When building a new computer, there’s always the question of what CPU cooler to choose. Do you go for the best looking cooler, one that meets your needs, or perhaps one that performs the best? The market for CPU coolers is filled with different sizes, brands, prices, styles and performances, so choosing the right one can be difficult. Some better than others, some that provide you with the necessary tools to get started, some that are fairly basic. Processors are the operational brains of any computer and they can output incredible heat, and they can ‘fry’ if this heat is…

Happy Star Wars day from us at Tech Support Forum… Check out the new Star Wars Episode VII trailers here (Available Christmas 2015):
With so many places to drive to, the only thing standing in your way is the directions to get there. You could choose to use an old fashion map, but not only is it illegal to drive and use a map at the same time, you’ll give yourself a bigger headache than ever. With so many people in the world owning a smartphone, using your smartphone as a car navigation system is one of its many benefits. The only downside is GPS tends to drain your battery, leaving you arriving to your destination on time, but with a dead phone…
With the advancement in electronic mail, very rarely do we receive letters through our local mail service. Communication between people has moved to a digital age as we are seeing letters, advertisements, bills, and informational mail come to us digitally. The power of the internet allows us to message anyone, anywhere, anytime and it’s virtually free. I rely heavily on my email working every single day as I have contacts that I need to stay in touch with, as well as keeping updated with payments and other associated emails. Likewise, I tend to hold onto important emails that I may…
Back in 2012, Samsung reported that throughout the year they had sold 107.5 million smartphones, making the technology giant the world’s largest cellphone manufacturer. In a market that has consistently grown over the years, research shows that by the end of 2013, 1.4 billion people had been using a smartphone; that’s one out of five people worldwide. Out of that 1.4 billion, 144.5 million reside in the United States and 30.9 million in the United Kingdom. These devices travel with us no matter where we go. We rely on them to provide navigation, communication, access to the internet, or even…
Would you believe that there was a time where remotes didn’t come with an LED backlight to help assist you at night? In fact, that’s how most remotes are today. Walk into your living room and count how many devices are in there. One? Two? Five? The thing is, each one of these devices will require a remote to do certain functions, functions like changing the channel, volume, settings of the device, etc. Cable and satellite companies have tried to assist in this problem of too many remotes by having their DVR remotes control both the DVR and TV, but…
Ask a gamer to list off their gaming essentials and one thing they will mention is the headset that they use every day. It’s a headset that they’ve fallen in love with, a headset that is used for gaming, music, and videos. Nobody enjoys playing online computer games alone, so the right equipment is required to communicate with your allies and hunt for victory. At the same time, the headset needs to provide comfort for all day gaming sessions. With the market for gaming headsets already crowded, the gaming division of Kingston decided it was their turn to make an…
My first ever bought headphones were a Professional Studio headset that was offered by Shure, an 80 year old United States company that made a large impact in professional studios. I purchased those nearly two and a half years ago. I used the headset for a few months, but because of its low level of comfort, I found myself using it less and less. With a birthday that was coming up, I decided to look around to see what I could find as a replacement and it was when I first saw them on a YouTube video that my attention…
With its latest advancement in design, style, and functionality, the Scholes and Glidden personal recording machine is a fresh step towards the future! Also known as the Remmington No. 1, this new incredible machine makes today’s technology look outdated and useless since Scholes and Glidden have developed, what I’d call, the most beautiful piece of hardware available. And here it is: Beautiful, isn’t it? It was released to the general public back in 1873, a time that was much simpler than today. Remind yourself of the time when you had to leave your home to read the news or to…
Data. Computer values written in millions of ones and zeros that can be converted into your work resume, vacation photos, or even your favorite MP3 file. The modern world has moved to an electronic era where we can’t even walk five feet without coming in contact with a piece of technology. We all go about our lives every day with phones in our pockets, tablets in our hands, and desktop computers at our desks. And while each one may work differently, they all use the same method of storing data and data is sometimes irreplaceable. While it may not happen…
