    Best overall PC Gaming headset. Which will provide all I'm looking for?

    Currently, the set that lays on top of my head is the now-broken Sony Pulse Elite (Link for specs here): http://www.amazon.com/Edition-Wireless-Headset-PlayStation-3-63089006306200/dp/B0087OZ5FG It recently broke at the ear cuffs, quickly ushering opinions like "design flaw" to mind...

    Does SLMGR -REARM command reset upon reinstallation? (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 OEM)

    I have been using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1, for a while now, without activating. I've been using the long-used Slmgr -rearm trick to delay buying my own product key (trying to save money), but now I have ran out of -rearms. Consequently, I have two questions: If I reformat and...

    Looking to upgrade a GTX 770 SC SLI for 1440p gaming.

    Not long ago I bought a couple GTX 770 SC 2gb cards to SLI with. It turned out great and the performance is seriously good, but I'm looking to future proof my rig even more and give my present GPUs to my girlfriend to help her save money in building her gaming PC. Now the question stands, what...

    How long should I wait to assemble and install a new HDD into a PC that's been in a fairly cold environment?

    An older rig and a brand new HDD had been next to a refrigerator in a particularly cold room for several days (without my knowledge) and now I am wondering how long I should be waiting before doing assembly work/powering it up in order to avoid condensation and ultimately, damage. It's seen...

    Is lower 80c temp @ Full load high for a GTX 770 SC SLI setup?

    Basically I hit in the 80c range after playing Far Cry 3 for a while. As the title suggests I am running with a GTX 770 SC SLI configuration, and was curious if this temp was at all dangerous. Should Far Cry 3 at max settings cause this? Also, what temp should I aim for at full load, in order to...
