Not sure if this is the right section, if not apologies and could a mod move it to the correct one please. Motherboard Asus M2N - MX SE Plus. 160 gb sata 1 hd (system disk) 2 gb 800 ram. Computer used only for surfing the net and the odd letter or two A elderly friend has asked me to look at...

Hi Jim, thought I'd answer you to to let you know what happened. I think I have it sorted now, got the new cooler fitted and everything seems to be running ok ...I think. The cooler wouldn't fit because of the stupid bling on top of the memory sticks. Careful prising apart of the high tinny...

Good news is postman just arrived with the new cooler, will report back once fitted, hopefully with a good improvement.

Hi Jim I've not overclocked anything on this setup. I got the new mobo, cpu and stock cooler last week, after a few days I decided a new cooler was in order cos the stock one is noisy and from what I've read elsewhere is not too great a cooler. I've not touched anything in the bios, just looked...

While awaiting delivery of a new cooler Noctua NH-L12 I thought I'd do some temperature checks on my new system currently Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H & AMD A10 6800K cpu still using the stock cooler (noisy). CPU temps in bios jump between 65c - 67c, in Windows 7 using HW Monitor I'd expect temps a...

Sony RX 100 would suit all your needs. I sold all my dslr gear to have one. Fits in shirt pocket, I'm sure there will be plenty room in a ladies handbag/purse, fits in jeans pocket. Low light functions it super, quality pics in Raw allowing you room for lots of adjustments or Jpg. Takes clear...

Thanks Karadjgne, got one on order now from Amazon

Of all the coolers I looked at I don't know how I missed that one, looks ideal for the job, thanks a million. Do you know if it needs a backplate put onto the rear of the above motherboard ?

Case is Trendsonic Corona http://www.redchipit.co.uk/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=122&category_id=32, not a gaming machine but I'm not too serious into games. I'd need to leave the side panel off to fit a coolermaster.

Well I've had my new Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H with A10 6800K cpu and stock cooler a week now and yes the whirring is starting to drive me nuts, when it really works hard encoding a movie etc is sounds like the kettle boiling. :) Time now for a new quieter cooler. Unfortunately the Trendsonic...

Thanks for replying, I guess the next I better start researching coolers, something so i can maybe overclock a few notches.

Just installed a Amd A10 6800k cpu to a newly installed Gigabyte ga-f2a88xm-hd3 motherboard and 8 gb Corsair Vengeance ram I have the stock cooler which came with the CPU. I will be changing it cos it is horribly noisy. CPU is running at default settings 4.10ghz. Tonight I decided to run Prime...

Thanks Cin19, Found out I can use a molex adapter to the 4 pin. a few pennies is better than a new psu :-)

In the middle of assembling Gigabyte F2 A88XM HD3 mobo, got a problem with power connectors from PSU. fitted the 20 pin +4 pin together in the 24 pin socket. Problem is the 12v atx socket is a 8 socket type but only a 4 pin plug for the 12 atx as was on the old motherboard. Do I need another...

I have my brand new AMD A10 6800K cpu and mobo on the desk beside me in its packaging, reading the leaflet it says thermal compound. On the cpu packaging it says thermal compound included. There is no thermal compound in the box so I assume it is pre-applied. However looking at the heatsink...
