so the questions im going to ask are probably pretty stupid but oh well i want to liquid cool a r9 290x (reference card) but on its own loop (the nh-d15 works just fine for the cpu) since money is a rather huge factor since i dont have too much of it, heres the questions does the pump have to...

Greetings :) I'm a noobie gamer who is late at joining the club. I have the option of upgrading my graphics card now, but I'm not sure what to get. I've been familiarising myself with new acronyms lately and thus far, the gtx 970 4GB is slightly nudging its 960 (GB) brother out the way...

So this graphics card has Supplementary Power Connectors of 6 pin and 8 pin. Do I need to connect both of those pins? My psu does have a wire with a 8 pin and 6 pin connector. (Or do I just connect the 8 pin). PS: Sorry this may be a stupid question, first time builder here :D

I have an AMD A8 5600k and a GTX960 that's pretty bottlenecked. If i buy an AMD Radeon R9 280 it should be better? In games like GTA V or GTA IV.

Is there any way to move windows 7 64 bit from a 500GB WD Blue HDD to samsung evo 850 SSD without formatting? like keep all my files and just move it to SSD? also i bought another WD BLUE HDD with 1TB Storage. how do i partition it? like my current 500GB WD HDD is divided to 4 partitions...

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the above subject. I grow irked when people feel that liquid cooling is the most appropriate cooling solution for the average Joe overclocked PC build and sincerely encourage people to use air and use the ~£50 on alternative hardware where people will...

Hi, I was thinking of buying this laptop for school/games, particularly GTAV for PC, can this run it? https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/product/hp-15-6-intel-i7-750gb-notebook-331494/

Call me crazy but i'm speculating that the guy who assembled my PC at the shop (cause i dont know how to do it myself) switched my brand new motherboard with an identical one that is already used and older. He dint assemble my rig in front of me, so i wouldn't know if he used the brand new parts...

I will be building a pc (first time), and I need help with picking a GPU. I will be overclocking I would like to in the future to make a custom loop that cools that gpu (Maybe 1-2 years after buying a cooler.) Which of these coolers should I get with what fan? I heard good stuff about...

Thanks to Vegas, I've found myself with $650 dollars that my wife has allowed me to use it on myself. I'm thinking I might want to upgrade my system, but I don't know where I should spend it. Main reason I want to upgrade is it has been about over 2 years since my build, and I always consider...

Ok, so I have spent quite a bit of money and spent hours researching different threads and trying solutions. I am out of ideas. The problem is my CPU(FX-8350) is underperforming miserably. I have every single game I play on the lowest possible settings with a majority of them off and I still...

So I have been building a pc for a bit now and I'm not sure what psu I should get. I have a asus m5a97 r2.0 motherboard, a msi r9 270 2g GPU and a amd fx 8350 CPU. I also am thinking of getting a second 270 card down the road, and preferably under 100$ but can go over if I have to.

So I was looking closely at my Nexus 6, and noticed to the left of the top speaker is some camera/ir blaster looking thing that from what I've tried doesn't do anything. Does anybody know what it does?

I disabled my AMD card and now i cant enable it back, no video input found. plz help me

I have found pricing of SSDSC2BP480G4R5 nearly $200 less than SSDSC2BP480G410 on several sites. I have a hard time deciding why a reseller kit (with all the extra's) would be less cost than the drive only package? Is there a difference inside? Are some core's locked off from defects? Is there a...

I've tried fixing this myself but can't think what else to try. None of the forum posts or whatever I've looked at seem to fix this exact problem. Most solutions require being able to boot Windows, which is the issue in the first place... What's been done: - Backup system image onto external...
