    Z390 AORUS PRO - am I plugging the power cables in correctly?

    So I just got a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro and there are two slot (is that the right word) for the power cables - not counting the big wide one. One labeled ATX_12V_2X4 and the other labeled ATX_12V_2X2. Do I need to plug a power cable into both? I have a Corsair 850 Watt RM850x PSU and have...

    I have to ask... has anyone actually bought this case?

    While browsing the site for a new upgrade I saw this and I have questions: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/in-win-z-tower-aluminium-full-tower-case-silver-ca-08g-iw.html 1. Has anyone ever bought this? 2. How did it look? 3. Do you cut yourself every time you turn it on? 4. If you have that...

    That's an interesting price difference on a 1080...

    Overclockers has the GEFORCE GTX 1080 WINDFORCE listed at £589.99 but on a different site (not sure i am allowed to mention it) I can see it listed at £479.99. That's a hell of a price difference for the same card. I thought overclockers prices were usually the best, no?

    SATA Drives no longer recognised

    I got a Gigabyte Z170X motherboard today and everything is working apart from my two sata drives. The only one that is working is the SSD with Windows 10 and the other two were just files. They worked before the upgrade but now arent even recognised in the BIOS. Is there something I need to do...

    worth switching sides?

    dont know much about those cards but how do the evga or msi compare against each other? is one company better than the other with the cards? also thinking about cooler but curious if the upgrade to 980 would show a noticeable jump in all round performance.

    worth switching sides?

    I currently have a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 and have been looking at the GTX 980 Ti. my biggest complaint is that the 290 is one noisy sucker. is the jump to nvidia worth it and which of the 980 Ti is the best?

    Anything here worth upgrading?

    PSU is a TX750M and the cooler is just the standard one that came with the CPU. could there be issues with another 290 and overclocking the CPU? would the benefits be worth it?

    Anything here worth upgrading?

    overclocking the CPU is probably a good idea. never done that before so will check out the guide. would adding another 290 make a huge difference?

    Anything here worth upgrading?

    Yeah just trying to see if I can get a bit more 'oomph'. Monitor is currently an Asus PB278Q 27". Sorta feel that some games run a bit sluggish as well i.e. shadow of mordor, assassins creed unity are two examples (but assassins creed might just be a bad port). Also graphics card fan is quite...
