    Need PSU advice, silence is important =D

    Hi there. I'm in the market for a new PSU to replace my Corsair TX650W. The main reason for this is that my current PSU has a loud fan and whistles a little :mad: I actually bought a Corsair AX860 about a month ago. It was perfect, but after a day it began to coil whine whilst on idle which is...

    OC 955 to 3.8ghz as well as RAM...

    I have OC my 955BE to 3.83ghz with a voltage of 1.38/1.39 on load. The voltage when it is idling is about 1.42 sometimes a little less. Not sure why the voltage changes from idle to load but it works well. Done all the overclocking in the BIOS. All I did was up the bus speed to 239, left the...

Why is my fps so low? Also, it is very irregular. So if I look one way I get 40fps then when I start moving...

    Monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse

    Right well as the title suggests I'm looking for a good monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse. I have a budget of £300, which is probably useless as most of you are American. Anyway, I've been searching and have found some options. They'll all be used for gaming on my new PC which is coming...
