    [SOLVED] Does this fan placement look bad to you?

    Wasn't sure if this should go in cases or cooling... sorry if I'm in the wrong place. This case has side intake and top exhaust... no front/back fans of any kind... just seems weird to me. Wouldn't the top of the intake just be blowing air right out the top of the case with none of it moving...

    [SOLVED] Is 850W PSU enough for this setup?

    I think so, but I've seen people putting ridiculous things like 1300W on machines with lesser parts, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Also, if anything jumps out at you as a bad idea, let me know. Motherboard: ASUS ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME ENCORE Processor: Intel® Core™ i9-10980XE 18...

    Question Question about RAM and Performance

    Does RAM improve performance as you play a game? Like as you play, and more and more stuff gets loaded into the RAM, do stutters and stuff diminish as it goes to the RAM to pull the data instead of the hard drive? I ask, because I've been playing a lot of Mordhau, my CPU is my bottleneck, and...

    Connection not secure (not private)

I cannot access any websites with this network. I know it's not the clock or a virus/malware since the other one works fine. it also occurs...

    Does Nvidia uninstall old drivers before installing new ones?

    I was thinking about clearing out my old drivers and doing a fresh install, but when I went to uninstall them, only the current driver was present on the programs list. I installed my latest driver from an exe I got off of Nvidia's website. Does Nvidia automatically uninstall the old drivers or...

    Question about DX12/Win10 ...

    Ok, thanks. Doesn't seem worth it right now if I won't see perf increases in Witcher 3 or DOOM and the like.

    Question about DX12/Win10 ...

    Ok, so I'm not the most fluent pc gamer, and this DX12 thing is confusing the hell out of me. Is it even out yet? I'm seeing things from almost a year ago that it was released, but now I'm seeing that it's not released yet. I'm seeing that it's the standard API for Win10, but then I'm seeing it...
