    Cooling options for a Corsair 450D case

    God help me, I'm getting the itch for a system upgrade again. The machine currently sits in a Corsair Obsidian 450D case, which I like quite a bit and would like to keep. When it comes to CPU cooling I plan to go with one of two setups: a 280mm AIO cooler attached to the front with the fans set...

    Overclocking the i7-8700K while using the onboard graphics

    I'm looking to do a new build for my "utility" PC, which won't need any significant graphics horsepower as it's not a machine I ever sit in front of, I just access it through VNC. And I got curious about the i7-8700K. The onboard graphics are fine for what the machine's use will be, but from...

    Thinking about dropping back to a single-GPU system...

    I've been running Crossfire'd HD7950's for a while now, and it's mostly been good, though a couple of the games I play have had real problems running in Crossfire mode(thankfully for those games a single HD7950 still plays alright). On average, how does a single R9-290X or a 780 Ti compare to a...

    Weird problem that I *think* is bad RAM, but hard to tell so far, help?

    Lately I've been having some weird problems with one of my machines at home. The core specs are: Gigabyte Z68MX-UD2H-B3 intel Core i3-2100(not overclocked, using the on-die VGA) 16GB(4x4)GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600, not sure of exact model, pretty sure it's CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B I started...
