Quick question how do I test the read/write speed of my SSD? I have a OCZ vertex 3, which should be 550/500 MB/s. Also is there any way, without taking the cover off, I can find out if its going through the sata III not the sata II.

I perviously had a problem with my OC system that kept on blue screening, but i contacted PCS and got that resolved (Had to decrease the OC). However I have recently had 2 blue screens, each on seperate days. Both times I was playing WoW and when i turned the PC back on it told me to reboot and...

Hey guys, so I was thinking of buying a gaming mouse finally and I have narrowed down my choices to five. I have never owned a gaming mouse before despite playing PC games for around 6 years. So basically what I was looking for in a mouse is the one with the best and most accurate sensor, also...

Hey guys, it's been a while. So I finally got the money together to buy my computer and it looks a bit like this. Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™i7-2600k Quad Core (3.40GHz @ max 4.80GHz) Motherboard ASUS® P8Z68-V PRO: USB 3.0, SATA 6GB/s...

I am going to buy an overclocked i7-2600k very soon and I would just like to know does the PC come with profiles at different speeds? If so could you tell me what the different profile speeds are and on each speed tell me how long I can run that for (How many hours?). Josh.

After months of browsing different forums and posting on many, also checking out loads of benchmarks, I think I have finally got an end spec. If you guys could take a look and just make sure everything is in order it would be much appreciated. It will be for gaming mostly but also in time a lot...

What timings are on the 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)? [CL7,8,9 or whatever]

I have an i7 2600k and want to OC it to around 4-4.5GHZ and keep it stable. The PSU i was thinking of getting was the CORSAIR 1000W PRO SERIES, but it says in the spec that I only need a max power of 782W, should I drop the HX1000 and get a CORSAIR 850W TX SERIES instead? If i do change i can...

I was talking to a friend today about my build, when i mentioned i would be overclocking the CPU. He told me to ask you guys on here what heat sink comes with the CPU, or is it just stock? I'm not sure exactly what a heat sink is for the CPU, so any help on the matter will be much appreciated...

What would be the better motherboard for overclocking, the P67 PRO or the Sabertooth? I'm not too bothered which has more features just if they perform the same in tests... Regards Josh

Hi just a simple question, what model is the GTX 570 or is it just regular?

So i am about to buy a pretty nifty pc from here and it looks like this: Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™i7-2600k Quad Core (3.40GHz @ max 4.80GHz) Motherboard ASUS® P8P67 PRO (NEW REV 3.0): USB 3.0/SATA 6Gb/s, CrossFireX™ & SLI Memory (RAM)...

So what do you guys think are the best cases for an overclocked rig that needs excellent ventillation?

Cheers for everyone's help on the forum for helping me to get a final spec, it goes a little like this: Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™i7-2600k Quad Core (3.40GHz @ max 4.80GHz) Motherboard ASUS® P8P67 PRO (NEW REV 3.0): USB 3.0/SATA...

I am currently stuck on whether to get a 16GB HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHZ or a 8GB HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 2133MHZ. I am not exactly sure what the difference between the MHZ means, all i would want to know is which would be the quickest and most powerful for playing games? Also i am...
