I've had my sig system for about a year now. When I first got it, the CPU (6600K) could reliably reach 4.4GHz without a significant amount of Vcore (It might have gone higher if I'd pushed, but it was 'good enough' and didn't run too hot. The XMP profile (3200 16-18-18-38) on my DIMMS (Corsair...

I'm currently having to Tether my phone to my laptop using the portable hotspot. I only need to access files on a remote server, so I want to limit the amount of background data usage, but when I try and set the connection as metered the option is greyed out http://imgur.com/i1qXozJ Any...

I have a problem with the icon used for folders, the problem only occurs on my wife's login on one computer, but nothing I've tried so far has helped. What I see on my login (And also the admin login)...

This is happening with Windows 8, but probably applies to 7 too. So as part of setting up a new OS, and spured on by the fact my windows login is tied to a microsoft account, I decided to be 'good' and switch my day-to-day windows account to a standard user and set up a separate, offline...

After using Windows 8 a bit more, it’s growing on me. Just done a fresh install on my bloatware laden Acer Laptop, and it's running well. I still hate metro, and the way it attempts to turn Windows 8 into Window 8, but they seem to have made it easier to change file associations to the...

I'm trying out W8 on my Fiancé's old HP laptop, I installed 64 bit, but i'm wondering if I should try it with 32 bit. The laptop only has 2GB of memory and isn't likely to ever be upgraded beyond that. 64 seems to work pretty well, but are there any advantages over 32 other than the memory...

As the topic says, I managed to completely lock up Windows 7 (RC 7100), only the reset/power button could get the system working again. I've been using the RC for months, and have been very happy with it (Home Premium already pre-ordered), and I've had no problems with crashes, nor seen a...

Not seen anyone else link this, It's Cracked.com's take on 'The 7 Commandments All Video Games Should Obey' http://www.cracked.com/article_16196_7-commandments-all-video-games-should-obey.html I heard it referenced in the latest Penny Arcade Podcast and found it really funny :D Hard to...

I just updated to the latest Forceware drivers, and as usual, got a new nvapps.xml file. I've customised quite a few game profiles, so I kept a copy of the old xml, but it occurred to me there might be new profiles set up already in the file that came with the new drivers that I wouldn't be...

I have a question about the windows pagefile I hope you guys can help me with. I have done a forum search, and that answered most of the questions I originally had, but I have one left, concerning the best combination of none, fixed, or dynamic pagefiles with more than one physical disk...
