wondering if i need 16Gb of ram.... Ive got a little extra cash, and im thinking of making a little upgrade, but i cant think what. the 90GB SSD was a problem -> I upgraded that to a 128GB. that was really the last thing on the list of to-do's aside from more HDD capacity which is a little too expensive to even contemplate at the moment

scaminatrix · Dec 3, 2011, 02:27 PM

What latency is your RAM Freedom? If it's a high latency I'd say to get some better RAM. With SB you could be looking at 2133MHz sorta speeds. Or 1600 @ C7/C6.

Or maybe not lol

Meh I'd still get faster RAM just to have it

FreedomEclipse · Dec 3, 2011, 06:09 PM

its your regular 9-9-9-15 stuff. I'm sure i could tune the timings up a little more, but im really too lazy.

well theres a few things i had in mind that i could do with my rig.

swap out my all my 140mm fans again for some Silverstone Air penetrators. that run only 100rpm faster (total waste of money)

or buy 2x5400RPM Scythe typhoons and a fan controller to replace the 1850rpm GTs on my Antec 920 cooler. (again another stupid and waste of money option as i dont even need the extra cooling)

Im started thinking about possibly upgrading some peripherals but everything here doesnt need replacing and it working condition. keyboard hasnt started jamming yet and my mouse still functions well for gaming.

the only upgrades i really need is the moment is a few 2TB Samsung F4s to replace a few of my current drives that have no need for super speed. so im generally looking at making my pc more power efficient. Problem with that is price of hard drives are abit OTT currently just like everywhere else.

SCAN claimed to do a 1TB 7200rpm SATA III seagate barracuda for £84, but that goes upto £92/95 as soon as you clock on the website to have a look at it

Not that I would actually buy a seagate drive, but i was just curious. as most places are still charging at least £120'ish for 1TB Samsung F3's. Well....£20'ish is still £20 and its £20 off so you still save money in a sense. but im waiting for prices to drop back to £40 for a 1TB

You could always buy a second optical drive, that's always useful, maybe a Blu-ray writer in case Hard drive prices refuse to come back down?

FreedomEclipse · Dec 3, 2011, 06:34 PM

True - but again, I dont really need one at the moment.

a blu-ray writer still costs about £70-80'ish on amazon. as for blank blu ray discs to write to, the 'cheaper' brands seem to be having a some write issues. and £40 for 25 discs just seems like a lot.

Not a bad idea though if i wanted to offload some of the data from my pc and archive it. only problem with this is, i tend to lose my discs as I have them all over the place.

----

thats a pretty good idea actually. just thinking about it, theres a lot of stuff like old anime or music that i could just offload. and save a lot of space.

Yeah, not only will you gain the ability to watch Blu-rays on your PC, buy a cheap pack of Double layer Disks for £10-15 and it works out a lot cheaper for files you aren't regularly copying or moving around

How did you get Anime in a digital Format? i struggle to find DVD copies of them, as it is, i'm irritated i can't get the soundtracks to any without importing them from Japan and paying £25 for postage

Download the 'F3' bios from here to your desktop. disconnect from the internet, Disable your firewall, right click it and set it to run as admin

my understanding is that, that exe file is an automated program that will flash the board for you automatically once youve started it up - many hardware vendors do this, but for those on the more advance EFi bios system it doesnt really matter much as we can just download the bios file onto a usb stick and flash the board right from inside the bios as there are options there for us.

the F3 bios should give you BD support. a lot of positive reports from other users say that they can use BD CPUs after the F3 bios flash

Thanks freedom but the problem is i forgot to flash my mobo before i sell my x4 cpu, now i've got BD chip but doesn't boot up,i don't have any chip here to boot my rig..

LifeOnMars · Dec 3, 2011, 07:04 PM

Ok, I kinda broke my 360 controller whilst playing FIFA 12 (wonder how that happened

)

Cheapest place in UK to order one ? Preferably black please. I use it for alot of the console ports and racing games so I'm a bit screwed without it.

@ freedom: A blu ray drive doesnt sound like a bad idea. Back up movies and keep a database or spreadsheet of whats on what disk.

If your willing to spend a little get the Razer Onza its worth it if not, wireless or USB?

i bought mine for like £10 from play.com a while ago

Does the color really matter?

All of my Xbox stuff is from before 2010, as i don't care what Microsoft say, i am not paying so you can fix the mistakes you made on your own consoles with your own software updates

not a lot you can do about that that. Easiest thing to do would be to hit up ebay for a cheap Sempron 140 - theres one thats currently on auction going for £13, if not then theres one on buy it now for £20.

Its probably gonna cost you the same amount for you to send your mobo with the cpu cooler to someone who has the CPU to do the flashing for you and send it back so its a bit of a waste of time.

Just bid for the £13 CPU and good luck.

KeAnS · Dec 3, 2011, 07:40 PM

Thanks! Btw don't have account on ebay atm.
