This is the WORST rap about Tech EVER EVER EVER!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_6PpLA2tH7w

Thanks for the advice. I looking at the benchmarks I think I will probably go for 2 x 670 OC.

Hi, I currently have 2x6950 in crossfire and I am currently to upgrade to one of the new Nvidia Geforce 670/680/690 cards. I have a 30" monitor running at 2560x1600. My 6950s are great and I am run 90% of games with full detail but they start to struggle when AA is enabled. I have £900 to...

I bought a pair Studio Beats when they were launched in 2009 based on a glowing from from Which (a UK consumer magazine) who said they were probably the best headphones on the market!!! Initially I was very happy with the headphones. I tend to listen to mainly Hip-Hop/RnB and Drum & Bass so...

Exactly!! The average consumer will be a PC off the shelf and will never upgrade it, never install new drivers, never update the anti-virus software that came free with it. Then in a few years time when the PC has become so slow it is unusable and they haven't got an IT friend to help them...

Yeah that would be a killer product. Not sure an upgradeable console would work. History has shown that console upgrades don't do well (Megadrive CD spring to mind) Just make it powerful enough in the first place so that you wouldn't need to upgrade too often. 360 is 5yrs old now and still...

Remember most console games run at 720p (1280x720). Even a fairly basic PC can run a game with max settings at the resolution with a decent framerate. Very few console games run at 1080p. In fact some console games run at sub 720p (Halo and COD spring to mind) and rely on the TV to upscale...

I think for someone looking to just play games, nothing else, then a console is a better option. Any fool can put a disk in a console and press the on button. Playing online is just as easy. I don't think it is about the price. Nowadays you can get a half decent PC without needing to break...

I think it depends on the case design. Some people find have the fans as exhaust gives them lower temps, some get better temps with fans as intake and others there is not difference. I have 3 fans at the top of my case which are set to exhaust so that works well for me. Here are some pics...

I tried that but I found the temps increased by 10c. It must be due to the way the 800D case is designed.

Sure I will post some pictures tonight when I get home from work, though remember I am using a Corsair 800D case so I have heaps of room. Things might be a bit tighter in your case.

Thanks. It just goes to show, as good as the H50, you can't beat a full blown water cooling system. But I am very happy with it because it is so simple to install and requires zero maintenance.

Just re-enabled HT and did some heavy duty encoding at temps were in the 73-80c range with 50% cpu usage across all 8 cores so I think I will leave HT on. Idle was still at 50c. Looks like the extra fan on the RAD has helped.

Right..... Situation is still the same but I am comfortable with it, due to the fact that is ambient temp where my PC is very rather high as there is a mini heatwave in London at the moment and my house is very hot. I reseated the H50, with fresh thermal paste, installed a second fan on the RAD...
