    Installed a new CPU/heat sink - PC not starting up

    the resolution to your post problem may be as simple as the tension on the CPU from the heatsink. If the heasink to too tight it may not post, so losen the heatsink somewhat and see if the computer will post.

    help building pc

    By the way a 7.9 rateing would require somewhere in the 4000 to 5000 area if not more. Would require a raid setup of SSD harddrives, Crossfire video, Very fast Ram, highly OC'ed or extreme intel CPU and then even then you may not obtain 7.9. Also no one pays much attention to the Windows index...

    Need advice for cooling 2xGTX 480

    WOW vjsmoke i have read thru the enitre thread and i am confused. I have just finished a duel loop system on my HAF932 case. Just for your info it is more likely that your CPU 920 will generate lots of heat that is benefical to keep cool, CPU's should not be in the high 70's. GPU's run hot, yes...
