How would I install this CPU cooler?

Bought a cheap CPU cooler as I'm building a low profile ITX 1155 PC sometime this week and my Intel CPU cooler came broken, so I bought this. Unfortunately it did not come with Instructions and the website is void of any help. My idea of installing it is to take the backplate off and put it to...

How much should I sell a HD 7870 on ebay UK for nowadays?

Selling my 7870 to aid saving up for one of the 300X cards from AMD, hopefully to be released in June or so (if you have any estimated release dates, feel free to post) so I can play The Witcher 3 at NEAR ultra at 60fps, which the 7870 should have no chance of doing. So how much should I sell it...

Oh dear. Some keys on K70 will not work.

Update: The 'O' key now works fine, the 'I' key is the only one left not working.

Oh dear. Some keys on K70 will not work.

So lovely Christmas and all but a spill that occurred two days ago on my Corsair K70 keyboard made some switches really annoying and sticky (at this stage the keys worked) so I was using Isopropyl alcohol on them and then I hit (this is where it goes wrong) a bottle of solder flux/remover and it...

Would Powerline ethernet make my speeds faster for my SAMBA server?

Seems @azazel1024 was right. I bought a pair of powerline ethernet devices from TP-Link, which were cheap and my speeds are very near Ethernet, averaging around 8MB/s but fluctuating far above. Very happy with my purchase xD

Yeah heard that. If I do go R9 290, it definitely won't be a reference model.

You may be right but looking at the Witcher 3 (supposed) required specs, I don't think it'll run amazingly on the 7870.

What graphics card should I upgrade to from a HD 7870?

I'll be running 1080p, yep. Heat has never been a concern for me, I've been dealing with a hot 7870 (often goes to 75 degrees) and increases noise. I don't really think I'll be using the Shield streaming but it's a good experiment, having a few Raspberry Pi's lying around. An R9 290 is...

What graphics card should I upgrade to from a HD 7870?

In preparation for that Witcher 3 Hype, I've decided I'm going to sell my trusty ol' 7870 for a new GPU that should be able to run Witcher 3 60fps near Ultra settings, the problem is what GPU I should buy? Should I get the GTX 970, R9 290 or what? The GTX 970 is quite expensive here in the UK...

Would Powerline ethernet make my speeds faster for my SAMBA server?

I currently have a very low-cost, but effective NAS solution which is a Raspberry Pi using SAMBA and a external hard drive formatted in EXT4, does everything fine in terms of watching blu rays over wireless. The thing is, is there's a few things that it is useless in and that's uncompressed...

What do you define as "low-throughput"? I plan to just (when I do) play music and films off the server because I'm sick of keeping my main PC on to do that > my android phones and other PCs. Will it be fine for that?
