When do you do the Shift+F10 then? In Windows after the format and reinstall is complete? Also, does that command overwrite the drive with 0's? I know professionals can get data back from almost anything. What I'm concerned with is only really to make sure that it's not as easy as downloading...

Hello everyone, I have 2 computers I'm going to sell, and I want to completely wipe their drives before selling them, just to be sure there's no way (no easy way for normal users at least) to recover the data on them. Going to reinstall Windows on both of the machines. This goes mainly for...

Any idea about something like an ASUS MG278Q or BenQ XL2730Z? Somewhat cheaper options that the ACER and ASUS ones, and they also have FreeSync for my AMD card. From the comments I saw about the two Acer monitors the IPS screens seem to have a lot of light bleeding in dark scenes, while the TN...

I've finished my new computer, and now I need a monitor to go with it. I would like it to be minimum 2160x1440, 144hz, decent color and contrast with DisplayPort. No set price limit, but preferrably as cheap as possible without sacrificing too much quality. My GPU is a Sapphire Radeon R9 390...

Allright, I'll think about that, thanks. Might go for the i7-4790 anyway, depending on how deep it gets discounted. I'm only buying the parts on sale, so I've got about a month to think until Black Friday / Cyber Monday I reckon. My reasoning for the CPU/GPU is simply because I've always been...

After reading your advice, and consulting Logical Increments, I've made some changes to the build. I decided to stick with OC-capable hardware just in case the CPU needs some more juice at some point (and also my main retailer sells the i5-4690k cheaper than the locked one). Still sticking with...

Thanks for a lot of great advice. Any thoughts on the GPU? My current machine runs a Radeon 5850, which has been very good, so I was thinking about going with an R9 390, 8GB. However, I know the GTX970 has higher clockspeed, but only half the VRAM. Thoughts?

I'm definitely not going to do crossfire any time soon. Very unsure about the motherboard and CPU though. For the i7-4790 the price is a bit higher, but that might be worth it if it will actually make the computer get higher fps on higher settings, or be more future-proof. I'm not really...

That's what I was thinking. My laptop has an SSD, and while it boots a lot faster than my desktop, I haven't noticed much of a difference in games, so I plan on having pretty much everything but the OS and programs that boot with the OS on the HDD. About the RAM, those in the build are...

I've started planning my first PC build. I've been gaming on PC for years, but I've bought pre-built before. I've swapped out and installed parts before, so the installation is not really an issue, but knowing what to go for is. I've set up a build based on part packages and offers from...

Like it says in the header: where do you guys get/watch your anime? There are a few I really want to watch, but I can't seem to find them. I have Netflix and Crunchyroll, but because I live in Norway, there are a few restrictions. Lately I've just seen two fairly short ones, Knights of Cydonia...

Great. Now to hope Bethesda does this with Fallout 3. GFWL is the main reason I haven't reinstalled my boxed copy on my new PC.

I actually used to have one of those, it was pretty good, but I don't remember how it was with ghosting. I have a spare one which is kinda bad, so I want to avoid that. Mostly looking for something like the Thrustmaster Tactical Board first though. Found one to consider, Logitech G13 so far.

Any kind of O-ring with the correct diameter, or specific to computer use? I work in marine industry, so I could just get them at work if they aren't specific. I'm assuming rubber, not copper or brass.

I'm currently looking for a keyboard to replace my Razer Deathstalker Ultimate 2014, which is good, but far too loud, and could do with a somewhat shorter travel distance in its keys, and I stumbled upon one called a Thrustmaster Tactical Board. It looks very intriguing, but it seems like its no...
