    damaged pins no discrete gpu lanes

    Thank you , as I haven't seen the damage I wondered which area based on the arrow mark I bent .top corner or what ? I don't ant to do it again . I thought it went in sweetly. I also thought the UK would not leave the EU or Trump become president.

    damaged pins no discrete gpu lanes

    My new motherboard worked well using the cpu graphics however I could not get anything from 3 different graphic cards. I changed power supply , memory as well but only onboard graphics worked. So I returned my new ( faulty) motherboard. The returns department of the vendor informed me I had bent...

    Enthusiast kidnapped... Help

    I used to think I was a bit of a computer enthusiast but lately I have discovered I was wrong! Sadly on checking a few dictionaries they seem to have got it wrong too. Seems Intel have got it wrong as reading stuff on their site they refer to the "E" series of processors, E refers to extreme yet...

    flash usb maindrive

    I read this-http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DAEKHG08JH9F It seems to approach "SSD on a stick" If it has better quality nand will it take the hammering a main drive can ? I read newegg gave ssd returns 1.5% and Hard drives 5% although that's from new. I understand higher failure rates come at 3...

    flash usb maindrive

    Thanks Elixer . I am running ssd just fancy something else. I read a review using a number of different USB sticks for main drive and on the speed side they were good (at least much faster than a disk based hard drive) . The pendrives they chose were the high price versions with I think faster...

    Acoustic Dampening

    I think a copper mini tower about 200 mm high with a window in the front. But it will have to wait till after Christmas. It's doable but I want the psu and cpu fans the only thing moving the liquid no pumps. I assume if the towers top is too hot to touch then some thing is frying inside. Maybe a...

    Acoustic Dampening

    Can't see it in my living room, and it sorts the quiet bit. What I would like is someone to tell me they've had a sandy bridge i3 running in oil for 2 years now,or similar

    Acoustic Dampening

    My son has just pointed out they already make cases that absorb and radiate heat- they're called laptops.

    Acoustic Dampening

    Thanks HeXen, its that sort of truth made me look at sealed light oil. While I feel the low power rig I've got on plywood will be fine immersed I wonder how a real desktop cpu would do. I do like the idea of using the case to absorb and radiate heat. After all really I'm building a toy as I've...

    flash usb maindrive

    I am planing a small computer in a case I want to build. What problems am I looking at if I plug a usb 3 pendrive directly to the motherboard and use as the boot and main drive. Currently a 128 gb Voyager GS is favorite on price/performance.

    Acoustic Dampening

    Thank you Blain, I don't feel so crazy now. In fact my plans now seem between coy and modest. Having decided to build my own case I find I am not sure what I want from it. Features I know want are, quiet,small and novel. So quiet- acoustic material , water or air or fan less. Small, all...

    Acoustic Dampening

    I agree on the noise. At the moment I've screwed it all on to piece of A4 size plywood and I cannot hear it at all. The 300w Fsp sff power supply and SSD are also inaudible to me.Ive played simple bench marks and temperature logs. As there seems enough amps left over from the motherboard/cpu and...

    Acoustic Dampening

    Thanks Smackababy, as it seems the fans on power supply and cpu will work in oil I was hoping they might provide enough movement internally to not use a pump. Using a board with a Intel NM70I-1037U and ssd I'm thinking there won't be a lot of power/heat to deal with. The thermal properties of...

    Acoustic Dampening

    Sorry I should have mentioned simply typing "pc powersupply in oil" on Google was my starting point. I want the case to be the pump free radiator.
