    Nesteq Nova 600W Noisy!!

    Hi people, I have just plugged in my Nesteq Nova 600W and it seems to be pummelling out a lot of noise. The specs say the fans only kick in at 65 degrees, but it certainly isn't 0dB and it's only 26 degrees. Anyone else used one of these? I think it may be the noisiest bloody component...

    Bare minimal, rock solid motherboard for overclocking

    Hi Following on from my other thread at the moment, it looks like I might be sending back my eVGA mobo. I've spent £189 on it, but there are three things bothering me: 1) I can't figure out (hence the other thread) whether this thing supports 1066Mhz RAM, as I've also ordered 1066Mhz...

    eVGA 680i with Corsair Dominator TwinX PC8500 1066Mhz??

    OK I'm a little confused, just received my eVGA 680i Motherboard today and it says 800Mhz on the front - but I've also ordered some Corsair Dominator TwinX 1066Mhz RAM. Was that pointless?! Does this mean the RAM will run at 800Mhz, not 1066Mhz? I'm confused!!! Help! Should I have just got the...

    New version of 3007WFP??

    I've been shopping around for the Dell 3007WFP, and am a little confused. Let me sum up: - I thought the Dell 3007WFP only had a DVI connector, no S-Video or VGA and no card reader - There is a new Dell, the 3007WFP-HC, which covers 92% of the colour gamut and has an 8ms response time, but I...

    Lian-Li PC-A10 - Black or Silver?!

    Alright, just building my new PC. My old case is a big, ugly, beige, plastic job. Now I'm going for a Lian-Li PC-A10. The only question is: Black or Silver?! It's £150 for one of these bad boy's, and it's kind of going to have to be a "feature" in the room, so I want it to look the best! Anyone...

    8800 GTX.. BUT: XFX, BFG, Asus, Palit, MSI, Inno3D, Gainward, eVGA... WHICH?!?!

    Someone please tell me what the difference is between them all! They are all reference boards, so surely they're pretty much identical! But they all have varying prices for the 8800 cards... and for some reason my gut instinct tells me that there is some kind of order of quality roughly...

    Corsair Dominator TwinX 8500 vs. Corsair NON-Dominator TwinX 8500??

    OK. I reckon I'm alright usually with knowing what and what not to buy when it comes to electrical fun stuff, namely because whenever I do I spend hours relentlessly scouring the net reading reviews and articles trapsing around learning about whatever it is I need to learn about. Be it a new...

    How loud is the 8800GTX's fan? Other cooling options?

    Howdy! OK, a simple question to all who own a 8800GTX: How noisy is the fan?! I hear it's very quiet, but I'm very very serious about my silence as the computer is going to be used for recording delicate vocal audio in a small room. Previously I've had passively cooled GPU's, but I'm...
