I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the hardware needs of the EVO 970 Plus. Some people have told me that my MAXIMUS Hero VII will not work with it, some have told me it will, and a few have told me that the motherboard will cripple the potential performance of the storage drive but is...

My motherboard has four case fan connectors and two CPU fan connectors. My case has seven fans and my CPU cooler has two. This means that I am three connectors short. It there a way to power the other fans?

I typically upgrade my card every three years and today I go to search for information about the 1180 and whatever will come after Vega. I discovered that the prices for cards are about twice what they normally are. For instance, I bought my current card, 980ti, for $600 when it launched. It now...

Hello, I'm a bit confused about M.2. sockets and what I should buy. My motherboard, Hero vii, has one free slot left to connect a storage drive to, but it's an M.2. socket and I don't know much about them. According to the manual, it's an 'M.2. Socket 3' type, and on PC part picket there...

I've been holding off on purchasing a monitor for the past four years and had my hopes fixed on something that will last for a decade. That would mean a holy grail of 144hz, IPS, 4k, and G-synch/Freesync. I finally found it in these two monitors, but I have not heard any news about them in a...

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade an old computer for a family member this Christmas but found that there are a limited number of options for Sata II SSDs. Apart from lost potential speed, can I hook-up a Sata III SSD to a Sata II connector?

Ever since DP 1.3 was announced to have been completed in 2014 I've been anxiously awaiting a 4k 120hz monitor. Now it's closing in on the 2Q of 2016 and I have still not heard anything more.

Wow, thanks so much Pointed! I've never tried an open-back headphone before, but hearing what you had to say about them and looking into both the X7 and Q701 have really excited me. I think I'm sold on your suggestion of a 7xx + X7 combo, but I'm now curious if there is anything else I should...

I've had my eyes on the PM-3 after many reviewers and people gave it such high praise, but as soon as I started asking around on the Hi Fi forum it became very unpopular due to a roll-off in treble at 7khz and sound-stage. I was told that it was a poor selection for gaming, which is a half of...
