Hello, Today I started using NVidia surround and it has been working for games like Minecraft and Black Ops II. However, for Slender: The Arrival it has not been working, the game only detects 1600x900 Resolution (one of the monitors) while all the other games detect the 4800x900 (surround...

Full System Specs: GPU: MSI GTX 970Ti Overclocked CPU: Intel i7 4790k SSD: Crucial MX100 500GB Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Blue Ram CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO Cooler Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W Power Supply Case: NZXT White Case

Like when I played Minecraft (without any Shaders) and I didn't have VSync on, I got about 1500 to 2000 FPS and the Coil Whining got very loud, so this is an example of pushing the PSU to higher limits, correct? If so, this corresponds when I turned on VSync and it limited the game to 60 FPS...

Sorry to bother you again, but is there any way to decrease Coil Whine? Or should I look into another same-price power supply (which would you suggest)? Also, do you have any ideas why it only happens on Minecraft with Ultra High Shaders? Thanks, Brian

Is it bad for the PSU or it just a noise-annoyance thing? Thanks for the quick reply by the way, Brian

Hello, I have a Corsair 750W Power Supply and everything was going fine until I started gaming. I heard a high-pitched squealing noise and eventually found out it was the PSU Coil Whining; however, I turned on VSync for some of my FPS games and the whining went away, but on Minecraft (only when...

Okay! Thanks for you help and the quick reply! - Brian

Hello, I am currently building my first PC and there are two fans built into the case. I followed the cables and found they both eventually connect into a 2 Pin Male Molex, but I am not sure whether to plug it into the Power Supply, to the motherboard (how do I do this?), or both. What should I...

Hello, I bought a Intel i7-4790k for my CPU, but I am using a different CPU Cooler, the Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO Cooler, which is much better than the default CPU Cooler. So, I was wondering if I needed to apply thermal paste? Or is there already thermal paste on the CPU and it is an...

I like your suggestion except it is right next to $500 which I understand is in my price range but I am looking to shave off some cash. Do you think the GTX 970 SSC ATX 2.0 Cooler is better than the GTX 780Ti and overall is a decent GPU for a good price?

Hello, I recently ordered some parts for my first computer build however, the GPU (GTX 780Ti Super Clocked with ACX Cooler) I wanted has been sold out for a good amount of time, so I am looking for replacement! I am currently looking at the GTX 970 or the GTX 980, which one or any GPU would you...

Ok, assuming I read and understood your messages correctly, I will go with the 1st build combined with the new parts in the 2nd message. Thank you for your help! - Brian
