Hi. I've seen this issue posted everywhere, yet I cannot fix this. I can access the bios, but nothing after that. Windows (8) will not boot and I only see a black screen with a blinking underscore. I am unable to boot from a cd drive or usb either. CMOS has been reset, and I've tried booting...

So I bought liquid cooling a while back - Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer, and it is intended to be used in a push/pull configuration, but I can't do this because my case (Zalman Z11 Plus) is too small, unless I remove the top exhaust fan. So, what I did instead was put the radiator in first so...

Hello. I really want to overclock, but I have some questions. First of all, I'm hoping to get about 4.5GHz. What is a recommended voltage for this? And what other bios settings need changing? I have selected 3 cpu coolers as well, which do you think I should go for? Artic Cooling Freezer 7...

A continuation from here. (didn't know if I could bump) You know what to do. Direct link: http://gfxf.net/images/2013/03/17/jBxaV.png

Simply post the temperatures of your hardware under load or idle. It'd be interesting to see how cool certain parts stay. IDLE Video card is at 31c, don't know why it isn't listed. Your turn.

Hello! I've had my PC Specialist desktop for 11 days now, and I've been using it for many hours a day since. So, here I am sharing my experience so far. Firstly, the specifications: Case: Zalman Z11 Plus CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7750 RAM: 4GB Samsung Dual-DDR3...

I just got a Kingston ssdNOW V300 60gb today. I've transferred Windows, and ran some benchmarks. Write speed is at just 84mbps, slower than my standard HDD. Read is at a respectable 290mbps though. How can I improve this? Does it matter that I didn't mount the SSD inside the case? It is just...

Hi. I just install new ram, 2x4gb, and Speccy reports 669MHz from them. Is it supposed to be half, or should it read 1333MHz?

Hello. Do you think I can safely overclock the AMD FX-6300 using the stock HSF, even a little bit? What about the HD 7750? No additional cooling at all. Thanks.

Anyone here playing this? It's probably the biggest reason I purchased a gaming PC. It looks incredible. A refreshing change from Call of Duty for me I'm sure.

The Z11 Plus is the case I have ordered, and I definitely want to add my own ssd. I know you can fit an ssd behind the mobo as seen here, but I'm wondering, will I have to remove the mobo itself and place the ssd in first? Or can I just work from the back? Do you think it would be easier...

I've seen this debate all over the web, and hopefully someone here can clear this up. The desktop I configured here uses the 4gb Samsung ram, which I'm almost certain is this...

Is there usually an unused SATA cable inside when you buy a desktop from here? I want to buy an SSD separately and I'm wondering if I need to buy a cable.

I love these threads. Post your desktop with any other details you want to add. http://i.imgur.com/kRck0Fa.png Arch w/ LXDE This is my turbo desktop, for when I just want maximum speed and minimal clutter.

I did for my order, and I'm wondering how reliable this is. If you've paid for this, please tell me if you got your order before noon.
