I want to connect gtx750 ti via riser to x4 slot on thin mini-itx motherboard. I doubt that compatibility will be problem since it claims to support GPU (actually, plenty of x1 ones are really existing). However, I heard that x4 slots have 25W power limitation while 750 ti draws 60W. Will be...

I bought used CPU cooler and it turned out to be the best suited. Now I need more of those but I wasn't able to find this model anywhere. Here's the picture: What I need that it provides: heatpipes, fan open from side (wider intake angle), 38mm high (could be few mm higher), not too loud...

Accidentally got hands on one of their CPU coolers which turned out to be perfect for my build. Now I need more of these but I don't know model, scoping through internet shops didn't help. Tried their website (was on cooler) and... server is not responding. Weren't able to find any info about...

Less then month ago set up PC with it on Windows XP 64 bit (latest OS with official drivers, kx ones weren't working when I tried Windows 7). Card worked fine with official driver, no problems. Then I tried to install iTunes to sync my iPod (make sense since all my music now there) and it turned...

So I have that old Sound Blaster Live! on my hands (found in old harware stash) and I managed to make it work couple of times. However, it stopped worked again so I considering buying something more modern. Will Asus Xonar DGX give at least same quality boost? I have next to none spare change...

I've found in old hardware stash 4 pin fan splitter (to two 4 pin fan headers) and thinking about using it to power two 2 pin fans (60mm and 40mm). What troubles me is when I tried to find such splitter on web I have not succeed and all advises on multiple case fans are "use molex". Are those...

Bought Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI for A10-7800. To be able to use FM2+ processors with it (and A10-7800 is FM2+) you have to update bios first and to update bios you need CPU. So I had to buy cheap FM2 CPU and try to return it (successfully) afterwards. Besides that, nice motherboard, easy OC...

When I tried to cool passively gtx970. Used Arctic Accelero S3, then made "duck tape" quality connection between spare Titan TTC-NK95/HS heatsink and Arctic's cooper pipes to increase efficiency. And... no, that isn't a point, it worked!! But that frankenstein wouldn't fit in any case, moreover...

I've got new PSU, it have only one molex connector but there are some spare sata power connector on it. So I have two options: 1) Use molex splitter then use 2 molex->8pin. On one side, max currency for molex is 11A so 12V*11A=132W while PCI-E specification claims max usage 150W on 8pin. On...
