Hi guys, been reading pages and pages of "how to overclock" stuff and other peoples clocks and how they have achieved them. what ive noticed is my chip seems to get decent clocks on much lower voltage (checked on hwmonitor, cpuz, etc not just bios). Heres what ive currently got, any good...

When doing bugger all ive noticed that SLSVC.exe (some digital microsoft thingy) keeps popping up and hogging like 40-50% of my cpu. Ive taken a look at it and when I end it, my activation for vista goes off. Is there anything I can do abotu this annoying thing? Lower the priority maybe?

Hi there, Ive got a 26" Sharp Aquos TV rigged up to my pc (gtx280) via the standard pc connection (HD one doesnt seem to work). Problem is when I start up the pc it displays out of range until it is midway through booting vista and the pic comes on the screen. If I press delete during boot up...

Hi there, After waiting some time for my cpu cooler to arrive I have finally got it installed! Mind you there was hardly any room to get my fingers on those stupid push pins but I think its installed ok! Heres the specs; E8500 processor running at 3.3ghz with OCZ Vendetta 2 cooler Nvidia...

Hi there, I got 4gb of fast ram and was wondering if I really need my virtual memory settings on like 6gb. I thought if I got plenty of quick ram then surely disabling / minimising this would improve performance would it not? Id rather it use my physical ram rather than the hard drive yeah?

Hi there, I got a TJ07 as in http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/258-3/Silverstone-TJ07-FullTower-Case/ and as far as ive read the two fans on the back suppost to suck air in and the 2 big fans on the top blow the air up and out. When I got the case the fans were mounted the opposite way...

Hi there, Ive just ran cpuz on a evga 790i ultra board with an e8500 using a 620 corsair modular psu. All standard setting, no overclocking. The core voltage is showing up as 1.76 (on auto at 1.2) but it keeps dipping 0.1 or so causing the multiplier to drop to 6 from 9 and the processor...

Right lads, Just been buying a load of parts and will be riggin up shortly but the question is, is there any obvious weak links or something you would change? Case - Silverstone TJ07 Mobo - Evga Nvidia 790i ultra Processor - E8500 (EO stepping) Cooler - Xigmatek HGT 1283 Ram - Corsair...

Why cant I just PM someone? I get no option to do this. HazzyP

Yo fellas, Old skool gamer coming out of the dusty closet after a good 4-5 years and getting back on the scene. Before I packed in following the PC games scene (when my pc wouldnt play nothin worth playing) I was excited by the rumours surrounding Duke Nukem Forever as Duke Nukem was the first...

Hi there! Been out of the game for 10 years now but have decided to come back now prices and performance seem good. Been trawling different sites to build me a custom pc (considered trying myself but decided against it) and theres only 1 site where the prices are "reasonable" the rest just...
