Hi all, Something i thought you guys might find interesting, dont worry its free :). I've been doing a PhD in quantum computation at Sussex and tomorrow (Tuesday 11th) we're taking it to Spitalfields market, London. It's designed as a public outreach event to help explain ion-trap quantum...

Hi, Just got this monitor today and it looks fantastic. However, in low lighted scenes i seem to be getting yellowish tints in the corners of the screens (mainly on the left side). Anyways have a look and see whether you think its just making a fuss about nothing. The side on pictures seem to...

Hey guys, I've currently got a 2*4GB kit @1.65V 2400Mhz 11-12-12-31 timings. It has come to a stage now where this is no longer good enough. I'm now planning on getting this to go with that kit http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-061-TG The only difference is the timings @...

Hey guys, I run the university of liverpool gaming society and we're fed up of having to take our mointors along with hefty rigs for our lan events. Our guild of students is allowing us to bid on a £5000 grant (split between other societies) and we want to buy about 10-15 or so which we'll...

Hey all, Just switched my my nvidia 560ti to AMD 290x. I often switch between using my headphones and speakers and since switching to the 290x, i find it takes forever to load the windows sound panel. Anyone got this problem/ a fix? TA MUCHLY

Hey all, I'm almost at the point now where im gonna bite the bullet and shell out £700-£900 on new monitor and graphics card. I'm totally sold on the 21:9 3440*1440 monitor design and AOC are releasing a really nice one for £500 in September in the UK. This leaves me with £200-£400 for a...

Hey guys, My current Logitech 5.1 speaker system is slowly dying so time for an upgrade. Not fussed if they're 5.1 or whatever as I have a gaming headset for all that stuff. £60 budget, can go over if need to. Suggestions?

Hey guys and gals, Last year me and a few friends rescued my friends ancient laptop and built him a decent-ish computer from spare parts that we had. He was using my old Q6600, some gigabyte mobo and 8GB of DDR2 ram which earlier this morning passed away :(. Naturally, he needs these replaced...

I just saw this graphics card for £320. Anyone used KFA2 (or even heard of it) before? http://www.ebuyer.com/620192-kfa2-gtx-780-3gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-card-78xnh5dn8mst-oem

I hope to dear god this is true. "Battlefield 4 has been marred with server issues, bugs, crashes and there were reports that some of the games features were simply missing. Obviously Dice didn’t send out a finely polished game and instead rushed to hit a dead line to get the game on the...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd come give you guys a hand with your folding. Hopefully put my, completely pointless for me, 4770k to some use :P I used to do other computing for CERN and SETI but I thought may aswell help people live instead... also, F@H can use GPU's making me more helpful with...

Just seen this on tech powerup which even futher supports what Tom said in his video about the similarities between the 7970 and 280x, i.e. The two cards can be crossfired together they are that similar. http://www.hardware-360.com/amd-radeon-r9-280x-and-radeon-7970-work-in-crossfire/

Hi guys, I'm building a CAD computer for my friend who plans to use AutoCAD 2014, SketchUp, and Revit. I'm struggling to find much information about what is better, AMD vs Intel. Here's his current build and I can't help but think that the i7 is massive overkill already for him compared to the...

Hey, I've got me a 4770k with a z87 msi gd65 mobo. After sorting out a faulty mobo I can get a stable overclock at 4.3Ghz at 1.22V and peak temps of 75C. I plan to leave EIST on because at the end of the day, i don't want to draw power for 4.3 all the time; it's not great for anything! Any...

Hey, I bought some Corsair Vengeance ram 2133Mhz and i turned on the xmp setting on my mobo and it wouldn't run. Everything else is at stock settings. I thought xmp was guaranteed right?
