    Can I install a wifi network adapter into my pc?

    Hello. Like the title says I need to install a wifi network adapter (pci-e x1) into a computer that does not have that specific slot. I took a picture of the slots it does have(mind the dust bunnies, it's been sitting awhile lol) with the top one being used for a graphics card...

    Advice for best motherboard to use for i7 4790K and GTX 1080

    very close. And no no verification. I really think alot of people like to lie about how their getting perfect steady 60 fps just to sound superior but im inclined to believe him and others. He's just a friend on steam by the way. I don't have any real friends with a gaming pc :(

    Advice for best motherboard to use for i7 4790K and GTX 1080

    Well my cpu temps well let's say for gta 5 range between 48 and 53 max celcius mostly but I have a kraken x52 cooler. The problem I have is when I talk to people with the same hardware they seem to claim they get better fps overall than I get. I was just talking to a buddy not long ago about gta...

    Advice for best motherboard to use for i7 4790K and GTX 1080

    Hello all, currently I have the msi z97 gaming5 for a motherboard but I feel like it causes a bottleneck for this duo. Anybody maybe have the same hardware and can suggest a different motherboard? The way I see it, the gtx 1080 is not going to bottleneck the 4790K and vice versa so I'd think it...

    Who's in their 30's and still likes to play PC games? Which ones do you play?

    It's funny I didn't get my first pc until 2003 (with windows 98) and the only thing I could play on that was Nintendo, sega genesis games, etc. The problem with people our age playing online is that most players are kids that we have to play with! I still have a lot of vintage games on my pc...

    Who's in their 30's and still likes to play PC games? Which ones do you play?

    I'm 36 and seem to be addicted to gaming. I've loved video games since my first console(atari 7800). I guess my love for it will never die. I only just recently got into online gaming last summer and I never seem to get tired of it. So far i've played GTA 5(alot), Borderlands 2, and Saints Row...

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    Ok that's good to know. By the way I thought i'd share my new temps with you. I was playing GTA 5 for 2 hours with the clock speed at 4.4GHz(4790K processor and GTX 1080 graphics card) and the hottest core was 62 degrees celsius at max. That's definitely an improvement over 70 degrees + with my...

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    No I'm using a usb external optical drive now and thank you for the recommendations. I'll certainly look into those. I did install the kraken in the front and everything is working fine but the radiator is able to move a little bit since the mesh only has like 1 inch slots not small holes and...

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    $150 maybe? Yes on the window. Definitely enough space to install my kraken at the top. ATX Midtower and I generally like black and blue(same with the lighting too). The tower I have now fits 2 hdd's, 1 cd rom drive, and a couple ssd's. I'd like to fit at least 1 more hdd.

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    Yeah I guess that's ultimately what I'm gonna have to do is upgrade the case because I don't really like the fact that it's going to be in the front acting as an intake instead of an exhuast and also the way it will be screwed in. Is there a case you can maybe recommend. I'll try not to cheap...

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    Oh I just had an idea. How about I mount the unit in front but with the fans on the outside of the mesh and the radiator on the inside of the mesh. The only problem I have is that I removed the top part of the mesh to make way for an internal dvd drive but I have since removed that and have...

    Hi, I've had this problem before too in 7 and 8.1. Have you disabled windows update from starting up in the services menu? An easy way to achieve this is go to your charms menu click search and type administrative tools, click that and scroll down to services and click on that, then you want to...

    Just bought an aio cooler and cant get it to fit

    Hello, as the title says I just bought a kraken x52 240mm aio cooler for my gaming pc. Now while my case supports it my motherboard, which is an msi z97 gaming 5, doesn't seem to because at the top my ram chips get in the way of the radiator and other things that protrude from the motherboard do...

    Can't boot to windows 8.1 anymore after trying to install windows 7

    Well I did the same thing to boot to windows again but this time I couldn't do it. The msi logo appeared and then it went to a blue screen error saying my computer needs to be repaired. I couldn't even boot from my windows 7 disk! So my solution was to turn of the computer, unplug everything...
