    Intel i7 920, or AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE?

    Thanks for all the replies. The price of the X4 955 brings the overall cost much closer to an i7, so I think if I'm going into that price range then I would probably just make the jump to i7. I was just wondering what others felt would be the most cost effective upgrade. I currently have an...

    Intel i7 920, or AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE?

    I am trying to decide between these two. Obviously the i7 is better, but is it worth the extra cost? (around £180) I do work with illustrator and photoshop, but I don't really do any encoding or 3d rendering etc that the i7 is best for. However, I like to keep my computers for a while so it's...

    Fitting Maze 4 GPU Block on 7800GT issues

    Hi This is my first attempt at water cooling and I ordered a Maze 4 from ebay. The underside looks like this... but the holes don't match up with my 7800GT and it wont fit. I don't have the backplates below. If I did, would it then fit and which ones would I need? I can't seem to get...

    a good non UV dye?

    Hey I'm after a dye for my watercooling, just so it's easier to see rather than to look cool, but don't want to add UV lights etc so was wondering if there is any that shows under regular light and is safe in a loop?

    Hey, This is my first time watercooling and I've been looking at getting a secondhand BIP II rad, the one in question has a lot of paint flaked off the shroud, the seller has said this is because it is one of the first editions and it was a common problem. I was just wondering if there were...

    thanks again for the replies. :) basically my situation is that I currently have a Hiper 580w PSU, I don't need all the wattage and was hoping to get something with a little less to keep my case temps down and maybe mod a PSU later down the line (the hiper has a specific 80mm fan which doesnt...

    How futureproof is a Seasonic S12 430w?

    Yea, I've looked through the guide and was hoping for some users opinions too. I agree with regarts to wattage seeming to be the main selling point when it doesn't have to be and from what I've read of the S12 430w so far it seems very efficient and stable. rysher: The 600w version is more...
