    memory upgrade problem.

    Try seeing if some of it has been partitioned off for other applications or check if it is being used as a RAM disk or as a cache for applications to store.

    Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro Headphones 250 Ohm with ps4/pc

    Hello and welcome to the world of audio! Firstly, I am in a very similar position to you. I have the Bayerdynamic DT 990 Premium 600 ohm. And a PS4 and a high end PC. I personally have not needed an amp for either my PC or my PS4. U just plug it straight in via 3.5mm and enjoy. I hope this helps...

    Best gpu for a fx 6300

    First, I'm going to assume that you are playing at 1080p. Your FX 6300 shouldn't bottle neck a GTX 970, especially if your CPU is overclocked. The GTX 970 is a really good GPU for the money and also has really low power usage. The GTX 960 will also be suited to your build quite well and should...

    Asus VH242H audio in.

    Try turning off digital audio through HDMI in the Windows audio setting. This should stop any audio from passing through, and taking priority in the monitor. Also look through the settings on the monitor and look if there is a audio switch option to see which input is being used. One of the two...

    The AMD FX-8320/8350 vs Intel i5-4460/4960K Showdown

    I agree with AHBman for his statements, and yes, you will need a aftermarket heatsink if you are using an Intel K part or an AMD FX CPU. I recommend the Cooler Master Hyper212 EVO if you are going to have a heatsink. One of my friends uses an AMD 8350 in his rig and has comparable frame rates to...

    Revit RAM Questions

    If you are going to be doing Revit, 16GB of ram can't hurt, as it will help with things like render times and loading times. Although, if you do go for 8GB of ram, it will not be a massively noticeable difference (maybe a few seconds) and if you do go for 2x4GB, you will have room for future...

    IS my GPU bottlenecked?

    It shouldn't bottleneck your graphics card too much (if at all) as that CPU is relatively new and should be able to handle all of the modern games, with CPU cores to spare. If you do want to try and squeeze as much performance out of your CPU and GPU combo as possible, you could try and...

    Best Gpu for 200 pounds

    The AMD R9 285 Strix edition from Asus is available from Overclockers UK for exactly £199.99 and will deliver some great performance with a relatively low power consumption. It will outperform the GTX 760 in all games and the GTX 770 in some. It is especially good in games that support AMD's new...

    Will a CPU extra psu cable work in a Graphics Card PCI-E connector?

    So should the CPU cable work or do I need a new PSU or is there somewhere where I can get spare cables? The CPU and PCI-E connectros look EXACTLY the same and they're all of the same rail, so...

    Will a CPU extra psu cable work in a Graphics Card PCI-E connector?

    My XFX Pro 850 Watt PSU has two extra spaces for PCI-E / CPU. I would like to SLI my Asus GTX 770 but don't know if it will work. The PSU is SLI certified for SLI and I have enough wattage but as it is a semi-modular PSU, there is one problem I have. The cables that came with the power supply...
