    Question USB ports problem, power surge, phones not getting recognized ?

    Hi, these past few days I've had some issues making my iPhone (and sometimes my S20+) appear on my PC. iTunes or Windows Explorer don't always recognize it, and the USB mobile hotspot is straight up not working, or once every few hours it does but for a few seconds, then both the hotspot and the...

    Question Bring my desktop to another country

    Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to board the plane with a desktop, probably not as carry-on. If so, what do I need to know? Should I remove any parts and put them in my carry-on? I have an iCUE 220T RGB case...

    Question Looking for a used gaming laptop

    Hello everyone! I am going to study abroad for a full year and I don't have a gaming laptop, just one for uni. I was thinking about buying a second hand one, I don't want to spend a lot for it because I will just use it for a year and then super occasionally when I'm traveling. I will mainly...

    [SOLVED] 1080p 240Hz or 1440p 144Hz with my setup?

    Hello, I currently have a 2060Super and a R5 2600, and I wanted to know if it's worth it to go from a 1080p 240Hz monitor to a 1440p 144Hz one. Will my setup be able to run games at 144Hz on that resolution? AAA or not. I don't play super competitively, but playing at 90-100 FPS is my bare...

    But I've tried isolating the sound and it's coming from the GPU

    Question Is my PSU bad? Is it causing coil whine on GPU?

    I have a be quiet! Pure Power 11 80 Plus Gold PSU (I've had it for less than 5 months), is it a bad one? Could it be causing coil whine on my RTX 2060 Super? Honestly this noise is driving me insane... Thanks.

    [SOLVED] Hissing noises, maybe GPU?

    Hi guys, yesterday everything was working perfectly fine, but this morning it looks like my BIOS got reset or something happened, and my PC started making some hissing noises. Full specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ley01/saved/GRP9GX It might be the GPU (RTX 2060 Super), except when I...

    Question CPU high temps - 9700k.

    If your normal temps are 60-65 you don't have to worry, imo. Are you using the stock CPU cooler? How many case fans do you have? Also you should -if you haven't already- clean the dust from your case, that will greatly help, for a start. I had the same issue, so I added 2 exhaust fans (3...

    [SOLVED] BEST GPU under £300 end of 2019?

    I haven't tried many games with RT, but with my 2060 Super I can get 80+ FPS on Modern Warfare with RTX on, full ultra 1080p. I'm very happy with this card so far, but I might be biased since I haven't tried any other similar GPUs.

    Question CPU high temps - 9700k.

    80C might be a bit too high for a game like Dota, since it's not a demanding game at all. What's your CPU usage while playing? When's the last time you applied some thermal paste? https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/maximum-safe-temperature-for-i7-9700k.3412685/ CompuTronix said on this...

    Question CPU high temps - 9700k.

    I had that same problem last week and went for a Noctua D15S cooler (R5 2600), and went from 50 idle, 95 full load, to 30 idle, 50 full load (C). Getting 35C on Dota, after around 6 hours of playing. What helped was getting an aftermarket cooler and changing the thermal paste.
