    Custom loop coolant question: Colored VS Clear in 2018

    I know colored coolant used to have a major problem of clogging both tubes and blocks, but is that still a thing in 2018 or can I comfortably put EKWB's red coolant in my $3250 PC's custom loop? First time making a custom loop so I don't really know anything other than the basics and that...

    I'm getting a new computer today or tomorrow with a 1440p monitor (paired with a GTX 1070ti and a Ryzen 1600) and I am trying not to blow every penny I have on a monitor, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me how much better it will be to have a 144Hz monitor as opposed to a 60Hz monitor...

    I knew I would need to re-install it, was just curious if I can still use it for free... I have it paired to my account and everything so I'm hoping it will work.

    Also I'd like your opinion on the G.Skill KM780 RGB keyboard... Seems impossible to find an RGB mechanical gaming keyboard for a reasonable price that doesn't have a lot of bad reviews...

    Need help creating a new build

    I'm making a new build I plan to buy in a couple weeks (I've spent months on this but I would like to have as many "second opinions" as possible before I blow $2000 on a computer). My current plan is this: Ryzen 1700 (w/stock cooler) ASRock Taichi X370 16GB (2x8GB) Ripjaws V 3200 mHz MSI GTX...

    ASUS Radeon R7 260X Drivers

    You are right DVI-I works with DVI-I and -D. I only have one DVI cable, however, and it is being used for my primary monitor. The adapter that came with my graphics card must not work properly. Also, I accidentally got a MICRO-ATX motherboard, it works fine with all my parts, but there is only...
