    If you RAID0 2 4TB HDDs, is it possible to RAID10 2 4TBs and 1 8TB drive as backup?

    Well, when backing up is a concern, NAS is probably the answer. My question is because I'm just curious to if we can or cannot do this. I'd prefer a backup that isn't network attached. So is this possible?

    Why is my i5 4690k running at 4.2GHz? Is this due to Intel Turbo Boost?

    I am actually using stock cooler at the moment due to all the 240mm radiators in my local stores are out of stock at the moment. The time when I finally have enough money and time to do liquid cooling. So I am quite worried it's running at 4.2GHz (According to CPU-Z it changes from 4106MHz to...

    Is it safe if I'm "constantly" changing between two OC profiles?

    Well a brief explanation is. Whenever I'm running a high end game (Eg. Dying Light, Battlefield 3/4, Crysis 3, Far Cry 4 etc) I'll change to my high OC profile which is 1430MHz Boost Clock/1279MHz GPU Clock and 1855MHz Memory clock. And whenever I'm running any low end game (Eg. CS:GO, Garrys...

    Well, I'm just sharing this with everyone. I myself own this beast card with the RAM gate issue, thought this would help people who felt cheated. I signed this to help, though I'm fine with my card. https://www.change.org/p/nvidia-refund-for-gtx-970

    Judge this budget build

    Building this PC for my cousin. He plays at 1080p, he doesn't do any other serious things other than just gaming. So, it's a budget build. We already have the case and PSU so the other components needed are just GPU, CPU and Motherboard. These are the parts I think that'll help play next-gen...

    Best budget CPU for gaming at 1080p 60fps

    Planning to build a new PC for my cousin. He plays on a 1080p Monitor, so it's nothing extreme, might go for a GTX 960 with it but I'm open to suggestions for a better option ($600-$700 budget for now). The CPU I'm looking for needs to be reliable, consistent and will run almost any Triple A...

    Are Corsair Air Series AF120/SP120 Fans any good? (Suggest me some)

    Looking for 120mm fans that can push the air into a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 case (or any case) easily. I'm looking at the AF120 for the top/bottom and the SP120 for the front maybe? Well I'm kinda clueless to how AF120 and SP120 will work differently. I'm also open for suggestions for...
