    Problem solved! So I opened the case to see what the problem was as Godlygamer23 suggested to touch the drive... The problem was in fact the latches the Corsair Carbide 500r uses in the expansion bays. What was happening was the tip of that was jumping up and down so fast it was creating that loud noise you heard in the recording, a few pieces of paper sorted the problem right out! Thanks for the replies!

    Note: This sound doesn't happen all the time usually upon bootup and then the odd time after that.

    As in like in the case? Yes, I even screwed it to the drive mount.

    I've been dealing with this really loud noise in my PC since I've bought it, my primary driver other than my SSD makes this unbearable sound when writing in particular I think. I've recorded the sound do you guys think it's time to claim warranty? http://vocaroo.com/i/s0uzpPSlWkv1

    With the new release of the 980 I'm looking at a bit of an upgrade in the future. My question being, should I sell my 770 (Works perfectly fine very good condition) and upgrade to a 780ti/980, OR get a second 770 and run SLI?

    I found Linus while searching through the most popular on youtube in the old app on iOS (Before they stopped supporting them with the pre-instal). I took a look at his channel and took it as an opportunity to better my knowledge in the PC world, since then I have built my own PC, upgraded an old one, and began starting university in a career in Networking and IT Security! I'm indebted to Linus Tech Tips for their help in bringing me to this point and if it's not already clear, I don't plan on leaving!

    About $550 or a little bit more. He's chosen the GTX660 for his GPU.

    He's looking to get the best processor he can get for his computer build, he's been looking at the i5 haswell CPU's but they fail to fall under his budget. I mentioned to him the G3258 Anniversary Unlocked processor that he can overclock and get decent performance. Is it worth looking into i3 processors instead, get the G3258, or break a little bit in the budget and get the i5? He's building this exclusively for gaming so your help is appreciated!

    I was under the impression that running a 50W above the PSU limit (Even though I'm well aware that a lot of PSU's are under rated in terms of wattage) could be cause damage to the PC or cause it to not start up when powering on. Would it just be wise to undervolt the GPU instead?

    Hello all, I have a friend who I am going to show this post. He doesn't believe what I am saying is true I don't think and that what he's about to do is going to work guaranteed. He's just purchased a used Nvidia GTX 275 online somewhere, and he's currently running a 500W PSU, on the Geforce website it specifically says that the minimum PSU requirements are a 550W PSU, making him 50 watts over his rated limit. I'm trying to explain to him the dangers to his system if it even lets his PC power up, yet he thinks this is still a good idea. Please LTT forum I'm going to link him to this post, I would like to see your opinions on such a task. PSU: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012

    When I was installing the CPU drivers I saw APU in installation process so I just assumed at that point, especially when it started installing AMD FX. Must have just been a general driver for many CPU's.
  14. Gibster
    I'm literally face-palming right now... I can't believe I didn't check his processor... I appreciate you spotting my stupid mistake.
  15. Gibster
    I tried the CMOS method and it didn't work, I think he may have had the PSU on, not sure. I'll repeat those steps and see if it works again.

    Basically a friend of mine is trying to fix his computer by removing his graphics card (Refurbished GTX660 which I told him not to buy because of lack of warranty). I instructed him to uninstall the drivers to his 660, then shut down, remove the graphics card, boot again, and install the integrated graphics drivers after that. He skipped the remove graphics card part and installed the AMD drivers for his integrated graphics, while this is happening the DVI adapted cable (DVI to VGA) was still plugged into the 660. At this point I did not know this and he's restarted his computer and the monitor won't turn on because there's no signal it seems. I've tried everything I can think of and the monitor won't take any signal.... Ideas?

    I love the interface and overlay additions, I think that something like this has only been held back because if screen real estate.

    The slide gestures are actually really cool, the fact that the screen is now physically detecting touch when the display is off is a very cool feature.

    GTX 770

    Gibster posted a topic in Graphics Cards

    I'm looking on NCIX and I see an EVGA GTX 770 http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=84733&promoid=1244 for $330. I know the price range dropped recently due to the introduction of the GTX 780ti. My question is if $330 is a really good price to pay for this card?

    Actually it's Gibney You may dream of being the original, for I am the one and only!!!

    I recently was given a GTX 460 from a friend who upgraded to a GTX 670. I was running an MSI R5450 (Cheap card). I was wondering how the card compares to current titles and ones made say 2 years ago. How does it fare? Card: EVGA GTX 460 1024MB GDDR5

    For example I saw a video by Linus on the NCIX tech tips channel where he said he stays in the 80 degrees area, is that really a safe temperature?

    Hello those viewing this thread, I have a question for you all. I've just purchased an Intel i5 3570K processor with a Corsair H100i cooler, my question for you all today is what is the acceptable temperature to run your overclock? My question being what should be the temperature range for your CPU be after an overclock. Thank you in advance for your answers.
