Home built

Freddy Ruger here, thanks in advance for the advice. I have a 1TB M.2 and a 1/2 TB M.2, on my machine. I will be using my newly built PC for work and gaming so should I put windows on both and use the 1 TB for gaming and the other for work or is there a better option. My work is not storage...

Hey, i'm looking to build a fairly good pc, one for gaming a ultra 1080p as well as edit/render films. Both from time to time and of equal importance. I also want this PC to be easily upgradable and flexible to work with, and possibly even future proof. If you could tell me if it's good or not...

Hello i have a fairly simple question: I just installed windows XP on a system which someone gave away to me. I have another (older) system with windows xp installed and a bunch of important files stored. Can I simply remove the HDD containing the windows xp and important files, plug it to the...

Hi! I've bought a new motherboard, and when I'm about to connect the video card to the PCI-E X3 slot, it gets in the RAM's way. What should I do? The R9 390 doesn't fit right! Thanks.

Hello, I've been trying to wrap my head around how the whole PSU thing works but to no avail (doesn't help I have a migraine so even that sticky isn't too helpful atm), not to mention quite a few of the examples present across the board use maximum theoretical values which further confuse me...

So I'm looking to build a gaming PC with a gtx 970 in it, and was looking into buying a korean ( Qnix ) monitor. They're 1440p at 60hz but overclockable to 100-120 Hz. They only have 1 DVI input though. Would the 1 DVI input even be able to support 1440p at a higher refresh rate than 60?

Alright, so I'm kinda at the end of my rope on what to do exactly to find out what exactly is wrong. I thought I had the problem fixed, however it still persists, which actually confused me more. From the beginning I'll start. When my PC started to go under a little bit of heavy load such as...

Hi, I was thinking of buying this build in the coming months(can get it now but am going away in week, for all of july. Lucky me!)I will be using it primarly for gaming and thought that it was a pretty good set-up for my price point, €850 or £670. I just wanted to see what the community thought...

Hi. Common issue: windows 7 doesn't recognize my videocard (HD3650) because it's AGP. AMD has a hotfix for this but I can't find it on their website anymore. I did a forum search and in old posts the links don't work anymore. Searching the internet the closest I could find was this...

Hi Today I've finally recieved my asus vg248qe and after running pixel tester to make sure everything is ok, ive detected a pixel that is brighter than the other ones What is this and how to fix it?

New build for a friend, so the parts have no use and are dust free. Like I mentioned, pc works for about an hour then the system shuts off. PSU switch must be flipped to turn back on. He says it's randomly and not just when under load. CPU and GPU temps seem to be fine. Is the PSU just a dud...

Hey, People have been making rumours of Nvidia Maxwell/800 Series which i am waiting for due to the 780 Ti almost catching up on dual GPU and i bet the 880 will overlap the 690 and 7990. But all of the rumours have been Nvidia but whats with AMD? Does AMD have unveiled any plans for Next Gen...
