    [SOLVED] Is Vanguard Safe?

    Hey guys, I must admit I haven't really been doing much research on the subject, and haven't exactly traced it back to Valorant. But I just need an expert opinion. My friend notified me recently that he did a malware scan and had a bunch of backdoors, trojans and bitcoin miners on his computer...

    CSGO Matchmaking Problems

    Hey guys, I know this might not be the right forum to go on, but I've tried posting/reading other forums, and I can't seem to find a solution. Recently my friend bought a new CS:GO account, played his placement matches and got it to Global Elite. He then later gave me the account since he...

    What Temperature Should My GPU be at?

    Hi, so I know that my GPU "should" be around 70/80 while gaming, but I read that it should also be around 40/50 when idle. However, mine is around 60 degrees Celsius when idle, and I don't know if I should be worried or not. This is my specs and temps while idle.

    Can I run 2 different video cards at the same time?

    It is possible to use two different graphics cards at the same time, but you can't SLI them, if that's what you're thinking. If they're both Nvidia, you can use one for, say DayZ, and another for CSGO. But you can't put both graphics cards to work on the same game unless they're the same...

    Looking to upgrade CPU

    Hi, I currently game with an i7-4790 CPU and I am wanting an upgrade. I was thinking about upgrading to the i7-4790k, but that would just be a waste of money, since there is not much of a difference. So I was wondering which CPU I should go with. Not too cheap, not too expensive. Kindest...

    which version of windows is best for gaming

    I find Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 the best ones for gaming atm, since Windows 10 isn't optimized for everything yet. I had a few problems running CS:GO, Dirty Bomb and so on.

    Can this setup run csgo?

    I mean, you should be capable of getting more than 60 fps, however, I would definitely recommend in investing in a graphics card or a new gaming rig.

    Upgrading the GPU of the Alienware X51 (early 2012)

    I would highly recommend the Geforce GTX 980 since it's got great performance, and you get what you pay for. I'm not sure exactly what PSU you have, but you either have a 240W one, or a 330W one.

    MacBook can't select printer (even though it is detected)

    So, I didn't know any forum elsewhere where I could post this. I know this is mostly a PC related forum, but as written above, I didn't know anywhere else. Anyway, so I recently bought a MacBook for schoolwork etc. and for some reason, I can't print via the printer at home. All the PC's in the...

    i5 vs i7

    Hi, so I'm gonna build a new gaming computer. And I was wondering which of these processors I should buy. INTEL Core I5-4690 3,5GHz INTEL Core I7-4790 3,6GHz My friend says it doesn't have much of a difference, but when I look at the specs, the i7 has more cache than the i5, so I'm not sure...
