    Time to upgrade, which Z87 mobo to get?

    I'm finally going to move on from my X58 build after 5 years, Intel are really dragging their feet with IB-E and Haswell-E so I'm just going to go for the i7 4770K. Looking at the selection of mobos, which one would you recommend (feel free to suggest others): ASRock Z87 EXTREME4 Asus...

    Crossfire doesn't work with Tomb Raider?

    Just got the game, but noticed CF isn't working. I'm running Catalyst version 13.1, should I be running 13.2 b7 and are there any known bugs in b7 I should be worried about? It's not running too bad off just one 7970 actually, I'm getting a playable 35fps @6002x1080 with no TressFX or AA and...

    Antec Spot Cool alternative without the LEDs?

    My 7970's in CF get really hot when gaming (the top one gets to around 90C), mainly because there's no space between them - there's only one slot in between the PCI-E slots. I think forcing some air between them might help, and the Antec Spot Cool looks like a neat solution but the blue LEDs...

    How to enable AMD ZeroCore?

    I bought another 7970 to go in Crossfire, they're up and running fine. But I'm wondering how this ZeroCore technology works? From what I understand it switches off the second GPU in CF completely to save power and lower temps. However the fans on both cards are still spinning when I'm on the...

    Get another 7970 or go with 7950 CF instead?

    AMD have cut prices on their GPUs and this has given me the upgrade itch... Unfortunately the price cuts were only for 7950 and below and not the 7970 :( I currently have a stock 7970, I can pick up another for £300 or sell it and get 2x MSI TF3 7950's for £240 each. Not too bothered about...

    So I'm thinking of an AMD build... good idea?

    I'm building a PC for my parents (I'm in the UK), their old Dell died and badly needed an upgrade anyway ;) 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc General PC use: web surfing, watching videos, MS Office, etc. No gaming or video encoding or anything like...

    Moved from iOS to Android, app suggestions?

    So I've recently got a Samsung GS3 after owning iPhones for several years, been getting grips to it and loving it so far. While the iPhone was very locked down by default, I installed loads of Cydia apps which let me customize pretty much whatever I wanted, so I'm wondering what the best Android...

    Is this a CPU bottleneck in Eyefinity?

    Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster here. I've just upgraded to an Eyefinity setup and seems like here is the place to be for multi-monitor discussions! Just wanted to get some thoughts on whether my i7 920 running at 3.8Ghz will be bottlenecking an overclocked 7970 at 5760x1080...
