    Which CPU cooler : Stock Intel or Zalman FSB Quiet CPU Cooler - CNPS90F

    I'm also from SA, water cooling is expensive, but in the long run it's worth it You can get the Coolermaster SEIDON 120V PLUS for R680

    Cannot change display size from 1024 x 768

    Your desktop doesn't have to have a GPU installed, you have a onboard GPU on your motherboard 1) Google your motherboard make and model with the word "Drivers" 2) Go to the official website if possible. 3) Download the display driver and install. 4) You might need to restart Hope it works

    Having trouble playing 1080p videos

    1) Make sure your drivers are up to date. 2) might be worth it to clean your laptop's heat sinks if you are up for it.. (please watch youtube videos on how to open your laptop) that's if you choose to do so. Playing games won't damage your laptop unless you've over clocked 3) Memory=Ram...

    I personally have heard the fan is loud, but the Zalman will bring your temp just below your standard cooler. Would say it's more about the look than actual cooling to me, if you compare it to the standard one... Temp will drop, but not by much. Rather save up and get water cooling..

    RAID 5 with SSD as cache

    Hi 6 x 3TB Seagate barracuda drives 1 x SSD I have built a RAID 5 with five of the drives and keeping one as a spare. Right after the initialization of the RAID completed my copy speed is very slow, 10 MB/s from internal drive to RAID. I have my OS on a SSD, thinking of using a part of my SSD...
