Update: So I was able to fix the driver issue for a short time, but it was somewhat bizarre. I noticed that the drivers I was downloading from the motherboard's homepage were for version 1.1.4.38 (Armoury Crate were also installing these drivers) so I looked for the more recent drivers which in...

I'm considering it but I'm not sure the only free PCIE slot I have will fit or support it. Unfortunately my GPU is massive and there's one smaller slot at the bottom of the Maximus Z790 hero motherboard available but I need to figure out if I can install a network card in it.

I have done that without any success. Device manager doesn't even list my ethernet adapter, so it sounds like it's dead. Some folks have said it's a driver issue, but the fact that Windows can't even recognise the adapter suggest it's not a driver problem.

Hi folks, so I need some help. Basically a week or so ago my ethernet connection suddenly disappeared and I've spent the past week trying to fix the issue without any success. I have an Asus Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard and have had no real issue with it for the past year. However the ethernet...

In Windows 11 I don't have that option and I don't believe I can get the Sony Connect app on W11. I'll keep looking but a few folks have told me that wired might be a better option for what I'm looking for when it comes to audio quality.

Hi folks, I need some advice. I'm currently using my Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones attached via Bluetooth to my PC but I know I'm not getting the best sound quality from them as it states I'm only getting DVD-quality audio in Windows. I recently purchased some SteelSeries Arctic Nova Pro Wireless...

Hi folks, So I've recently been thinking about getting a steering wheel for PC and PS5, having just started playing Gran Turismo 7. But there are so many options on the market with so many variations that it's all rather overwhelming. I've done a fair bit of research but I'm still not clear...

Hello folks, So I appreciate that you get a lot of these questions here, but having done a good few months of research I feel like I'm nowhere near deciding on what would be a good 4K display for me. Read many articles and reviews, watched thousands of videos, and looked around the web for...

Hello all, So I need some help, I want to use my 1440 monitor for some console gaming but the thing is my monitor doesn't have speakers so I'd need to buy some separate speakers to then fit my monitor for audio, thing is I mainly use wireless headphones when playing but I'm not sure if I bought...

Update: Think I solved it, but it's an issue I've never come across. First of all, discovered that Windows 11 had installed some incorrect drivers so had to uninstall a bunch of stuff, and after reinstalling it fixed the stuttering and lagging in Windows 11 when playing games. Secondly, I'd...

Sorry, forgot to mention that. The keyboard is a Corsair K100 RGB, the mouse is the Razer Basilisk V3. Tried another mouse and was still getting it, also tried another keyboard and was experiencing the same. Starting to think it might be a driver/windows update issue or even an issue with EA...

I'm at a loss here folks, So I recently installed Windows 11 from a clean install and have had a bizarre issue which is kind of hard to explain, but I'll do my best. When I try out BF2042 my experiences will be stuttery, and lag filled and when using my keyboard and mouse for movement it's like...

Thanks, I actually ended up getting the h170 and it did include the 1700 bracket. So that's good to know for those in a similar position.

I'm still having some difficulties figuring out which case is best suited and I'm reading mixed messages regarding the most suitable power supply requirements. Some cases I've looked at just don't fit the HX1200 (and the HX100 for that matter) so I've been looking elsewhere.

Hello folks, Just a quick question, but does anyone know if the iCue H150i Elite Capellix CPU cooler comes with the LGA 1700 adapter included, or do you still have to purchase the adapter separately? I read that Corsair intended to include the 1700 adapter in future packages of the product but...
