Video Buffering/Freezing on 30Mbps Connection

Is the router you're using also wireless and feeding the rest of your devices with connectivity? If so, sounds like maybe a router issue.

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

After swapping SATA ports, I've had no issues all day. In assuming I have a bad sata port that causes high temps to show. That's not really an issue, but what's an issue with that port is that it will cause the system to ultimately shut down. I'm not really to concerned at this point as I will...

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

Continued to have issues since my last post. Temps would show extremely hot, however hard drive never was hot to the touch. Beeping continued. I changed the SATA port and haven't had any issues so far, with about 30 minutes of gaming. Is it possible the SATA port could be reading a temperature...

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

The drive didn't appear to be scorching when I touched it, however I only touched the top and front (the non connector side). There are no fans directly in front, however I have 2 intake fans only an inch away from it, but not blowing directly on it. One right above it, and one on the bottom of...

apparently the files distorted as I saved them.... CPUID hardware Monitor shows my WDC Temps as: Assembly: 34C Drive: 144C Air Flow: 146C This is an older WD drive.. It's the only thing I didn't upgrade with this new system. Sound like a new HD is in order??

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

After a few days of no issues, the beeping has just began again. I took note of it this time; 2 short beeps that happen intermittently. Online says 2 short beeps is typically a parity issue with the RAM. I have reset the RAM back into their original places to see if it happens again, and if it...

Water or Air? for i7-3770K to 4.5GHz

If air, I'd consider the Noctua D14. I have it and it's a beast. Seems to have got far better reviews then the 212 Evo.

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

I think the issue may have been overheating related. Since I let it sit all night, it powered on just fine this morning (however I immediately turned it back off). I have since taken off the Noctua D14, cleaned and reapplied thermal paste. I've already noticed a difference in idle temps for the...

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

Funny, it turned on this morning on my first try. I noticed a small rattling noise by the CPU fan but it could be a wire hitting the fan, I didn't have time to diagnose the noise. This mobo is new and this is the only psu it's seen. It is plugged into the wall. I've worried that when I put...

Same exact thing unfortunately. I RMAd my last corsair for this one, suppose I may have to do it again. 650W sounds like plenty for this rig correct? What makes you think it's not the mobo?

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

I just looked took a glance at the video card as I turned the system on and the fan to it isn't even spinning either! ALSO to note, the computer will not turn off if I hold the power button. I have to manually unplug the power cable. This sounds like a motherboard issue now perhaps? There is...

CPU fans aren't spinning, computer won't post

While playing BF3, I noticed a few small beeps while playing.. Didn't pay much attention as I thought it was someone else over TeamSpeak.. Computer all of a sudden shot off and wouldn't load when I tried to start it up. The post screen won't even come on. I opened the case and the CPU Fans...

I just recently purchased my i7 3770k, and the -40 was only for an i5. Has this changed?

Cheap Gaming Keyboard

So I'd assume the rollover is what henders my current keyboard from pushing to my keys? Higher the better then?

Cheap Gaming Keyboard

I'm not into these fancy gaming keyboards with all their bells and whistles. I'm looking for a cheap keyboard that is good for FPS gaming. I have an el cheapo right now, that gets frustrated if I push to many keys at once which I'm trying to avoid. Can anyone recommend a good keyboard that may...

ASUS VS239H-P 23" for gaming?

This monitor looks pretty promising. They have it for sale at the nearby MC. I primarily play FPS games, currently BF3. It's in my price range. Would this be an ideal IPS monitor for gaming within the price range, or should I not choose an IPS? Thanks ASUS VS239H-P 23" Widescreen LED Monitor...

Antec 300 vs 300 II

I just picked of a Fractal Arc Midi, and came from an Antec 300. This case is absolutely amazing, but it just became discontinued. Fractals look to have some great cases.

Bottom mounted PSU direction

I've always had my bottom mounted PSU intake facing up into the case. Now that I have a case with a vent on the bottom, will it truly make that much of a difference if I reverse the intake? At this point I'm not overclocking. The case sits on the floor.

Antec 300 Cooling

It seems like the Yates have much lower cfm per others at the same price if not a little more. Wouldn't higher cfm be better? Are you basing this off the overall quality of the fan itself?

Antec 300 Cooling

Disregard almost everything I said. I've decided to up my budget and get a fractal midi arc case (on sale for $70), and to get the Noctua NH-D14.

Antec 300 Cooling

Hello everyone, I have a few questions regarding keeping my Antec 300 and it's components cool inside, as I am about to order new hardware. I'd rather keep my 300, as it has always been a very reliable case, plus the savings can go towards other hardware. I will be modding the case for better...
