Title should be horrifically.. damn auto correct. Hey guys. So I turned my PC on today as usual, logged in to find it logged into the metro start screen... not the desktop like I set it to as soon as I installed windows 8.1 for the first time. So naturally, I went to the desktop. Only to find...

Hey there guys. I am planning on drilling out the rivets that hold the optical bays in place on my R4 in the next couple of days and replace them with screws so I can remove the bays at my leisure. My plan being to take them out mostly, however if I ever plan on using something that actually...

Hey there guys, got my Tri-X 290 through today and (obviously) started to overclock it. I got to 1100/1500 easily, all fine. Then, I set the core to 1150, artifacts as soon as I start the benchmark. So I stop and turn the volts to +20. Then start valley again, yah no artifacts... but my card is...

Hey there guys. I currently own an ASUS DCUII 770. Even though this card still has a backplate, it still sags a fair amount. Now, I am sending this card back as the VRM temps are insane. The card I am considering buying is the Sapphire Tri-X 290. Now, this card is longer, heavier and does not...

Hey there guys. I want to have positive pressure in my case whilst still maintaining good airflow and if possible, low sound. I currently have 3 fractal R2 silent fans as exhausts, and 2 Xigmatek CF 140 intakes. As you can imagine, this means I have negative pressure and thus I get dust build...

Hey guys, I am running a 4670k and 2 280Xs, working it out to be around 616W TDP. Would it be possible to fit enough rads in my case (R4) to cool it sufficiently? I think the best I can get in here is a 60MM 280 in the front, a 30MM 280 in the top and a 30MM 140 on the back (All physical...

Just a quick question. I have an MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming, is getting a sound card really worth it if I am only using a pair of Razer Kraken Pros and for my speakers an £80 5.1 kit? What I mean is, am I going to notice a large difference compared to using the on-board audio (which apparently...

Hey guys, whilst I myself have not done this, I have seen an article on videocardz as well as a post from a guy on LinusTechTips forum confirm that this is in fact possible to flash an R9 290X BIOS onto an R9 290 and thus unlock the extra modules etc that an R9 290X has over an R9 290! This...

Hey guys, I have always been interested in water cooling and now I have the funds to pull it off (or so I believe). I currently have a Fractal Design R4, I know it is not full tower however I imagine that's not really the end of the world... right? I don't really want to change it since I love...

Hi there, does anyone know why never settle vouchers don't come with R7/9 cards? makes literally no sense. I just bought an R9-280x over a 7970 just to realise I could have paid a tiny bit more for a 7970 (yes the MSI R9-280X is currently on offer at aria for only £229) with the same cooler and...
