    Lian Li Brought A Bevy Of New Chassis To Computex

    Optical drives are not "essential". I've not used one in at least 4 years now. My last few cases don't even have 5 1/4 bays and I like it that way. Cleaner inside. Flash drives are faster, larger and harder to damage than cd's/dvd's. I lost interest in Lian Li after they started making desk...

    Nasty virus installing Firefox and Chrome

    Well, not to come off rude or degrading but you might want to start with some real anti-virus software. Windows defender simply doesn't cut it, Period. There are free versions of Bitdefender, Avira, Avast and more but I would choose either Bitdefender or Avira due to their track records on...

    Volume insanely loud, cannot change it.

    Sounds like it's time to visit the support page for your model and look for driver/firmware updates... I'd also look for bios updates while you're there.

    Qualcomm Responds To More Apple Lawsuits, This Time In China

    LMAO! This coming from the company that charges double or more the retail value of the INTEL hardware it uses in it's own computers. Apple's upgrade page charges over $1000 for intel cpu's that retail everywhere on the planet for $539, $600 to add an additional hard drive.. REALLY?? I mean they...

    Deepcool Gamer Storm Captain 120EX CPU Liquid Cooler Review

    Hopefully, as a new company, they've worked out their leak issues. I Purchased the Genome case for a client build and after a week it sprung a leak and ruined EVERYTHING. Total system loss. $2700 worth of gear up in smoke and sparks. Although I will mention they reimbursed my client for the loss...

    Questions about 21:9 widescreen resolutions.

    You can also use https://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/ instead of manually editing but the Geforce experience should optimize it for you.

    Fallout 4 artifacts on 21:9 resolution.

    I run native 2560x1080. Only issue I really get are things not lining up correctly. There is a mod for widescreen support that is an esp but with patch 1.7.12 it crashes the game to desktop. I've not had any issues with artifacting like that. I wish they'd add true 21:9 support..

    How big is this motherboard?

    That's a pretty dated system running ddr2 with a rage xl 8m. Unless your running server 03 or xp, you'll not find drivers for server 08/08r2/7 and above. So be prepared for 256 colors on everything.

    low cpu usage low fps intel i3 6100

    I was able to run everything on the market except MK X and GTA 5 on an intel hd4600 @ 45fps and medium graphics. Games like Aliens, skyrim, dishonored etc.. all ran totally fine for smooth gaming. I was impressed myself. A 530 is a decent step up on integrated and will work just fine. Heck, I...
