Check MBM, the canon I brought from them works great

[hustla_ambition101]

What model?

[TheOwnerPO]

Need a recommendation for a good headphones.

Not for gaming though :\

As you have not listed a price range

I would like to suggest the Sony MDR-v6 or the MDR-7506. They go for about 80 US on Amazon and it is the best you are going to find in the price range

The cable is a tad long and is coiled. The audio quality is pretty good and the frequency response is flat (read no frequencies are abnormally boosted)

Anybody here can help me out, I need Windows reinstalled / installed on my Dell laptop. Or can you recommend a place around south, and cost as well... thanks.

Everyone can assist.

Anyone has 3/8 barbs they want to get rid of, recently bought some radiators and the guy sent them out with 1/2 barbs. If you have any let me know, if I can get one 90 degree rotary that would be nice too.

anyone have a 1150 intel board to sell?

anyone have a 1150 intel board to sell?

I know Supertech San Fernando has... Could probably give them a call

Anyone here got a Logitec racing wheel with force feedback for sale?

Anyone have a 200 mm white led fan

[gamefreak12]

Looking for 2 in it

for the past week my pc has been blowing out hot air, i know the place is hot at the moment but even night time the air is still hot, i thought probably was the dust so i used compress an blow it out but not change, any ideas how to fix

[sMASH]

Mine has the cpu maxed out. It ramps up the fans. Sometimes it trips out before it loads properly.

I went into the uefi bios, and saw that the CPU temps are high. So it confirms I have some sort of issue.

My padnah has an issue like this, but his CPU is way less than mine, so his system is working.


The only thing I can think to do, is format the drive and reload the whole system. I not skilled enough to do any investigation, but the systems trips out on temps before it can do anything any way.

[bossmann]

How old are those systems? Could be poor heat transfer due to old thermal paste. Just one possibility out of a few.

[kamakazi]

@ fred
A couple...
Cleaning is one... But for your system to suddenly start blowing warm air I would start monitoring what background processes are running and observe the temps.
Hardware monitor, resource monitor (comes with Windows), speedfan etc. Watch the graphs and monitor the situation. It might have a couple processes that are running a couple cores at 100%, could be a failed fan, could be dust

[fred1266]

not sure if the response is for me or the other poster, seems it blows the hot air mostly when am playing fifa

drop it by mih...i'll check it out for u...no charge...pm me for info

[kamakazi]

Well most likely it is as a result of you playing game... As the cpu, GPU and memory are all doing more work...

That sounds more like the heatsink isn't seated properly... You could probably check that first.
If the heatsink is seated properly something else might be causing that shutdown(unless you have a closed loop water cooling setup with a failed pump; what I am talking about mainly applies for air cooling), stuck power button or some other motherboard component. If you want to find out if cooling is really your problem, open the side panel and point a house fan at it. If you get further along the boot process with this setup, cooling will be pretty high on the things you need to check
Could also undervolt and underclock your system in the bios if for some reason heat is your culprit

Btw...You want to reformat your system but are not skilled enough to do any investigation... ... am ....OK

You could drop it by me...I will charge you...

yea but it never push that heat before so therefore it good be one of those items causing the heat, is there anyway to isolate which one causing the problem

There are numerous temp monitoring programs...I believe I listed them earlier
HW monitor, speed fan... Those should give you an idea of what's going on.

[genghis]

hey guys, looking for an AM2 motherboard to replace my old one.

needs to work with this CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-At ... X6400CZWOF).html
Note that the TDP is 125, and most boards duck out @ 95.

doh mind if its dusty once it working good!

anyone selling a low end gaming pc?

thanks mate didn't realize you listed them already

[fred1266]

hi everyone installed HW monitor on system and on idle

CPU temps are 54
GPU temps are also 54

while playing fifa

CPU saw it reach as high as 100
GPU was about 80 - 88

never tested temps before so not sure it that normal?

thanks in advance

[ismithx]

Post pics of your tower in its environment and inside the case, sounds like you have a problem dissipating heat

That temp is really high
Before anyone can probably assist further might have to answer a couple questions about your rig
CPU?
CPU cooler?
Case?
Fans (how many, size, average rpm)
GPU?
GPU cooler style? (blower style cooler or inside case heat dissipation)
Any Overclocks?
