I think I came across that one but thought there must be a larger selection. To be honest I was eyeing up the WD routers (cable). Yeah I remember all the draft-n nonsense, I was under the impression wireless ac was being picked up a lot faster. My parents are the sort of people who will buy a...

Hi guys & gals, My parents current netgear DGN3300 (ADSL modem/router combo) range is no longer proving to be adequate (Could be reduced Tx power due to neighbours interference). I'm very comfortable with networks (I run my own custom router on Ubuntu at my place), however I'm not so up to date...

Yeha I appreciate that... I actually managed to get it to 5ghz after posting this... I find overclocking intel a tad more confusing than amd! Basically I had to reduce the offset, and increase the load line calibration to high. I reset the fclock (autotune changes it) and then had a fiddle ended...

Hi guys, I've got a 2500k, that about a year ago I had running at 5Ghz fine. I believe my core voltage was 1.45V (I think) & I know that pretty much everything was on auto, apart from the voltage being offset (I had offset mode not manual) by a certain amount. I started getting blue screens...

Ok thanks for your help, as you said I'll see what WC's have to say.

For £225 I don't mind paying for the vapor-x http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0091MFBZC/ref=asc_df_B0091MFBZC11341244?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B0091MFBZC Is it reference PCB? Funnily enough my 4870 was also the Vapor -x toxic! However for...

Hi Guys, I'm a bit rusty on the gfx side of things, my machine still has my HD4870! I've decided I want to get a 7950, as I don't mind OC'ing the card - my intentions are to play BF3 2560x1440, and SupCom2 mainly However I would like to know what you guys think is the best version (Bare in...

alextheblueThe newer Xbox 360 consoles have several advantages over older ones, but they are NOT more powerful. CPU and GPU performance have remained the same from start to finish. As far as I was aware the 360 slim had die shrink SoC implementation (rather than seperate CPU/GPU), which allowed...

dark_lord69I wrote a blog post about how console makers should add GPU upgradability and how it could be done. Nice to see an idea like this is seriously on the table.My blog basically talks about how you would need to keep it simple and how the upgrade could work similar to the hard drive...

laststop311This will never happen. A playstation operating system that you install on your PC. That turns your PC into a playstation. First sony needs everybody to have all the exact same hardware so the games can be optimized properly and everyone has a good equivalent experience. Second, with...

vrumorAnd then youd have a PC. Great idea. /s To be fair sony make a loss on the hardware... by offering simplified hardware upgrades with a markup could add revenue people. Would be even better if sony began to offer the PS OS (assuming if it is running on an AMD APU it's x86 arch) for a...

Fact of the matter is the average computer user (Probably not anyone on this site!) will never take their computer apart or complete self repairs. You'll probably find a large proportion of mac users aren't 'Stupid' , they just have the money to pay for a machine & service, that simplifies...

The Define R4 does have a removable lower cage. They do this so that you can in fact move the lower cage back slightly and fit a 240 rad in the front. This is the setup I have (CPU cooling only) and it is beautifully quiet. My PC is mostly used for work where I need a fast CPU, so I just put up...
