    Graphics card virus?

    Seller has a good rep, 98% positive over 1700 transactions. I’m hoping it was just some coincidence and my computer had a brain fart. Can’t see as many people would know how to put a rootkit on a graphics card, and my anti virus hasn’t found anything since I removed the Titan and went back to my...

    Help with Corsair HX 1050 PSU

    Hi there, Basically, I’ve sold the Corsair HX1050 PSU from my old system on eBay, and I listed it as being 80+ Gold standard. Buyer is now thinking it might only be Silver. I’ve looked all over the Internet and I’m confused as hell because half the sources I looked at list it as gold and the...

    Issue connecting cpu cooler

    Ok thanks for the help. I will try both ways and see how I get on. I'm guessing the fans that came with the case and connected to the hub are pwm so I'll start by connecting the hub to the cpu header and the h115i to the hub. Thanks again for all the help, this website and you people are awesome!

    Issue connecting cpu cooler

    Ok so if I can't turn any other headers to pwm would the best thing to do be to run the fan hub to CPU FAN header (as recommended in the case instruction manual) and then connect the H115i to the 1st slot on the hub? Because otherwise if I plug either the hub or H115i into another header on the...

    Issue connecting cpu cooler

    Hi there, I'm doing a new build and am having an issue with connecting my Corsair H115i liquid cpu cooler. In the instructions it said to connect it up to the CPU FAN header, but the case I'm using (Phanteks Enthoo Luxe) uses a fan hub that also needs to be connected here. My motherboard (MSI...

    PCI-e spacing for sli gpus

    Thanks for the help, I'll drop the 2nd card into a lower slot and grab a longer hb sli bridge, if there's no performance gain there's no point melting one of my gpu's :-)

    PCI-e spacing for sli gpus

    Thanks for the replys everyone. Looked at my mobo manual again and it all makes a bit more sense now. So given that I could take advantage of pci-e slot 1 and slot 3 for x16/ x16 (I think) would this give me notciably better performance? Or given that I'm only air cooling the cards and the gap...

    PCI-e spacing for sli gpus

    Hi there, I've recently gone and got myself the parts for a new pc build and needed some advice on gpu spacing in the pci-e slots for an sli setup. Basically, I want to get an hb sli bridge but can't decide if I should be using the two x16 slots for best performance, or using one of the cards in...
