I have connected my computer through USB 3.0 cable with an external (backup) hard disk (Hitachi HDS724040ALE640, SATA III, 7200rpm, 4TB, NTFS formatted, empty).
The USB controller in external case box and the
USB port on mainboard are USB 3.0 compatible.
When I benchmark now the transfer rate...

So I'm running a pretty horrible spec'd PC. Not going into details, but this is the bench from CPU-Z.
Is it possible to overclock this CPU? I've seen google stuff that say yes, but most were very old.
(I've gotten answers on another site that it can be, if motherboard and such is right...
Hi,
I was maxing out my CPU with prime95 for 30min and the temps was good around 60c
Then I did close prime95 and I did open it again to run it and it did only manage to push the CPU to 80% according to task manager and as my fans did not start to run at full speed I guess it was correct that it...

When I first spoke to Josh Heslop, he painted a picture of the night of Surface Pro 4’s release: he was the first customer in line at the Link Removed at Baybrook Mall in Friendswood, TX, eager to get his hands on the new device and see what kind of gaming muscle lay underneath the...

The release of the new Pascal based cards will see the end of mainstream support for 3 or 4 way SLI. Nvidia will still include profiles for benchmarking using more than two cards but that will be about it:
"With the GeForce 10-series we’re investing heavily in 2-way SLI with our new High...
Last week my computer shutdown from going to hot. I replaced the thermal paste and that helped some. Tonight I performed a stress test on my cpu from intel extreme tuning utulity for 2 min The temps were 91, 99, 88, 99 When not under stress the cores temps fluctuate but are around 61, 67...

Windows 10 will see the release of DX12 which like AMD's Mantle see's the bulk of work spread across all the CPU's cores instead of just the first core taking all the brunt.
Now with the latest update of 3DMark (you'll need a full licence) users can see for themselves what a major change DX12...
Found this. I stress it is unofficial and, as the author says towards the end, it is a very early build.
I have run my own amateur tests with Windows 8.1, with +/- the same results.
A question that has been bouncing around my head for years, is that when benchmarking any hard drive, it always produces the same general pattern...a gradually declining slope with regularly spaced dips across the entire slope.
I just don't understand why those dips exist, because it doesn't...

Hello all,
Ever wonder why your new SSD doesn't meet your benckmarking expectations when using tools like AS SSD and/or Crystal Disk Mark? Well, there are two reasons why this might happen. First and foremost, those programs' benchmarking algorithms are not clearly defined (eg, understood) and...

I took a look at these two CPU and I'm not sure if I should build another computer. I have a AMD Phenom II X4 955 but Fry's electronics is selling this:
Link Removed page:P29_SAT date:021613
So I'm wondering if it's worth building? Both computers will have Windows 7
Hello, and thank you in advance for taking a look at my problem. I tried to research as much as I could on my own, but I've hit a wall and figured it'd be best to actually ask someone for advice. Please bear with me, as I want to be as thorough as possible, so I apologize in advance if I'm far...
