Hi, I noticed a TV out on the street that had been thrown out. It was near my house, so I thought why not take it and have a look to see what is wrong with it. Here’s what happens: Plug power cord into outlet. A very faint sound can be heard coming from one of the components on the power...

Any idea what the expected temps are for the 6600k with AVX stress tests? I've read tests that use AVX instructions can lead to very high temps. I am going to remount though as it does feel like something is wrong.

Hmm. Any idea why my board defaults to 1.368v then? I have to use AMD Overdrive to lower the voltage as the BIOS doesn't permit undervolting. I can only add more volts. I will have to lower the volts some more soon to see what happens. I do recall the CPU freezing under stress tests if I tried...

I've recently been messing around with my older system to see if I can solve the VRM issue I seem to be having on this board. The CPU it's paired with is an AMD Athlon X4 860K. CPU will simply throttle (1.7GHz) even when CPU temps don't look horrible. I originally thought it was my CPU cooler...

It looks like the CPU is clocking at 2.2GHz for some reason. Whether it's stuck at this speed or is occasionally throttling is not yet known. Run a game or benchmark again that puts significant load on the CPU to see if it ramps up as it should. If it's staying locked at 2.2GHz or less, that's...

Recently my Audio Technica M40X have broken one side and now require some tape to hold together properly. I am looking to replace them and have a £200 budget to work with. I was just wondering if there's anything out there that's significantly better than the M40X's that fits into the £150-200...

Is the LG one any good?

Hello, I've been looking to upgrade my monitor. I'm looking to buy a 29" IPS 1080p Ultrawide monitor but have no idea what brand to get. My current monitor is a 24" Acer S243HL and I'd like my new monitor to be a decent upgrade. I watch a lot of TV shows and movies on my PC and play some...

Hello, My CPU is overclocked to 4.4GHz running with 1.248v Vcore. This overclock was done during winter. My room temp has increased to around 29-31c due to the ongoing heatwave that has hit the UK. There's no AC in my home to correct this issue, so I just have to deal with it. However, now...

It was just a bad batch. Bought it from Currys and this one works fine.

So, I've had two of these keyboards so far from Amazon and both have had the exact same problem: that being whenever a key is spammed lightly, the keyboard acts as if you are holding the key down. It starts off fine and then pauses and spams the key like it's being held down by your finger. A...

Mouse doesn't track at all on my desk

What's a compatible hard plastic mouse pad for the Zowie FK1 mouse? This mouse has issues with the Steelseries 4HD pad so I'm in need of another equally as good that has no issues with tracking. Budget is around £20-25

Everything is connected as instructed by the Motherboard manual. I put the working memory stick in (any of the slots) and I can get into the BIOs. I put the other stick in (to attempt dual-channel) and boot fails. I then take out the known working memory and try the suspected bad RAM in each...
