Hi there, so as above my GPU fan's aren't spinning up in response to temperature unless Afterburner is open. I've tested this by running FurMark with Afterburner open, hearing the fans spin up, then closing After burner leaving FurMark open, the fans slow back down to idle speeds and the temp...

I've just upgraded to Skylake - vhappy with everything so far. Got an Asus z170-a w/ i5 6600k and 16GB HyperX DDR4 2666MHz. One thing I didn't take in to account was my sound card. It turns out the slot needed for this (PCI) is just under where my graphics card is located so using this won't...

Okay, so the time has come for me to scrap the hunk of junk monitor im using right now (5 year old TFT from my sister's old computer) and by myself a proper 1080p monitor for enthusiast gaming. Problem is I've pretty much spent my budget on building my rig so i can only go to around £100 for...
