Hi All, I've been having some fun tuning my memory, but I seem to have hit a wall. My second kit of ram came in, and I've got it tuned to 3800mhz 16-16-16-32. I'm happy with the performance here, and I can run memtest 1200% stable no problem.... Until I stress my GPU at the same time. After...

Hey all, So I've been messing around with RiftCat VRidge (basically, it uses an android phone to emulate an HTC vive or Oculus Rift, though I've not been able to get the Rift emulation to work right). It works pretty well - the latency isn't as bad as you'd think unless you go above 792p (no...

Looking to upgrade my boot drive, as I've got this m.2 slot looking so empty and lonely. Where I live, the pricing of the 960s are about a full third more expensive per storage bracket. Obviously the 960 is markedly faster, but is there going to be a noticeable difference? I mean, 1570MB/s...

Hi all, So I just had a financial windfall, so I finally ditched my Asrock Extreme3 that came with my 8320 (which couldn't deliver enough power to run stock speeds without the VRMs overheating and throttling the CPU). So, I did some research this time and decided upon the Asus 970 pro...

First, a thanks to all the members of this forum, whose archived posts have been a great help in making my PCs better, then a bit betterer, then unbreaking it after I made it "bettererer". Hopefully, I've learned from enough mistakes to start giving back a bit to the community... If not, look...
