Case and psu are in my footer

I though about running the fan from a 4 pin on my motherboard, drilling a hole to stick the wire through on the psu etc.... It's just really not very elegant

Just replaced the fan in my psu with a noctua nf-f12 (I'm a major silence freak), connected 12v and ground, usual stuff. It appears the psu does not provide enough starting voltage to start the noctua fan, (it does a half revolution every few seconds, but never fully gets going) However if I give it a little push with my finger it works like a charm. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? I'm a little stuck...

Selling her mobo/cpu as a combo, apparently there is still a market for them

Got myself an MSI gtx 960 for my girlfriends build really cheap, now i need a mobo/cpu combo for approx £140, no more! Im thinking an i3 4170 with a cheap asus H81 motherboard, oh also could we stick with intel please! im replacing her fx 6300 because its garbage and runs hotter than the sun Thankyou in advance!

So I picked myself up a MSI 970 for my new build, I am a MASSIVE silence freak... As soon as my system boots into windows (GPU starts to do some work) I start getting a small irritating coil whine from my GPU, not too loud, but high pitch. When I apply a small load, say 30-50% the whine goes away completely... has anyone experienced anything like this before? is it temperature linked? thankyou in advance! EDIT: just had a thought! could it possibly be linked to voltage applied to the card? obviously under 50% load the card will want quite a bit more voltage than at idle.

So im running a single stick of this: http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX421C14FB_8.pdf Kingston advertise automatic OC'ing up to 2666, all im seeing however is stock 2133. This is my mobo: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z170I-PRO-GAMING/ Any ideas? thanks in advanced!!

Just bought myself a Silverstone SST-ST55F-G, according to the documentation and sticker on the PSU it requires 8amps, im currently using a 13amp fused standard IEC cable (UK plug) Is this okay?

Wow! upwards of 115°c on a drive... makes me feel slightly better haha My drive is on the back of my motherboard, inside a Silverstone SG13, so literally zero airflow back there. What would you guys suggest? just some thermal pads?

So my Samsung 850 evo 500gb m.2 ssd is running at 68°c-73°c, Samsung's website states that these drives can operate between 0°c-70°c. Im a little worried... any ideas anyone? Thankyou!

Just built my first rig! gtx 950 is doing me proud! Using an old 300gb laptop harddrive because I ran out of funds! hehe
