I'm runing Windows 10 on my SSD and my games and media on my 2 WD black hard drives do I need to run the crystaldiskmark software to make sure the drives run at full speed and healthy ? Can that tool damage Windows files ?

Hi there, Im currently upgrading my system from a ASUS GTX 670 Strix to either a ROG 1080 Strix or a ROG 1080ti Strix. I dont know if its worth it to get the ti version as there is a £290 difference between the two (in my country). I would like to get the ti version, as its fresh out, and...

HDPE (high density polyethlyene) is one of the best plastics for chemical resistivity (moreso than acrylic for sure). Even the solvent weld stuff from TAP won't touch it. I'm wondering if this quality is also inherent in PE tubing. It's a thermoplastic, probably doesn't have much or any...

Hi Guys, I have an old Dell Optiplex 7010 SFF with a blower fan for cooling the CPU and exhausting air. But I want to build my that PC into a ATX case. But because that case doesn't support blower fans, I need to use a regular CPU cooler. I'm going to use a stock intel cooler that uses 0.17...

My building provides free wifi for residents. The wifi is NOT password protected, but it does have a sign-in page where you accept T&Cs. Can I use a WiFi range extender to connect to such as network and boost its strength? Edit: I am considering the Netger EX2700 or TPLink TL-WA855RE. I do not...

Hi all, I am kind of new to the 3DMARK bench mark and was wondering if anybody could help understand if the tests I ran while overclocking with a stable system is actually good compared to others. I did compare online and it did say i was 92% better than other results but I am just being fussy...

Hi! My laptop screen recently stopped working, so I've been looking to get it repaired. Problem is, none of the screens I try will display anything. In fact, the few external monitors I've tried don't work either. The only way I can get it to work is by hooking it to my tv via hdmi. I have no...

Hi! I've been on tomshardware before with issues and solved issues but this time it's way out of my capability. 4 days ago when I started up my PC it was some Windows upgrade (I have Windows 10) and I thought everything was fine, after the update was done it logged in to my PC like normal...

I bought a prebuilt gaming PC to play newer games easily. It works well but I would like to add some more power to it. My current motherboard is a Gigabyte 760G AM3+ Micro ATX and was wondering if this would struggle with a new CPU(FX-8350) and a new GPU(EVGA GTX 1060 3GB)? If it won't work I...

Currently saving up money for a second GTX 1070. I already know which one I want (Gigabyte Xtreme if they ever are available, G1 if they're not). My concern is that with two GPUs putting heat out directly into the case, the top card might see some pretty high temperatures. My case is a Cooler...

I just received all my parts and started building only to realize I don't have enough case fan ports. This is my first time building a PC so I don't know what to do. All my case fans are 3 Pin

Just wondering if you guys could look over the part list for my second build and see if you have any comments or recommendations. The pc will be used for gaming, programming, photo/movie editing and pretty much the works. I also love to run a thousand applications at once...

Im trying to build a cheapish computer for my son who is going into his 2nd year of college and was looking at a CPU that could be overclocked but would still have good performance with its 6 cores and hyper threading. I know Sandy Bridge is about 5 years old know but its the modern socket and I...

I currently have a 120GB SSD with Windows on and a 1TB HDD for games and storage. The 1TB HDD is running out of space and i think im going to buy a new extra HDD. My question is: Is the installation of the HDD just plugging in the SATA connector to the motherboard and turning on the computer?

The store near me offers these motherboard under 70 euros (which is my budget). Asus h110m-K/D/A/C MSI h110m Pro D Gigabyte h110m S2/S2H The most important thing to me is the life span and protection from overheating and electricity, because i live in a area with bad power installation so...

I bought a crucial bx200 240gb ssd. Installed it correctly and I cloned the windows partition on my 1tb hdd to my ssd, after I did that, I changed my boot drive in the bios to my ssd, but nothing changed. I've tried it several times but nothing is getting saved I think. :/ (Don't ask if I...
