Closed loop coolers don't usually need refilling. Make sure your radiator is not dusty and make sure it has easy access to the vents.

The 6600k is a better processor. All benchmarks I've seen have shown that it outperforms the 4690k. It is also far more power efficient and has much better on board graphics. These benchmarks from Tom's hardware includes both the 4690k and 6600k...

What is the name of your motherboard and CPU? It may not support higher frequencies. If you do use the new modules, all the modules will be lowered to the frequency of the lowest stick installed, which is 1066MHz. It might work, but it's much better to have all the same frequencies, so I think...

Probably about £700-£800. Just use pc part picker. Put all your components in there and it'll give you a price. You can pick the store yourself or it'll just find the cheapest store for each component. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

I used this site to calculate your power consumption. It came out with 439W, assuming you'll be using 2 120mm LED case fans and 2 RAM modules (Link to RAM didn't work). You'll be fine with a 600W PSU. I use a 550W PSU and the components in my PC use more power than the components listed above...

Introduction Hello, I recently made the mistake of purchasing a GTX 970 from Palit. The performance is fine, however the problem is that the fan is ridiculously loud and runs at around 80% - 100% speed when playing a game like Far Cry 4 or running 3DMark just to keep the card at around 80...

The temperatures look fine. I don't think your problem with ARMA II is a hardware issue. It sounds more like a software problem. Try looking around, see if anybody else has the problem.

If you ever need to check if your PC can run a game, use Can You RUN it. It compares your specs with the requirements of any game you select http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

I recently installed a new hard drive and re-installed windows, now my sik usage never goes above about 20%. However I had the same problem, and although this solution didn't completely solve it, it definitely helped: 1. Go to Control Panel> All control panel items > System 2. Click on Advanced...

I Installed the windows 8 installer to the USB stick, booted from it on the PC and all works well, Thank you for all of your help!

I have decided to plug the good hard drive on my broken PC to the PC I am using now. I will then install windows 8 to that, and thanks to mBarnes86 giving the Nirsoft Produkey tool, I was able to find my key and use it to install Windows 8 to the hard drive. I will then hopefully be able to boot...

This is a long and complicated issue to explain. And I think there is probably going to be a long and complicated answer if anyone can find one I recently found all of the files on my computer corrupted. When I look in My Computer the hard drive shows up as being 0Mb free of 3Mb, it is a 700Gb...
