    Corsair RM 750i random shut downs - do I need to RMA? (Canada)

    TL;DR Have a one year old Corsair RM 750i that started randomly shutting down. Replaced the PSU with a temporary one and everything is fine. How do I fix the issue with the 750i? RMA? DETAILS I bought a Corsair RM 750i about one year ago for my new system: i7-5820K, 32GB Corsair Vengeance...

    Very low frame rates when playing old games (mirror's edge)

    Just booted up this game for the first time and having a similar issue. I've got an i75820k OC'd to 4.4, with 32GB RAM and a GTX 660. The 660 is the weak link, but should still be more than enough to run this game at max on 1080. Booted it up and was getting really heavy screen tearing even...

    New Seagate 5TB external drive stays powered on (light, hum, vibration) for hours after the computer has been shut down

    Hi folks, Tried Googling this and searching these forums but not much has come up (other than a few XboxOne related posts). Recently bought a new Segate 5TB Backup Plus drive - plugged it into my PC, started copying stuff over, it's working great. HOWEVER, last night as I shut my computer...

    DDR4 RAM - what does "tested latency" mean (and does it matter?) - comparing two nearly identical sets of RAM

    Hi folks, I recently upgraded my setup to a new i7-5820K with the Asus X99-A and a set of Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4) RAM. I decided it would be worthwhile to spring for the extra set of 16 to fill out my motherboard, and got another set of, what I thought was, identical RAM. Took the...
