Simple 10€ USB soundcard did the job, I dont notice any loss in sound quality.

Hey, after I installed a new cpu 4670k and graphics card rx580, I noticed a static noise coming from my headphones which is connected straight to mobo. Noise intensity does change when system has different amount of load. Example: while playing PUBG in menu and gameplay noise intensity is...

Clean install it is then :)

Hey, I just bought a retail key for Win 10 Pro, but sadly I currently have pirated Win 8.1 installed on this PC. If I upgrade from pirated win8.1 will pirated status still carry over or will it leave a mark somewhere?

But is it really necessary to test OC with prime95 or is running IBT for ~8 hours considered stable too?

Version 29.3, after work I will test with 26.6 and I will post results.

Hey, Pretty new to overclocking and I'm trying to find stable overclock for my 4670k, but it seems I got rather unlucky with my cpu. I set it to 4.2Ghz and 1.2V, if I run intel burn test, I can run it for hours and my pc wont reboot or BSOD, but if I run prime95 it will reboot or bsod after...

Is there a way to set a trigger sensitivity for a replica ps3 controller using PC? When i press the trigger slightly it goes 100% on, with PS3 controller I don't have that problem. Example: I press the trigger slighty with replica controller car goes full throttle in GTA V, but with PS3...

I'm really hoping it's not the hardware, is there another way to find a fix to it? I checked event viewer after the windows froze and I saw Kernel-Power Event ID:41 errors.

Hey! I have a problem which is a pain to me. Pretty much every time I see a program not responding like: Firefox, Oracle Virtualbox etc. Windows 7 just freezes and sometimes gives a error that Microsoft Windows is not responding and then I just have to force it to shut down. Ctrl Alt Del or...

I have a little problem with my mobo temeratures when playing BF3. Hardware monitor shows that TMPIN0 TMPIN1 and TMPIN2 temperatures were about 128C when playing BF3 and in idle they stay well around 24-30C . Should I be worried?

I got Intel i5 4570S and while playing GTA IV on high setting temps go high as 59-61C. I know GTA IV is a very CPU demanding game but is this normal? Idle temps are near low 30s. Should I consider getting more intensive cooling for CPU? I use stock cooler.

This is a dummy question but how to I switch to the turbo? Something in the BIOS? Its default clock speed is 2.9Ghz.

Hi, I bought a custom built computer with an i5 4750S, Gigabyte Geforce GTX 760 2GB OC and 8GB RAM. The S stands there for the power saving right? Will there be a big difference in gaming if I buy a 4570?

Got an answer from Gigabyte, they said that they moved the Smartfan to System Information Viewer. This is for everyone who is having this problem.
