Hi first time doing a liquid cooling setup. I"m using all EK parts. I have an nzxt h440, 7700k (5.2ghertz), and rtx 2080 ti. I am water cooling for performance and noise levels. I going for a soft tube setup. Here is the parts list I have so far...

Hi was I was looking into to doing liquid cooling for the first time in my system to reduce noise and increase cooling performance. My current specs are i7 7700k 5.2ghertz cooled with corsair h110, 16 gig ddr4, gigabyte aurous Mobo, Samsung 970 pro 500gig, Samsung 850 evo TB, 4x WD blue caviar...

Had windows 8.1, ran the upgrade to windows 10 and now when I hit the login screen it says welcome and loops back to login. Is there any fix to this? Can I just fresh install windows 10 and put my windows 8 image on top of that?

I have 4x4 gigs of ram. Only 3 of the 4 sticks show up in the bios. I narrowed it down to a single chip. When I try to run with only the suspected chip in I get an error code 53 on my asus x-99 deluxe which means memory issue and it will not start. However once I start into windows with all 4...

I am looking for a mobo for gaming and over clocking for maximum single core performance. I put together a short list and I need help narrowing it down. I always bought Asus mobo's, but I'm open to trying something else...

I'd like to upgrade to an i7 7700k. Currently I'm looking for a good mobo for it. Preferably a full atx and dual band wifi. Suggestions? EDIT: I have Corsair vengeance DDR4 ram already that I want to use.

I am completely torn between these 2 options and was wondering if anyone hear has an opinion on this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW5CGIS/?tag=pcpapi-20 https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C3583FQ-Curved-Monitor-2560/dp/B01G6E4UPE I understand the differences, I just can't seem to weigh in which is...

In my current setup I have a GTX 1080 TI. The new screen must be 100hz+. I have so far narrowed it down to either a 21x9 1080p 100hz+ or standard 1440p 100hz+. Even so, there are still a good 25 options that fit my needs. What do you suggest? What about ULMB?

My current setup simplified: I7 5820k 16gig DDR4 Corsair TB samsung 850 EVO 27inch 144hz 1080p monitor GTX 1080 I will be purchasing the gtx 1080 TI card shortly and I thought it was about time for a screen upgrade. I am a fanatic about having high solid fps plus high graphics settings. 100hz+...

So I have looked around to try and figure this one out and so far I have come up blank. One day the mobo decided to go to bios and skip the boot able drive that I have used for almost 2 years. Entering the bios I don't see my SSD under boot priority, but if I hit f8 it I can click on the drive...

My current setup: I7 5820k (200watts peak usage recorded from mobo) GTX EVGA 980 SLI (I have one card OC and the other is default SC with both power turned to max 125%) 16gig DDR4 ram (this stuff probably uses 10 watts due to good design) 3 HDD"s (rarely running as main is on SSD so 6-10 watts...

So I just setup my new second GTX 980 (I got a great deal on a used one for $360. Still sticking with 1080p 144hz, don't judge my FPS fetish). I noticed the bottom GPU now runs cooler then it ever did before as a single GPU. Idle temps are 24/32. The single GPU never went below 27c idle. I am...

How do I make an FSB file from MP3/Wav? I am referring to the game natural selection 2 and I want to change some of the audio files. Don't give me a useless google search; I have enough of my own. I am looking for someone, who actually has knowledge on the subject and understands files like...

Well I want to play some DSI games without a nintendo Dsi. I have tried many emulators, but even on my pc, they are laggy and don't work. I understand the DSi is a version of linux, is it possible to get my hands on the ISO files and install it on some hardware?

Windows mouse sensitivity, Windows mouse acceleration, In game mouse sensitivity, In game mouse acceleration, mouse console poll rate, mouse console DPI, In game mouse raw input, My head is about to explode understanding all these different settings! Let me explain what I know. Poll rate is...

Well finally got my hands on one of those nifty little power supply gadgets to test watt usage. I plugged it into my pc and started running some test from idle to max benchmarks. Here are the watts used: Off 2.7-3 watts (pretty sure I have the stupid wifi wakeup magic packet option enabled)...

I have a friend who is looking into building a new gaming system. He needs the os, screen, and case. (For a screen he is just looking at getting a cheap 1080p screen, for a case whatever is cheap and fits the parts, and for an OS he wants windows 64bit modern (7-10)). Obviously it is for gaming...

Well I bought a 128gig sandisk 3.0 flash drive from B and H photo. Upon plugging it in I noticed only 115 gigs of storage (Pretty sure the math works out to 119 gigs for "128"). The speeds seem ok, but not overly fast. I checked the partition manager and it claims 115 gig total. I tried copying...

So I have Time warner cable and a plan of 50/5 all wired connection. When I speed test I almost always get 60/6 (I know I love them so much, but don't ever tell your provider that or they walk over you). Well I wanted a simple streaming program for audio and video that didn't require...

