Hello, I'm planning to buy a Intel Core i7-7700K paired with a Asus Maximus IX Formula, but I have a question about the RAM speed I can get. In Intel official site says that the memory type supported by the Intel Core i7-7700K is DDR4-2133/2400, and the motherboard supports a maximum of...

Thank you! I have found a good deal for the XFX TS, so probably I will go for it. So do you think 550w is enough for my system?

Hello, I have an issue with my PSU, a Corsair VS-550W. It's still under warranty (third year), but I have to pay the shipping cost to the manufacturer in order to get a replacement. Shipping is about $25, and reading around there I realised it is a mediocre PSU, so I was wondering if is worth...

Update: I have found a Kernel-Power error (ID 41) in the Events Viewer, just in case it can help.

Hello, I have some problems in the last weeks with my PC. When I'm playing Dota 2 or Marvel Heroes, the system restart, without any blue screen or error message. The other game I play now is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and everything is fine with it. I think the problem is with the GPU (R9 270)...

Thanks for your help. Yes, I cleaned it with alcohol. Now I've tried to rotate the fan but cannot insert it, because one pin is broken... I'll buy another cooler, hope that will fix the problem.

Hi, Today I have opened my PC to replace the thermal paste of the CPU and clean the cooler. I also remove the GPU to clean it. Everything seemed ok, but when I was to turn on it, I found some problems. In the first attempt, the PC fails. The CPU cooler stops turning within the first seconds...

Hello, I'm trying to decide which R9 270x buy, and I've found three models with very similar prices, around 165€ - 170€: -HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ Boost Clock 2 GB DDR5 -VTX3D Radeon R9 270X Boost Dual X-Edition 2GB DDR5 -Asus Radeon R9 270x DirectCu II 2GB DDR5 Of course, I would prefer the...

Hi, after several weeks looking for lot of information for my build and changing my mind everyday, I think that I'm going with this. But I would like to know your opinion. Is there something I can change to improve it? I will use the PC for Internet, watching movies, editing photos and gaming...

The only thing can be the motherboard. I would prefer to save up some money and look for a bit better one. But let see what the experts say.

Yes, definitely I will go for the R9 270x. Thank you man!

Hello! I'm looking for a GPU for a AMD FX-6300 + Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P and when I was almost decided for the Asus Geforce GTX 660 DirectCu II OC, I just find the VTX3D R9 270x for the same price in a local store (about 150 €). I know the R9 270x is better than the GTX 660, but I'm afraid about...

Thanks trekzone! I guess those are for OC, right? And is there some cheapest option for no OC? Because for that price I prefer a Core i5 4440 + Msi B85M-P33, for instance, that is much cheaper and I don`t need to OC

Hi, need your advice for choosing a motherboard for a AMD FX-6300 and a HD 7870 graphic cards. I know that a good one is extremely important for a good build, but I am in the budget, so I am looking for the cheapest among the decent ones. About overclocking, at the beginning it's not very...

Thanks mates! The point is that I don't find a R9 270x below $200 in Spain, so the final decision would be between the R9 270 and the GTX 660 OC, or any other for the same price. By the way, I have found a good deal for the R9 270 Dual-X with Boost and OC Version...
