Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

Where would I get a CMOS battery around Dublin over the counter? Do Maplin do them?

Serephucus

Isn't a CMOS battery just a (type of) watch battery? Any watch shop should have them, or maybe any of the Tesco Extras, and those sorts of places.

papu

Yeah it's just a battery nothing special to it.

glynf

Good point Serephucus, Yes they are a fairly standard 3 volt type CR-2032. Turns ot Power city carry them for €1.95.

What's a good GTX 780 with an aftermarket cooler? Have been looking at the EVGA one on HWVS (the ACX one) or the ASUS DC2, which has a better cooler? I've heard good things about the DC2.

Reading the Guru3D review of it now, seems pretty impressive.

ED E

Anyone spotted any good prices on 2TB drives?

Serephucus

From a quick look around, Amazon seems to be the best at the moment. Slightly (around a Euro or so) more expensive than HWVS, but I'd gladly pay the extra for their support.

I actually ordered pretty much all my build stuff from Amazon... Free and quick delivery amazed me, and their prices are pretty good, even after exchanging the currency. My 9kg all steel case, ordered on Sunday came home on Wednesday and it was supposed to be delivered on Thursday, haha.

Have you guys seen the benchmarks of the 295x2? This new AMD card is... Crazy, to say the least.

IrishStuff09

Hey lads...getting a build done soon by HWVS (built by them) and was just wondering what I'll get when it arrives, aside from the PC :P

Boxes+manuals from the parts, or do they just dump them for the sake of shipping?

Cheers..

You get everything you ordered. Essentially, they take everything out of the box that they need to assemble it with and then package the box the items came in as well as any spare parts, screws, ties, clips etc that they didn't need to use. I think they just dump them into one box so it's a little bit of a pain to figure out which spare part belongs to which item. They package all the boxes and manuals too. They even put the case back into the box it came in and then put that into a shipping box.
You get what you paid for.

So i took the plunge and ordered a 500GB SSD to replace my old 500GB seagate from 06

,which i plan on using as my new SSD for OS(win8.1) and other data(2-3 games, documents, music, movies, pictures).

When i hook up my new drive and install the OS, is it possible that i can transfer files directly from the old OS HD to my new drive?
What software would you recommend to use?

Now i have thought about getting a WD 1tb black or green HD as well, but i dont believe id really make much use of it. Would occasionally writing music,files, movies, documents to my new SSD really degrade it much?

Connect the ssd, install windows, then reconnect the old drive in a second sata slot and boot back up. Your new os will boot but you'll have everything visable on the

drive which is your old hdd. Just drag and drop what you need. Programs need to be installed again for the most part.

Serephucus

Don't keep the old drive connected while installing Windows to the SSD though.

PatL23

I was under the impression that the data would be hidden.
Thank you very much for the info.

Tea_Bag

You might need elevated privileges to access it at first, or at most your old password from that os, but that's very rare unless you set up a bit locker type encryption.

When installing the new OS, make sure your Sata configuration is set to AHCI in the bios. It probably already is though.
