I am in the process of buying a laptop for a relative and as a gaming desktop guy i really am out of my comfort zone. All i have decided on so far is it must be a core i3 or above, 4gb of ram, have a 13" (ish) display, have a num pad and either needs to come with an ssd, or be cheap enough for...

So I bought a RX 460 and i use HDMI for my main monitor but I have a second old monitor I use for programs like speedfan and afterburner while I game. The second monitor only accepts VGA so I used a dvi-d to VGA adapter, however this hasn't worked (the monitor isnt being detected) and upon...

Essentially is there any advantage to using one or the other. That being said the dvi to VGA adapter seems to be cheaper. It's worth pointing out that the monitor will only be at 1024 resolution (I think I'll check once I get home) The reason for this is I run dual monitors and will be...

I am planning to buy the RX 460 when it comes out and since it doesnt have any external power connecters how do I know when it is drawing the Max of 75W when I overclock it?

So I'm dead certain on getting the new RX 460 when it (hopefully) comes out at the end of this month. My question is should I immediately buy the reference model or wait and see what custom models come out (maybe like an evga superclocked version or something) and how long should I expect to...

So I'm new to the whole computer building/customising scene and I've been checking out my desktop (researching the parts, over clocking etc) for the first time since I got the PC years ago. I realised all my fans were unbranded and generic Chinese ones. They all run straight from the PSU (the...

Alright so I'm new to this whole overclocking business and would appreciate some advice on the layout of SpeedFan. I ran a torture test with prime95 at stock (3.5Ghz) to see where the CPU was temperature wise. Now i assumed the core was the cpu temp but temp 3 is showing 70C (I attatched a...

I have always used a nvidia geforce gt 640 in my desktop since i got it, its always ran the games i needed it to without a problem. However i am planning to get Mirror's edge catalyst when it comes out and i fear that the 640 just wont be able to run it. With that in mind i'm thinking of buying...

So the titles pretty self explanatory but I'll give some background. For years now I have used a VGA connection from my desktop to monitor with external speakers running out the headphone port, however I recently acquired a TV/monitor and since I could use HDMI I'm wondering if there are any...
