So, i'm putting together a Ryzen 1600 based work build and wanting to double check RAM compatibility. The mobo will be an Asus PRIME B350M-A. I've currently selected Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 as the RAM, because its in the official AMD ram compatibility List, and in the compatibility list for...

So i've never done much case modding, but i'm looking to put together a new build in a few months and the only case i really like the look of at the moment is the Coolermaster Mastercase Maker 5T (i'm not nearly as fond of the regular Maker 5's). Unfortunately, its heavily detailed with red, and...

So, i'm moving house in a few months. At the new place we have an office at the front, and a house about 35m behind it. There is internet connected to the front building only, however we need internet in both (there will be multiple wired and wireless devices in both buildings). Soooo, my...

So i'm planning on upgrading my GPU when Vega 10 comes out (dependent on performance/reviews etc.) and have decided that when i do, i want to upgrade my monitor as well. Having used a friends freesync monitor, i can say that freesync is a must. BUT, i can't seem to find one that fits all of my...

Hi guys, so i've got an Asus 280x in my rig atm. Now, when i originally got it i used Asus GPU Tweak to fiddle with its settings and run a mild overclock, but at some point that started causing problems so i uninstalled it and have simply been using the Catalyst control center (AMD Overdrive) to...

So i'm thinking (quite seriously) about getting the Fury X when it comes out, assuming it performs well in the benchmarks/reviews of course. My question though is where i can mount the Radiator? In the user guide i saw it says "The radiator assembly must be mounted above the graphics card"...

Hey guys, i was hoping that i could pilfer some advice and wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so i put it here. i think my GPU may have a problem. i finished my build about 4 or 5 months ago now, and within the first month i noticed that sometimes after i finished gaming (and it was only...

Ok, so seeing as my build a couple of months back went well (should be able to get some pics up when my new phone arrives) a mate asked if i could help him with one. he's got a $1600 budget (in Australia) including software and i'm trying to get him the best gaming performance out of that i can...

UPDATE!! all of the parts (well, except for the PSU) are here so i should be building within a week. unfortunatly, i lost my phone recently so i wont be able to take photos of the build untill it is completed. i'll try to get some pics up as soon as possible!! Hello All! so, a few months ago i...

so, when i first saw the Kave 5.1 i was going to buy it, but soon realized that my lack of a 5.1 sound card would be a slight (major) issue. so, i passed it by. Then they announced the Kave XTD which came with its own 5.1 sound card and only required a Usb connection. the irony in this is that...

So i've been waiting for the release of the DirectCUII cooled 290x. However, i havent heard anything on it for the past fortnight. So, i thought i'd create a thread to see if anyone has any new information on the card, especially any news on the release date. As is stands, everything i've...

Firstly, im new to the forum so i'd just like to say hi. ok, so im preparing to build my first pc. the PC i have now was built for me a few years ago so it never felt very personalized. it was also built to a very limited budget so it's starting to fall behind. before i buy anything, i...
