    Been There, Done That: HP New Firmware Update Locks Non-Original Ink Cartridges

    I had a HP inkjet printer, only used it a couple of times and the cartridges blocked after not using it for a few weeks, so I ran the cartridge cleaning process and it didn't completely clear the issue, so I ran it a couple more times and still no joy, then realised that each cleaning process...

    GIGABYTE Unveils the GeForce GTX 1070 ITX Graphics Card

    I agree that anything above 15 Liters is wasting space for an ITX case! I disagree with your statement of not being able to use a 100w+ card in a true ITX case, if the case has been designed with proper GPU intake and ventilation then you can go much higher than 100w without throttling. I am...

    NVIDIA Readies GeForce GTX 950 SE Graphics Card

    Exactly, especially if they put it into a low profile dual slot card. The fastest card available in low profile format at the moment is the GTX 750Ti which is limited to HDMI 1.4, so a toned down GTX 950 with HDMI 2.0 and HEVC would help move small HTPC's forward. In order to get HDMI 2.0 at...

    New Budget Gaming PC - 1920x1080

    The G3258k does not work properly with Windows 10, something to do with broken micro code, I've not seen an official fix yet: https://communities.intel.com/thread/77391?start=15&tstart=0

    New Budget Gaming PC - 1920x1080

    The GTX 960 is a good choice for 1080p gaming. But I would have a look into the latest about the G3258K and installation under Windows 10. When I tried 6 months they were not compatible and you have to disable a core to allow Windows 10 to install/boot. A 600W PSU is overkill for the...

    R9 Nano vs GTX 980

    The nano is an ITX card, it isn't competing with longer dual fan cards, so its closest competition is a GTX 970 which is also available in ITX models. The disadvantage of ITX cards is their cooling ability. So if your case can fit longer card then go for one that has dual or triple fans as...

    gtx 960 4gb vs gtx 970 4gb

    As a new member of this forum the first thing I have noticed is how much bickering there is in these posts! Back onto topic - I recently bought a GTX 950 in combination with an i3-6100, I've been using it to game at 1080p on my HDTV and to be honest I am blown away with the graphics quality of...

    AMD "Zen" Processors to Feature SMT, Support up to 8 DDR4 Memory Channels

    AMD can’t compete with Intel when it comes to CPU reliant tasks, but on average AMD Kaveri APU’s outperform Intel’s latest Skylake processors when it comes to gaming (without dedicated graphics). Admittedly performance isn’t ground-breaking, but from my own personal tests the A10-7800 can...
