    power LED header

    I have a thermaltake case which has the chassis fans and an LED on the front all powered by molex connectors, these make a mess of my cable management so at least with the front LED I was planning on wiring it in parallel with the power LED so it can be powered by the motherboard header and make...

    i7 3770k stock speed disappointing temps

    I tested it at 3.9 and I was getting 63 degrees, still about 5 degrees more than I had hoped for but much better than before and 81 watts, which is still 5 more than the original i7, makes me wish I hadn't swapped it now haha interestingly the vcore was the same at load at 3.9 and 4.2, so it...

    i7 3770k stock speed disappointing temps

    yes this is true, I would think a machine was stable with intel burn test but when rendering in lightwave it would crash after a few minutes, I am just using it for temperatures at the moment though, not stability if I go a bit more on the DVID my machine won't boot, so I must be somewhere...

    i7 3770k stock speed disappointing temps

    ok, I loaded optimized defaults, set the vcore to normal, which apparently is 1.26, this opened up the DVID option, which I then set to -0.13 I also set turbo boost to enabled and changed all the cores to 42 this is what I'm getting now does this look alright to you guys? the temperatures are...

    i7 3770k stock speed disappointing temps

    my cooler is a phanteks ph-tc14pe, I'm not overclocking yet my load temps are mid 70s - with this cooler I should be getting 60 at most thermal paste is mx-4 this is my second 3770k, sent the first one back after I was getting over 70 degrees at load, but this new one is even worse core temp...

    new PC makes previously silent PSU coil whine

    update went all out and bought a HX750, the coil whine is still there but much less, most of the time it's only just detectable if I put my ear right up by it, I guess I hit on an unlucky combination of components

    new PC makes previously silent PSU coil whine

    both cards? even the one that didn't make any noise a week ago? I don't think so to my ear the noise is definitely coming from the PSU, but only under graphical load I have tested with onboard graphics and it is silent, so it's just when powering the cards it would seem like I said this PSU...

    new PC makes previously silent PSU coil whine

    no, well I ran intel burn test it only makes noise when the graphics card is in use also I tried disabling turbo boost to see if that made any difference and it didn't

    775 motherboard with new gfx card

    update got all the bits installed and working, but the PSU makes a hell of a squealing noise when the graphics card is under load, has anyone had any experience of this before?

    775 motherboard with new gfx card

    it ran arkham city and max payne 3 all maxed out and and the witcher 2 pretty close, so yeah I think it's held up well, the lack of DX11 is probably the most noticable shortfall but then there aren't a huge amount of games out there that make good use of it thanks for the suggestions, I was...

    775 motherboard with new gfx card

    I should mention my current PSU has been in daily use for 4 - 5 years, so perhaps doesn't put out the same power it used to, but if you still think it'll do I'll be very happy to keep it I will be using this PC for graphics work which includes 3D modelling, animation, very high resolution image...
