    Is it worth upgrading?

    As everyone and their mother is saying as far as graphic cards go, wait. With the new 1070/1080 and AMD cards right around the corner, I can imagine cards like the 950 and 960 will take even more of a hit. I saw a deal for a 950 the other day for $100. I think that and a total of 8GB of RAM in...

    Founders Edition vs. Aftermarket GPS - Liquid Cooling

This time around I have chosen to explore the world of custom liquid cooling. I've had pretty good luck finding answers to my stupid...

    Server/Network Credible Sources

    Hello all, I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Okay so I've been working at a company since junior year of high school (about 7 years now) as a 'Computer Operator'. I never really have any expectations of staying there after I was done with college because it was truly a family-styled...

    Mic issues with Sennheiser Game One Headset

    After messing with the cables and realtek driver for a while it started working on it's own. I noticed that it worked (at first) only when I plugged the mic into the front of the computer tower so I thought that maybe the motherboard audio was starting to fail but after uninstalling and...

    Mic issues with Sennheiser Game One Headset

    First off on an unrelated note, am I just blind, or is there really not an 'Audio' section under the 'Hardware' and 'Software' threads?!?!? I would think there are enough audio related questions to where a thread would need to be made for it. But I digress. I got a couple of audio toys for...
