Say you have a low impedance pair of headphones right? What would happen if you would connect it to one of those amps that are basically made to drive something like 600+ Ohm headphones? Would you have to turn the volume way down since the amp is just so much more powerful? How would that work...

Don't know if this is supposed to happen. My internet speed is around 12 megabits/second, and I usually download torrents at around 1.3 megabytes/second. However when downloading large files (>20 GB) my speed is around 200 kilobytes/second. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm building a PC with a gtx 960 and an i3 4170. Would a Seasonic 430 eco (430W) be enough to power this system for gaming? I picked seasonic because I've heard they have really high quality PSUs, but I am not sure if this specific model will be good enough. I do not plan on doing any...

Hello! I know there are dedicated calculators for this, but I could really appreciate some input from the community. I'm building a computer with an i3 4170 and an R9 380 from Sapphire. I was wondering if you could tell me around how much of a wattage would be required for this setup. I will...

I have a really old computer which had been sitting around in my basement for quite some time, so today I decided to bring it back out and have it do something useful (ideally install pfsense on it). Just to give you an idea of how old it is, here are some of the specs, if you're interested...

Will be building a gaming PC quite soon and I will probably be buying an r9 390x graphics card, then eventually upgrading to a second one. The CPU I am considering is the Intel i5 4690k. I was wondering if the CPU is going to be fast enough for the two graphics cards together, so as to not...

I will be making building a gaming computer pretty soon, and I wanted to use the define r5 as my case. I was wondering whether I will have to buy new, better quality fans, or if the ones included will provide enough cooling. The case comes with 2 Fractal Design Dynamic GP14's. Fan specs link...

I was thinking about large, 4k TVs which are meant to be used in living rooms and how most TV networks broadcast at around 720p and 1080i. This is a question mostly for people who have used such a large and high resolution TV. My question is, just how good does the image look at those 4k TVs...

I am building a budget gaming computer and I have found a non modular 550W power supply from Corsair, the VS550. It really suits me because it is really cheap and it comes from a reliable (as far as I know) company, but it doesn't have any efficiency rating (as in 80 plus bronze, silver etc). So...

I am looking for a 1080p monitor, around 24 inches, with a good response time (anything lower than 5 ms). Panel doesn't really matter, although I doubt there are many non TN panel monitors with a good response time. Preferably with at least one HDMI out and at least 60 Hz refresh rate. Also good...

I have a hard drive with a copy of windows 7 on it, and seeing how I am on a budget for my new PC, I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer the operating system alone from that drive to my new SSD. If so could you please link me to a guide or something to walk me through the process...

I am making a silent build and have been considering what the best route would be for exhaust: one fan running at max speed (1200 rpm, ~18 dB, probably Noctua NF-A14 non ULN) or two fans running at lower speed (650 rpm, ~8dB each, probably Noctua NF-A14 ULN with adaptor).

I am building a budget gaming PC and have been wondering whether, for my ram, I should use one 8 GB stick instead of two 4 GB sticks. I know I will be losing dual channel but at least I will have lots of upgradability for the future which means a lot to me, and is also almost 20 euros cheaper...
