Hi everyone, I recently bought an i5 4690K and put it on an MSI Z97M Gaming board with a Noctua NH-D14 for cooling. I've been messing around with the overclock and managed to achieve 4.5GHz at 1.200 volts. Stressed this last night with Aida64 for around 2 hours 12 minutes and hit an absolute...

Hello, I am running: i5 4440 MSI H87I mobo CM Hyper TX3 EVO w/2x 92mm noctua fans in P/P 8GB HyperX Beast 1600 RAM (2X4GB) 250GB Samsund EVO 840 3 Noctua case fans (1x140mm, 2x120mm) I have about 6 devices connected by USB All being powered by a Corsair RM550 I am looking for a worthy GPU...

Or rather, how would 7950 CFX stand up against a standalone 7990? Hello, btw. The only reason I ask this is because the latest Battlefield 4 gameplay was shown at GDC using a vanilla 7990 that AMD have kept under the hood until now. Seeing as how tasty and buttery smooth that gameplay looked...

Hello, Today I managed to get my 3570K to 4.5GHz, ran a stress test using Intel XTU for 3 hours and it was stable and the absolute max temp I hit was 68 degrees. I was pretty happy to get this clock with these kind of temps, however: a) I had to set the voltage to 1.35v. From what I've...

Bought a H80i, installed it, temps were crap, bought some MX-4, applied the new TIM, temps are now better but still pretty crap for a cooler that cost amost £80 (inc. P&P). Overclocked to 4GHz, I get high temps of 64 degrees on Prime95 with the voltage set to 1.1v. I can't lower the voltage...

I know this is a really old game but with the game maxed out @ 1080 I'm averaging around 13 frames per second. Does anyone know why this is? I know this game is a monster to run but it's 7 years old! To put it in perspective, I get better frame rates in Crysis 3 at max settings. My system...

Just found this PSU for £150 and the temptation to get it is pretty high considering how well it's priced. My only concern is that the modular cables are not individually sleeved and so could be a pain to manipulate around the back of my case and they also look horrible. My questions are...

I am in the process of replacing some of the parts in my current system. They are not even 6 months old yet and are in perfect working order. I am considering using them as part of a new build for my sister and mum's use at home. I'd like to put together something that is very much a budget...

Just saw this on NZXT's website: http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/power_supplies/hale90_v2_1200w Pricing has already been confirmed for US retailers, however I was wondering if anyone knew if and when it'll be available in the UK. Apologies in advance if this has already been covered. Thanks.

I recently bought a H80i and finally got the thing in yesterday. The problems I'm having are as follows: a) the cooling performance is rubbish (on my unit). When playing Far Cry 3, I hit low 60s when the core clock as at stock. That's the same performance I got with the Intel reference...

My build was initially a budget build and the components I bought somewhat reflect that, however I have recently bought a H80i and a 7950 and have been contemplating upgrading the PSU and case as I would like to CrossfireX in the future. The PSU HAS to change because my PSU doesn't have enough...

Good evening everyone. I recently downloaded HW Monitor and was wondering if anyone could tell me if my temps are within an acceptable range. Everything is idling at the moment and I have scaled the GPU fan up to 45% manually. My i5 is currently not overclocked. All feedback is appreciated...

Hi, I have found two GPUs on a certain website that I am confused about. They are: MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 OC/V2 (includes the Never Settle bundle) £246 MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3 OC (includes the Never Settle bundle) £249 Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two please, if...

Hello everyone, my friend is contemplating stepping into the world of PC building and I wanted to share his hardware list that he has decided on getting. It is not final but I was wondering if I could get some extra feedback from others (a.k.a you guys). So, here it is: NZXT Phantom 410 i5...
