7.1 Speakers for PC and TV?

Hmmm , yeah my living room is quite big...well in my opinion anyway. It is around 12x10m...odd shape so thats an approximate. I can settle for a 5.1 and am currently looking at Z-5500s. My budget is around £250. I mainly play games and also listen to dvds and watch some blu-ray discs (via...

7.1 Speakers for PC and TV?

Hi all! Recently my lovely Creative S750 Gigaworks subwoofer unit blew its fuse and kept doing that for every new fuse that I put in. I figured that there must be something wrong internally. Well, I had the speakers for 3 years now so I guess manufacturers warranty is not valid + the cost...

GT280 idle PCB temp 190oC

Hi guys, I have recently received a RMA replacement for my card and just finished reinstalling the driver etc. I ran the latest GPU-Z and apparently my PCB 1 temp is 190oC at the moment. I know the sensors should be working as PCB 1 temp read at around 60oC when I first boot into Windows...

Is this worth the price?

Hey! Sorry for not being too specific. I currently have an old rig I built myself last year which I used for work + gaming. Now, while it is sufficient for most of my work now, it is running out of breath on some games I play (Crysis, CoD4, BF2142 etc). My old rig runs on an air cooled E6600 B2...

Is this worth the price?

Hey guys, I am not sure if this is worth the money or I could get the same performance for less cash if I build it up myself? Any input? http://www.vadim.co.uk/product...on%20LQX%20Intel-775G3 £3k is around 6k USD. edit: We pay a bit more for components due the tax, VAT.

Is this temp too high?

@QuixiticOne My room ambient temperature ranges from 21oC to around 26oC (sometimes the sun really gets in the room :P). Opening the window is not a good option as the window is facing a street and I don't like people peeping in etc. Sometimes I take off the side panel and blow my 9"...

Is this temp too high?

Hi Just a quick question. I noticed that while running PRIME95's blend test, my core temps go up to a max reading of 66 celcius (According to CoreTemp and HWMonitor). I am just wondering if this is safe? I am idling at around 49 Celcius (if I have been using PC >5 hours) . FYI I am...
