    Can someone tell me if this hard drive is ok? SMART Test result.

Do you/ anyone else here, have any recommendations for a cheap drive to be used in a 2nd PC & one that has at least an "OK" speed? Also I just did some more testing after my post and I...

    Where can i buy a capacitor for ASUS M5A97 motherboard

    I don't really know much about the components but I've been leaving this aside for too long and I believe all my motherboard needs is a new capacitor in the place of the no longer existent old one. I am in no way a pro at putting small components on but I do know the basics of it.

    Is my Hard drive Ok?

    I have tried it like that (with the side panel off) but I read somewhere else that if a hard drive is at one temperature all the time then it is probably just normal and won't affect the usability of the drive and won't affect speeds. But what do i know, or i wouldn't be asking on here about...

    Is it worth it to change from sl9um to slacr q6600??

    I know i didnt say this on my other posts but the board i tried the bsel mod on was a crappy foxconn mobo but i think i know how to do the bios thing. adn btw my budget isnt massive like (im from uk so £15) would probs be max. but i guess a better cpu would work better with my gtx 550 ti.
