  1. One of two 280x's fans stopped working

    Yeah definitely might be that the fan had stopped worked before. I fiddled around with it a bit more and it starts (slowly) spinning at 60% fan speed and revs up to full speed at 70%, could it be that there is a problem with the fan's power regulation in the card? The other issues are very...

  2. One of two 280x's fans stopped working

    The CPU, mobo, PSU and RAM are about 5 years old. Graphics card 2 years tops. I tried removing everything (HDD etc) like you suggested but still no cigar. What I did find out however, is that if I set the fan control to 'manual' in the Sapphire TRIXX software, the 2nd fan also starts spinning...

  3. One of two 280x's fans stopped working

    Hey all, Today I received my new soundcard (Creative Sound Blaster Z). It is a PCIe x1 card but as those slots were covered by my graphics card, I put it in the second PCIe x16 slot. After I did this and booted, my computer flipped out: it flashed a message that the CMOS got reset, I got a BSOD...

  4. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    Hadn´t thought about that yet, thanks. I´ll try that and swapping out the screen soon. After that I´ll try reinstalling Windows see if that helps.

  5. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    According to http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_radeon_r9_290_directcuii_oc_review,9.html the power consumption of the Asus version isn't much higher and it never happens during (high-load) gaming so that's weird...

  6. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    Alright I've tested it like you suggested (left the 290 in though) and it didn't happen anymore. Therefore it's probably either the adapter or the 290 but I don't think I've got a way to test that. Also the fact that the whole computer crashes after a while suggests that it isn't just the...

  7. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    Sorry I was wrong - it is a DVI-D to VGA adapter. Reason I can't use a passive adapter like that is because the signal has to be converted into analog. Yeah that's why I'm so puzzled. Sometimes the audio keeps playing for a while but then it stops. Stuff like Skype also keeps working for a...

  8. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    Passive adapters don't work for a VGA-DVI-D conversion so I had to go with this one. Drivers are up to date and everything is properly seated. EDIT: Fixed DVI-I --> DVI-D.

  9. Screen randomly turns black computer keeps running

    Hey all, I have a strange issue with my new computer and I can't find a solution anywhere. For about three months my screen randomly stops working (turns black). My computer keeps running and the sound keeps working for about 30 seconds before going silent. It usually occurs when I'm using...

  10. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Sounds familiair :P I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed for their advice! I put a summary of this thread in the OP so it might be useful to others as well. Final build: CPU: i3-4160 CPU Cooler: Gelid Tranquillo Rev.3 MB: ASRock B85M Pro4 Case: Cooler Master Silencio 352 PSU...

  11. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    The prices for the Core 1000, Silencio 352 and Define Mini are, respectively, €34, €48 and €80. As the price differences between the Mini and Silencio are pretty significant, the Silencio looks a lot better to me.

  12. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    @Carson Dyle, with the current build I'm able to meet all of these criteria, so that's good. However, you rate the case as the least important item, if it plays such a little role in creating a silent build, why would it be worth it to invest into a more expensive case like the Define Mini...

  13. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    @C2bcool, definitely looks like an interesting option! The Silent version is about €65,- but the availability seems to be pretty bad atm (10+ days delivery times or 'preorder'). There was only one review I could find...

  14. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for the input! I'll check out if I can find any more information regarding the two cases. I'll also just ask my dad what he thinks about the FD and if it's worth the extra money to him :thumbsup:

  15. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    The size of the system isn't a factor for my dad - it'll just sit under a desk with more than enough space. The only reason to switch the case to another one (FD Mini) would be better noise levels. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a lot of websites that have reviews on both cases aside from...

  16. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    You're right ketchup, good point. I get obsessed with finding the best option sometimes haha. A big thank you to everyone who contributed :)

  17. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for the links, I don't really know enough about SSD's to know whether or not there are any significant differences. If I look at this comparison though, it looks like the M550 is worth the €12,- extra. But then again I don't know a lot about it, do you think the differences will be...

  18. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for your input guys. I've asked my dad and he agreed with Ketchup79's point of such a thread being a floodgate for all complaints, so he's willing to take the risk of buying an MX100. Apart from the MX100, we also looked at the BX100, which we can get for €90,- (as opposed to...

  19. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thank you, you've convinced me haha, the G360 it is! Any other points you can see some improvement in by chance? Otherwise, we will order the parts tomorrow :thumbsup:

  20. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for your reply ClockHound. Luckily, we didn't order anything yet. I looked at the CM V550 and V450, but they're both really expensive so they're not an option. I checked silentpcreview.com and both the Seasonic SS-300SFD and Seasonic G360 both look like valid options. The Seasonic...

  21. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    I'm sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. The ducting seems to be too much of a hassle so I just recommended a Noctua casefan to replace the front intake casefan with. We will most likely also be covering the inside of the case with the acoustic pyramid-foam and some foamboard in an attempt...

