RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted April 12, 2014 Deffo needs a dusting ;) Nice specs though! And I like the case too. How does that CPU cooler perform? I was looking at the single fan version before the one I got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrDeap 12 Posted April 13, 2014 The Zalman CNPS12X work as advertised. It cool very wheel, but the only issue is the clearance for the dimm stick. They need to be not be higher than the normal usual profile. Buying overclocked ram stick can be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garyjpaterson 0 Posted April 20, 2014 I wouldnt really recommend anything less than a R7 265. Anything less and performance drops dramatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herby007 0 Posted April 22, 2014 It looks like my PC has developed a rather serious problem; it doesn't like turning on anymore.Well, it turns on, but it doesn't boot to the BIOS and doesn't power my USB devices. Monitor just stays black. Everything else lights up (LED lights on case, can hear fans spinning etc). First thing I did was take out 2GB of my RAM that I got from a mate. No real logic to it, other than it was running at a different frequency and it was the easiest thing to remove from my PC. Booted straight away after that...Then today happened, and again it didn't want to boot. This time, I took out my 8 year old HDD (which, whilst having an old copy of Windows, was the device that had the boot settings) and bingo, launched first time. Scared for tomorrow though.If it doesn't boot again, I'm thinking my PSU might be playing up. If it is, then that requires a new PSU to even test my theory that it is the PSU. If it's not the PSU, then that leaves the motherboard (Unless both my HDD are the problem...fuck that). First problems I've ran into with this computer, sucks.Either way, I want to change my case and get a new HDD now. Seriously considering a SSD, need to get my research hat on.
