    Advice on a HD 7970

    OK, I did further research and that seems to be the general consensus. Yet to find someone saying it won't work. I'll go ahead and ask them to change the order, thanks. :)

    Advice on a HD 7970

    I am situated in Australia, so my main choices are Umart (who I ordered through) or PCCG. Umart do better prices on shipping so I usually use them. I do plan on over clocking and maybe even water cooling, but more importantly I want at least three DP's, so I was wondering if a simple mini DP to...

    Advice on a HD 7970

    Last week I ordered an ASUS HD 7970 DCII ($460) but it was taking a long time for them to confirm the order so I emailed them and they tell me now they won't have any in until the 21st. Now, I have the decision to wait on the shop, pick an alternative or remove the card from the order and source...

    Time for an upgrade

    Hi guys, first time I've been back here since this thread, thought I'd give an update. I wound up ordering this: - Intel i5 3570k It's been brilliant, no reviewing necessary here - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Also been brilliant, zero issues and easily OC'd the CPU to 4.5 stable although it ran a...

    Time for an upgrade

    I'm more convinced by the hundreds of build success stories I've read on all sorts of different forums than a few critic reviews. I think I will get much, much better value out of the specs of this board than the others available and all the people saying that they have one in their PC working...

    Time for an upgrade

    I have seen very little evidence supporting this compared to how many people I've seen writing about how happy they are with their board. I think I'll go with ASRock, if I get a bodge board I'll send it back as it comes with a 3 year warranty. Okay thanks guys, I'll go with the Samsung.

    Time for an upgrade

    The thing is I want 2 fans for the radiator, at least 2 intakes and 2 exhausts. If I mounted the Antec 620 to one of the intakes and used the fan that comes with it that means I'd need 4 other fans minus whatever the case comes with. After thinking about that though I realise that CM case...

    Time for an upgrade

    Just a quick update, I've changed my mind a little on the upgrade mostly due to a slightly larger budget. I'm still waiting on that PSU to turn up, according to PCCG they are still awaiting payment but I suspect they've lost my money, so I've sent them receipts with the question mark on why it's...

    High-end Racing Wheel Comparison: Logitech G27 vs Fanatec GT3RS vs Fanatec Turbo S

    Bump I'm getting into my sims pretty good now (mainly iRacing) and the G25 with standard pedals is just not cutting it anymore. I really want a Fanatec wheel but you can't get one in Australia without getting royally ripped off. Example, the cheapest I can get a 911 GT3 wheel with CSR elite...

    Oh shit. Good thing I have an Antec Neo Eco 520W on the way.

    Time for an upgrade

    Yeah I realise that but when you think about it after a few boot ups and days of routine task, you would be getting the same performance as an install plus a boost to anything you open regularly on the HDD. Anyway, I'll decide on that later, there are a few other things that need money first.

    Time for an upgrade

    It does have all fans in, but the 120mm ones are getting pretty noisy and I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped turning tomorrow. What are the cons to the cache route? I'm still on the fence about it, I've got a while to decide lol.

    Time for an upgrade

    It is a Thermaltake Soprano, it is pretty old but I don't think it is the case which the PSU came with, it has an 80mm spot on the side, then 120mm front/rear. Okay, makes sense, I'll go with that one. Also makes sense, but for only $6 I may as well get it, even if it runs slightly under...

    Time for an upgrade

    After doing some more reading, I've discovered that the B75M chipset has everything that I need, the only concerning downfall is overclocking limitations but I'm not too worried about overclocking. I've also decided that considering some higher end GPUs demand 550W I want at least 600W for a...

    Time for an upgrade

    Woah! The PSU is only about 5 years old, I guess you get what my Dad probably paid for. I will definitely be getting a new one then, and I've had a quick look around, does this one look good to you guys? I like the idea of having it modular and I had a look at some higher end cards I'd consider...
