I was running my computer fine and then all of the sudden, my drive letters changed on me. I was unsure on how to approach this because I know using the disk management panel can screw your computer up if you're stupid with it. Here's a picture of my drives: http://puu.sh/iy6Lr/e216f13fa8.png...

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...

Hey, I want to have 3 TB x 2 in raid 0, should this be just done in Software side or is it possible to do it in bios in my Asrock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard?

Hello guys, I've got the following problem.. Some games aren't on full screen, I don't know how to explain it, but the game is like zoomed-in. Some of the subtitles are going a little bit under the screen and I can't see them or the radar is too into the left. I found that someone has the same...

So I want to get rid of my stock fan and put a new one on, but there is some left over thermal paste... I know that to get rid of it you need 70-90% alcohol, but my question is this.. Where do you get it from and what type? Is it just stuff you get from the supermarket, or do you need to go to...

Hello, So my system has an i5 4670k and a gtx 780. I have done some research into overclocking but am still not certain on what the benefit is. My best guess at it is through skyrim. When i installed a foliage mod that added a lot more waving grass my fps plummeted. I assume this is due to my...

My pops is wanting to upgrade his laptop with a SSD. I recommended the Crucial MX100. I also suggesting adding the SSD as a second drive via drive caddy that replaces the cd-rom bay. Is there a free, easy to use cloning software he can use? He knows just enough to be dangerous around a computer...

Hi i have been stuck in a loop of "start,fail,restart" for a couple of hours now and I have managed to narrow it down to my HDD so i was going to reset it but my but my recovery media (which is my installation disk) is supposedly not valid and I can't use a recovery point on the HDD because...

OK, So I came down with a serious case of "upgrade my PC" fever. Thankfully it's not fatal. I self diagnosed myself a couple months ago after the MoBo on my 7 year old self-built PC died on me (Abit AN9 32X Fatal1ty. Loved that board) back in April. Several months and enough parts to build a...

What are safe changes when overclocking this, I'm primarily focused on overclocking the memory speed though?

Hey guys, basically my statement above is the issue. My OCZ 750w PSU won't deliver power to my system after transferring the entire system to another case. Today I upgraded from a Thermaltake Level 10 GTS mid tower to the larger Level 10 GT model; the only difference between the two systems...

This machine won't be for gaming, but CUDA rendering only attached my network. The best bang-for-buck card will be the GTX 780 6GB when's it's released. But if it only comes in the ACX style cooler, I'll probably opt for 3 Titans and add a 4th later. I'm also going to stick with air cooling, as...

I can easily get a 4.3 Ghz OC on my cpu with my h80i and Mpower Max z87, but I do not want to use a fixed voltage. I would like my cpu clock speed and voltage to decrease when idle and increase when under load. I was able to make my cpu ratio decrease when idle by setting the cpu ratio to 43 and...
