    Possible bootleg Kingston DDR3 RAM?

    It was the best choice at the time. Other computer shops at the time were offering non branded/label RAM chips while costing $50+. Oh well. That answers it. Thanks guys. =)

    Possible bootleg Kingston DDR3 RAM?

    So I guess is it normal that these Kingston RAM have no real info on CPU-Z or perhaps it's just the mobo / detection software?

    Possible bootleg Kingston DDR3 RAM?

    Well, it's the cheapest 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM stick I can find, just in a local shop. Costed about $45 per RAM stick. I bought two.

    Possible bootleg Kingston DDR3 RAM?

    I just bought these 2x 8GB Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz RAM and noticed something peculiar..... I just loaded up CPU-Z for fun and the memory information seems bizarre. The detected data has no manufacturer and the serial number just says "KETECH" Does anyone have more information regarding this...

    Current equivalent GPU to GTX 560

    My GTX 560 GPU has just died, it is now showing graphical corruption even in the BIOS after it has crashed. So the GPU is in it's last legs, so what's the GPU's today that has similar performance to the GTX560? I am not really that into high end games so a similar performing chip would be great...

    Computer all of a sudden is lagging after I did a complete reset.

    Kind of obvious but have you updated your GPU drivers by download the ones from the official website?

    Questions about RAID 0

    I do not mind the risk of data loss on the striped drives. That's a risk I'm willing to take. But still if the overall performance of the drive would be slower (Except for the read speed.) then I guess I would just keep the drives seperate. Thank you for replying. :) Thank you for the reply. :)

    Throttling from Hell

    Solution 1 : Try VPN. Sometimes it confuses the ISP enough so you get improved speeds. Usually it doesn't work though. Solution 2 (Best Solution) : Don't torrent.

    Mixing RAMS - OK???

    Generally there shouldn't be problems. Typically the faster RAM will be downclocked to the speed of the slower RAM. But rarely sometimes there will be issues, but this is typically because of the settings not compatible with one of the RAM modules. :) . In those cases manually setting RAM...
