I don't really have files of any importance kept on my PC, mostly just programs and games

I've had my MX300 525gb from Crucial for around 5 years now i think? It's Percentage lifetime Remaining is at 18%, 36k power on hours and has written nearly 300tb (rated writes on product page 160tb) should i consider getting another ssd? i haven't gotten any error rates or fail counts yet

1440x900 with a 20fps limit? what kind of games are you playing.. and i tend to run my cards at around 50-60% fan speed at load and whatever the lowest the card supports for idle. Just set a custom fan curve in afterburner that switches over once your GPU reaches a typical minimum load temp like...

It really depends on what you personally want and what your expectations are. If you're senstitive to things like frametimes/input latency and play competitive games that require quick movements, then 1080p high refresh rate will probably do you better in the long term, especially if you're...

In MSI Afterburner's curve editor, take whatever your stock clock is and bump up different voltages starting from 1.0v going down to 975>950>925>900 etc until you find a voltage that's stable while something like heaven benchmark runs in the background. That way you can find the lowest voltage...

So pretty bad huh? lmao.. i mean i don't hear it really at all with headphones on, but at its worse i can hear it no matter where i am in the room even over my fans

So i got a new TUF Gaming OC 3070 recently and noticed the coil whine to be the loudest i've heard out of any card, my previous 3070 even when pushing hundreds of fps wasn't nearly this audible. It's worse in super high fps scenarios (300-500) but even at 100 or less, it's a little too much for...

I've been eyeing this monitor as my entry into 1440p as it's on sale here for a very good price but have a few questions/concerns i'd like to ask any owners of this monitor: How noticeable is the lower contrast ratio when compared to other ips/tn panels? I'm ok with blacks looking more dark...

So I've been trying to find my perfect mouse for a little while and have only had limited experiences with a cheap laser KB/M combo, the Razer Deathadder Elite and FK2. Surprisingly enough, the most comfortable of the 3 I've tried has been the cheap combo mouse. It's the Coolermaster Octane and...

So I'm looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard for primarily gaming purposes (though occasionally for typing) and I can't decide between two choices I've narrowed down. Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 Corsair K95 Platinum I'm leaning more towards Corsair as many people have brought up...

So I recently upgraded my PC chassis to an S340 Elite & installed 4 Corsair case fans (2x 140mm FRONT, 1x 120mm TOP & BACK) Aside from air flow noise which is expected, I'm also hearing additional "humming" coming from the PC where the 140's are installed. When some pressure is applied to the...

Looks like an upgrade to both Ram and Storage is in order. Is there anything particularly wrong in browsing for cheaper SSD options? I was looking at these three for their price point, all of which are currently 30-40 dollars cheaper than brands like Samsung and the likes: Crucial MX300 525GB...

So recently I've been doing a lot more multitasking while gaming and noticed some freezes/hiccups. When i exit to task manager I see that my HDD is at 99% usage and memory almost maxing out at around 80-90% during some games. I'm thinking of finally upgrading to an SSD to prevent any over-use of...

I've been out of the PC hardware scene for a little while and I'm looking to finally make a generation upgrade from my 780 to a 1070. I just wanted to ask, is there much of a performance difference between the cheapest and most expensive of the 1070 lineup? Or am i essentially paying for more...
