    Microtransactions: Love Them or Hate Them?

    They do not belong in full priced games on PC, especially not in single player focused games.

    NZXT H440 - Should I go the custom water cooling route?

    I visited EKWBs custom loop configurator site https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/ This is what I got fro them: https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/shared/oW582eab9d3da4c with the radiator mounted in the front (not sure if clearance would be an issue for the HDDs) Does this...

    NZXT H440 - Should I go the custom water cooling route?

    Hi I live in sunny (dusty) South Africa and require a way to keep my PC temps low during gaming. When playing very demanding games the CPU temps will sit at around 70 degrees Celsius (with an old AIO Antec Kuhler) and my GPU temps hover around 80. The heat being exhausted by my case is quite...

    Tom's Hardware Steam Giveaway - The Witcher 3 + DLC Season Pass

    VR exclusivity is bad for both consumers and developers. For the consumers the costs will be higher/doubled should they want to experience everything VR has to offer or miss out on exciting new titles. For developers, if they were to develop for all available VR platforms then they would...

    Samsung 850 EVO SSD migration issue

    This is immensely frustrating. Ditched optical drives with my new chassis and build and for some reason creating a bootable USB drive is proving to be troublesome. If in the end the only thing I can do is to format, I'll find a way to do so, even if that means sitting with an old optical drive...

    Samsung 850 EVO SSD migration issue

    Hi there I recently bought myself the Samsung 850 EVO SSD and used the Samsung Data Migration Software to migrate everything. Restarting, I changed the boot drive to be the SSD but got a funny looking log in screen that lead to a black screen. The old HDD was still in and now somehow it acts...

    need help with first gaming pc

    Not bad at all. The chassis is a bit ugly though, but practical. I might suggest going for the CoolerMaster Storm Scout chassis and add a nice CPU cooler then you should be set to go :)

    Installation of GTX 980 into NZXT H440

    I was wondering how easy it is to install a Galax GTX 980 HoF V2 in a NZXT H440 chassis, since the drive bays can be removed and not the HDD cage, so you would have to have the card inside that space before you can insert it and I'm wondering whether it would be possible to do so. I've read...

    GTX 980 with a Asrock B75M

    Wow ok, I already know of the big names that are listed there, some of them have undergone liquidation or shifting to IT rentals. Some of those I've never even heard of (neither do any of my peers here), guess they get drowned out by the bigger companies. The two mobos I'm looking at now are...

    GTX 980 with a Asrock B75M

    Shipping going to be difficult, and import duties etc will make it quite expensive. Would my current board be sufficient until I perhaps upgrade later on during the year?

    Best GTX 980?

    The Galax SoC and HoF cards also seem to be doing pretty well in reviews, although their price point seems to be very high in the US (and the lowest in South Africa, which is nice for me seeing as the HoF edition is cheaper than the cheapest MSI GTX980)

    EVGA GTX 980 Classified vs. GIGABYTE G1 980 vs. GALAX 980 HOF?

    Galax is the rebranding of KFA2 and Galaxy, which have been around for a while, although not so much in the US or pretty much in the West. Here in South Africa they're actually considerably cheaper than the "big 4", so I'd go with Galax, but if that's not the case where you're from then choose...
