  2. Well, i am planning on an X99 build in the near future so this would be a good start.
  3. i know right i cant for the life of me figure out why its that warm. i mean the graphics card is part of the problem because when its 60degrees the fan is on like 40% which is bordering on sounding like a jet plane... does the define R4 have the support for water loop? pretty sure its a reference design its gigabyte but as far as i can tell all they did was slap a sticker on it
  4. Hey, So my general feel is that my computer is running very very inefficiently(not necessarily in a power usage way) but im finding that its too loud the parts get too hot, the case is ugly and various IO ports don't work i suppose the performance is a little bit to be desired but that's not really my main concern either way i guess my options are to either buy a new pc and be done with this one or put a lil love money into it and see what happens. i recently replaced the thermal paste on the cpu and the gpu because i thought they were idling hot but it really didn't make a ton of difference and the difference it did make was probably the dust being disturbed in the process annoyingly my gpu seems to idle at about 60 degrees and cpu around 50 my current system is as follows: CASE: HAF airflow horrible thing that sounds like someone breathing through a straw CPU: i5 2500 GPU: AMD HD6950 PSU: Corsair SP-650w RAM: any old 8gb MOBO: gigabyte ud4 HDD/SSD: 2x2tb + 120gb basically what would you do to give it a new spring of life focusing mainly on improving the aesthetics and cooling. price isn't too much of a concern but obviously at some stage it becomes better value to just build a new pc
  5. I dont suppose any of you really care haha but the problem was fixed with an optical cable so cheers for all your help guys
  6. soooooo i just plugged in the laptop again to use the speakers and if i shove my ear right to the cones I can hear the sound suuuper quietly it is barely audible but still definitely there. I think im just gna return the speakers and hope that it is them its kinda doing my head in haha.
  7. yeah it does but I don't have any optical inputs on my audio stuff
  8. well good/bad news I have no idea, anyway my friend carried over his desktop and we plugged it in and I get the same interference noise from the speakers. So it might not be my computer afterall
  9. yeah im not running any long ass distances or anything and im using usb out of the computer so I'm pretty sure its not the cables. I think if it were I would have the same problem when I use my laptop.
  10. Ok got the multimeter out and between the ground pin and the case and the mobo and all sorts of random places inside my computer its properly grounded. I've got my mate coming over with his computer tomorrow so ill be able to plug his in and see if i get the same noise or not really narrow it down to my pc. Other than that im pretty stumped here
