Damn, that's what I was afraid of. That's the last ****ing time I google and use some random website for advice. This is a learning experience, for sure. Not sure what to do now. Had I been smart I would've screencapped the command prompt window for reference, but I was caught up in the moment...

Pardon me if this sounds vague or kind of noobish. I was trying to forcibly delete a persistent font that wouldn't delete through the fonts folder. When I was trying to type the next "\" after "Windows" I hit Enter on accident instead (the Enter key is right below "\"), and it ran the prompt...

So, I must leave Precision X open/minimized at all times for the fans to work like I want? For what's it worth, my idle temperatures were under 30c out of the box. And as I said, they got up to 70c in game, and still the fans never kicked in.

Noticed the fans weren't spinning at all after installing the card. Decided to test out some games, figuring it had to get hot before they would start, but nope, the card got all the way up to 70C, with nary a single spin from the fans. If I open EVGA PrecisionX 16, the fans will finally start...

My exact card is an EVGA GTX 980 SC with ACX 2.0 cooling. There are two connections on the card for 6-pin cables. Do I plug in 2 PCI-E cables (with 6+2 pin connectors, ignoring the +2) from my modular power supply into this one card? The card came with two PSU adapters that are just 6-pin. I...

So, I'm trying to download my drivers for my hardware before I get ready to build my new computer, but I'm having trouble finding the USB drivers. On the product support page on ASUS's website, selecting Windows 8.1 (the OS I will be using) brings up no USB drivers. But Windows 7 does. Will...

Okay, hopefully this will be my last post. I think I've got everything finalized. Here is my (hopefully) final build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wDt3vK If I can some final blessings on it from the experts here (I'm still a bit of scrub :p), then I will move ahead with purchasing it :)

Updated the original post. Been doing some small tweaking to the build to lower the price. Down to about $1550 now :) I'm thinking the CM Hyper 212 EVO might be best after all. This will only be my second build, and I'm not 100% comfortable with the idea of messing with a liquid cooler. The way...

Yeah, I was afraid the PSU was overkill. 750W it is then. I've updated the original post. That's brings down the price by about $40-$50 bucks. As for the cooler, I'm actually using the Hyper 212 Evo in my current build now. Thing is, my CPU now likes to run hot. It is in a garage that has been...

Been using a nearly half-decade old build with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 (3.4 ghz). I've only upgraded it once in 2012, replacing the case and CPU cooler, as well as putting in a GTX 560ti. Not the most powerful build, but a decent mid-range one that's been good to me for some light to moderate...
