Hey guys, Here's a challenge for you!! Last night I got in after a stressful 9 hour car journey from work through floods. My eyefinity setup has been working like a charm since Christmas with a 6950, 3 1080p LG monitors (all the same model) and an XFX mini-displayport to DVI adapter...

Hey Can I crossfire an XFX 6950 2gb card (unflashed) with an MSI 6970 card? I have heard that it is possible but both cards will run as a 6950. To be honest I am OK with this, mainly seeing as the 6970 is actually cheaper than the 6950 in this instance! Thanks

Hey guys, Couple of questions. 1. What is the best method of spreading? Just a simple dot in the centre and smush the cooler on top with a bit of twisting? 2. How good is the thermal compound that comes with the NH-D14? As good as arctic silver 5? Cheers!! xxx

Hi fellas! Been having some trouble with some old games in Windows 7. Have come to the conclusion that the best (and in fact only) solution to my problems is to dual boot Windows 7 with Windows XP. I am thinking more along the lines of doing a fresh install of XP on a completely separate SATA...

Hey guys, I just bought a very old game, American Conquest: Divided Nation, second hand from Amazon. I have the first two American Conquest games and I know that they do not natively run on Windows 7, but I created a dmcr.BAT file to make them work (fixes coulours by disabling windows aero) on...

Hey guys, I am currently looking to upgrade my system with a i7 2600k, an Asrock Fatal1ty p67 motherboard and, of course, a Noctua DH-H14! I was just wondering if any of you could recommend a retailer where I could pick up these parts for the cheapest. At the minute I will be using ebuyer...

Just a very basic generic question When changing just the motherboard and processor of a system, but keeping RAM, graphics card, SSD, HDD etc. etc, I have heard that windows appears fraudulent, saying that it is 'not genuine'. Is this the case? If so, how would you fix it? Just type in the...
