It's generally a consensus that a i5-6600 can be used with any graphics card, but I've seen some information to the contrary, especially with newer game titles (the witcher 3 and star wars battlegrounds) where the i5 would actually top out at 100% and leave the graphics card dipping below 100%...

Hi! Using Windows 8 64bit here and I have a Asus 27" model display. But the letters have some weird (well, I think so) purple anti-aliasing. I will attach some exapmles. Any ideas what the problem could be? Please note that the monitor gets direct sunlight for about 40 mins or so each day (I...

I use a local account on my stationary computer, because I want to, but for some reason the Windows Store is almost empty. I've seen that people have a similar problem and it's connected with some microsoft account bug, which puts the account in a weird state where the Microsoft Store shows up...

Hi! You know how in Finder, in the Shared section on the sidebar you get all the local machines in your network? They have icons, representing their hardware (like a macbook would have a little macbook icon). PC's have a old yellowish BSOD CRT monitor. That's fine and I get the humor, but I'd...

Hi. So the other day I was playing Skyrim when suddently the screen went haywire and the system shut down (the specs are in my signature). After like 6 seconds it tried to start up again which is wierd because it seemed to be off, and nothing. The display is on standby and all fans spin at what...

Hello! I recently got the very fine Samsung Galaxy S II. What I know from wikipedia is that this seems to be the US version (shipped with 2.3.4) although it has many European languages in it. Anyway, I also learned that the latest version is 2.3.6 that should be available for the S II. But...

Has anyone had luck unlocking a HD-695X-CDFC card (e.g. make a HD6950 into a HD6970 pipelinewise - the overclocking can be done separately)? I know it's not reference, but it does have 2GB memory and I've seen that other XFX boards have been unlocked not being reference (the primary thought was...

I like the fonts that are all over the captions of controls and links in the Forum skin, but I don't like this dreadful times-new-romanish default font; yeah, I know that we have a wysiwyg editor and I can allways chage the font, but I think that the default fond should be something *less...

So first of all, hi! I have not posted on this forum for like ages it seems now. Much stuff has happened since then, but these are my home forums and now I have real need for the members help. I am planning on getting a new monitor and get rid of the rigid (it's more mentally outdated than...

Hey! I am getting this for my i5. Question is: how much of a difference would it make to buy a separate conductor paste and not use the one that comes with the cooler (in terms of temperature - how much of a bonus would I possibly get)?

Its making this weird humming noise, which alternates from silent to louder and so on (I think that you can imagine that it is almost impossible to work at a workstation with this noise nagging on the nerves all the friggin' time). It is not constant, it seems to change the iteration time when...

I have a square samsung syncmaster with a native res of 1280x1024, but I can't figure out why when I run Watchmen under this resolution it doesn't render in fullscreen - instead it has those black stripes like a widescreen movie. Of course, it's a ported game native to consoles, but anyway -...

is it the right one or some default vbulletin thing? I think that I recall some other HWF favicon.

Hi! I think I do know the answer already, but is there any difference between thermal pastes that one would apply on CPUs in comparison to GPUs? I mean - there shouldn't be, but considering the different environments (the GPU is usually the one that transfers the most heat into the PC case)...

Hi! As you can see in my sig, I have a XFX Radeon HD5770. I'd like to think about adding another HD5770, but I am not sure whether any other HD5770 will do or do I have to get the same XFX one? I am asking cause the case is kinda small and the available space in there is not what you'd...

OS: Snow Leopard Consider the following situation. I have a folder named CoolFolder. If I needed a folder with the same name, but wanted to keep the previous, I can rename it to, let's say CoolFolder.off; I then create a new folder called CoolFolder, do whatever I have to and delete that...

It's as if the usercp.php isn't even there (Opera 10.61).

I enjoy watching shows like Dual Survival, Man vs Wild, Survivorman. Todays DX11 gives quite some room for a possibility to create very vivid environments. How about this: I think that it would be both educational and interesting to have a RPG-like game with a vast explorable world (several...

Things that I've noticed, are gone w/ the new UI set up and all: 1. Country of Origin flag; 2. My Computer dropdown; 3. Thanks counter.

In a nutshell: *XFX HD5770 idling at 50C, FurMark 103C (within first minute, killed after that), fan won't go beyond 60%; WTF? The whole blabber...: Since I built my new system at the beginning of this year, I have not really checked the temperatures of the CPU and GPU, but since it has...
