Tips, tricks and tutorials to help you get the most out of your hardware.
Any storage devices are bound to fail after prolonged usage. Similarly, a hard disk with it’s physically moving components fail a lot often. It usually suffers from three types of failures: mechanical, logical, and overtime failure. Once the hard drive…
Back in the days when we heavily relied on HDDs, we partitioned them to improve scalability and performance. Likewise, partitioning an SSD is also achievable. Well, partitioning a solid-state drive lets you create separate sections so that file organization becomes…
Most of us format a hard drive to get rid of unwanted files and bloatware or to simply free up disk space. Also, some of us might be planning to give the drive away and want to know how to format it…
If you try formatting a 64GB+ drive in Windows, you will find that you can’t specify the File system as FAT32. You won’t be able to format such drives to FAT32 on Windows either through the command line or the…

Before 2020, when DDR5 was yet to be released, DDR4 memory was the perfect and the only choice when it came to choosing a memory module for your PC. It offered a great price-to-performance ratio. And choosing a DDR4 RAM with…
All, if not most, motherboard and CPU allow the memory to run on dual channel if configured correctly. However, if you have gotten a pre-built PC, the memory module might be set to run on a single channel, lowering your system’s…
RAM frequency is a measure of the data transfer rate between the RAM and the CPU. RAM speed/frequency directly affects your system’s performance, especially if you are gaming or multitasking. How RAM frequency works and how this number affects your…
The CPU chip, as time progresses, will not be able to perform a task as efficiently as it used to. An older chip will have difficulty processing the data due to modern software and applications demanding more computing power, or…
The advertised RAM speed is the maximum speed supported by that particular RAM stick. However, by default, your system will not run at this speed. To make use of it, you need to enable memory profiles. In some cases, the…
