Hi folks I recently got hold of a 15 meter (50 feet) optical USB 3.0 extension cable for my PC. For some reason, my older PC (runs a Gigabyte Z68XP-3UD mobo) does not register the input from the devices that is connected to the extension cable, however, I can see that it does receive power...

Hi guys! Quick note: I am not sure if this qualifies as a component topic question, but I couldnt fit it any better into any other category, so here goes... My HyperX Cloud 2 broke and I need to replace the headset. The HyperX Alpha is currently on sale for around 90 USD in my country, so I...

Thanks for the reply Achaios. I'll give that a try then.

Hi everybody! So two days ago my computer was fine, but yesterday my friends told me my microphone (HyperX Cloud 2) was buzzing like crazy. I noticed that if I put the headset away (put it on the table) the buzzing would go much quieter, but as soon as my hand even got near it it would buzz...

After having messed about with for some time, I figured that Windows somehow altered some of my drivers - including the graphics driver, my keyboard drive, mouse etc. Simply performing a complete re-install of the drivers fixed all the issues ---> including getting my monitor back online.

Hi. So my Windows 10 have somehow randomly reset itself to some degree. When I turned on my computer this morning, the tiles menu had gone back to default - removing all my tiles and replacing them with xbox app, explorer and what not. Moreover, my second monitor has stopped functioning and I...

Okay, it must be electrical interference... When I touch my case while wearing the headset, the noise humming heard in this audio sample: http://vocaroo.com/i/s17jepJ7icw6 immediately dispappears. I figured that I get discharged somehow. However, if another person touches the case (whom is...

Update: Okay, so I think it is a matter of grounding of some sort. If I take off my headset and let the microphone touch my PC case, then all the noise you can hear in the audio sample dissappears 100%. Something tells me that there is something wrong with my grounding of some sorts? I just...

Hi folks. So recently my old SSD (running my OS) broke down. I went ahead and got myself a new Samsung Evo 850 and installed it into the computer. At the same time I bought a 2nd screen, removed 1x 80mm fan, removed 1x WD 500 gb HDD and removed 1x DVD Drive. from the computer. I got an HyperX...

Yeah, that was excatly my thought, too. The drive is around 5 years old, so my first thought was that it has naturally just died off due to its lifetime. I am quite surprised that it actually lasted this long. The computer have been used extensively, and pretty much all parts have been replaced...

Hello people of the clever internet I have an issue with my computer, and I am afraid that I am dealing with a faulty SSD, however, I would like your opinion on the matter. So the thing is that my computer was running just fine and has been for approximately 5 years. Then, when I came in this...

Thanks for the quick reply mate! I am convinced; will go invest in this card and go for an upgrade in a years time :bounce:

Hi folks. So I have an older build, which I am considering to upgrade a bit. Specifically, I want to install an Asus GTX 1060 6gb strix in my computer, but I am not sure if it will be compatible with the motherboard or if my setup will bottleneck the GPU. Current build: Gigabyte Z68XP-UDP3...

HyperX it is - it seems in general it receives amazing reviews. Just wanted to know since I found an offer with 50% off the price on the Steelseries; all of a sudden same price, but the HyperX seems to be the better headset still. Thanks dude

Hi guys So I need some help in choosing between these two headsets: HyperX Cloud II vs SteelSeries Siberia 650 The thing is, I can get them for the same price, so it basically all comes down to performance, comfortability and compatibility. Any recommendations please? :) Best
