And that is why I said it in gest! ;) I live in the UK... so 21C for us is a warm day! Average house temps are usually around the 14 mark.

I've just watched that video. I didn't know the numbers but it doesn't surprise me. For those that haven't seen the vid... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBeeGHozSY0 However, for the OP I think he is still better with the Intel for gaming purposes if having a few more FPS matters!

True but power doesn't matter so much in a desktop. If it was a laptop then yes power matters a lot. Also, because he is gaming that is why I said he is better going for the intel. Price was one of they questions in this thread and to be fair, your are not comparing like with like when...

I'm admittedly a bit of an AMD fanboy, so that would personally be my selection as I do not solely game. If you are solely gaming, then you probably would be better with an Intel setup. However, depending on your cooling, the 8350 can be overclocked and provide benchmarks that fall just shy of...

Thanks for the response. As it goes, I did a little more digging and found that the ud3 also has a couple of problems with audio jacks. I was so close to buying it as well. As it goes, I ended up spending a little extra and buying the Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0, which as far as I can tell, seems to...

I've got an Arctic Freezer A30 and the CPU would idle at an average of 20C at stock speed. It's very quiet and great value for money for under £30. I also have an 8350.

Hi All, I need some help selecting a motherboard. I have been considering a Sabertooth 990FX, but it seems impossible to get hold of a revision 1. I have noted that the revision 2 seems to have problems with the onboard audio and I don't really want to fork out £130 if I'm not getting the full...

Hey All, As the title says I have a a Casecom 6788. I recently upgraded to an AMD FX 8350 on a Biostart TA970 mobo. The stock cooler works well, but unfortunately it is very noisy. What I need to know is what CPU fans are available on the market. I had an Artic Cooler 7 Rev 2 in the case, but...

I came across something else just now. Have you checked device manager in Windows 7 to see if the ACPI driver is installed? If it isn't, I reckon that could be half of your problem right there!

Hey Mitch! Apologies for a belated response, but been a bit ill. I had a look at my GF's lappie and saw the options which you are referring too. So, from what I can make out it looks as though both of those settings need to be 5%. When you expand the tree for "Minimum Processor State" it...

Did a Google search and found this result... might be relevant http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/ideapad-y560-radeon-5730-black-screen-need-old-driver-version/td-p/1008821

That could be a number of things. Memory, CPU or GPU. Today's games could play on an old CRT. Also, is your PC doing anything else at the time like running P2P software, diagnostics such as antivirus or are there any other problems running in the background chewing up RAM unnecessarily?

Do you have another GPU which you can try in your rig and see if the problem persists? There is another potential problem which a lot of people overlook. Check your RAM using a MEMTEST. I had a problem where my PC would randomly freeze when gaming. I use to have 8GB of RAM, but the I found...

Right didn't know that before hehe... I don't think it's a heat problem then. I'm thinking there might be a problem with the GFX driver. Can you try rolling back to an older driver? or if you haven't tried updating the driver, that might be the solution.
