USB 3 ports stopped working...

It's a hardware fault, not software as I've tried everything else and it just stopped working one day. I've tried the trick of turning the PC off and holding down the power button to discharge everything. I was just hoping for a common fault with a part I can replace on the board, I can do it...

USB 3 ports stopped working...

If I plug my iPhone into either of the 2 ports in the hub on the back of the mobo, it just drains my battery really fast. Windows won't see anything there, but it's obviously doing something, if I plug my Torch into it to charge, the blue ambient light turns on, but the charging light does not...

So what Monitor do I buy?

I've seen my friends Asus 144hrz whatever it is and the picture quality looks like complete crap compared to my Mac. I cannot see a difference between 60hrz or 144.... it's a big gimmick and tbh latency and motion handling are far more important. That's another thing with his monitor, it had...

So what Monitor do I buy?

I have £1000 to buy a new Monitor, I tried going the route of a 55 inch 4K tv but the latency was too much for the mouse. You could whack it in game mode but it ruined the picture quality so much and introduced this weird flickering. I was looking forward to LG's ultra fine 5k display, but...

290 xfire or wait for the Nvidia Maxwell series?

I sold them already, terrible drivers, was a bitch getting it to work with my monitors, crossfire was worthless, just ruined every game FPS and every video recording software sucks but Shadowplay. I just got two 650ti's off my friend to keep me going until Nvidia launch their maxwell stuff...

290 xfire or wait for the Nvidia Maxwell series?

I don't get why people want to wait for nm changes... it never matters, performance of new cards always get better at the same rates each year, it isn't like the next year, suddenly everything before it is worthless. What is this about no bridge cables? Is that a thing of the past now with...

I have no idea what Bitcoin is and tbh it just sounds like some weird fad that'll go nowhere, maybe I'm wrong, I haven't looked into it at all, however stuff that is too good to be true, always is.

Ah fuck it, just ordered two Sapphire 290s, £660 both both including shipping, so not much above a Ti. That way I can refit those coolers and sell them for a bit more when I upgrade again next year.

I have tinnitus so background sound is better than not having any as it drowns out the ringing, never minded the sound of fans personally.

Two are 1200p, one is 2000 something by 1080 (21:9) and the other is 1080p because it's my TV. I just like to run them all at the same time doing different things... If Crossfire will give me issues I will just skip AMD and wait for Maxwell then, I had nothing but problems with it in the past...

290 xfire or wait for the Nvidia Maxwell series?

I just have 4 DVI Monitors so I need two cards because I'm not a HDMI fan. My only other option at the same price point would be 770SLI and tbh at that point I'd definitely want to wait for Maxwell.

Noobie stumped--New system problem.

I had the problem where I couldn't install Windows to my old SSDs (Vertex 2) and so I decided to install to another SSD (Agility 3) and it was fine. However once in Windows the Vertex 2's kept disconnecting :\ Apparently Haswell boards have some compatibility issues with older sata devices.

New firmware for HTC one improves camera sharpness

Advice on my first tablet?

I have a Surface Pro, they're amazing, the best Tablet by far as it'll actually replace your Laptop and function really well as a tablet thanx to the Metro UI. Only problem is the price but if you think of it as an ultra book and not competition to an iPad then you'll get your moneys worth.

I've used a Nexus 7 last year and it's a great Tablet but a little small at only 7 inches, really it is Smart Phone size these days lol. Probably see the Note 3 be that size this year with the rate it's going. Tbh Tegra 3 is going to be good for another 2 years, we're at the point now where the...

There is still no information over if the Exynos version has 4G. Samsung gave the impression that it doesn't and we know for a fact it doesn't have a 4G chip built in like the Snapdragon... so will it be snapdragon for 4G and Exynos for 3G? Will it just be snapdragon for the US as their carriers...

Surface Sales Terrible

I'd get a Surface Pro on contract if it was 4G and cost no more than an iPad on contract. No interest in an RT or tablet in general though, I just think a Surface pro could replace my Laptop and it on contract with 4G would be perfect.

Weird uses the Snapdragon is the US. Does that mean LTE versions use Snapdragon and Exynos 5 is 3G only? They've not made it clear, if that is the case then it's a deal breaker.

Well the GS4 is a higher clock speed and a 544 not a 543 so it should perform better than the 554 in the ipad 4 seeing that resolution.
