Very sad news. Can anyone suggest a new homepage for me? Toms doesn't have the same feel or calibre. At least the forums live on, for how long who knows.

Lol lucky, I would rather reset to get rid of all the intel substructure but its nice to know it works. It wasnt like that 10+ years ago!

Exactly my thoughts, I just wondered if others have done this and encountered any gotchas.

Im moving from an Intel to AMD platform and wondered if I can just unplug my m.2 drive from my current Intel box, plug it into my new AM4 motherboard, go straight into safe mode on boot and perform a full OS reset to return Win10 back to factory defaults allowing me to load new motherboard...

Only until the cache empties then you're down to ~40Mb/s sequential instead of 120+ of a CMR version. The ag being kicked up about this is real, to me its basically bait and switch, people buying what they thought was a replacement is going to get a lemon, and if you are buying it as a drop in...

anyone pls?

Im upgrading my base PC components for the first time in some years (Win7 to 10) and I seem to have lost the installers for a few useful apps. I want something that takes an image of an installed program so I can port it over to my new Win10 machine, I'm sure I have something in my HDD that...

Great video, ty! I should definitely get one, so its just a case of which one, and the QD issue.

Im putting together a Z270 build, In my current machine I have already a 512 2.5" 850 EVO but was thinking of putting a small M2 in the new build as a boot/programs drive (with my existing evo as fast storage). My primary focus is fast booting/program loads, write performance isnt that...

Im upgrading now but I know why I need it. I play a combined arms MMOFPS which is CPU bound and while Ive had my 3570 on 4.2ghz for most of its life, the IPC and power improvements between Ivy Bridge 4.2 and Kaby Kake 4.5 is worth as much as an extra 5fps in the 30-40 fps area in a frame...

I have several screenshots of different levels of a menu system and want to create a simulation so a user can click through the screenshots as if they are in the app itself. I understand it requires designating button areas to link to other shots, and I understand it wont actually do...

We did it!! Planetside 2 is now the record holder yay!! New record set at 1158 players! Thanks to all who came to watch, I hope you enjoyed the fight. (no is definitely 400x3, the most we ever had was 2000 but it just couldnt cope, now its 1200)

Planetside 2 servers currently host up to 1200 per continent (400 per faction, x3 factions, x4 continents) as standard, it used to be more but it was reduced to 1200 for performance reasons. There is a queue for full continents and that happens quite frequently during prime time alerts, in...

Its happening, the world record for 'Most Players Online in a single FPS battle' currently stands at 999 players, set in 2012 by a sandbox game called Man vs Machine (which really wasnt a game anyone would play, more like a tech test for the purpose of setting the record). Day to day...

On the face of it thats a good idea, thanks for the input however wont that method require me to constantly sync my whole music library to my android (while updating the 4-5 * playlists)? my phone is already maxed for sd card with a 32Gb in there. Thats mainly why im trying to work out how to...
