    Question 3000$ CAD Build questions

    Hullo all. I have been tasked with creating a 3000+ euros rig intended for professional use. The client will mostly use CAD programs, like RHINO and LUMION. I have experience putting together the parts for a PC , as I have been doing it for gaming for years, but I have never build a rig for...

    Question Laptop CPU Fan spins for a sec then stops, but laptop boots fine ?

    Hello. I have acquired an old Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop that had not been used in 4-5 years. I booted it up, it worked fine until it shut itself off. After some digging around I noticed the fan wasn't spinning, so it appears the laptop had overheated. I opened it up and noticed that every time I...

    Upgrade to 1060 from 390 for 70 euros?

    Hey guys. Some months ago I got me the MSI R9 390, which is simply stunning. It's a good overclocker , and despite my terrible airflow it still never exceeds 82 degrees celsius, which is fine. Thing is , a friend is willing to lift it off my hands for 230 euros . I could then buy the gtx 1060...

    3pin and 4pin fans

    Hello guys! So heres the thing: I am looking for a new motherboard + Cpu upgrade. The thing is, all the high-end motherboards like the MSI M5 and its equivalent in each company come only with 4pin headers. I cant find a motherboard with 3pin headers. Sadly though, some time ago I bought two...

    No image when inserting GPU in working rig

    Actually I did reset the CMOS and tested the ram on all 4 slots. I am uncertain if I did those 2 simultaneously though

    OCZ Transitions Deeper Into Toshiba With New Website, Products

    Heres something funny. Back in 2015(circa) I bought an OCZ SSD, a 460A. Now , when I bought it I was bombarded with messages by OCZ about how great their new warranty was, hoe I could throw away my receipt and just use my product number for the warranty, how they would do this and that. Fast...

    ASUS Radeon R9 390X STRIX GAMING 8GB & BenQ XL2411Z

    Well the thing about these new gpus is that while they will indeed be more expensive, they will also be a lot stronger. To put this into context , a 480x could perform almost like a 980ti. As a result , a card like a 1060/480 or even a 470x will probably be equal to the 390x. Then you just...

    ASUS Radeon R9 390X STRIX GAMING 8GB & BenQ XL2411Z

    I am not 100% what your friend meant by that , so lets break it down: If he meant that a R9 390X does not have the necessary performance to manage 144fps on AAA games, then yes, he is correct. No GPU in the market right now can manage 144fps in 2560x1440p , unless you set details to very low...

    Second GTX 970 for SLI when their prices eventually drop, or wait for the 1070(Maybe 1080)

    Yeah, I am on the same boat mate, R9 390 here. Dont go SLI, just wait. Our GPUs can handle pretty much everything right now, maybe we settle for 8X AA instead of 16X but I think that aint such a big deal. Just wait for the 1070 and 1080. In all honestly, I will probably wait for Vega from AMD in...

    Asus STRIX GTX960 DC2OC 4GD5 or SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 380 4G D5

    Man please oh please dont get a gpu right now. The new GPUs coming out by both NVidia and AMD in june/july will offer massive performance and power usage gains. Buying a GPU right now is a waste of money, just wait one month!

    Asus Laptop with no Windows 10 drivers?

    So my sis bought a laptop back in 2012 , the ASUS X53Sc. Now the time has come for her to install Windows 10, and she even bought a SSD to speed things up. Thing is, there are no drivers for Win10 in the ASUS website. even for Windows 8, there are only 2 drivers compared to the 18+ drivers...
