My wife blogs, shares at Facebook and Twitter, watch TV shows and movies, and play games. With all those activities, it is clear that she needs a dedicated computer and I want to give her that as a gift from a loving husband. She is just using the laptop and I guess it is the right time for year to enjoy a powerful computer just like me. Based on the motherboard that I already have, the computer will be a 4-core Intel Core 2 Quad system. I have the ASUS P5G41-T M LX3 board and because of that, these are the parts of the build: Processor Since the board has up to 1333MHz FSB, I choose the Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9550 because it has 12M L2 Cache and runs at 2.83 GHz. Instead of buying a faster model, I will just overclock this CPU up to 3.1 or 3.2 GHz. The four cores of this CPU will easily handle my wife's gaming as well. Motherboard The ASUS P5G41-T M LX3 is an entry-level DDR3 board, which makes it a great budget board for a DDR3 and USB 3.0 build. ...

Last Christmas (this is not the song) I build my 6-core computer as a gift to myself. I was on budget and I am on a city that has not that much to offer when it comes to the latest computer hardware, so my build may seem to be not the best for a six-core budget gaming build. However, if you have the same situation like me, this guide might help you. By the way, I enjoyed this build in real-life work and gaming, so I still have the confidence to share it. Great PCs are from great parts built to work as one. Let us look on the parts of my build: Processor I started with the processor because my target is building a 6-core computer. Because I am in budget, I will not dream of the 3rd generation i7s or Xeons. The best choice is a Phenom II X6 processor from AMD, which is much cheaper and powerful. The shop handed me the 1075T, which runs at 3.00 GHz at stock speed and 3.5 GHz at Turbo. I do not really have much choice in the shop and decided to overclock this CPU to 3.6 u...

I have been modifying computer cases for a while now and this Lian Li PC-A03 is the smallest one that I worked with. I've got this Lian Li from a friend after selling it in a very low price. This is a second-hand case and you can't see this case on Lian Li's website anymore because it is one of their old products. It is old and used but it is still very valuable to me because it is my first time to hold a Lian Li. I hold it, touch it, feel it, and agree to everyone that says Lian Li is the best computer case manufacturer that boasts to their trademark - the all-aluminum build. When it comes to quality and strength, the aluminum sheets will define everything. This also makes their cases lighter and easy to carry, though this case has no handles on it. Though it is small, you can do many things to it. The side panels of this case are so thin and light make cutting easier. It belongs to the mini-tower category. What is difficult with this case is the fan mounts. By defaul...

A YouTube channel powered by the Channel Pro Network features a personal computer from one of their hosts, Miller. He described it as his best workstation and gaming setup. The first thing that you will learn about the build is that the casing is custom painted. This gives us an idea of personalizing our computer. He named it the Rosewill Red Dawn. In his desk are the CM Storm mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad. The rig really looks like a red racing car with out-of-this-world internal parts. Let us check out the parts: For the Motherboard - He uses EVGA SR-X Classified. This kind of board could support dual XEON E5 CPUs and could utilize up to four graphics cards. This board is just a monster and with a total capacity of 96 GB of RAM, words are not enough to describe the power of this. For the Video Cards – He uses two EVGA GTX 680s in SLI mode. A single GTX 680 alone could make your gaming very amazing. However, this build utilizes two of it. Even the games that are n...

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Cooler has good reviews online but like some other liquid coolers, some users have problems with the installation too. Though the package says it is easy to install and requires no maintenance, real-life experience will always say something different. I believe it is the AMD and Intel socket compatibility that somewhat confuses users in installing this great cooler. To lessen the confusion, I have some tips for you on how to install it. First, you need to separate the parts for Intel and AMD. The manual labels and shows the parts that are only usable by either socket. The fact is that you do not need to use all of them, especially the screws. Use only the parts that are suitable for your processor. If you are using Intel, you should keep those AMD parts away. Second, you need to clear your motherboard from any cables that will come to the way of the cooler. If your casing has no back plate covering the back of the motherboard, you do not need to remove the...

