    Are Kailh switches any good

    I'd go for red switches. Tried them out in store and they feel very nice.

    Did you overclock your monitor?

    I was thinking about buying a 120 or 144 hz monitor but they seam a bit expensive. Also, call me a console peasant, but I can't see the difference between 90 and 144hz displays. Both look and feel equally smooth. So I was wondering if there was a regular LCD panel that could go up to 85-90hz...

    Slight artifacts on a CRT monitor

    I've decided to dig out my old LG Flatron monitor to use it as a secondary display and it still works great. Except when I look closely I can see some slight artifacts in certain spots. Dark colors on white background have some shading to the right of them. I took a picture of a simple black...

    Setting up a third monitor

    One of the commenters said it works with a third monitor. Looks like it's just what I need. Thanks!

    Setting up a third monitor

    Sorry, forgot to mention. It's r9 270x. It's got one displayport.

    Setting up a third monitor

    As it turns out I need to use a displayport to plug a third monitor (or it will just duplicate one of the other two) but none of the monitors have a displayport on them. Can I use a cable with DVI on one end and a displayport on the other? Thanks!

    Should I replace my power supply?

    Thanks for replying. It's about 90$ in my region which is quite an investment for me. Did anyone have some bad experience with Chieftech PSUs?

    Should I replace my power supply?

    I was told that my 5 years old Chieftech GPS700AB power supply is a "fire hazard". Is it really that bad? Now I'm looking at this SeaSonic M12II-520 Bronze and considering buying it. Here's my system: i7 4790k overclocked to 4.7GHz Power Color AMD RX480 8G single Silicone Power SSD single 8gigs...

    4k monitor only works at 30 hz on start up

    It's HDMI 2.0 compatible. I might be wrong but there seam to be a little bit of screen tearing when using HDMI even with AMD freesync turned on.

    4k monitor only works at 30 hz on start up

    It's a Power Color rx480 red devil 8GB with the latest drivers. I've had the same issue with the old drivers as well.

    4k monitor only works at 30 hz on start up

    I've recently bought a 4k LG 27UD68 monitor and when I start my computer I get "The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display...

    Random black screens after upgrading to RX 480

    Thanks for the answer. I've had a Power Color card before that worked fine. Also it's got a nice heat sink and a back plate so I've decided to go with it.

    Random black screens after upgrading to RX 480

    Power Color also offers a BIOS version for this specific card. Can it fix the issue or is it only ment for overclocking? I don't think this problem is a good enough reason to return this card. I'll try to reduce the voltage to 1000 mV and see what happens. It's hard to diagnose this problem...

    Can I upgrade?

    I think this is compatible: https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Twin-Turbo-Cooler/dp/B005FYCFG8 Blower style coolers are usually cheaply made but they get the job done. Also by replacing it you'll lose the warranty.

    Random black screens after upgrading to RX 480

    Hi! So I've upgraded from r9 270x to Power Color RX 480 Red Devil recently and started getting random black screens and choppy audio that sounds like it stuck in a short loop. When the black screen happens the only thing I can do is to hard reset my computer. This only happens while playing...
