    Asus P8P67-I Sandy Bridge Mini ITX

    Jumping the gun a bit, but does any one know if this board will support the upcoming ivy bridge, when the die gets shrunk to 22nm?

    SilverStone SG07 - New Mini-itx case

    I've read that the maximum clearance for a heatsink is 117mm with the AP181. Does anybody know what the maximum height is without the fan? Over at bit-tech they managed to squeeze a 152mm-tall Skalli in there. Looks like there may be another 2-3mm? Can anyone measure it please?

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Returns to Ebuyer - you have to send them an RMA request to return any incorrectly supplied/faulty or damaged items. I maintain that the item was incorrectly supplied, as the picture of the card on their site differed from that supplied...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Never plugged the card into the pc, had to pay return postage, serves me right for being too click happy, and buying stuff on-line way too late at night...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Just to let you know, I have RMA'd the card this morning. The budget I have for the new card is £300 for everything (including DP adapter £20). This needs to support a 3 DVI monitor eyefinity setup. So here's hoping that there will be some good deals in the weeks ahead...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Will these 6000 series cards still require an active display port dongle (when using 3 DVI monitors) for eyefinity? I was going to buy one of the new single link ones from Sapphire...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    That XFX model is "HD587X-ZNFC" apparently if it was HD587A - the A means that it is a reference model. So do you think there is going to be a big leap in performance with the 6000 series?

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    I didn't realise that there were new cards due out at the end of the month... I am going to return the card, and wait for a couple of weeks and see what happens with prices etc. I have just found this PowerColor card , the reviews say that cooler makes it very quiet...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    Yep I think you're right maybe "lemon" is not the right term to use... What I meant, is have I bought something that isn't very good and would I be better off spending my money elsewhere? I have just seen a Sapphire 5870 for £269, and am wondering if I would be better off with that...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    I've just been beating myself up over the last couple of days wondering if I have made the right decision. Thanks for clarifying the software voltage regulation for me, I'm not that bothered about overclocking, just want to play some games and get the biggest bang for my buck. There is...

    Have I bought a Lemon?

    I have just bought a HD5850 XFX Black Edition (comes with the egg cooler). I got a good price for it (£204) and it comes with Assassins Creed. After doing a lot of reading, it seems that firstly this is a non reference design and secondly that xfx tend to cheap out a bit and remove all of...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    Are you using a fan on the geminII s? Do you think for the sg05 that a top down cooler is better than a tower push/pull cooler. I just thought that there might be room to fit an 80mm fan on the back with the power supply removed. The reason I'd like to go for the sg05 is that it has the...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    hmmm... You're probably right, but I have been looking at cases for months and this one looked interesting. All of the really small cases either don't look quite right, have airflow issues which will make them noisy or are too expensive. Do you have any suggestions that I might not have...
