    Watercooling Basics?

    Thanks again for the replies. I've been thinking about what way to go about it, and I'm thinking of actually getting a new case to start off with. A good case with 120mm fans, and compatible with watercooling, like one of the thermaltake(?) ones might actually be all that I need to lower the...

    Watercooling Basics?

    Sorry for my ignorant post! Just so you know, I'm not normally so cheeky, I admit I was kinda playing a troll to see if that would get me a response. I don't ask questions unless I can't find the answers elsewhere, I've even posted the same questions on other forums, but there has been no...

    Watercooling Basics?

    Ok...maybe if I'm more specific... With a water cooled system, are there no fans at all in the case? Is it possible to have the pump and reservoir in a different room to keep noise to a minimum? I have no idea where the bulk of the noise is coming from with the system I have at the minute, but...

    Watercooling Basics?

    Hi, I read the Introduction to Watercooling topic, but I've never even seen a watercooled system before, and barely know the basics of air cooled systems (which mine is at the mo, but it's really loud!!), so I really need to see some kind of diagrams or photos to explain how it works. My aim is...

    Thinking of recording music. Is the X-Fi Fatality for me?

    8O I don't really follow...maybe I got the wrong end of the stick...although i'm talking about production, as in the creation of music from scratch, not 'reproduction' (i guess you mean sound quality of music??) I'm kinda confused... what I said above was simply because I think Stummpy is after...

    Thinking of recording music. Is the X-Fi Fatality for me?

    Hey! Just my 2 cents, but I got the X-FI elite pro, and it absolutely rox out of my S750 speakers, but I got it for the gaming /entertainment side...the fact it was capable of being used for direct input was just a bonus to me... I used to record, but haven't in an age - but it's good to know I...

    SilenX fans..yay or nay?

    This is gonna sound really dumb, but I don't even know how to check the specs of the ones I already have! They just came pre fitted in the Lian-Li 6099 case I bought. I guess they're just cheap ones to keep the cost of the case down. I'll check out the Silverstone 120mm fan! Thanks :D

    SilenX fans..yay or nay?

    Hi! I'm going to replace my case fans - 3 x 80mm, and also put a 120mm into the perspex side panel. I really, really want uber quiet fans, and the best I seem to have found are SilenX 80mm 9db fans with the silicon vibration dampeners. I really wanna order these, but I never hear them...

    Motherboard temperature, power fan

    I wish I could help! Instead, I just stumbled across this post, and I have encountered the same thing! mine is around 48 idle, and even that gets a warning from pc probe. I think I'm putting in an extra 120mm fan on the side of my case - more due to the fact that I'm running SLI with 2 x 7800gtx...

    Dual Channel?

    cheers! Thanks for the info! To be honest, I think I'm gonna leave it as it is for a while. I've been running FEAR on max settings, and it's running beautifully. I reckon in a month or so I'll be up for doing a few modifications again, but for now it will suffice :D Just to go a little off...

    Dual Channel?

    Are you sure about that? I was only told that it had to be 2 slots that were the same color, but the way it's woked out, I can only use the 2 slots furthest from the cpu, and they're different colors. Let me know if that's possible, but things are running well...3dmark 05 got something like...

    Green lines with 7800gtx

    Cheers for the help! I thought there was something very wrong with the cards! All sorted now! I was also having trouble with F.E.A.R, but I intalled the latest forceware(?) release and it's running so well, it's unbelievable! Thanks again!

    Green lines with 7800gtx

    Hi! I just got my new pc today, but when i ran 3dmark there was a broad vertical line on the left of the screen and a horizontal green line running across the centre. No matter what game i try and run the lines are there, but they don't appear while viewing the desktop. my specs are: asus...
