Hi there guys, some of the online shops have 2 different 680's down to just £240. This seems like a bargain to me but I just wondered if its too good to be true. Its definitely there to be had and in stock but I was wondering if there were any know problems with these 680's hence being cheaper...

Hi guys, my 7850 is starting to come up a bit short when playing arma 3. Was thinking about getting the 760 but I think I want to spend a bit more and get the 770 or the 7970. What would you guys recommend. The 7970 seems to be ever so slightly cheaper and comes with some games. Just to let...

Hi there guys, another weird one from me. I have 6 fans in my case and only 3 connectors on my fan controller so I need some splitters. Would there be any advantage in getting better quality ones or shall I just get the cheapest ones off the internet? I have used cheap cables before for various...

HI there guys, looking at buying a soundcard to use with me Microlab 7c's. What would you guys recommend. Never bought one before in my life so dont know what to look for. Many thanks

Hi guys, I need to ask you wonderful people advice on some new headphones. Unfortunately my headset decided to die the other day and need a good replacement. I want to spend under £100 and as I use them every day I would like the best bang for my buck. I do a lot of gaming but am not convinced...

OK so I know its not a camera forum but I thought I'd ask as we have such a varied, knowledgeable community here. The last thing I asked about here ended up with me buying an AWESOME case for my S3 which I have been more the pleased with, see here. Im off skiing in a few weeks and was looking...

Hi guys, after smashing my screen on my S3 I think its about time I get a case for me phone. Im sure there are a lot of you guys on here with one so what do you recommend? I am a locksmith by trade so I am normally in some pretty cruddy areas when I have to use it. Many tanks

Hi guys, I posted while back that during a long session of BF3 that my computer screen was going black and I that I was no long receiving a picture from my graphics card. Now its started happening when I play and game. Its so so strange. The computer is still on but its as if the gfx card has...

Hi there, recently bf3 has been giving a few issues. Twice it has locked up on me. It happens after a heavy session maybe 2-3 hours. I've been monitoring my temps and it seems like my card is slowly reaching the 60'c Mark. Now although it hasnt hit it yet im wondering that when it does is my...

Hi there guys, are there any free temp monitoring programs that can log my CPU and GPU temps as I use my PC. I did have the OC3d gadget but I cant seem to find it. If someone has a link that would be good. Many thanks

Hi there guys, although its not STRICTLY computer related (more home cinema) I was wondering if anyone here can recommend or give me some advice on speaker cable. I recently picked up 4 speakers and was going to run them threw my amp. I normally just buy cable with my speakers in the shop but as...

Hello guys, thanks for all the amazing advice you've been giving me over the past few months. Its really helped me get through some issues I've been having. Anyway enough with the praise and on with another question/questions. I have recently bought a 830 SSD to run windows and a few games. Now...

Hi there guys, ok so the title is a little misleading so I will explain. A guy asked me today if I could make him a rig for £500. I said I probably could but when I got thinking my mind was scrambled with all the possibility's. So I put the challenge to you guys. I will need EVERYTHING apart...

Unfortunately my z68-ud4-b3 has died and needs to be replaced. Now I really dont know what to go for so feel free to tempt me with anything. I want to continue to use my 2500k so I was thinking of perhaps a z77 chipset. The Z77A-GD65 Z77 has caught my eye for its price and its performance...

Hi there guys, im looking for a new modular PSU. Dont want to spend over £150 and its got to be around the 750w zone. Due to recent experiences please don't recommend a Corsair PSU. As always, many thanks.
