Hi, I've had an issue with data recovery for two of my drives, recently. My first drive is my SD card, accidentally formatted from PAL to NTSC, losing all of my camera footage which I know was idiotic. My second drive was my 3TB Samsung external HDD. I'm not sure what happened, maybe the power...

I understand that Server 2016 doesn't always mean the PC needs a super fast graphics card but I have a few spare laying around the place and would like to know if any of the 10-series graphics cards from nvidia are compatible with Microsoft Server 2016? I have a GTX 1080, 1070, 1060 and 1050Ti...

Hey everyone I would really appreciate some help on this issue I'm having. I changed out my CM CL 280 AIO for a Kraken X61 as the pump was really loud and it rattled. I got the AM4 bracket and installed the cooler but had to use 3rd party thumbscrews to hold the cooler in. It seemed tight...

Hello, I upgraded my PC from an i7 5820K and Asus Sabertooth X99 to an R7 1800X, with 16GB 3000MHz RAM and a Gigabyte Aorus AX-370 Gaming K5 Motherboard (not the same as Gaming 5). Never mind why I upgraded, that's irrelevant. I'm getting terribly sluggish and bad windows performance and I'm...
