    How do I connect my watercooled graphics together?

    It's all down to your motherboard and which waterblock you're going to use. As the site shows, you'll only be able to use one of these sturdy connectors if you have the correct distance between your PCI-E ports. In most cases your PCI-E slot 1 and 2 should have the correct distance. Like it's...

    3 x RL2455HM Triple Monitor Set Up

    With dual 980's you'll defenty be able to run your games at probably ultra settings. Connectivity on these cards also seems to be okay, the monitors have a VGA, DVI-D and x2 HDMI inputs. The MSI card comes with x3 Displayport, x1 HDMÌ and x1 DVI-I, and a DVI-I to VGA connector. Difference on the...

    Will my FX-4100 be bottlenecked by a Geforce MSI GTX 750Ti oc ??

    No it wouldn't bottleneck with the GTX750ti. Most games won't use all of your cores. I've been using a FX6100 (slower per core) with a HD 7970 Ghz ed. (or R9 280X) with only some slight problems, was able to run stuff like Battlefield without any bottleneck. So your CPU shouldn't bottleneck...

    Limited Wifi !! Windows 8

    It's not a problem with your computers. You might see this symbol a few secounds when you connect to your wifi, which is a normal thing while it's connecting to the wifi. Also if you've just switched the router on, it might also take a minute or two for it to connect. If the icon never goes...

    Will Windows 8 drivers work with Windows 8.1?

    Being Windows 8 drivers, they might not function on windows 8.1, but there's also a solid chance that they will work. You should try installing the Acer drivers first, it's always recommended to install the drivers you're given by the brand that made your factory-pc. Though if these drivers...

    Windows 7 docking/undocking monitor issue

    Think there's a quick shortcut for this. Holding down the windows key and clicking p will cycle through all the different display modes. (etc. duplicate, computer only, 2nd screen only, extend) It would make it a whole lot quicker than going through the resolution window every time. Hope this...

    Not good enough.

    Hmmm, have you tried updating the Intel HD Graphics Drivers? Have you made any OS upgrades or graphics driver updates in the past? If so, was it around the time your pc slowed down? It might just be that you're running some programs that eats some of your performance. You should try setting...

    Not good enough.

    1: Your FPS might differ when you have the charger plugged in, and when you're running only on the battery. 2: It might be that your Graphics are trying to save some power by running etc. 80fps instead of 150fps, since your screen can only show you 60fps anyways. 3: Completely sure the settings...

    will upgrading to windows 8 or 8.1 help improve gta 4 performance on my laptop?

    While an upgrade to 8.1 or 8.0 would defently make your pc a little faster on the desktop and such, i don't think you'll see any difference in GTA IV. Though if you want better performance, just searching "gta iv on intel hd graphics" on youtube will give you some tutorials and gameplay videos...

    Looking to furthur upgrade my PC. Help Please

    It depends alot on which gamse you play. The i5-2400 is still a good enough processor for most games out there, though there's also some games where a better performing processor will help you alot. Upgrading for your i5-3470 won't give you much of an improvement, and the increase in RAM speed...

    Good timings for DDR2 800MHZ 2X2GB

    you'll probably have to loosen the timings on the corsair stick to match the a-data stick at 5-5-5-15. Just go into BIOS (just keep clicking f12 or Delete when your pc boots), then in BIOS click the "Advanced" tab in the top. If you go down on the "advanced" page, you'll find a section named...
