    CPU cooling for InWin 303 case

    I am getting an inwin 303 case, and am looking at the corsair hydro coolers as the massive air coolers look terrible. Would the Corsair Hydro Series H110i be compatible?

    ASUS STRIX-GTX1070-O8G vs Palit 1070

    I can add the Palit 1070 GTX to my pc specialist order for £381, or get the ASUS STRIX-GTX1070-O8G for £450. I will be using a vive. Is it worth the price difference to get the Asus one? Will I actually notice the difference?

    Headphones suddenly not working win 10

    Fixed it. No matter how many times I reinstalled the drivers I found that the default format had been altered and needed changing back to '24 bit, 44100 Hz'. No idea what changed it.

    Many Issues Caused By Windows 10

    I also like windows 10 for various reasons, but have come across quite a few bugs (including programs not opening and blank windows). Right now my headphones have stopped working for no reason. I suggest a clean install and work from there.
