Bit of a strange problem here. I installed another 8gb of ram yesterday, slotted right in no problems. But as soon as I turned my PC back on only the 2 monitors connected to my iGPU powered on and not the one connected to my main gpu. Went through a load of blue screens, cleared cmos, set...

Hi guys :) I've currently got a 7870 hawk in my system running off an antec 650w psu (which has been solid since I got it). A friend of mine is upgrading his pc and is giving me his 6850 in return for me putting it together/ fixing a few things. Is there any point in putting it in my current...

Hi guys :) I'm currently at college and have got myself a verified dream spark account through them. I can download software such as windows server 2012 r2 for free and was wondering if I could use it as a normal desktop os (like 8.1). I know it isn't designed for this but I mostly just want...

Hi guys. I'm putting together a build for a family friend for her son. It needs to be as cheap as possible but I don't want it to be a pile of c***. I'm pretty certain on it being an amd build. I'm not sure whether to go with an a8 6600k or an fx 6300. He want to do some gaming on it so I...

Hi guys :) I've got a rather annoying problem here. I have 2 monitors. 1 is a 1080p aoc monitor connected to my 7870 hawk by dvi/vga converter, this one works perfectly fine. My other monitor is an old dell ultrasharp I picked up from a charity shop as it was only 20 quid and it's been fine...

Hi guys :) My corsair 1300's have just broken (right earcup not working). No warranty on them anyway so me and my dad took them apart to see whats wrong inside the inline controls and we couldn't find anything. he's going to try and solder the cables back together but I doubt it'll work. I've...

Hi guys :). I recently started folding again as I saw that f@h now makes better use of AMD cards on a few websites. I downloaded the latest version off the website but im still getting pretty low PPD ( between 6k and 7k :/. I'm running a 2500k @ 4.4ghz and a 7870 hawk edition. Is this still the...

Hi guys :) I'm planning on moving my desk around etc soon and i'm looking for a windowed side panel for my case. I can find windowed side panels for the normal black version but not for my black and white version. Does anyone know where I could find one of these. I found this on google but no...

Hi guys :) i just got my little brother a z77a gd65 for his pc (upgrading from some acer mobo and an i3 550) and i'm unsure what to do with the windows licences. I wouldn't mind having the z77 board for my 2500k and him have my z68 board to go with the i3 2100. In that case what would i have to...

Hi guys :) had my d14 for a fair while now and i'm considering removing the 140mm fan in the middle. It's oddly loud compared to the rest of my case. the 120mm is fine just the 140mm. Ive been through 2 cases with it and ive changed all the fans to corsair af120 and a spectre pro. What kind of...

Hi guys :) I've just been reading all about the ps4 announcement etc etc and one thing caught my eye. Seeing as its now using an x86 CPU could this mean better console to pc ports in the future? :D
