    What tech-related role best describes you?

    I've put myself down as an enthusiast, and tech is probably my biggest hobby, but I also fit into the student category for computing, and I've also done some IT technician work part time for a while now.

    SpeedFan Temp Problems?

    I'm using the stock CPU fan and only one of the case fans are rubber mounted, so I guess that's where the noise is coming from. I'll get AMD Overdrive and see if that works any better.

    SpeedFan Temp Problems?

    My system is quite loud, and I've been trying to get SpeedFan set up for a while now with no luck. I don't really understand any of the options and all of the online tutorials have options which I don't have for the automatic fan control. My Temp1, which I presume is my CPU is at 76 Celsius and...

    Best Headset for £75 ($125)

    I've seen these, but I think they look so bad. I might go with these anyway though, I can get them cheaper than the Func ones :)

    Best Headset for £75 ($125)

    I don't really have a preference between open or closed, but I'd like something over-ear that I can both game with and also remove the mic and listen to music with. Sound quality isn't too big of a deal for me, it's the practicality that I'm more bothered about.

    Decent PC Case for £80?

    Hey guys, I built my first PC last summer and I used the cheapest case possible because I ran out of money. Now I've decided that I should get a new one with some more features and better cooling than my current setup. There are a couple of things which I'd like: - USB 3.0 front IO, one...
