    Dedicated graphics card alone or with integrated for multi monitor setup

    Hi all, Are there any benefits, either way, to running both monitors from a dedicated graphics card (I currently have a GTX 1070) vs running my primary gaming monitor from the card and my secondary from the integrated graphics chip in the motherboard? Many thanks

    Replacing fan on existing cooler

    May be slightly answering my own question here, but I've noticed that the Hyper 212 is PWM but I've also noticed that it runs up to 1600 RPM. The NF-S12B only runs to 1200 RPM, is that likely to be a problem?

    Replacing fan on existing cooler

    Hi all, I've been off the forums for a looooong time so if I'm posting in the wrong place etc please let me know. I've currently got a COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO CPU COOLER and the fan has got a good deal noisier recently. Having recently replaced a case fan with a Noctua NF-S12B REDUX...

    It's upgrade time, £900 budget, thoughts on this build?

    Tbh I didn't realise what the K meant until just now, but I agree, even when I say "At all", never say never and it's only a few £'s more. Probably will take this advice. Great advice there!

    It's upgrade time, £900 budget, thoughts on this build?

    So my gaming PC is now 3-5 years old and it's time for a substantial upgrade/new build. I'm a PC gamer, not looking to O/C this time and I'm looking to have this last me 3-5 years again. A GPU upgrade after 3 years would be probably be doable if required but I'd rather avoid that as long as...

    Hi all, A friend of mine has had to tighten his purse strings recently and one of the thing I know he let go was his Xbox Live Gold. I'm thinking of getting him a 12 month subscription for his birthday but I want to verify that he hasn't recently gone gold again. Does anyone know how I...

    Spec me an iPhone data usage app

    Like I said there are lots of apps that do overall usage. I'm looking for one to break I down per app.

    Spec me an iPhone data usage app

    And is that per app or over all? Per app is what I'm looking for to identify what's using so much data!

    Think my PSU is dead...?

    It's an unbranded/own brand from an OcUK competitor so won't say. It's a reduced size micro at one that came as part of my HTPC case which is awesome. Hey ho, it's covered under warranty still so will get it replaced like for like. If it goes again I'll upgrade it to something better.
