    Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

    So DDR3L is 1.35v only or 1.35 and lower? I have 16gb of G Skill Sniper 1.25 that I wouldn't mind transferring over to new system.

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    Yeah it doesn't make sense. This is a technology forum where people are swapping out parts and overclocking CPU's and GPU's for sometimes marginal improvements. Asus bring a genuinely interesting product to market and some people are just yapping like dogs, barking for the sake of barking. We...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    I've just stuck an order in for one at £593 (£40 off and 2% cashback at dabs) There's no stock at the moment so will have to wait it out for a bit. I hope G Sync is all its cracked up to be as I don't think my 2GB 670 SLI will be enough for 144hz gaming but it should be enough for CS:GO...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    I could never go back to IPS if it's just 60-85hz. It looks so juddery now. I ditched my U2410 for an Asus 144hz and even though I hate almost everything about this monitor - terrible bad light bleed, poor viewing angles, washed out colours, bad connectors at the back etc, the smoothness of a...

    Looking for a new mouse. What would you recommend?

    I just bought the FK after you recommended it here. Checked out some reviews too and decided it was worth a shot. It's replacing an Zowie EC2 and so far I love it. It fits my hand beautifully and might finally be the perfect fingertip mouse. Thanks

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    I had 2 crashes in the 2 hours I played last night. The sound starts looping then the whole thing freezes. A quick heads up, if you're looking to unlock guns and attachments etc fast, then jump on TDM. No worrying about objectives and vehicles, just straight up instant action. I unlocked the...

    Java 7 Update 45 released

    I have the latest Java running in the background because my nas needs it. I've tried unchecking the updater in control panel but it likes to keep itself permanently on.

    Yeah I do. I take it, it's better to have it enabled than not?

    Just Benchmarked my 840 Evo. How did it do?

    This is mine on Windows 8, AHCI, Intel Sata 3: Not quite sure why our scores are vastly different. I bought this drive solely for my games on steam, origin, uplay etc, and apart from BF3 and DCS A-10C, I'm massively disappointed with the performance. Not with the drive itself but the...

    Samsung 840 Evo Discussion Thread

    Thanks. I installed the update straight away. I like Magician. It's quite slick. To be honest, a little disappointed with steam. Not sure what I expected. Maybe for it to be very snappy and I suppose it's a little faster than my Spinpoint F3 but the difference so far is negligible. Not...

    Samsung 840 Evo Discussion Thread

    Got my Evo 750GB installed. Finally manned up and stuck Windows 8 on my other drive. I kind of like it. I'm using the Evo purely as a games drive so I was slightly annoyed I've only got 698GB of free space. I've lost 52GB straight off the bat. Oh well.
