    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Okay, I've just completed my build and when my NCase is turned off (but still plugged into the socket) I have a very loud, high pitched buzzing sound that I can hear from a few meters away. My PC is in my bedroom so it's impossible to sleep without unplugging the socket from the wall; really...

    Trouble Installing Windows 8.1

    Thanks for your help, I've managed to get it working now. I used a generic ISO and then just activated it with my OEM key. It appears the disk was a waste of time :)

    Trouble Installing Windows 8.1

    I've managed to get the DVD working (it was the drive that was broken) so I created an ISO and used Rufus to create installation media (the windows 7 exe didn't work). However, now when I put the USB in the PC it gives me the error: "Secure Boot Violation. The system found unauthorized changes...

    Trouble Installing Windows 8.1

    I've also tried this method but because it's an OEM key it just says the key cannot be used to install a retail version of the OS.

    Trouble Installing Windows 8.1

    Hi I've just finished building my PC and I have a full OEM version of Windows 8.1 here, complete with DVD and product key. I don't have an optical drive on my new PC so I figured I'd follow these instructions (and these) to create and burn an ISO to a USB stick. However, when I put the...

    Cooler Lifted During Installation

    That's great thanks. I've got it all assembled but now the monitor is saying it's no finding a signal :/ I'll try and report back when it's working; see if the temperatures are an issue

    Cooler Lifted During Installation

    Hi I've just started building my first PC. I applied thermal paste and dropped the cooler on top and started screwing it down. Only the screws wouldn't take and during the couple of minutes when I was installing the cooler it was lifting and moving a bit. Would that have likely broken the...

    Neutron Mini PC on Kickstarter

    I just saw this and wasn't sure which forum would be best, but I figured people might be interested. I hasten to add I'm in no way connected to the project! Are people keen to pick something like this up or would you still rather build your own? Atom say they want to explore new form factors...

    Ah cool, thanks. I don't have either yet so I was just going off pictures.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Does anyone know whether the Demciflex PSU filter fits the SX600-G? It says it was made for the ST45SF but I think the fan has moved between models

    What is an EVGA GTX 780 worth now?

    I'm not keen on buying a plastic GTX 970 so I've been looking at some second hand but new condition GTX 780s and they seem to be around $424 / £265. Do people think that's a good deal or is that still too high?

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Did you have to pay any import/customs tax, XelNika? Pretty sure mine look like that too but I wasn't sure the additional charge was worth it. I'll have to get the case out the box again and check (especially since I'm going to be building it in a couple of weeks!)

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    Thanks, although I think that 'Titan' GPU I linked originally is a refurb job from Overclockers UK, not sure if it'll be worth the extra money. I was actually wondering - although a blower is recommended - the new 970s draw considerably less power and presumably generate less heat, so could I...

    NCASE M1 v2 Build Thread

    Thank you both so much for your input, that really helped. For the HDD I had been under the impression a 3.5" would fit in the front TBH, so I'm changing it out for a Western Digital 2.5", which will fit. Thanks for the heads up! I still think the 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD is enough for a while...
