A firewall is an essential aspect of computing and no PC should ever be without one. That’s why Windows has one bundled and active as standard. Windows Firewall occasionally has to be told to let a program communicate with the network, which is where opening ports comes in. If you want to open...

It appears that there are two sets of power sensors on the GPU. MSI Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector's "Total Power Usage" are both identical values. Meanwhile, HW Monitor, GPU-Z and Nvidia Inspector's "GPU Power Usage" are identical values. So from the above, it's pretty clear that there are...

Biological computers are the most interesting pieces of hardware you will ever see. Instead of using transistors, biological computers use biomolecules to do all the calculations. The beauty of using biomolecules is that you can create a CPU that can compute several calculations all at the...

Im looking to get a I7 3930k just for a rendering setup. I had a look at ark.intel for some info on the cpu and I was suprised to see that the cpu only handles low fequency ram (sort of - DDR3 1066/1333/1600). The motherboard that I plan to get supports ram upto 3000 frequency, if I get some...

I know this isn´t about pc gaming but consoles gaming, but it was the nearliest topic to it. I´m deciding between these games:Batman arkham knight vs GTAV(both for ps4). They cost the same, around 40€. Many people say batman is a very good game, but I've never played or watch a video about it...

Okay so my current system consists of an AMD FX 6300 @ stock speeds, as I do not have an aftermarket cooler, and an NVIDIA GTX 660. Would it be better to upgrade to Intel for CPU or upgrade the GPU to a 970 or equal card? I have noticed that Intel exceeds AMD when playing Arma 3 and other games...

So, like my title, VMware player is not supported by Windows 10 :( What do I do now?!? Virtualbox? anyone? Thanks!

Do I look for PCs designed for gaming like a Cybertron (my thinking being that their video processor and audio card would be higher end than most generic purpose PCs like a Dell or HP -- and admittedly that thinking could be totally bogus), or do I just go for the high end PC with the fastest...

Just a quick question to anybody that might know, would this be a viable upgrade? I mainly use my computer for gaming, and felt the need to upgrade my CPU to something a -little- bit nicer, and hoping to at least have some sort of improvement while playing games. Other specs: GPU: GTX 960 SC...
