I have 8gb DDR4 RAM, i5 7600k, PNY gtx 970 and a 24 pin PSU and I’m looking for a micro atx / atx motherboard for around £80. Any suggestions?

I recently build a new gaming system with the i7 7700k on a Corsair H90 aio in push configuration. Currently overclocked to 5.2 ghz (1.412 vcore) idle is normal at 40-45C but in Intel's bench it reaches 100C. Any thoughts on how the water 3.0 or h115 would handle this chip?

Hi, So I recently got the title card and wanted to dabble with OCing the card beyond the quick boost options from Firestorm.

All I need is a case, power supply, motherboard and cpu. I am really torn between AMD and Intel. AMD is waaay cheaper and I will be using it for gaming ( I have a gtx 760 ). So could you tell me which to buy and give me a reason why ? Heres the Intel option: PCPartPicker part list / Price...

Hi there, Today, for 4 hours, I went nuts working with Uverse 3800HGV-B. This small store has only this modem/router. When attached to Port 2 of the Uverse, my Opiplex has internet in DHCP mode. When I configure the optiplex as 192.168.1.60 (so it is out of the DHCP range of 192.168.1.64 to...

Hi. I have HP Elite microtower 7300 for quite some time now and I desperately need to upgrade my GPU, but my PSU won't handle it, so I need also a new one and case because these components won't fit in microtower. So if i Buy GTX 770 (or R9 280x, haven't decided yet), corsair VS 650/CX 750 and...

Hey Tom's Hardwarers. This is a re-post of a really annoying issue I'm having that was originally posted in the Windows 7 forum. However, I think I have ruled out an OS issue and hardware/driver issue is most likely. Just not sure how to nail this down and fix it. Hopefully someone can help me...

Dear fellows, I might have read some threads/created others, but either I didn't read them thorough, or just didn't understand. Please don't think I'm stupid, though... So, the question is: (Just a rude example, it doesn't have to be Maya, just any program that theoretically could take up all...

So I got my X-Fi ExtremeGamer Fatal1ty in the other day from Newegg, and installed it. I start the computer up and boot into Windows (I use Vista-64bit SP1) and it goes through the "let-me-search-for-a-driver-for-you" crap, and about a minute later after windows tries to install the device for...

Was thinking about Intel's pricing choices, how they have lowered prices more than needed to gain some market share and do well, just in order to "regain" the market share (from the recent 75% back up to 80%?) that they had. Normally a business tries to maximize profits over time, but Intel...
