Hello! I was looking to get a ASUS c300 chromebook or a c720 acer chromebook but I can't decide which to get. I heard that the acer chromebook is faster, but I would really like a bigger screen. There is only a $20 price difference, but I cant decide due to the lack of good reviews on the ASUS...

Hi! So i'm sorry if this is a really stupid idea, but I don't know too much about modding or customizing components. I have this motherboard and it has these gold bars and text on the heatsinks. (Here is a picture) I was wondering if it would be ok to color over the gold with a red sharpie...

Hello! I currently have an antec case that is just terrible housing my current build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3p6UU) I am looking for a windowed case that has good cable management and high build quality. Here are the ones I have come up with - Corsair Graphite Series 230T Fractal Design...

Hello! My build is currently an i5 4670k with an xfx 550 watt PSU, hyper 212 evo, 8gb ram, 1 TB HDD, and a gigabyte hd3 motherboard. I was wondering which GPU would work well with this build.

Hello! I need to get a better cooler, so I am looking at the hyper 212 evo. However, I was looking at my motherboard, and I am worried the heatsinks will block the cooler. My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-Z87-HD3. Here is a picture of the whole setup. The yellow boxes highlight the areas I am...

Hello! I just tried to run prime95. As soon as I clicked the start button my temps shot all the way up to 80c at which point I turned it off. Why in the world is it getting that hot? I am running an i5 4670k with stock cooler, 5 case fans, and no gpu at the moment.

Hello! I currently have an i5 4670k and it is running at around 59c while gaming. I don't have a graphics card in yet, but when I get one, will it make my system run cooler? The reason I ask is because I can then stop using the integrated graphics in the CPU. Thanks!

Hello! I just built my new pc and I was looking at some stats and temps. Are all of these normal at light use? Thanks!

Hello! I bought some cheap fans for my computer and noticed a problem. They only have 3 pin female plugs on them. So I was hoping that someone could reccomend a good adaptor so that my motherboard could control the speed via a 4 pin female connector. Also it would need to make the cable longer...

Hello! This is my first gaming pc build, and I was going to go with a corsair PSU. I found two deals on amazon, but I don't know which to get. The modular is cheaper because it is on sale. Modular Non Modular
