I would recommend getting a new laptop or even a newer used one budget permitting. Any integrated graphics will be a bottleneck and are typically integrated into the processor or motherboard depending on configuration meaning you cannot change them like a video card swap. Laptops, even new...

Are you looking for 24/7 reliability? 1.35v is too much for Haswell 24/7 according to the good people here @ Toms(see electromigration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration).

While the guys above me have had good luck, I wouldn't be so quick to say that touching PC hardware ungrounded is safe. It is entirely possible that some damage was done and the card is walking wounded or it's also possible nothing happened at all. Walking wounded is when a component has been...

Excellent Power Supply Choice Excellent Cooler Choice Excellent Case Choice I would personally recommend against an i5 at this point in time, or any quad core without hyperthreading for that matter. The future of gaming seems to be trending towards more threads/cores at least until quantum...

Tonight something happened to me which hasn't happened before and I don't know if I should consider it a fluke or what, but I got an error when rendering a 3D scene in 1440p(the typical resolution I render in) that read something along the lines of: Open GL Driver Error Unable to recover from...
