    Question Is faster DDR3 worth it?

    I have an I74790K + 980Ti combo currently with 8GB (2x4) of 1600Mhz Corsair memory. A friend gave me 8GB (2x4) of generic 1333Mhz memory from his old PC. Should I just use it or is it worth it to try and buy matching 1600Mhz memory?

    Mouse feels sluggish in Win8.1

    Here at home we have two computers, both running Win 8.1. When I plug a mouse in my computer it feels sharp and responsive, like a mouse should feel. When I plug a mouse in the other computer, it feels sluggish and laggy, like the pointer is dragging around. It`s not a visual lag, it`s more...

    Does the router matters for wired connections?

    Stupid phone, did not mean to mark it as solved. My question is, will a more expensive router handle packet forwarding better, lower ping, etc?

    Does the router matters for wired connections?

Having wired connections in mind...

    Is a warm CPU going to last shorter?

    So, in my quest for maximum silent both my CPU and my GPU coolers can operate at 0 rpm, and with web browsing and movie watching they both stay at around 55ºC. My question is, keeping the chips at that temperature for up to 6hs every day is damaging? Anything above that and the fans engage, so...

    AC750 vs N750

The Archer is newer, with AC750 wifi and 2 antennas. The WDR is older, with N750 wifi, but 3 antennas and one more USB port...

    Dual boot with linux

    I need to install Ubuntu for college reasons, and I'd like to setup a dual boot machine. My current PC uses a SSD for Windows/Drivers/Programs and a HDD for Media/Less used programs. Can I partition my HDD and install Ubuntu on it? Will it interfere in anyway with Windows? Can I get it to...

    Wall mounted open air PC

    I have a corner desk, and my monitor sits diagonally in the corner. I cant place my case behind the monitor and under the desk I hit it with my leg. In the side, where it currently is, I think it takes too much desk space. So I was planning on mounting it to a wooden board on the wall, behind...

    USB extenders and input lag

    So, my PC sounds like a jet taking off sometimes, and I don't want to go through all the hassle of changing my internals (it runs cool though), so I thought maybe if I put it away from my ears it would be fine. How long USB cables (for my keyboard and mouse) can be without interfering in signal...
