Just a quick question really, just put a little media center system together and thought i'd try seeing what it's capable of. So far i have got it to 5004.2Mhz on stock cooling through MSI Commander and just wondering how i can raise the bar to get 3rd place on HWBOT for the 6600k here. System...

Just a quick post to find out if anyone knows of, or if there are any plans to introduce a touch screen for windows 8 that doubles as a graphics tablet?

Hi all, i am starting a new build shortly, and would like to ask if anyone has ever commisioned there own design to a case, and if so how much roughly it costs for laser cutting etc. This would include chassis aswell. All input greatfully appreciated.

Anyone else had problems with there 200mm exhaust in roof making strage clicking noises,and a noticeable wobble? Also anyone else has any trouble with brittle fins on the 120mm's?

Just purchased one of these from aria, and i have to say for a cheap monitor you get a lot for your money. It has built in sound,and full HD also which i was very surprised at given the price.The picture quality is amazing,after upgading from an old packard bell 1024x768 res monitor. Comes...

Hi all,just been playing around in the bios last coupled days and trying to get best stable oc,on my phenom2 x6 1055t. I managed a 3.5 ghz on wednesday,which is the most i've been able to squeeze out of the cpu on this board i have at present,however today i did a bit more tinkering and managed...

Been doing some reading on "windows 8",and came across this article which basically shows that the upcoming release of windows will infact have a black screen of death,rather than it's predecessors blue screen! Black Screen of Death It seems kinda odd,but yet a little more attractive than the...

What should the average cpu temp be on liquid cooling compared to that of air cooling? Installed first water system yesterday,and cpu temp is averaging 15-19 idle,and 22-25 on load,is that about right,or should i be putting more into the loop? On air my idle was around 31,and about 42 on load.

Hi guys just a quick post. Curious to know what the colours mean,on the folding display,have googled,but not being a quantum physisist or whatever you may call them,i find it a bit hard to compute. Why is that one green whilst others are blue/red/grey?

Ok guys thought i'd share my build log with you as a i put bits in. Still waiting on rad and pump to arrive at the moment,but made a start with the res and cable braiding. That's the reservoir mounted,and now onto the cable braiding. I have chosen a nice deep blue to go with the theme,the...

Hi guys,ive just fitted my reservoir into case,on my watercooling setup,and it leaves me 10" to play with at most for gpu. Can anyone suggest a decent card in the £200 region that will fit? Must have a good FPS rate,as i will be using as my gaming rig,and for folding also.

Was looking at getting this reservoir: XSPC But i'm unsure it will fit into the phantom case. Has anyone got the same in there phantom case or should i opt for the 250mm Blue over the black 500mm? If getting the blue,would this decrease performance in any way?

I was quite surprised to see this video,as arock are usually quite reserved in there motherboard designs,and have been pretty quiet on the performance board market of late. From what i've seen the board doesn't look to bad,does anyone have one,and what are the specs like?

Been doing some trawling of tinternet,last week or so trying to find a keyboard to match the colour scheme of the white phantom. So far all i've come up with is this: white Optimus keyboard What i'd like to know,is firstly if anyone has one?,and secondly how they perform in gaming? And also...
