I built my PC around this time back in 2015 so I think I'm a bit too late. I tried connecting straight to the motherboard and it's no longer in 800x600 but it shows this message "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO" along with the blue screen of death.

Did your other headset have a usb soundcard? Usually plugging the headphones straight into the motherboard creates static due to a lot of electrical interference. In my case, I bought a soundcard for my Cloud Alphas and the quality of both mic and sound improved, especially the microphone...

I recently built my pc and i forgot to put the standoffs on my define r5. I used it for 2 weeks and everything was fine. I then realised that i forgot to add the standoffs and that i could've fried my motherboard.I disassembled everything and added the standoffs in. Everything still works but...

I have a define r5 case with only 2 case fans. I also have a fan for my cpu which is the cooler master hyper 212 evo fan.

I have a Gigabyte 980 ti g1 gaming and i get around 74 degrees on full load but i have seen it go up to 77 degrees. I know that the reference gtx 980 ti full load temperature is 84 degrees. But is my temperatures too high for this specific card? I read the reviews and i see that on most...
