    New Map Algorithm Finds The Most Beautiful Route

    I like the idea of the 'quiet' route, especially for London where there are lots of smaller roads. I think the 'beautiful' route would be more useful in the countryside/long road trips though (mainly to help keep you off ugly highways.

    Is my PSU too old for my new build?

    Ok, I've gone for the Be Quiet Dark Power pro! What had initially been intended to be a partial upgrade of just my motherboard and cpu has quickly escalated into building a whole new system hehe...

    Is my PSU too old for my new build?

    Hmm I think you guys have convinced me... I'm really stretching my budget now hehe, at least a lot of the top PSUs seem to come with 7 year warranties now! Any opinion between these three? Corsair AX860i Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 (850w or 1000w, although the 1kw is gold not platinum) Antec...

    Is my PSU too old for my new build?

    Well I'd say for most of its life it has only had a single gpu, and the cpu was usually not overclocked. But it's usually on for between 5-15 hours for 4-5 days per week, quite a few hours of that spent gaming. I just cleaned a decent amount of dust clumped up inside it, that probably hasn't...

    Is my PSU too old for my new build?

    Hello, In the next few days I'm going to set up a new rig with a Maximus VII Ranger Z97 board and an i5 4670k... The rest of the rig will be the same as in my sig. Would you advise that I carry on using my current PSU, a Cooler Master Real Power M1000? (Here's the Cooler Master website...

    Looking for a motherboard

    Perhaps look at the new Z97 based boards? They've been getting good reviews. I just bought an Asus Maximus VII Ranger, but it's only available in Europe at the moment I think.

    Asus SenseAmp + custom amp... ?

    Hey all, my new Z97 motherboard arrived, the Asus Maximus VII Ranger. I'm planning on just using the onboard audio I think, but I have a question: I currently use K702 headphones with a custom built amp built by someone recommended through HardForum, I think it's a Pimeta 2. However, it...

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    Luckily the 4gb one isn't mine, I borrowed it from a friend to see the performance gains for myself. I might get a second one anyway though, since I want to get the most out of my 120hz monitor!

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    Oops... Unfortunately I need to retract my statement. SLi was enabled but I wasn't able to play any games and I'd get frequent error messages and crashes. I guess multi-gpu with different vram graphics cards isn't supported after all...

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    Well I gave the coolbits tweak a try it a try and SLi is now shown as being enabled in the nvidia control panel! Thanks PiERiT! Now I'm going to check whether it has translated into better game performance...

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    Will this definitely work without messing up my machine? I've been googling coolbits and it seems like it used to work but it's no longer possible to do it with newer nvidia drivers...

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    Not sure why it's showing as being plugged into the second card, it's plugged into the top one (first slot). When I plug the monitor into the other card I get my desktop background without any icons or taskbar (as if it thinks it's a second monitor). They are in the correct PCI-e slots and show...

    2x GTX 670s - Detected but no SLi

    The rig is the one in my sig. They are both GTX 670s but they aren't identical, one has 2gb of vram and the other has 4gb. However, I was under the impression this didn't matter. It everwhere seems to recognise that there are two graphics cards installed but for some reason the SLi options...

    How to connect PC to amp?

    Will doing it that way cause any degradation of sound quality?
