Been using ocuk for about 3 yrs now, yeah, they aren't the cheapest for everything, but I have never had a problem with them, and their service is what keeps me coming back, can't fault them really...

I have always bought AMD as they offered a half decent price vs performance point, my first cpu was the K6-2 series. I have now switched to X79 i7 3930K, as I was waiting for bulldozer and decided that I couldn't wait for piledriver to hopefully improve things. Bulldozers failure is bad for...

For those in the UK, OCUK are selling the C2 stepping for the 3930K as I bought one...

Thank you for taking the time to post this I have 2 x Crucial M4 128GB drives, which will be for the OS and most used apps. Im not bothered about redundancy, as I back everything upto the the cloud anyway, so I will save my money with the drive My main concern was that with the 2 SSD's...

Yeah, but Intel are bringing RAID TRIM support in their driver soon :) As for the WD drives http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-701229.pdf The PDF seems to say that it might be possible Applications Desktop PCs, high capacity external storage, and NAS...

OK, I will wait for clarification and see what google turns up Thx for the heads up - appreciated

Cool - looks like Im going to buy another drive then :-)

I have two Crucial M4 SSD's that Im going to set up in raid 0 for my OS and a couple of essential apps. I have a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s HDD for storage and other apps such as steam etc. Im wondering wether to get another WD 2TB drive to set up my storage drives in Raid 0...

lol - it is a nice tidy build, but it is hard not to have a nice build in a tj11!!! thx for the pics Yukikaze, I have a Xaser sitting at work stuffed with 4 x 470's crunching seti and you are right - it is so ugly!!

Wow guys - thx for all the replies, certainly have some thinking to do now.. One loop with2 rads seems to be the way to go then Sneekypeet, what case is that? Nice tidy build by the way..

OK, so Im guessing that Im actually asking 2 questions.. Im planning an upgrade to x79 and Im also going to watercool for the first time Im guessing that I will need 2 loops? loop 1 for the cpu/mobo chipset - maybe a 240?? loop 2 for the 2 x 470 gfx cards - is a 360 enough here? Can...

Thanks for all the suggestions and help Its the PSU..:banghead: Plug my tagan into it and everything is OK. One thing I wouldnt mind knowing is when to use 20pin or 24pin connectors on the main power connector on the mobo? My tagan is quite old and has a 20pin connector + 2 x 4 pin...

this gets worse... I managed to borrow a X2 4850e which gigabyte list as supported in BIOS F1, so I should be OK and I have the same problem, no output to monitor. Im going to have to take apart my HTPC, and try using that PSU, and maybe a stick of ram to eliminate where the fault is. No TV...

Yeah, Im off to find a 2nd hand old model now, dont want to spend too much in case that is not it..

Right, I have done a bit more research and I think I might have found a possible cause? The CPU I am using is a Athlon X2 5050e and it is not listed on the gigabyte web site at all for this mobo, the nearest match is a X2 4850e, would having an unsupported cpu cause a blank screen like I am...