My six-core rig is now running but I have problems with the AMD stock cooler. It seems that my motherboard’s (Gigabyte GA 890GPA-UD3H) CPU fan control push the fans speed to higher limits that it starts to make noise when the computer runs for a longer time or when it starts. I have already used the Easy Tune 6 utility from Gigabyte and though I controlled the speed of the fans, it will still run up to 6000 rpm when the computer boots. Therefore, I decided to find a quieter CPU cooler. I ran to the computer shop and the only CPU cooler that they have is the Antec Kuhler H2O 620. I was only thinking of an air cooler but the time I saw the box, I was indulge to it. Liquid cooling system is not really my first choice because it is more expensive. However, we the alarming noise I am experiencing on my new six-core PC, I have no reason not to buy it. I admit the installation manual and even the forums I read on the internet were a little bit confusing, but I still managed to instal...

Checking on the old boxes of my computer hardware, I came across to the motherboard manuals (walang magawa kasi brownout non). There I see the ASUS P5G41T-M LX3 motherboard manual. I bought the motherboard a year ago because I was looking for a Pentium 4 motherboard that time. It was hard to look for those kinds of motherboards in our place because Pentium 4 boards are already outdated and most of the computer shops were not keeping them. While frustrated in looking, I remembered that one of my computers is using a LGA775 socket dual core processor could actually support the Pentium 4 CPU. I then realized that I could replace the processor in that computer with the P4 CPU. Then, I will just look for an Intel LGA775 dual core processor compatible motherboard, which is easier to find than the P4 version, in order to house the dual core processor. Therefore, what I did instead is just buy a cheap motherboard that could at least support a dual core LGA 775 socket CPU. Thus, I have the ASU...

I am not a great fan of overclocking but I always want to get the slightest increase of the maximum performance of my computers. My aim of overclocking is no more than 10% increase of overall performance. I am not yet aiming any level higher than that because of safety and maintenance reasons. In short, I am not yet ready to fry my CPU or break my motherboard, or even worst, destroy my computer. Perhaps, I need more experience and research in doing this. If you are like me who wants to get more in paying less, overclocking is a good option for you. I will guide you today on how to overclock an AMD dual core processor, in my case AMD Athlon II X2 250. However, before that, you need to purchase or have the right motherboard to do the job. If you want to purchase a motherboard that can handle any socket AM3 processor and you want to get more out of it, this guide will be for you. We recommend that you buy the cheap ASRock N68C-S UCC, which can handle great overclocking wi...

Most of the parts of PC build are scavenged from my brother’s numerous PC builds. He is a computer enthusiast and a gamer, and I’m just waiting for a part that he will not use anymore. I am trying to build a computer for a lady Filipina like me. The main target for this build is to make it look more feminine, run Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and most of all, it passed to the level of a gaming PC too. Here are the parts of my rig: For the motherboard, I will use the ASUS P5G41T-M LX3. This is an entry-level DDR3 LGA775 socket board and it has an Intel G41 chipset. I have read success stories from people who installed OS X to it online, so this board is just right for me. By the way, my brother purchased this board in a cheap price aiming to upgrade it later on, but sadly, I will be the one to upgrade it. I went to the store today and bought the following parts to complete my build: Kingston KVR 1333Mhz DDR3 Memory Cards Kingston's KVR models are the cheapest...

I will teach you how to install Steam OS into your motherboard that does not have UEFI bios. The default Steam OS installation requires UEFI bios or it will not work. I did some Googling and found a way to bypass that and everything works perfectly afterwards. It is just slightly more difficult but do not worry. For those who do not know what steam OS is, it is an operating system created by Valve. It is a Linux with Debian Weezy on top and can run Linux programs if you want to.

This is an Intel high end gaming PC build. I am using a mini case from BitFenix The Prodigy M. however I'm putting these components in there instead a sapphire R9 270X Toxic edition graphics card with an awesome Raidmax 850 watt power supply, a Kingston hyper X 240 gigabyte SSD Drive in there and of course a high-quality Gigabyte board (Z87N-WIFI). as you can see I've got the Intel Core i7 4770K with some G.Skill Ripjaws memory because we're going to be overclocking this to 4.5 gigahertz running it at CL11 timings 2133 megahertz and I don't want any problems. Of course, I will use CoolIT ECO Liquid CPU cooler for the overclock.

You are probably excited about the release of Titanfall. We spent some time to configure some systems that we think many of you might be interested. These ones are kind of target varying resolutions for Titanfall specific gaming.
