    Component Compatability

    Is **Not Allowed** a web site? I've been holding onto a Fractal Design Define R6 case for a long time, so I'm going to use that.

    Component Compatability

    Hello Will these components work well together? Would there be any obvious bottlenecks? Yes, I would prefer a RTX3090, but I'm sure the the RTX3080ti will provide the frames. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard=...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 with 27" 1440 Monitor

    Hello Would an NIVIDIA Geforce GTX1080 be able to drive a 27" 1440 Monitor? Thank you. Ian.

    New Computer Component Check

    Hello Thank you for the feedback. To be honest the computer I want to build will not be doing anything out of the ordinary. Gaming, video capture, media editing, encoding/conversion, DVD & Blu-ray ripping as prep for NAS storage (wanna build a Plex server), database development, data...

    New Computer Component Check

    Thank you hominid That looks like a nice case. With the radiator in the top and a fan in the rear expelling the hot air, and fans in the front pulling in cool air. I guess I could even orientate the PSU so the fan is at the bottom of the case as there appears to be sufficient clearance...

    New Computer Component Check

    Hello I would like to build a new computer and would like to confirm that the components I've selected below will work well together. I do not plan to overclock. I did consider a custom cooling loop for the CPU but I'm really not confident enough for that so I'm hoping the AIO will be...

    Graphics Card Upgrade From GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080?

    Really? This sounds disappointing.

    Graphics Card Upgrade From GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080?

    Now you tell me ;) I normally game at 1080, I have dual BenQ 24" 1080 144hz. Perhaps 4K could now be on the cards now? In fact....."No!" must...resist...spending...more...money. I swear the wife's going to have a seizure as it is.

    Graphics Card Upgrade From GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080?

    I would like to thank everybody for their comments and advice. I've decided to upgrade to a GTX 1080. I thought I would go for the Asus unit below. I would have ordered an EVGA card, which is the same make as my current card, but I understand there's a little problem with the EVGA cards at...

    Graphics Card Upgrade From GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080?

    That sounds promising, thanks. Not at the moment as I had to go back to the stock heatsink and fan. Once I get my new AIO cooler it will be OC'd again. Thank you.

    Graphics Card Upgrade From GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080?

    Hello I've been considering upgrading my graphics card from a GeForce GTX 780 to GTX 1080, but I'm concerned that I wouldn't see much benefit. I'm using an ageing Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard with a Intel i7 980X. This motherboard obviously has an older PCIE slot so I assume I...

    Corsair H100i Installation

    There is such thing as USB header splitter? Nice. Couldn't find them on Overclockers though, only place I could see them was in the US. Still considering a different cooler. Keeping my options open at the moment.

    Corsair H100i Installation

    Indeed, that's what I thought the USB was for, so that the fan speeds can be controlled? I was reading the instructions for the Corsair on their web site seem to indicate that the pump should be connected to the CPU 4 pin fan header and the fans to a 3 pin fan header. Wow!! An internal...

    Corsair H100i Installation

    Do you have any recommendations? I did, briefly, consider the EK Preditor but it doesn't support my motherboard.

    Spec Up, £3,000 Budget

    Just curious; what's wrong with Skylake? :confused:

    Corsair H100i Installation

    Hello I want to replace my old CPU heatsink and fan with something less noisy and which would allow me to overclock my CPU. I thought I would get a Corsair H100i but I have some concerns. I have an Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard which only has one USB header that is currently...

    Is It Worth Upgrading?

    I really thought my components would be very outdated and slow compared to the more recent hardware. If that's not the case then a new, larger, SSD it is. I may even invest in a better, quieter, CPU cooler. Mine sounds like an aircraft taking off :) I'll then upgrade to Win 10. Am I...

    Is It Worth Upgrading?

    I've been wondering with the release of Windows 10 and the fact that my current PC is now 5 years old, if it's time to think about upgrading. The Windows 10 upgrade tool seems to be happy with the hardware and software I have although there doesn't appear to be any new win 10 drivers...
