I've recently parted ways with my massive gaming rig that I built myself, and am searching for a portable, slim ( >1inch thick, >5lbs) laptop that could not only handle coursework, but also run games decently. I understand that with portability and small form factor, that there's no way I will...

I already have a monster gaming desktop for all of my gaming needs. What I need now is a laptop that I can bring with me virtually anywhere, be super thing (Able to fit in my already crammed backpack) and super light. I would prefer if it had a touchscreen, but this is not a necessity. I was...

Now that I think of it, I would want my 2nd monitor to be vertical, and my 1st monitor to not be. Sorry for the confusion :P Anyone know of any good vertical monitor stands for cheap? That also don't take up that much space?

I forgot to mention that I would like for it to be able to swivel so it could go vertical like

My system specs are as follows: Case: Corsair 750D PSU: Corsair CX750M CPU: Intel i7 4790k Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 Z97 GPU: R9 290x Ram: 2x4gb 1600mhz CPU cooler: 212 Evo So my case has many open spots for fans, and since it's a full tower I can fit the larger sized fans. I have 2 slots for fans...

So I'm going to be upgrading from my 1440x900 display to a 1920x1080 display to play my games on, I have a 290x as my GPU, so it will easily be able to run games at 60FPS. I'm looking for a nice display that's over 20" but under 24", I want it to look HD, as some monitors are technically 1080...

Bump!

I'm getting a cooler this Friday, I'm looking into either some water cooler from the Corsair H series, or an air cooler, specifically the Hyper 212 Evo. I want to eventually overclock my CPU, but I don't know how water cooling works, do I need to change the coolant? Do I need to clean the...

I even let it cool down for 10 minutes, and immediately the temps will shoot up to 80C+

I made sure my heatsink and fan are both on properly, and the side of my case is off with a fan blowing on it, and the temps are still in the upper 80C

Recently, my new 4790K has been reaching temperatures upwards of 98C, when I'm not even running demanding games. My case is the corsair 750D, and my GPU is a r9 290x, but these problems happened 2 weeks before I purchased my GPU. I am running a stock cooler, and the air temperature is around...

So I had a decently old PC, as in old I mean 2004, and around 2008 I got a new monitor which has the resolution of 1440x900. I just recently built my new monster gaming/Video editing PC that has the following specs: MOBO: ASROCK Z97 Extreme 4 CPU: Intel i7 4790k RAM: 2x4 1600MHz GPU: MSI R9...

It's the MSI one with dual fans

I don't know if this makes a difference, but I plan on using 2 monitors, both at 1080p and streaming while playing my games I'm also trying to get at least 3 years out of this rig
