Hello everyone. Long-time lurker, occasional poster here. I recently bought a Cooler Master CK530v2 mechanical keyboard and have notices some quirks with the keyboard that I would like to get some views one. Straight out of the box the keyboard works fine. It is easy to type on and the keys...

What are Tiffys?

I don't know if this has anything to do with your problem but when I recently did a fresh install of W10 I loaded Google Drive and whilst the machine was syncing I had trouble using windows explorer. When I right-clicked anything in the left hand pane the context menu didn't appear properly. It...

I have a desktop Chromebook Smart Phone Lenovo tablet and a Kindle - does that count?

I've been having the same recurring dream for about 20+ years now and it always revolves around me needing to phone the emergency services for various reasons. It could either be a fight, a mugging or car crash but I need to get to a phone to call either the police or fire brigade or whatever...

Not scared of dying at all. No afterlife, just nothingness. Dying = lights out. I would like to go in a spectacular way though. With my back to a 3rd floor window I receive both barrels of a shotgun to the chest and I fly backwards out of the window and land on the roof of an expensive car and...

I've figured it out. Browsing the Asus download page I noticed a utility called bios updater for gen 4th intel. I installed this on the testbed machine and re-installed the bios update using the utility. Whilst there I also updated the chipset drivers to the latest. I don't know specifically...

Hi all, I have two machines, a testbed and my main pc. I am trying to install a G3258 CPU into my testbed but when I do it will not post. The CPU does work fine in my main machine, I am using it now as I write this message. The CPU out of my main machine (an i7 4770) works fine in the testbed...

I've used the same retail version of Win7 on several different machines - one at a time. When you have finished with your old machine enter the product key into the new one and follow the activation process. You will need to do a phone activation but if you have a smart phone you will be given...

Christmas is for kids. I'm happy spending money on the kids/nephews/nieces etc. but as a family we don't spend money on adults. When I was young I used to ask my Dad what he wanted for Christmas and he'd tell us not to spend our money on him and to buy ourselves something so that is what I tell...

Thanks for the reply. I've done a little bit of trial and error and have noticed that when I un-installed Corsair Link I was able to have the cooler plugged into the CPU_HEADER and leave the CPU_OPT empty. When I re-installed Corsair Link I had to have both headers connected. I have HWMonitor...

Hi all, I have an Asus ROG Maximus VII Ranger motherboard and a Corsair H80i GT cooler. Everything is working fine but I have a question about connecting to the fan headers. The instructions to the H80iGT say that I have to connect the pump power cable to the CPU_FAN header on the...

Wow - 1,000,000 points in two weeks! It's amazing what a difference a decent graphics card makes. PPD up to over 120,000 from less than 30,000.

Thanks for the response, Greybeard. That link was a great help. The alert for the cooler has now gone but the unknown device is still there. When I look at the properties for it it gives an installation date of 25/10/15 at 13:35. I can't for the life of me think what that device is. I've not...

Hi all, I've had a Corsair H80iGT CPU cooler installed for a few months and it seems to be working fine but I am getting warnings in device manager. In 'Other devices' I have two entries; One is H80iGT Cooler with a yellow exclamation mark next to it and the other is Unknown device with a...

Can someone explain to me what are the best settings for FAH in order to get the max output. I have an i7 4770, Radeon R7 360 iCooler 2048mb graphics card and 8bg of ram. At the moment all the settings are set to default so it is running on both CPU and GPU. Is this correct as I see from the...

Woo Hoo! I'm in the millionaires club! Do I get a gold card?

Horns Starring Daniel Radcliffe. Man accused of killing his girlfriend and then grows horns which cause people to only tell him the truth and what their deepest feelings are. Doesn't know whether to be a horror film, drama or a comedy. 6/10.
