Okay, so I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rig and I had the idea to use a usb-powered monitor instead of a traditional one for a few reasons. I'm in the navy and I'll be deploying soon, and power plugs are at a premium, so for my computer to only require one would be awesome. I also liked how...

I would like to find a PSU tester that test the units under load conditions using a selectable load switch. Does anyone know whee one could be found?? I havent found any. All of them seem to use idiot lights to indicate voltage output, but not under load.

Built a new computer about two months ago with Windows 10 and a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 graphics card. Everything was fine for 2 months but now every so often the monitor will go black, the fans will spin at max but the audio will continue. What's weird is that this only happens most frequently...

Hi, my mate was having some problems with a CPU overheating (to 90 degrees C!), so I removed the cooler to give it a good clean as it was pretty clogged with dust. Now I can't fit it back in place, the plastic bits that secure it in place seem to be locked in the open position so they don't fit...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a Fractal Design R5 and two more of the case fans that ship with it so that they had similar overall performance. (Also they match and I'm vain like that) Because of how many options are available in terms of fan mounts, I'm not totally sure what my ideal cooling...
