    Basic Razer keyboards - Synapse required?

    I currently have the Deathstalker Elite. When I installed it, it was PnP. It seems Synpase is an option that includes more advanced options for the keyboard in terms of setting macros, ghosting keys, game mode, etc. Once you plug it in windows will detect it and download its drivers for you...

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    Ack. I'm really tired. And I see where I messed up: I didn't clip the fan on. Clipped on, clearance is fine. I need to go to bed. I should have done this over the weekend. Phew. Thanks guys for putting up with me.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    The clearance I can already tell is a no win situation. However moving the ram is an option, but I will lose dual channel, and I'd not prefer that.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    I tried to resist. I was too weak. Lessons learned.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    And then. . . Ram clearance. Can't win! Haha. Heatsinks everywhere. Sigh. I might have to resort back to zalmans after all.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    Oh is that so? I have a Corsair Carbide 540, so taking the motherboard out a few times to install was 'unnecessarily' necessary due to its design. I have two fans up top which is why I prefer it this way. But if additional heat can be avoided, then I'll simply turn it.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    For those who are curious of the position: It is actually horizontal, which I believe is the default for this hsf. This is the top down view. It is not the fin that touches, but the copper against the aluminum(?) heatsink. Thankfully the ram aren't an interference.

    Heatsinks Touching == problem?

    Although this could be nothing, I like to be at least have another confirmation other than myself. I installed a CM Hyper 212 EVO, and both my heatsinks touch, as you can see. In my OCD mind, this makes my head want to explode, but I know worse case scenario: a little bit of heat travels...

    Advice on first PC build

    That should help you visualize the 'average' fps between the 750 TI and the 760, an investment of about a $100 + If you can afford it. You can expect fps drop in heavy gameplay of titanfall, say 10-20, a good deductible to take into account. Personally owning a Corsair CX and being a heavy...

    Artifacting from overclock?

    If you are experiencing those artifacts while OC'd, then you are not stable. It may not appear in one game, but does in another, it means that you still aren't stable. Bioshock Infinite is a bit more exhaustive than Just Cause 2 which is why an artifact may happen in that game in an unstable...

    New Build Possible Motherboard/CPU issue?

    I'm assuming the fan you are currently using is aftermarket? Have you tried a stock AMD fan that you can simply clip in there? I'm a bit suspicious of the fan you are currently using.

    Dual Monitor - Rookie tips

    It's really just as simple as making sure the GPU has 2+ display connections. DVI/HDMI/Mini display/VGA/etc, it doesn't matter. Personally I'm still attached to analog haha. If the GPU you are considering has two DVI connections then just make sure you buy the appropriate cables (converters if...
