So in my rig I had a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO. Last week I bought a 980 Pro. I had always believed that M.2 drives were superior to SATA drives so this felt like a logical upgrade. Had the M.2 drive in my rig for a week now, and there is literally no difference whatsoever in boot times in Windows...

Lads, Early part of this year, the missis booked us up one of the Sun holidays on the Isle of Wight. Never been before, and we're going in early October. Anything there worth seeing ? Anything worth doing ? Stopping in Shanklin, if that's of any use to anyone. Thanks

Just wondered if I was the only person that did this. Probably lol... Does the weather / time of year influence which games you play? As good as Evil Within was after patches, I find it a lot more atmospheric if I go on it when the nights are dark and the weather is a bit colder outside...

I went to I51 earlier on in the year, but couldn't get any of my mates to come to I52 because of how much Minecraft was being promoted. I was just wondering how it went, and what was the general feeling.

I would like another pair of eyes to look at this, if possible. My current set up is as follows. Case: Hax-X CPU- 2500K cooled by H100 in roof. GPU - 690 cooled by XSPC waterblock, with hose going outside of case to an RX 360 then back inside to a XSPC d5 dual bay res. One optical DVD writer...

So I was originally planning to go for the Enthoo Primo, but after watching TTL's review of the 750D I'm swinging more towards a Corsair case now because of the huuuuuge price difference and the fact you can put a thick rad in the roof. My question is.... I wanted to run an RX240 in the roof...

Lads, I need to fetch the data from a Galaxy Note, and restore it onto a Galaxy Note 3. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but the screen is borked on the Note, and on top of it, there is a lock on it so I can't just connect it up to my rig because no files are visible. Anyone got any...

I bought a 13 plate focus zetec the weekend which seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to fuel usage. It's the 1 litre turbo model, econetic engine. If someone can explain how the Ford econetic engines calculate how much juice you've got left in laymans terms then they are a magician...

Been updating some of the software on my rig tonight and when I had a play around with afterburner beta 16, I noticed that there was a voltage slider that wasn't there before. Current card is a 690 under water, which up until now, I understood over volting wasn't possible because of that...

It's getting towards the 12 month mark for the length of time I'd had the gpu loop running in my rig. Should I be bleeding the whole thing and a replacing the coolant, or is it ok? Not had any performance issues / increases in temp since I put it in, and wondering if I really need to do anything.

Last night something happened to my 690 that worried me a lot. I had been out and came back to have a blast on Batman AO. When I booted up the rig, it posted, but then the screen went black before windows loaded. Upon a reboot I had half a screen of red vertical lines, and on a 2nd reboot I...

Is anyone else getting notifications from Chrome that the forums are dodgy?

So this is the loop I was on about building mid last week. The build went well in general. There were a couple of bollocks dropped, but it was my first ever loop and cosmetically, a lot of people have said it's pretty good for a first time effort. I did manage to spill coolant in the PSU, which...

I'm about 3/4 of the way done now. Still got to put braided cable in and LED lighting for the block / res. Yes, I know tubing isn't very tidy by TTL standards but for me, as long as it doesn't leak, I'm ok with it for my first ever loop. Been leak testing the past 6 hours with no PSU in the...

Will be building this week all being well, assuming the parts come in time. Does it look ok? It's a HAF-X, 2 3GB 580's, and a 2500K. Main reason for going over to water is coolers on the 3GB Phantom cards are utterly pants. One thing I think I might need is an elbow fitting that goes from the...
