Thanks for the Ideas guys, I'm currently working with an NZXT Phantom case, so room isnt really an issue. I thinks its about time for the thermal paste to be replaced so I'll do that while im at it. Again, I appreciate the help! Rabid.

Greetings all, I'm looking for the best way to clean my H212x EVO radiator. I've found that just simply blowing compressed air into it doesnt clean it enough, there is still dust stuck to it. Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rabid.

I'll have a look at it all again, make sure everything is plugged in well and truely etc etc. Thanks for the help Diddums, and the rest. greatly appreciate it! EDIT: Been researching around, looking at other people with the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 mobo, and it seems they only get a beep when there is a problem or they press Del to enter BIOS. otherwise it is quiet.

On start-up, there are no beeps at all. When it resets itself, it's like the reset button was just hit. No blue screen or anything. just resets randomly. Might give a computer tech store a call and see what they think.

just ran the tests. CPU peaked at 43 degrees/c, 0 warnings or issues. GPU peaked at 78 degrees/c. both 10 min tests.

Went to ddo it last night, but a damn possum hit th transformer and my entire block lost power. >:(

Already done MemTest through Windows. Will try the rest out though. RAM sticks are in the correct places, same with cables. I was being very careful when putting it together, I spent from 8am - 7pm doing it slowly.

screen grab from SpeedFan, shortly after starting the comp up:

Yes, all the components are brand new.

I'll try that when I get home, stuck at work right now. Edit: pretty sure I can access the fan speeds/temps from the bios as well

I have the top and rear fan blowing air out of the case, the cpu fan pulling air from the front area of the case, and the two smaller side fans both blowing air into the case (NZXT Phantom if you were wondering). GPU fan faces away from the CPU down towards PSU (no other spot to mount the PSU/GPU really). If needed, I do still have 2 spots that I can mount 200mm fans on the top and side.

I only just put the Cooler master CPU cooler on. Before I was using the cooler that came with the cpu and had the same problem. As for Air flow, the case has 4 fans running so it shouldn't be an issue. Also yes this is my first build. EDIT: I should also note that since putting on this new cooler it isnt happening as much as before

So I recently built my own computer, but I'm finding that it occasionally freezes or restarts itself out of no where. I cant work out what the problem is, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I dont know why the streamers dont add a delay to the stream. I know its possible as I'm an editor for a streamer and I have the ability to put a delay on the stream. I understand alot of them like to interact with the chat, but if ou dont want to get continually stream sniped then its a sacrifice you have to make. Besides you can still interact, the chat just gets a very delayed reply. Just put a 2-5 minute delay and the info/location that the stream snipers have is always old and not as accurate, which gives the streamer more of a chance against them.

Well said Zombie Jesus. Very well said indeed.
