So there is this one keyboard (Alfawise V2) I really want to get but it is currently only available in the US layout and I'm from Germany. Now the only difference between those layouts is that the 'Y' and 'Z' keys are swapped. If I just swap the keycaps and change the keyboard layout in Windows...

I have an air cooled machine and everytime I boot up the system, all the fans from all components spin at 100% speed for a couple seconds. Is that normal? Never mind, the actual question is whether or not a watercooling pump would also go at 100% speed in the first seconds of booting.

Let´s say we build a custom watercooling loop with hardline tubing and we are experienced with bending it (no, I´m not). What do we need those fittings for? The pipes go in the other components (waterblock, radiator...) and since we don´t have 2 short tubes but one long one, technically, there...

What about these case fans? https://www.amazon.de/Corsair-PC-Geh%C3%A4usel%C3%BCfter-separate-Lichtschleifen-Lighting/dp/B075VGN4M1/ And this case? https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Phanteks-Enthoo-Evolv-ITX-mit-Sichtfenster-Mini-Tower-ohne-Netzteil-schw_999720.html Regarding your...

100% DirectX 10 compatible means your GPU has to be compatible with DirectX 10. While I don´t really know what DirectX does, different games are based on these versions, e.g. CS:GO is based on 9 while the newest titles often use version 12. In GTA 5 you can choose in settings if you want 10 or...

Hi, multiple games I play right now (R6S, GTA5, BO3) crash frequently and since I couldn´t find a way to fix that I contacted the support of the game developers. After some back and forth, all of the customer services figured there is a background program causing the issue. No one could tell...

I often experience crashes in different games and it´s always that either the game files or windows files themselves are corrupt. I know how to repair them but they keep getting korrupt again. My hard drive is a 1TB Seagate Compute which I bought late summer last year and everything else still...

Other things you can do: 1.Get yourself a passive CPU Cooler. Passive Coolers never have any fans and don´t produce any noise. Just keep in mind to have a good air flow with at least 1 intake & 1 exhaust on your PC. If you don´t want a passive cooler, at least get yourself an aftermarket...

I want to build a pc which should be halfway quiet. In which order are the parts usually regarding their loudness. A list like HDD<Case Fan<CPU Cooler but with all the parts would be very helpful. Just go for some normal part selection, nothing special in my build

Hi, I want to build a super silent pc and already decided on a passively cooled cpu & gpu, 12 db case fans and a hdd with 5400 rpm. The only thing that could be noisy right now is the PSU. I need at least 300 Watt and something very silent. By very silent I mean <12 db at full usage. Since it´s...

Hi, I want to get this PSU and I was wondering if it has all the connectors to connect to my 4 case fans simultaneousely. My case fans have 4 3-pin molex connectors.

Hi, I want to build a silent PC and want to passively cool my CPU. I have a mini ITX case, 4 case fans (2 intake & 2 exhaust) and a GPU that has a passive cooler. My first idea was to get a cheap passive CPU cooler but the product description says it only works on CPU´s up to 47 Watts. The...
