1000L of LN2, some of the UKs best benchers and a weekend of fun. The first official UK bench meet in over 2 years is happening in Sheffield on the weekend of the 26th of February. This is a simple BYOC bench meet held at the portal in Sheffield, a well established LAN venue. This means that we...

http://valid.canardpc.com/d1s8ai CPU was also very good at keeping stable around the 7.4-7.5GHz mark. Will want to give this CPU another go on LN2 with a different BIOS and CPU pot since I should be able to get around a 7.8GHz Super Pi 32M stable result with it too. Here's some more...

I don't want to be posting any links to competetors sites for obvious reasons, but if you have a quick google around you will see that two of Hynix's fab plants have set on fire, causing the manufacturer of 30% of the worlds RAM to lose half of it's production lines in a matter of minutes...

I'm sure this has been asked a million times before, but I was after a new monitor recently and I noticed that there weren't any 24" 1440p monitors in the market at all, none that I noticed anyway. Personally I don't want a massive 27" monitor in my face and quite frankly I don't have the room...

http://www.play3r.net/news/ddr3-pushed-beyond-the-4ghz-barrier/ This is amazing, first time we've ever seen ram go beyond 4GHz. It's no doubt going to be Haswell but you never know, AMD might have another ram king on its way.

Not quite youtube but close enough :P Just trying to help out my brother with his livestream channel. He's just starting to get into the whole youtube and livestreaming thing and I though I'd give him a helping hand. Any views or any comments appreciated. Also a mod can move it if it should be...

I kinda like the idea of the Team Cup, and i'm sure quite a lot of you will agree with me, it's a good alternative to the monthly challenges. They seem to be using cheep tech too, old stuff and new, so everybody can get involved, even me I think this will help increase the number of points in...

Ok guys i have a problem with my motherboard but i'm not exactly sure what it is. The motherboard works fine if i short out the power supply, but otherwise it gets no power at all. Not sure exactly how to explain the problem so i made a video demonstating what i mean. Please watch and leave a...

What do you guys think the performance of the piledriver cpu's will be like, after seeing some trinity reviews, I'm pretty confident AMD have fixed bulldozer andactually brought out a cpu design that makes more sense now, its what bulldozer should have been in the first place. Should be able to...

Ok so i've just noticed a problem with my Crosshair IV motherboard. Basically my motherboard is over-volting my NB to stupidly high levels, up to 1.8v and sometimes even more :L This is the motherboard NB i am referring to and not the CPU-NB. This problem happens no matter what voltage setting i...

Hey guys i don't know if this has been asked before, but i have got a few socket 479 Mobile CPU's from old laptops here and i was wandering if it would be possible to bench them in my IC7-G. I know they are electrically incompatible but are there any pin mods to make them compatible or not...

Ok so i've just bought a mobo off ebay, and it has damage on the 8Pin connector, i will post pictures later this evening but basically the pins are fine but the plastic around it is destroyed. Would it be possible to replace the 8Pin socket or will be forced to get another mobo. It's a Crosshair...
