Thank you for your reply, I used to get about 45-50 mbps with my old computer which had a gaming motherboard. My Mac laptop is getting about 12-20 mpbs right now while my old All-in-one PC is getting between .5-5 mbps. I will be getting a newer Desktop next year, but just looking for a solution...

Hi Peoples, I have a Fiber router. My PCs are connected to it via wifi. I do not understand the tech or specs of what i need to improve my speed. What type of connection do I have 5GHz/2.4GHz? If I get an adapter that is a Wireless USB Adapter 5GHz/2.4GHz Dual Band 600Mbps, am I getting the...

Thanks. I will try.

I feel a bit dejected because I built a PC with a MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB and a MSI's Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard. On occassion (not all the time) if I have a game running high end graphics I get a screen freeze. I feel like this should not be an issue with my setup. Any ideas? It does not...

Just to let people know that I pulled the card about and reapplied thermal paste. Now it sits at 50 degrees under the same stress it was at 106 before...yay.

Double Post ;)

Cheers Supernova, Yeah. I had a MSI Gaming 7 mobo that fried itself (3 months old) not long ago and was forced to buy a new one. I think i will just get a new GPU but I am not sure if it is wise to go down the MSI route again. I may try the XFX R9 280X though I am not sure how compatible it...

Hi All, My MSI Radeon R9 270X GPU is hitting 106 degrees while playing games. It sits at around 45-50 when idle. My CPU does not go above 40 degrees while playing games. My PC has frozen a few times recently whilst gaming. I get an off colour white screen with thin vertical lines. Is the...

Thanks for the reply. So you are basically saying I should add a second ethernet port to bypass the original? Any recommendations as to what to get? It does seem that Qualcomm has somehow managed to make a mess of their program which is a bit disturbing as they advertise it as Killer Ethernet!

Apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum. I had quite a few problems, but I finally finished building my own PC. One thing that I can't work out is why my ethernet internet connection seems to have gotten a little bit slower. My previous speeds were 12 mbps download and about 1.1 mbps...

Okay, first time I built a PC so please be gentle. I had everything running fine in a mid tower but I was concerned about airflow and heat. I just bought a Phantom 530 and transferred everything into it. When I turn on the power absolutely nothing happens. I just want to clarify where the...

Just wanted to add that the case is a NVXT Phantom 530. Also, there is no beeping at all no lights or anything. I am trying to breadboard the system now but still nothing. I have an Asus h61h2-am3 motherboard without a manual.

I had an old Acer with an Asus mobo in it. I decided to upgrade to a MSI R9 270X video card. The card froze a lot, so I decided to get a full tower and move everything out of the mid tower. I was careful putting the machine back together in the new case, but when I hit the power switch...

Sorry yes. MSI Gigabyte :)

Hi Guys, I fitted a new EVGA PSU 750w and the R9 270X into my Acer Aspire system a few days ago. The case in a bit small and it took a bit of work to get it all in. The plugs on top of the video card are a little squashed as are the drive connectors on the mobo as the video card pushes into...
