    Acer 3440x1440 monitor housing

    Update: just looked at all the like, manufacturer photos and they ALL have a gap towards the top. I think this is a normal every day occurrence for this monitor which is crazy.

    Acer 3440x1440 monitor housing

    That's the thing. It seems like no one owns this monitor. No reviews or anything. And I don't think getting a new monitor would be easy considering how quickly Acer retires models. The space on the sides and bottom are perfect. I think it just might be a manufacturing quirk, I've heard all acer...

    Acer 3440x1440 monitor housing

    I recently purchased the Acer UM.CB6AA.004 34" 3440x1440 monitor. And the panel is FANTASTIC like absolutely stunning. But I've noticed there's about a credit card and a half's worth of space between the top of the panel and the actual housing. Does anyone have experience with this monitor...

    Windows BSOD 0x00000050 Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area

    I recently purchased an AMD R9 390X to replace my 980 (long story there) and it seems like a swell GPU (minus the awful default fan curve). There was an instance where I was attempting to play GTA V and it took a LONG time to load the initial textures and the game itself, just now I walked away...

    Ridiculous temps i7 4790k?

    For The record, my room is about 20 Celsius. And not only that but I've seen this cooler do better on multiple occasions. If I didn't think there were some sort of issue I wouldn't have asked the question thank you to all you jerks who had to be smart about it.

    Ridiculous temps i7 4790k?

    So I recently installed a Noctua NH-D15 on my Intel i7 4790k (stock speed and voltages) and the temperatures are RIDICULOUS from what I'm sure they should be. I have the fans installed with one in the middle and the other behind the cooler both pulling air through the heat sink. Is it possible...

    CPU Temps Jumping Around Drastically.

    Okay, so I'm running an AMD FX-8350 cooled by a corsair H80i. I have seen temps jump from 30c to 80c in a matter of a single second. What in the world is happening? I was going to overclock this processor the run and gun way (set core voltage to 1.4v then set core clock to 5.0ghz) but I'm afraid...

    Running GPU's with extra voltage 24/7?

    So I know that adding extra voltage to anything consequently increases temperatures, but also increases stability. I'm currently overclocking my GPU and have come to the point where I need to add voltage to increase stability. I'm running a GIGABYTE GTX 980 G1 Gaming edition card and am debating...

    Replacement motherboard screws?

    So I'm starting a build for a friend. And he has a case but the case doesn't have screws for the standoffs. Is there anyway I can go to a hardware store and buy screws to replace them? Like I can just take the case in and try them out? Or is it even possible to go to a store and find screws that...

    How to set up desktop 5.1 Surround?

    I recently acquired a set of logitec Z506 5.1 surround speakers. I have an MSI 970 Gaming motherboard and am using the onboard audio. How do I set this up properly? I've noticed it's never truly surround for anything I do at all. But when I run the windows test all 5 speakers plus the sub work.

    How long should I run a GPU stress test for? And general tips for OC?

    So I built my rig a few months ago and I have a GTX 660 in it. The Gigabyte one with 3gb of VRAM instead of the factory 2. I love it but now that I've gotten super into parts and performance I'd like to overclock it. I'm thinking of using EVGA precision X. How long should I stress test my gpu...
