    Need help choosing a monitor

    I use my pc in a dark room, I guess IPS is not for me because of the glow thing, so it's between TN and VA. I don't mind the pixel density, I was using a 32' 1080p TV as a monitor before and it didn't bother me, so 27' should be ok, right? What's wrong with the VA monitor though? I rarely play...

    Need help choosing a monitor

    Hello guys, I've been using a 32' samsung TV as my monitor for a while but it just died, so I'm gonna have to buy a replacement. The general consensus is that monitors are better than TVs for gaming, so I'm going for a monitor this time. I want a 27' monitor because 24' is too small for me, I...

    Hello guys, I have a fairly old PC, it has a i5 3570k, 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3 of RAM, the mobo is a GA-B75M- D3H, and the GPU was a Radeon 7950 3GB until it died a few months ago.

    GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix vs EVGA SC Gaming

    Hello guys, I'm gonna buy a GTX 1070 and my first two options were the MSI Gaming X and the Asus ROG Strix, but none of them were available in my country, so I was ready to buy the EVGA SC Gaming instead, and today is the purchase day, so I decided to do a quick re-check of the available models...

    Do I need to update my BIOS for this GPU?

    Hello guys, my current mobo is an old Gigabyte B75M-D3H, I've never updated my BIOS and I have used two different GPUs before, a Radeon 7950 and a GTX 760, both worked fine. The thing is, I'm gonna buy a GTX 1070, but I don't know if the mobo will recognize the GPU naturally or if I'll need a...

    Which GTX 1070 is better for these prices in my country?

    Hello guys, I'm gonna buy a gtx 1070 soon, but I have no idea which to pick. I don't care about which performs the best because at the end of the day it's not gonna be a huge difference, and I also don't care about looks because my case is closed, the only things I care about are price, noise...

    Question about intake and exhaust fans

    Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know about the side by side vs series thing. I still don't know if I should have 2 or 3 intakes though, which do you think is better? The Noctua fans I'm gonna buy have 63,27 CFM at 1200 RPM, and I use the H80i in quiet mode, which makes both fans spin at...

    Hello, currently I have a Corsair H80i (which has 2 fans, one in each side of the radiator) and 1 other fan as exhausts, plus 3 intake fans (1 on the front, 2 on the side), and I'm about to buy new fans because the old ones are getting too loud. I put 3 intake fans initially because the H80i has...

    Hi guys, I don't know if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but here it goes. I'm gonna buy a new cooler for my cpu, and I'd really like to buy the Corsair Hydro H80i, so I asked the vendor if this cooler is compatible with my case, a Thermaltake Versa I, and he said it wouldn't fit due to the...
