I know this gets posted a lot, but I can't find a definitive answer. I'm using Realtek HD Audio for my surround sound attempt. I have a receiver that's transmitting it, and I'm using a TV for video. HDMI for it all. Which is the correct series of connections that must be made to get true...

Specs: -FX 6300 at 4.2 GHz -GTX 970 4GB VRAM -8 GB RAM -Windows 10 I tried to turn on my PC, and there was no Image on the screen. I didn't move anything from when I last used it. In addition, nothing plugged into the USB ports (mouse, keyboard) was working. I tried a new power supply and...

I currently use a Toshiba 24" HDTV as my monitor. If I were to get a similar-sized computer monitor at the same resolution, would I see a difference in image quality? Specs: -GTX 970 -FX 6300 -Windows 8.1

I'm in my UEFI BIOS on my Gigabyte 970A-UD3P Mobo, and I'm trying to overclock my FX-6300. I can't change my CPU Clock Ratio to manual from automatic. It just won't let me. It's stuck at 17.50 and I want it at 22. I click it and press enter to it, and nothing happens. Any advice?

I've seen a few threads on here about this subject, but none seem to have a definitive answer...if there is one. What's the motherboard I should go with to overclock an FX-6300? Does an option exist under $100? I have an MSI 970a-G43 now. Full Specs: -MSI R9 270x 2GB -8 GB Ram -MSI 970a-G43...

So, this will be a very dumb question, but I'm semi-new to the whole PC gaming thing. Would I benefit from turning off Vsync to get a higher framerate in GTA V? I see people on YouTube and such playing at framerates higher than 60, and I can't help but think that they must get a ton of visual...

I wouldn't know how to open the Realtek Sound Manager.

I've been using my Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones for a little while, and I've found that the sound is a little lackluster, for everything from music to gaming. I've tried a few EQs and Razer Surround for my games, but I'm at the point where I've reached my wit's end. Nothing seems to add...

I want to have an EQ running for all audio coming out of my computer into my headphones. The audio now is a bit lackluster. What is the best EQ program to install, and how would I go about installing it? I have heard of Equalizer APO, but I have no idea how to use/install it. Any help would be...

I have a Toshiba 23L1350U 23" television that I am currently using as the monitor for my computer. I want to get an Acer H236HL Bid Monitor, 23" as well. I connect using HDMI. Both have a resolution of 1080p. Would I see an improvement in quality, or is it not worth the purchase?
