 PoxyPig's recommendation | |
Able to set overclocking profile from within Windows
Automatic fan speed controller
Manual poor in some parts. Difficult to load operating system.
Problems with sound.
Problems with system reset.
When the system does a reset the bios locks up after doing the memory test often with a false report that the cpu fan has stopped. To get round this the cpu fan speed checking has to be disabled.
There are twittering noises on the sound, including a pulse every second, noises when apps are loading or the screen is scrolled and a beep sound when windows are maximised or minimised. To eliminate these the record input device must be set to "stereo mix". I suspect a hardware design problem here!
