    Hi, Hope I've put this in the right place. All devices: computer, router, etc. are plugged into a surge protector. My powerline adaptor is plugged into a normal socket, but has an ethernet cable running to my surge protected router. The computer is connected via ethernet to the router...

    Safe Temperature for Modern Motherboard under load?

    Hey, I run a OEM Motherboard (it isn't available to consumers, as it's custom to Acer) Though for reference, it's a motherboard that is compatible with Haswell (I run a 4770) so that should give you an idea of the type/grade of motherboard that it is. I'm just wondering what would be...

    My GTX 770 is made by...''Sapphire/PC Partner'' ?!

    My GTX 770 is made by...''Sapphire/PC Partner'' ?!

    DXDiag just says ... Nvidia. I don't think there is anysoftware out there that will identify t his card. And I really doubt that the Acer customer service rep will know either. http://i.imgur.com/2kV9k5Q.png Where's me screwdriver....*sigh*
