Basically, just get a monitor with as close to the same specs as my current and I should be fine, correct?

So far, unfortunately, I am unable to find a second monitor of the one I am currently using. I have found people selling the same model just the next size down. (current Acer GN276HL, what I found Acer GN246HL) Would sticking with the same brand help to eliminate that issue of the adapter or is...

What are some things to look for or be mindful of prior to buying a second monitor to run a dual set up on my computer? What are something that might cause issues or make differences to avoid? For example: would having 2 different brands be an issue? would the same model of monitor just a...

alright, sounds good. any other tips that might help keep temp down just in case?

I am not sure on the GPU temp. I am unsure on how to check that. I only have the program called core temp that seems to show the CPU temp. It too is a little concerning it is running 95-115 F. They are all in one. The CPU has its own cooling and the GPU has its own it came with.

Lately, I have been noticing my computer seems to be running hotter than it use to. I am not sure if the heat is being generated from my GPU or CPU. Both of them are liquid cooled. I recently opened the case while it was running to see if I could feel any sort of heat source. Seems my GPU maybe...

Is it possible update windows without booting up to the HDD? I have it connected to a different computer as an external drive. My other computer took a dump on me after and update. I am trying to see if updating it from my main computer will fix it.

so I took the HDD that had the OS on it and hooked in my computer to boot to it. Still did the same thing it did in my wifes' computer. So have figured it is the HDD. I can pull up the files on the HDD when I hook it up through USB. So I guess that is a good thing.

my computer was working fine before i went to sleep. i woke up to my computer with a black screen and just a blinking underscore mark in the top left corner. I reboot the computer and it does the memory test and then straight back to the black screen. I can crtl-alt-del and the computer...

My wife made a new desk. The base of the desk is made from half inch steel pipe. The tower is sitting the side of the desk on a small from attached to the base of the table. What might be some effective items to manage the wires with out just zip-tie the wires to the legs.

But for that drive what is the difference and in the 2D and 3D stuff? does it really make a difference?

this seems a little backwards IMO, but why is 2D more expensive the 3D? Is it any "better"? I intend to basically put the operating system and a game or two on the SSD.

I am trying to purchase a new SSD. I have noticed a few things that I would like some clarification first. 1) what is the difference in 2D and 3D NAND? 2) Form factors, is there a difference? I see a normal drive looking one and a RAM looking type.
