Im gob smacked!!! I looked at the description of google goggles... OMW I never knew such tech existed! Im a total n00b in this department! Yes I'd like to root my phone, and I want to install ice cream sandwich but theyre all unreliable betas at the moment arent they?

Oh sorry i searched for Galaxy S2 and got directed to the iPhone 4S thread... Id like a few games, messaging like whatsapp, news feeds... I have no idea what Android can do so i just want to see what kinda power it has. Maybe some photo editing software. Basically any apps that would WOW me. I just ...

So im picking up a Samsung Galaxy S2 on Saturday that i bought for 3K 2nd hand from a friend. I just got that telkom 3 month uncapped promo, so i want to update EVERYTHING via Wi Fi. Could someone please give me ideas on any useful apps i could download? Its my first Android phone, im currently usin...

+1 RRF! I wouls never have compromised mr rig for anything else, I waited a very long time to get what I have now. Every component in my PC was handpicked, for its speed and colour and the visual effect it would give. not everyone is as picky as me, but hey...

Have a look at the Asus PA238Q. There's a small review on it in the December issue of PCF:)

NZXT Phantom for its looks, or the HAF 932 for its performance which is also more expensive. Lanboy air would gather too much dust IMO

I normally press the right handed thumb mouse buttons with my ring finger but there's some mouse buttons that I can't reach comfortably. Iv had a look at the Roccat Kone+ and I think I'll be able to reach the buttons comfortably

I'd love one but it doesnt look like it would fit my hand comfortably coz I cant reach all those buttons

I looked at the death adder since I'm left handed but its too plain for me hey.. I want more features

Howzit guys, after the christmas season I plan on getting myself a new mouse and keyboard. My current peripherals don't suit my rig, as its REALLY old school. So I originally always wanted a Razor Lycosa keyboard and the NZXT Avatar mouse which will suit my case perfectly. However Evetech doesn't ev...

The Gauldur amulet or something... I keep that in my cheasat at home and I enchant all my stuff, ie amulet, ring,circlet and everyatahing helps my archery. 143 (+96) damage with my bow that I enchanted. And that damage doubles everytime coz I shoot from the shadows. Needless to say I PWN everything!...

If it suits your budget then why not?

I just wipe mine off with toilet paper, no spirits or anything. And the best TIM available AFAIK is Arctic Silver 5.

You mainly adjust the multiplier, once you've hit your maximum then you start on your base clock. I only use my base clock in my 4.9ghz profile. The multi is x48 but I compensate with the base clock, it keeps my temps in check and doesn't demand such a high step up in voltage. And Starbound, I've he...

Red is too dull:) I wouldn't change my case for anything, maybe a CM Cosmos:) The only things that I don't like on the case is plastic covers, I'd like some laser cute Aluminium covers made if I had money. And the fact that it doesn't have a side window. BUT NZXT have just released an optional windo...

White Phantom FTW

Well i got a Samsung BX 2331 for R1500 but then it broke and i got a Samsung SA350 at the moment, which was the replacement screen i received which is better as far as im concerned. Full HD LED 23", HDMI and all the rest... only downside is its a TN panel. but that shouldnt really bother you. I'd re...

I can't justify spending that much on an SSD. Games and apps will load faster, that's about it... Ok well I'd get an OCZ SSD if I had to get one so I'm looking at quite a big price

Are you able to get your hands on another psu to use for a few minutes? Then we can test if its your psu thats giving you hassles.

OMG those temps are high! That at least shows me how the stock cooler performs. My cpu reaches those temps at 5Ghz! But now does the pc freeze in the same way it does in game?

RRF when I had power issues my pc would spontaneously reboot. I wasnt aware that the pc hangs under high current load. Oh and Sabs when you use Prime please watch your temps closely! This app stresses your cpu to the max, if your temps reach past 80c stop the test. 90c is the limit. And with regards...

Dude that PSU is soooo expensive! I think1000W is a bit overkill even for crossfire, you would get away with a 750-850. You could easily save a few hundred bucks on the PSU. Other than that, the rig looks solid. 2500K is ideal for gaming but if you can get the 2600K at a good price then why not

CPU, and the temps aren't the problem, but try reseating your cooler to lower your temps. Its not healthy:) What's your idle temps?
I dont believe its a hardware fault, because of the dddddddddddd sound its sounds like software to me... Could be wrong...

Those CPU temps are a bit high for gaming. Is it overclocked at all? But I don't think that temps are the problem here. Sounds to me like your PSU is taking strain or its failing, or the constant key pressing tone sounds like software, eg drivers, hanging app
