the case and cpu fans seem to be stuck on 100% rpm. I've been monitoring the cpu temperature and it's 33c when idle, and never past 50c under load, so no overheating as far...