  22. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Okay so if I understand you correctly, I could try ducting the CPU heatsink/fan with foamboard in an attempt to decrease the noise from the cooler. Do you think this will be needed when using an aftermarket CPU cooler (Gelid Tranquillo Rev.3) on a non-OC'd CPU? Also, you suggest attaching the...

  23. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for the reply BonzaiDuck. I'll check it out the possibility of ducting with foamboard together with my dad soon. In the meanwhile, I checked out the possibility of padding the interior of the PC with foam as was suggested in this thread. I found 1 m2 of this material for €5,50 which looks...

  24. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Whilst that was certainly a valid option, we checked out the prices of these systems and their specs and found that a €450,- PC often had an i3-4150T instead of a 4160, no SSD, less RAM, no aftermarket CPU cooler and a cheaper case. Besides, buying such a system wouldn't offer the same control...

  25. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for your reply @BonzaiDuck. For a CPU cooler he's got the Gelid Tranquillo Rev.2, which is supposed to be better than the 212 EVO and in the same pricerange. Unfortunately, the duct and foam pads you linked are not available in my country (NL) and I haven't been able to find any...

  26. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Alright so if I understand you guys correctly I should stay away from the 2560x1080 screen and go for the 1200 or 1080 screens instead. If that is the case, the 24" 1920x1200 LG screen is the best option right? Unfortunately, the Iiyama is the only one with a height adjustable stand but the...

  27. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Don't you think 2560x1080>1920x1200>1920x1080? I realise that a 25" 2560x1080 display is only as high as a 20" display but in terms of real estate it definitely beats a 1920x1200 24" display right? The options I have now are: http://www.iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-b2483hs/ (24" 1920x1080...

  28. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Alright, you have convinced me :biggrin: I swapped the i5 for an i3-4160, changed the MB to a (cheaper) Gigabyte H81, changed the PSU to the Antec 380D you recommended and left out the HDD. I did, however, change the Tatsumi to the Gelid Tranquillo Rev.2 as it has good reviews and seems to have...

  29. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Wouldn't you be paying a premium for the smaller components though? The build I've got now, with the 200R and i5-4460 is exactly €555,55 including shipping: Using the list you gave me I made a second build using the CM N200 and a micro-ATX MB which is €476,- including shipping. The extra...

  30. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    I understand the confusion, sorry :P I haven't bought anything yet. Just selecting components at the moment.

  31. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Thanks for the insights! @Lehtv, I haven't actually built it yet, I'm just speculating that the CPU fan might be noisy at times. I don't have any experience with the 200R though so it might not need any aftermarket cooling... What do you think? @Blain, I suspected the same. He wants a fast PC...

  32. Making a family budget PC as quiet as possible

    Hi all, I'm putting together a new build for my dad, it will mainly be used for browsing, emails, Excel and some other programs. He doesn't plan on overclocking so I know he doesn't really need an aftermarket CPU-cooler. He does want it to be as quiet as possible though, so that's why I'm...

  33. Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

    He cannot afford to pay another €50,- for a bigger SSD. Besides, it's all about how effective you make use of the available space, I only have a 64GB SSD and it works just fine. Check out a program called SteamMover, it allows you to easily move folders of programs and games without...

  34. Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

    Thanks a lot guys! Changing the PSU to the 520W version, the Antec to the Corsair 200R, the RAM to the Crucial's and the MB to the H97 version scraped almost €50,- off of the total price for the build!

  35. Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

    Thanks for your reply. The reason I went for the 128GB version was that he's already stretching his budget (price for entire build is around €880,-) and because he would only use his SSD for Windows, a few important programs and a couple games. I'll ask him if he could stretch it any further...

  36. Thoughts on mid-range gaming build?

    Hi all, I'm currently putting together a gaming build for a friend and was wondering what you guys thought about it before I order it for him. What I've got so far: CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 MB: ASRock Z97 Anniversary GPU: MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4G / Asus DirectCU II R9 290 (same...

  37. 550W Gold CM, 620W Bronze Seasonic, 750W Bronze CM. Which option is best?

    Alright I think I'll go for the Seasonic then. Thanks lehtv!

  38. 550W Gold CM, 620W Bronze Seasonic, 750W Bronze CM. Which option is best?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Is the Antec you linked, lehtv, better than the one's in the OP? Reason I'm asking is because my friend told me that he doesn't care if its €10,- cheaper or more expensive.

  39. 550W Gold CM, 620W Bronze Seasonic, 750W Bronze CM. Which option is best?

    Not necessarily, but these were the best I could find. I'm buying in The Netherlands via this website: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/ (the product name goes into the 'Zoek een product' box at the top). If you give me some names I can check if I can get them and for what price.

  40. 550W Gold CM, 620W Bronze Seasonic, 750W Bronze CM. Which option is best?

    Hi all, I'm putting together a new build for a friend of mine, which will mainly be used for browsing and gaming. I'm done selecting the parts except for the PSU. The options I have found are all roughly the same price (the G750M is the cheapest of the three funnily enough) and they're all...
