    How do I go from water cooling back to fans?

    It is very possible. you take the whole water loop out (would definitly recomend watching videos on how to do this), then buy a CPU fan I would recomoned a coolermaster 212 hyper evo its a very cost effective CPU cooler. Make sure that your case has clearance for it first. you will also need to...

    Home built amd system is under performing, is there a problem with it speccy file included

    I think your problem may be that your CPU is bottlenecking the system. people run FX-8350's with 7970's typically. somebody correct me if im wrong, but I think you may need a CPU upgrade. The bulldozer architecture is not a very effective architecture, and upgrading to piledriver is a good idea...

    AMD Driver-Brightness Conflict

    you can change the brightness in CCC, but this will not fix F2 & F3, essentially a temporary fix

    AMD Catalyst Center does not display more options

    In prefrences in the top left corner of CCC, change from standard view to advanced view. this will get all of the other options back

    AMD Catalyst Drivers

    in my opinion, I would not uninstall these drivers. A lot of these have to do with tools that you need in order to run these programs and to a have basic functionality, so yes these are necessary

    how do i get half life to play on windows 8

    If you are launching with steam, typically steam will hide the error message, these include missing dll's etc. if you launch HL2 from your steam directory, rather than through steam, it will tell you the error that is killing the program. Hopefully this works for you.

    Catalyst Control Center won't install since Windows 8.1

    I would try to install the beta drivers for CCC if you haven't yet. that's pretty much all that I can think of myself

    USB-universal serial bus controller/ is missing in device manager on my windows 8 computer!

    The newer laptops typically come with USB 3.0, I would recomend going to dell.com or somewhere similar and look at it's specs and what kind of usb 3.0 controller it uses. if you can get that far, you should be able to download it and install and it should work from there. Another thing that you...
