Hi! My five-year old 1070 ti that I assembled for my media pc had its fans running at full speed no matter what. It worked perfectly except all the noise, but I decided I'd replace the thermal compound and maybe that'd help with the noise. The fans are spinning on the gpu, but the it doesn't...

Please do, intrigued to hear the outcome.

Hello, a month or two ago I bought a 7800XT (swapped from 1070 ti) and I've been having some weird graphics issues that I've never encountered before. In some games I've tried (Command and Conquer and Rocket League) I get some sort of twitching image, as well as sudden black screens lasting...

Hi! I upgraded my brother's pc a month back and the installed NVMe has suddenly stopped showing up, both in the bios and windows. It has worked flawlessly up until today when he booted his pc up. The drive is gone. We tried all measures I redeemed necessary including bios reset, a bunch of...

Hi! I have a weird post, but bare with me. In Warzone 1 I had an incredible amount of lag, to the point where my game would freeze for several seconds at a time, multiple times a minute. Of course, it happened at the most crucial of moments. In game, it reflects as ping spikes and I blamed my...

Hey I have a motherboard for 8th and 9th gen Intel lying around and decided to make a build. I have gotten my hands on 16gb memory and a 1070. Though I have not yet decided on CPU. The motherboard is a b360 chipset and does not allow for overclocking. I have a friend who is interested I a PC...

Alright, ill stick to it. Thanks for your replies!

After setting everything up I have everything I need available. I do not plan on SLI because of bad experience, so with this in mind, it seems to me that it is not worth the effort of changing, am I forgetting something?

Hi I upgraded my PC from 4690k to 9600k and because of lacking time I chose a motherboard that fit my budget without acknowledging the chipset. I ordered and received a B360 motherboard, instead of the preferred z390. Aside from B360 not supporting my ram speed or any memory or CPU overclock...

Bought the Yamaha rx-v465 and a pair of Klipsch R15m on sale. I am thinking of future upgradability, but for know i think i am satisfied. Lets see how it sounds in a few days!

I found another receiver, Yamaha rx-v450 or rx-v465. Would they do fine? I do like the Black Pearl, and z906 are too expensive unfortunately and 5.1 does not fit in my room.. Thinking of the rx-v450 as it has optical in and isnt too expensive

Lets put it this way. I want to be able to turn my TV on and use it as a speaker for music whilst cooking or cleaning or having friends over. I also want to make movies sound like they are meant to better than the TV speakers could do. The Black pearl ones have had good reviews and is stated not...

The klipsches are not available anywhere here in Sweden, and the cost of delivery is high on amazon.. I see what you are saying though

The receiver is a NAD T743. There are converters to use for coax to optical/RCA. Though not knowing what inputs my TV will have is an issue. What cable gets me the best sound? Would it be better to look for a HDMI receiver? What is the most common cables for connecting to a modern TV? Are the...

I have spoken to a guy that offers a set of Audio pro black pearl v2 with receiver at a price of 150 bucks. Apparently a great receiver but with defective optical connector. Deal or no deal?
