So like many others I am sure, I am contemplating pulling the trigger on graphics cards this Black Friday / Cyber Money, 2 of them in SLI. Thinking of picking up 2 GeForce 970's and calling it a day until Pascal +, where we should have a huge jump. I really wish 20nm was here, it would make...

For some reason my Corsair Force GT won't partition, I put it in an external enclosure, and it formatted fine, but for some reason in Windows 7 Installation I keep getting an error. This is a common problem on the internet but I don't see a real solution. DISKPART doesn't work. I tried IDE mode...

Evening Gentleman, I just build my Crosshair Formula IV system, everything seems to work except two things. My Areca Raid Controller doesn't seem to be initializing, goes directly to JMicron on the motherboard, and the JMicron has my Blu-Ray drive attached to it, in IDE mode, but it also...
