I have recently upgraded from just 4gb ram to 12gb and originally only 3.5gb was usable. I have done the msconfig process and that changed it so that 6gb of the 12 is usable but now I don't know why not all of it is usable. Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can resolve this?

I currently have a Corsair vs650 and I am on the hunt for a graphics card and I have found a deal for 2 R9 290x’s in crossfire. Is my power supply going to be capable of running them both or am I going to need to change power supply?

I have recently purchased a used version of this motherboard. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find windows 10 drivers for the board? Or are the standard drivers on the asus website already windows 10 compatible?

Hi all, I am looking to build my own PC which I will use mainly for gaming, however I don't really know what route to choose... Whether I go AMD or Intel and also whether Id be better off going for new components or looking round on the used market. I have a budget of around £500, and I...

So if I were to go with the GTX 1060 which version? The 3GB or the 6GB? Also same with regards to the RX480... 4GB or 8GB? Thank you both for your opinions on the subject

I would rather not overclock the CPU, I dont see the point in it personally. What would the difference of the rubbish drivers mean? Like would it be noticeable to me in games or while im using the PC for general purposes?

I am wanting to create a build that is the most 'future proof' as possible. I realise this is an overused term and nothing can ever be truly future proof but even so I want to not have to upgrade this PC any time soon. The components I am intending to use that I have decided on already are...

Hello all, Ive been on the search for a dual socket lga1366 motherboard that has at least 1 PCIe x16 lane for a graphics card and also ideally more than that as well but its not necessary that theyre x16 lanes. It also preferably needs to be compatible with a standard ATX PC power supply. I...

Are there any workstation motherboards that support 2 CPU's? The only ones I can find run off power supply's that arent ATX ones like the one I have. Would having a server board be a massive knock on performance?

I am looking to buy used parts off ebay to get myself a decent gaming PC and I have decided on wanting a dual socket motherboard and Xeon Processors. I havent been able to find a motherboard that has 2 CPU sockets and at least 1 PCIe x16 slot (for graphics card). Ideally id like to be able to...

Hi all, Just a quick question, I know there are different sizes of MicroATX motherboard and I have one that I believe is 9.6" by 7.8". Will all cases be able to accommodate this size of MicroATX motherboard?

I am looking to get an RX480 in my new system build and I want to get a CPU that won't bottleneck the graphics card. I was thinking an FX6300? I don't really want to spend much more than £100 on the CPU and I'd rather stick with AMD for now. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

I am wanting to connect my PC to one set of speakers and also an amplifier connected to another set of speakers. Would this be possible with a simple Y splitter or would I need something different for it to work properly? Also I am wanting to connect my TV to the amplifier so would I be able...

The PC originally came with Windows 8.1 installed and then I upgraded from Windows 10 when the free upgrade was available

Do you know how you go about reinstalling it? Do you have to buy windows 10 again?
