I would suggest not using your old power supply. That one is the sort that goes in low power office computers. I would recommend to get something like what Archaic59 suggested. Think of it this way: If your motherboard fails, you need to buy a new motherboard, if your PSU fails you will need to...

Ah as I feared. Well this is why you should do your homework before you buy I guess haha. Thanks. For anyone else reading, this video: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJCHx7mZEKo explains the difference between Sata M.2 and NVMe M.2.

Hi, Firstly, what type of RAM are your ram sticks? DDR4? DDR3? This will determine what motherboards you can buy, and therefore what chipsets of CPU are available for you to choose from. Secondly, you need to decide whether you want to use integrated graphics or get a graphics card. In your...

I have been trying to install a Samsung 860 EVO Sata M.2 2TB SSD to my ASRock B365M Pro4-F Motherboard. It is not showing up in the BIOS. Looking around the internet I found some things to try: "In BIOS, go to Advanced settings, then go to Onboard Devices Configuration. Look for the PCI...

Thanks a heap :)) Didn't manage to figure that out in all my searching.

I installed windows on a newly built PC using the integrated graphics before attempting to install the GPU. Windows installation was successful,, so I turned off the PC and added the GPU. The system wouldn't boot, just idled without any output from the motherboard or GPU. So I did some...

Thanks, I realise this is a bit of a tough ask. I'd looked at the Cryorig C7 Compact CPU Cooler but it seemed possibly not good enough. The best in the price range though. I looked for the Raijintek Pallas couldn't find it and the Australian New egg or amazon stores. What would you say about...

Hi, I'm looking for a cooler to overclock my FX 4300. I was hoping to maybe get it up to ~4.5GHz I need a cooler that is less than 120mm in height. (has to fit Corsair Carbide Air 240 case) Can be air or water as long as it will fit the case. Needs to be <$100AUD (<$60USD everything costs more...

I am thinking of buying a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard and using it with a AMD FX-4300 4 Core Black Edition Processor. What I want to know is whether I can use this CPU straight out of the box or if i need to update my bios. If I do need to update the bios, do I need an older/different CPU to...

I am building a computer that I plan to use for gaming but also other stuff like video editing and the likes. I am buying everything from pccasegear because I'm in Australia and its convienient. This is a list of the parts I'm thinking of getting with the prices in AU$ Computer case...

Hi, I have a netbook with Intel Celeron b800 CPU. I tried to overclock it using the bios settings but it doesn't have the options to do this. (The computer is an Acer travelmate) I was wondering whether there are any other ways to overclock the CPU. Any other tips to boost the CPU performance...

I attempted to repair the gpu but now when I press the power button the fans lights etc dont turn on at all. I took it out and tried using a different gpu and all is well. any ideas why the change? my thought is if I repaired it incorrectly the same thing should happen.

When I put my GPU (geforce 7950 gx2) in my computer and start it up, the computer lights flash and the fans run but the monitor doesn't turn on. (The monitor is connected to the motherboard.) Then once I take the graphics card out and reboot everything is fine. One of the capacitors (i think...
