Hi, i recently found an old Asus DirectCU II GTX 580 and i was planning to put it in an old desktop pc lying around to make a quick half-decent gaming pc. When checking if the pc had the correct power cables, i found out that there were only two pci-e 6 pin connectors while the 580 requires two...

I'm putting together my new build somewhere in the middle of the year. With the 1060 already being over half a year old i'm worried if i buy it, in a short time it will be replace by the next generation and will be irrelevant. I want a gpu that was recently released, so i might purchase the rx...

My budget is around $1600aud, so should i get a i7 6700k system with mediocre parts or a 6600k with quality parts. thanks i5 pc with good parts:  https://www.centrecom.com.au/buildpc/50042 i7 pc with mediocre parts https://www.centrecom.com.au/buildpc/50041

I have a pretty good pc - GTX 780 I7 2600K 8GB RAM 1600MHz (Alienware Aurora r3) When i benchmark at maximum settings on unigine heaven - (8x aa, ultra, tesselation on extreme) i get pretty low scores. I usually get around 1500. Although this is still a great score and is pretty bad that i'm...

Hi I have an older alienware aurora r3 system with an upgraded graphics card and psu. Gigabyte windforce gtx 780 i7 2600k @3.4GHz:( 8gb ram @1600MHz Alienware set overclock profiles in the bios, and can supposedly go up to 4.1GHz, though when i apply it, with cpu-z it seems to stay at 3.4GHz...

Hi! I was looking for some extra performance since my system is an older one, so i used the alienware profiles that they set for you. I used it once and it didn't work (clocks were still at 3.4Ghz according to cpu-z) so i tried again. I saved and exited and got greeted by a 'windows has failed...

I am planning to upgrade my gtx 780 and i7 2600k, to a gtx 1060 (preferably a asus strix). I need a litte help deciding what cpu to pair with it, i cant afford an i7, so a i5 6600k will be fine, but should i wait until there will be a new 2016 model? Thanks, i tried to research future i5...

I have the MSI gtx 660 oc (factory overclocked by 26MHz) and since the card is getting old, i am upgrading soon, but first i want to overclock both my gpu and cpu to squeeze out the last performance left. I put it on +30MHz to get a little 5-10 fps boost. I did before and after in unigine heaven...

Ok so i found it was appying when my pc started to play up at 70+MHz but i realised im not getting any performance boost. Maybe an improved score of 1 in unigine heaven but still next to nothing

So im upgrading my pc in a couple of months. But before that i want to squeeze out the little power there is left in my old gtx 660. It has a default clock of 1006 (its factory overclocked) and i want to increase it. For the past month i have overclocked but now as i look on at the real time...

So after months of windows 10 failing to install it finally worked. I noticed that is was running slow and went to investigate. Upon opening task manager i found the idle ram/cpu usage increased a lot. Before after some tweaks in windows 8.1 the idle ram usage was about 1 - 1.1 gb. Now it is...

Hi There! I have a pc with a amd fx 6300 six core processor and a asrock 980de3/u3s3 motherboard. It's generally fast but can get laggy sometimes. After noticing how some people have the same pc as me but play things much faster and better i found out that on task manager>performance it says...
