I just built a PC and everything runs fine using everyday programs such as Google Chrome but I will be gaming and I've heard that it is essential to stress test a few components to see how everything is running. I'm looking to test my CPU, RAM and GPU. I won't be overclocking until much later...

I decided to attempt to fix it one more time. It turns out when i plugged in the Sata Power cable on the plug I saw a dramatic difference in temperature. It stopped rising from 40 to 80 in 2 minutes and went around 19 to 25 in about 10 minutes. Ill come back later to share more results but...

I recently built a new PC and it was fine starting up but I noticed when it got to the BIOS I could see the CPU Temperature rise from about 40 - 80 degrees in about 2 minutes. I am using a VIII Hero with a H110i GT to cool the CPU.Is this a common problem with BIOS readings? I also noticed that...

Im currently looking for a monitor which has an IPS Panel and preferably a resolution of at least 1440p. I play a few games but I don't need features such as 144 Hz and G-Sync as I feel I don't play games to the point where they would benefit me for the price. I would much rather enjoy a...

I can't seem to find any good list of differences anywhere so I'm hoping that maybe someone here will know the answer. I'm looking at two Z170 boards, the VIII Hero and the VIII Ranger. I simply just want to know the differences and why those differences could be beneficial. The pricing between...

I'm looking to buy a case and it has come down to the Corsair 450D, 750D & Fractal Design Define S. Within the next year, I will be adding a Custom Loop to my system and I want enough room to do this whilst making the case look good. The reason why I can't pick is because each case seems to have...

Is the Corsair RM750i a good tier PSU because I can't seem to find much information on it. Would you recommend any other PSU around the same price range. I'm looking to get one which will last me a good amount of years, capable of SLI & overclocking , preferably 80+ Gold & Up and quiet but...

In a few months time I am visiting New York for a casual holiday and I had the thought of buying a graphics card there. I plan on getting a GTX 970 from a US Site rather than the UK because it seems that I could save a substantial amount of money by doing so. I have a friend living in New York...

GTX 970 R9 390 I've been looking at the 970 and the 390 and both seem to have their own advantages, for example, the 970 has less power consumption and the 390 has 8 GB of VRAM. I've seen a lot of different opinions telling me which one to go for but I had found that the 390 (Strix) was a card...

Cheers

Sorry I can't really reply fast as I only have my phone right now but anyways, I am only going for watercoolers for the aesthetic (whilst having good performance as well). I prefer to not have a fairly large block over the cou. I am gladly willing to replace the fans on the radiators as well to...