I am guessing it is coming from my gpu, but whenever I play one particular game there is a super high pitched noise coming from my computer. Any clue what it is?

So I have a folder that I can't delete. I need this folder for a specific task and its existence required it to be locked from security access, so I changed the security settings. Only issue is I can't change them back, because I am locked out. The folder is empty, I just want to get rid of it.

Here's what happens: 1.screen blacks goes back flash a few times and I alt f4 program (ctrl alt delete doesn't work) 2. then system mouse is super slow and laggy, however mouse moves like normal but I have to wait 5 seconds in between clicking things. I check task manger and nothing is getting...

Maybe this is spammy, but I think it is fun/cool to go back to old message boards with posts from super early 2000 and read people's tech questions and their sub 1Ghertz> CPU clocks. :P Anyone have links to more of those I can read?

I know there is a method in the command prompt, but I am looking for (A working) click and go solution for a friend of mine, who doesn't want to touch the CMD. Any softer that works? Everything I tried fails.

Hello I have the oneplus one and I have been loving it. I recently decided to put CM12 on it. I was able to load that on and get it working. All well and good, but I hate the CM12 and want to go back to CM11, I tried using the CM11 files to go back, but there is a certificate error when it tries...

I had a question about using a physix card. I currently have a GTX 980 and an i7 5820k clocked to 4.4ghertz. A lot of games run super good, but a certain number of terribly optimized games run very large gaps in fps. I swear, the spent so much time making a good game they forgot to make it run...

I was looking into super cooling options and this came up. Apparently it is pretty well known and delivers super low temps. I read something about it making one side super hot, thereby making the other super cold. I under stand how heat exchange works, but I still don't get this. Is it good for...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TdCYCJ Here is what he is thinking of getting. He has the OS, and all the other stuff. Does it seem balanced enough? He plays more GPU based games. Also another goal with this build was to have the fewest upgrades needed. The choice was either a better cpu/decent gpu or...

I want a UPS that can handle my system during gaming for 5-10 minutes without going out during a power outage. I have an i7 5820k, gtx 980, 16gig of ram, and 4 hard drives. Both the CPU and GPU are over clocked. I have a 750watt PSU. What would you suggest?

Geeks unite! Over clocking is the real stuff! I have over clocked my ,ram slightly, gpu, and cpu. Heck I would over clock my screen if I could........or wait..........I can? So I found out my screen is unlocked and I can over clock the refresh rate. It is a 144hertz, but I tried it and hit 146...

So I have a game I play that is uses both GPU and CPU pretty hard, but it tends to hit the CPU harder. Natural selection 2 is the name. I have a GTX 980 and an i7-5820k water cooled OC to 4.4ghertz with super nice temps. When the game gets going with a lot of entities on screen, I start losing...

I recently purchased a Lenovo y50/70 for an amazing deal a good chunk lower then ebay sellers. It is in perfect condition and here are the specs: •Processor 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4720HQ Processor (2.60GHz 1600MHz 6MB) •Operating system Windows 8.1 64 •1920x1080p tn panel touch screen...

Well I had a GTX 980, but I sold it back for pretty much every dollar I paid for it. I want to get a sli setup, because I want more FPS. Even though I am 1080p for now (I love 120fps ultra) I will get a 1440p when then the high refresh rate ones drop price. I know stupid Shoulda, coulda...

What do they mean by locked lanes on the i75820k. So the i75820k can perform like the 5930k, but intel locked the extra data lanes on it?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1043156-REG/eqd_eq278cg_27_cg_gaming.html there it is. I want a 27inch 1080p @144hertz. When I saw it was IPS my mouth dropped. Sells for around $350 elsewhere but BH has it for cheap. Is it any good? PS. I don't have the best eyesight so 27inch 1080p...

I know there isn't any guarantees, but one thing is for sure the amd r9 390x is going to be a Titan killer at in insanely better price. My question is should I sell my GTX 980 back on ebay and wait for the AMD r9 390x? I am seeing almost everyone auctioning (with complete sales) the same gtx...

So I have the gtx 980 and the idle temp is high, but the fan doesn't turn on. I open EVGA precision and launch my settings and I see the gpu at 60c from browsing the web (granted the fans doesn't run). Then the fan starts up and it slows down to a nice 35c. Is the gpu built in settings waiting...

Well I am happy with my build, but I always think about my next upgrades and my next one will be a newer screen and a second gtx 980. That aside, I was wondering if there is a screen on the market that meets what I want: 3xxx by 1440p, 144hertz refresh rate, curved wide screen 21x9, and IPS...

Well I have the samsung evo 850 960gig ssd and I feel like it is getting written too fast. I use samsung's magician software to prolong the life and I have everything set to max ssd life. This drive is used as the os and gaming drive. I noticed the right seems to be moving up a 0.02-0.04 a day...
