I was thinking more about its lifespan then power saving. I wouldn't want it to die just outside of the warranty. Is this silly or will it not make that much of a difference.

Hey Guys, Straight to the point, is it possible to disable and enable my GPU without powering off my PC? I know in "Device manager" you can disable it but what does this do, i.e will my GPU stop drawing power, will i need to install drivers again? Reason i am asking is because my new GPU will...

Ok thanks for the input, back to the GPU now though. Should I upgrade now or wait longer. What card should I go for? Should I go for some sort of SLI/ Crossfire? Should I get a R9 295 x2 with the idea to get a second. Appreciate the help

Hi everyone, About year or two ago now I built my self a custom media server box. I installed two 3tb harddrives at the time along with a SSD. I put the 3tb drives into a raid but I can't remember what type, they act as one drive. I'm looking to expand now as I am on my last 100gb. Is...

After looking on the two above manufactures website i don't think the revo is what I'm after.* I do like the look of the XS35GT though, reasonably priced aswell gives you the option to not have the OS to cut down on costs. One thing I forgot to mention is the capability to play 3D content...

Haha, the Holes are good I'll post another picture since iv tidied it up. That was taken last week when I first built up the system. All the cbles are behind the MB now and to the sides.
