Thanks to AMD not continuing with drivers for their legacy graphics cards (ES1000), I am stuck with the Basic Display Driver within Windows Server 2012 which is doing my head in having to look at a bland & stretched image on the monitor attached to it!!! I need to find a PCI-e 8X SLOT capable...

Looking for LEGITIMATE (not a KMS cracked or similar) product keys that I do not have to worry about being deactivated or needing re-arming after every security update. These "keys" I can get from "other sources for free" but I do not want to go down that route & I prefer to pay for my software...

About a year ago my NAS box decided to throw a fit amnd not want to work any more. The 2 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA6Gbps 7200rpm 64MB cache drives are fine still as it was the actual NAS box itself that threw a fit. It was working one minute, then all of a sudden, it just kept losing one or...

I have been thinking about adding an Intel Optane module of either 16GB or 32GB into the new system, but I don't know if I will see much benefit from doing so. All but the storage drives are SATA6Gbs SSD or vNAND m.2 varients and are fairly rapid compared to the older system that only had...

I have noticed that the different software that I have which have the capability of monitoring temperatures etc all give vastly differing values to the point where I don't know which to believe!! The Asus AI Suite for the ROG Maximus X Hero shows the lowest temperature values for the CPU by...

Having an absolute nightmare here in the UK trying to find a triple panel monitor arm/mount to take my 3 x 28" UHD panels. All the ones I am coming across are for 27" or below & I have tried several models and even though it states they will take 27" panels, the paperwork states 24" is the...

I have been running a legit version of Adobe CS6 for a number of years and happy with how it performs & functions. Works fine on my old system of i7 4770K, 32GB DDR3 & GTX 970 but if I deactivate it on that machine & move it onto my new machine - i7 8700, 32GB DDR4 & RTX2070 - any of the...
