    Audio Coming Through Microphone

    Hello, I have a HyperX Cloud headset and the 3.5mm jacks are plugged into the rear I/O. When I am listening to music for example, that music can be heard be other people when I am on TeamSpeak. To be clear - this is not music being picked up by my microphone because it is loud coming out of...

    Rmx 550w noise

    I had an RMx 650 - started making popping noises when I was turning power on at the wall. They're garbage. Return it and get another brand.

    FPS v Hz

    Hello all, So I have been using a 144Hz monitor since about 2012. I am extremely used to how games play on at this refresh rate/fps and am becoming more and more interested in bumping up to a 200/240Hz monitor. My question is about how games might look if I am not able to keep a solid 240 fps...

    Gaming Monitor Refresh Rate and CPU Question

    Your 7600K will not be a bottleneck. If your GPU can produce 180 fps on whatever game you are playing then you should be fine. To change my refresh rate I just change it in the Nvidia Control Panel.

    BenQ XL2430T won't register 144hz

    Hmm. I have the same monitor. DVI-D cable. I use chrome and on the UFO test (which I assume you're using) it shows 144Hz. If you have other things playing/using GPU in the background it can cause stutter but it should still show 144Hz.

    Displayport vs DVI?

    I too wondered this. I think DisplayPort has more bandwidth but realistically speaking if you only have a DVI cable there isn't any point in buying a DP cable. Unless of course you're running a very high resolution.

    Unwanted Guest in PC

    Hello, As above I think I might have an unwanted guest somewhere in my PC. I live in a house that is around 120 years old. Dust is a nightmare and so are spiders. I was checking the inside of my PC just now because I've started getting a loud pop noise when I turn the power on at the wall (PC...

    Mouse Lagging on Mousing Over Things

    Hello, Over the past couple months I have started noticing that my mouse will sometimes slow down and lag while I hover over links or shortcuts or other things of that nature - basically anything that you can click on. I have actually noticed this happening generally when I have either a...

    Connect the HDD and boot as normal. When in Windows just right-click and format the drive.

    Headphones Microphone won't work with my PC.

    Make sure you have selected the headphone microphone as the default microphone input?
