Also, big thing here. Check your settings. It's easy to go to the distance slider and slide it all the way across, but this is very COU intensive, at that point you're looking at 32x32 chunks which is 1024 total chunks, when Minecraft's original far distance was 16x16 chunks, which is only 256...

Your modem is necessary for your internet connection. There's even the chance that that the phone jack on that side of the house isn't even usable for internet. However, as far as the internet goes, your ISP will be using PPPoE, or MAC address authentication (or some other authentication)...

The first letter is the newest 802.11 standard the Router will support. N means Wireless N (Totaling B, G, and N) AC means Wireless AC (Totalling B, G, N, and AC) AC wireless has the potential for much higher speeds on wireless, hence the next numbers. These are the speed (theoretical really)...

Well, at this point in time. Wait a little bit. AMD is releasing their RX 480 at $199 and it should beat the pants off most things in it's price range, as well as support the latest DirectX versions, and all the other new goodies for years to come. You're not leaving much room for a quality...

This will work. Adding a splitter will also make the fans attached to it all receive the same power, so you want to make sure they're the same, and in the same location, so one splitter for the front fans, one for top/rear facing. If you want more freedom in how fast each individual fan spins...

I wouldn't attempt a firmware update over the internet if that's what it's offering. Download it and upload it into the router's settings. To get there seems to be part of your issue. So, first things first, I would reset your router, just to make sure nothing has been changed out of normal. Do...

Try opening up your command prompt on your computer and typing in "ipconfig". Does it return a private IP address (ex: 192.168.x.x) or a Non-Routable IP (ex: 169.254.x.x) under your WLAN connection? Also, what type of router are you using? Is it provided by your ISP, or is it one you purchased?

There is nothing that will stop you from mixing different RAM, but there is absolutely no guarantee it will work at that point. You could plug the second stick in and it work fine, while on the other hand, you could plug the second stick and it not boot. RAM is very finicky when it comes to mix...

Well, you could try a few things, the first I would try is integrated graphics, the next thing I would try is trying a different PCI slot on your motherboard to see if that does it. If the iGPU works, then it's quite possibly an issue with the GPU, and if switching PCI lanes fixes it, it could...

High refresh rates, even if unobtainable, can be a benefit. Where your 60hz monitor will only perform admirably at 60fps, or 30fps, a 144hz monitor will work good at 144, 72, and 36. This also helps as most gaming monitors have a hard time at low frame rates. On the other hand. The quality of...

I have a z87 gaming version MSI Mobo and I think it's great. Very intuitive click-bios, and the quality is definitely there. I can also speak for MSI's support line (When I messed up, not the Mobo) who are pleasant to work with. MSI's utilities/software are also all very good. So, yes, that...

While you can overclock, I'm not sure you'd be able to push it far. AMD gpu's pull a lot of power, and moreso when they are overclocked. Remember you're also having to power your cpu and other drives. If you're overclocking you want to make sure your power supply is steady and not prone to...

Even if the test does work, that just shows the PSU has enough power to spin a fan. It doesn't guarantee it will run a computer. Of course make sure the CPU power and MOBO power are secure. However... Since you have another power supply that works to boot up the computer, and this brand new...

Well, usually if you're not going to overclock, you would normally get an H97 board. However, between those two, the MSI looks much more practical for only a few dollars more. You can choose to get an unlocked processor later if you want, it's got more room for expansion if you want to add a...
