After attempting to short the cmos chip, the PC stopped turning on no matter what I do. I have tried shorting the 1-6 pin for the main motherboard chip but even that won't work.

I recently installed a pcie network card and ever since, my pc has been bootlooping on startup. The only way I got past it was by turning off my psu and turning it back on and the pc then boots like normal. However, after shutting down and turning on the pc again, the problem persists. I have...

My CS:GO fps is very inconsistent, ranging from 70-170 on the lowest and the highest settings. MSI afterburner wouldn't show the GPU usage but task manager shows it peaks at 40-50%. My CPU usage is also around 40-50% peak. I just upgraded to an rx 470 from a gtx 750 and the performance is worst...

I got the Turtlebeach. They're superb, but it takes a bit to get comfortable because of how tight they are.

Can I use a Y fan splitter for my GA-H97-D3H? I’m using a gtx 590 and the card runs hot so I want to add another fan. My case supports it but I don’t know if my motherboard can handle it. The fans I want to use are two cooler master sickenflow X’s. The Y splitter I want to use...

Rough estimate of what mhz is max stable for gtx 750? I'd really like to hear from those who have overclocked a gtx 750. I'm trying to overclock my gtx 750 so I could get better fps on Rainbow Six. Rig: i7-4790 GA-H97-D3H Galaxy GTX 750 1GB I have already overclocked my gtx 750 to 250mhz on...

What is a good TIER (450W+) power supply that is around $50. Modularity would be convenient but it doesn’t matter. (Trying to upgrade from an old Mad Dog psu)

Nvm I’m retarded. That pin was supposed to go to the PSU cause it’s modular. *face palm*
