    Best aftermarket cooler for 4850/4870?

    I was a bit sceptical about the S1 Accelero but bought one as they were dirt cheap and fitted it to my 8800GTS 512mb. WOW! idle temp dropped from 56c to 38c and that was on passive, no fan. At load it went to 48c. I bought the added fan kit too just in case the passive cooling couldnt cope. I...

    Direct3D error 0x0x8007000e error help ??

    Hi has anyone figured out whether you can get TV out through the VGA socket yet ? I noticed there is a TV-OUT1 connector on the board but a distinct lack of information regarding how to connect it to your TV. Searching for the illusive HDTV-10 card mentioned in the manual is fruitless. I...

    Logitech Z5500's - No power?

    Sounds like you answered your own question. The PSU is knackered. If when you plug the PSU in listen to it with your ear, if it doesnt buzz then there is your answer. If you check the amp and voltage rating on the label on the PSU you may be able to buy a replacement from your local...

    Comments on the Auzentech cards?

    The X-Fi drivers are pants especially for 64 bit OS. I just installed the latest 27/09/07 patch for the X-Fi prelude and they work a treat ! I previously had a X-Fi Fatality and had all manner of problems when using it with XP X64. Admittedly it was fine with XP 32 bit. I have noticed...
