Hi, I'm running a small media server with W8.1 and i have it sleep most of the time but it keeps waking up all the time, Seems almost randomly aswell. It comes back on within 1 minute of going to sleep. If i do powercfg /lastwake it always just displayed this: I need to be able to wake it...

They are both silent cards, Both have just heatsinks no fans. Is the Ultimate not better?

Which 7750 is better out of the 2 i posted?

Hi, I'm looking at getting a new graphics card for my media PC. Doesn't need to play games or anything just playing back 3D Blu-Rays etc, I've tried a few lower spec cards like GT610 and i get stuttering every so often so wanted to get something a little quicker. Main requirement is must be...

Hello, I have a media server running windows 8.1, I sometimes use it to extract files from RAR archives and as it isn't very quick so can sometimes take a while, Is there a way i can add WinRAR as an exception so if windows sees that it is open it won't goto sleep ? Or can i some how not make...

Ok thank you for your help!

Hi, I just got a new motherboard which supports 1600mhz ram but my old ram is Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3. Would i see much of an increase if i bought 4GB 1600mhz RAM, Or is it not worth doing? Would the speed of ram effect things like extracting archives (rar files) etc ? Thanks

Ok thank you for the advice, Appreciate the help. Just unplugged the fan and ran Prime95 for a couple of minutes on the maximum heat setting and this is the results: Are the temperatures for the HDD (around 35C) and GFX (around 50C) ok? The room its in isn't that warm only around 19C, In...

Hello, I'm trying to build a server / media player that is as quiet as possible, I'm currently just running it with one Noctua Silent fan at the top of the case extracting air out. I have a NOFAN-CR-80EH Passive CPU Cooler and a Seasonic Platinum Fanless PSU. The server is only running a...

Their connector is horizontal though mine is vertical so mine hits the side of the case. The cord was already pre-installed inside the case, There was an extension cable inside the case to the back so you can still plug the cord in at the back. Also as for raising the PSU there is literally no...

yeah maplin is useless. Think i'm just going to have to either pay the delivery cost or just live with the wire being the way it is.

Yeah ive spent ages looking through Google, this place sells them with the wire to the left: http://www.stayonline.com/iec-c13-to-c14-angled-cords.aspx But as im in the UK i expect shipping would cost alot.

Ok thanks for that info, Ive always searched for them using the term Kettle Lead. Can you suggest any other solutions to get abit of slack, Do they make wires that come out on the other side of the connector? I can't seem to find any.
