    Are RAM clock speeds (eg 1866) and timings (9-10-9-27 and so on) dependant on eachother in some way?

    Hi, my motherboard (Sabertooth 990FX) has a profile for my RAM (8GB 1866 dual channel corsair vengeance) that correctly configures the clock speed and timings automatically. My question is, are the clock speed and timings inextricably linked in some way? For example, could I set the timings...

    How do i transfer only my OS from my hard drive to a new ssd?

    Is the SDD bigger than your current HD/bigger than the partition with your operating system (if it's on its own partition that is)?

    GPU or PSU issue?

    Download the latest drivers for your video card and "display driver uninstaller" from here http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html, do a total wipe of your drivers, reboot, then re-install nvidia's drivers (without changing any of the installation options)...

    Powered USB hub is lighting the lights on my motherboard - is this normal?

    Hi pals, not sure if this is the right section for this but it's kind of motherboard related - I bought a powered USB hub and just noticed today that the power light on my Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard was on, even though the computer was switched off at the PSU. I unplugged the USB hub from...

    No more screen after update!

    Go into "safe mode", before your computer does the "starting windows" screen on bootup, hit F8 a bunch of times to get the option, then once in windows, go to the start menu and type "system restore" and there should be the option to restore a configuration from when your computer worked. If you...

    Evga Geforce GTX 760 SC getting low fps.

    I have an 8350 slightly overclocked to 4.33ghz, and I get like 40-50fps with SLI GTX 660s. I constantly have an onscreen display of GPU and CPU usage and temps because I'm obsessed with them, and the GPU usage is like 20 - 30% each. The game only seems to use 2 of my 8 cores so it's CPU...

    Evga Geforce GTX 760 SC getting low fps.

    What resolution are using? At 1080p one, 760 probably won't let you max the visual settings and stay over 60fps. Also, the Arma games are notoriously badly optimized and CPU dependent (still cool though).

    PC wont boot

    Make sure you have an 8 or 4 pin power cable plugged into the 12v 4x2 hole near the CPU too. If this is your first time building a modern PC then it's easy to overlook that there are two motherboard power sockets.

    Pleas help me to find old PC game

    I think I know the game (or at least the genre) you're talking about: Was it an "operation wolf" style shooter where the graphics are flat sprites, and you control a crosshair around the screen to shoot the stuff?
