I recently sold my EVGA 750ti FTW Edition because the fan noise was a bit bothersome. I have a small ITX chassis and the GPU exhausts directly out of the case about 2 feet from where I sit at my desk. For this reason I am looking for another 750ti that is quieter. I'm a bit hesitant about going...

I built my pc about 6 months ago and it has been running like a champ until today. While playing a game the pc restarted itself with no BSOD and no indication of any errors. Thinking the game may have caused the abrupt restart I launched a hardware monitor to track my temps and started the game...

I'm sure this is not possible but I thought I would ask anyway, is it possible to control an external monitor's brightness through windows or some software. My monitor (Acer H326HL) is great but it adjusting the display brightness through the monitor itself is a clumsy and slow process. Natural...

Thanks for all the help guys! I knew 750W was overkill but that was the only PSU my local Best Buy had a the time. I will definitely look into the PSU's that were mentioned and I sell my CX750M on ebay. I really appreciate all the help!

I have a corsair cx750m and its fan is noticeably the loudest component in my system. Its a low-pitched humming sound with a little bit of a whining noise to it. I'm definitely not overloading the PSU (I have a 65w tdp CPU with a r9 270x and a single hdd) so I am guessing this is just how the...

I had a few parts lying around so I decided to throw together a new build. Athlon X2 370k Gigabyte R9 270X CX750m Asrock a88x Exreme6+ 8gb 1600mhz RAM 1TB HDD I know the CPU is holding the rest of the system back (I will be upgrading it shortly) but during gaming on this rig I have noticed a...
