    Review be quiet! Pure Base 500DX Review: Straying from Tradition

    I appreciate the reviewer's info on noise difference. The base 500's poor thermals got a lashing on social media and this case seems like a good response. I think this case does RGB in the least offensive way possible. I've been simmering on a custom loop with this case in mind and the top...

    Input lag in windows 10

    anything in windowed mode in windows 10 is triple buffered with vsync on. you're going to get input lag regardless. fullscreen gaming is the only place you won't encounter input lag. it has to do with how Desktop Windows Manager(fondly known as Aero in Win7) handles drawing apps. there is no...

    Dual Monitor Stutter

    The ONLY fix in Windows 10 to correct stuttering at this time is to run your monitors at a multiple of one another. That means if you're in a dual display environment in Windows 10 your monitor needs to be set at 120hz when paired with a 60hz display. If you want to run without stutter at...

    YouTube TV vs DirecTV Now vs Sling TV vs PlayStation Vue: Face-Off!

Hulu is still the best option if you watch Network television. IMO, Hulu it up and pick up HBO when GoT...
