Hey guys, So I put together a new PC running Windows 10 Pro around 3 months ago and everything was working perfect till 2 days ago when my mic suddenly stopped working. I use a Steelseries Siberia V2 headset and the headphones work fine, but the mic is not picking up any noise at all. I tried...

I was actually wondering about this too. I don't plan to SLI or run a multi monitor setup. I will however, run a single monitor at 1440p. So my question is: Will 2GB extra VRAM really matter for a higher resolution? If it doesn't or has minimal impact, I'd rather go for the cheaper option...

Thanks for the clarification gamerk316 :) Out of curiosity, what speakers would you classify as great? I always thought Logitech was the top brand, at least when it came to PC sound systems.

I don't even know what EAX is, nor do I have a clue what the benefits of an X-Fi card are! So I'm ok either way, really. Thanks for your card suggestions though. Unfortunately, the two Creative cards I mentioned are the only ones immediately available to me over here. I'll try to import one of...

I won't really be listening to music on those speakers. They're mostly for gaming and watching movies. This X-Fi card is available here: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-XtremeMusic/dp/B000AY7A1I Seems pretty old as well, but is the only X-Fi available here (at the moment at...

So the SB Audigy series can give me good surround sound gaming/movies?

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll just buy the speakers and check if the quality is decent. There is very little variety of sound cards being sold in my country anyway. I did, however, find a good deal for this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102178 Creative...

Hi guys, I'm rather clueless when it comes to sound cards etc, so I thought I'd try my luck here :) I recently got a new rig (i5 2500k and ASUS P8P67 Pro motherboard) and am now on the verge of buying Logitech Z5500 speakers (since I heard great things about them). I heard that onboard cards...

Ok, I was told that my voltage is too low and that I should use an odd numbered multiplier. I'm going to change it from 22 to 21 and up voltage to 1.2. However, I have a feeling that I am messing up my RAM settings. My RAM is rated at 1600 so I upped the DRAM frequency in the 1600s. Should I...

Update: I was playing a game and after around an hour I got a BSOD. So I guess my overclock wasn't very stable. Back to stock settings for now. Thoughts anyone?

Hi folks! :) I have an i7 930, Asus P6X58D-E motherboard and Corsair XMS3 6GB ram (1600). I just overclocked it to 3.6ghz using the following settings: AI Overclock Tweaker: [Manual] CPU Ratio Setting: [22] Intel SpeedStep Tech: [Disabled] Xtreme Phase Full...

So some dude on the ASUS forums posted this: The problem is most likely in the ESCD table in the BIOS... it apparently isn't retaining the system hardware configuration and has to start over again on each bootup.. Could be a fualt in the EEPROM chip itself... or in the circuitry that powers...

I still have 7 months left on my warranty. Problem is that I'm certain it is going to be a long and painful procedure (I live in Pakistan... do the math) and I don't think I can stay without my PC for that long. I'm still hoping that I can somehow resolve the issue without having to return the...

Ok, so I tried a bunch of things but none of them worked :( I used the clear CMOS switch on my motherboard. I took out the CMOS battery and then popped it back in. I then bought a new CMOS battery and replaced the old one. But I still get the New CPU Installed! screen EVERY TIME the pc boots...
