    Question How to make this PC better?

    Thanks Lucky, 12GB VRAM has been a concern for me especially when considering 4K gaming ocassionally. Biggest worry I had was the optimisation and driver issues that AMD faces with the GPUs Keeping in mind the prices you listed above are ex.VAT, I would have to pay VAT on this so they do...

    Question How to make this PC better?

    Thanks for your feedback! Prices in this country are pretty inflated so even a cheap case would be maybe 20 euros less. The 7800x3d is roughly double the cost of the 7600, would you say it's worth it? Considering it'll be paired with a 4070 ti? Also, I've never been as confused by...

    Question How to make this PC better?

    Hello everyone, decided to build a new PC and carry over some components from the old one Based on $$ to performance this is what I've come up with.

    i5 4690K Hyper 212 EVO Temps

    Hi Guys, Just built myself a new PC. Corsair 300R case i5 4690k with the CM Hyper 212 Evo. As i've been using the PC, I've noticed the temps remain quite high for stock clock rate. On idle i get around 35-38c and on full load i get up to 65c. Is this right? Can anybody else with a similar...

    Is >90°C 6870 Safe?

    I'm not sure that it is, I have an XFX DD 6870 and when playing CSGO on max settings, it doesn't go about 70-75C. Idle is around 40 for me. Have you got enough circulation in your case? There could also be a build up of dust in your graphics card --Try using compressed air to get this out.

    R9 280X vs R9 380

    Hi Guys, About to put in a purchase for a GPU. It's either the MSI R9 280X 3GB or the MSI R9 380 4GB Which is the better GPU, is there much difference in the two?

    Upgrade to gaming PC £300 budget

    Your set-up is pretty much perfect. All you really need is a better graphics card, that's the only thing holding you back. You can probably grab a Radeon 280x for under £200 and you should have no problems at all running FarCry 4 with High settings.

    i plugged up my ps3 with an hdmi cord and now my digital wires don't work on it now

    This is because you need to reset the video configuration, to do this, when you press the power button on the PS3, hold it down till you hear it beep again. This will make the PS3 scan for video input, a picture should then appear on the screen.

    Need a new case

    Waddup guys! Finally my 2 year old CiT Vantage case has begun to kick it! (Suprised it has lasted as long as it has tbh, it was a pile of junk.) I need a new case for my AM3+ build. (ATX board) Nothing too expensive though! I've been considering the Haf 912 or the Corsair 300R Any opinions...

    Urgent hellp neded

    I agree with Homer on this one, even if your PSU is powerful enough, I don't think you'll get much out of the Pentium D

    Sounds like a hard drive issue, you didn't mention what kind of drive you had?
