My current laptop does not but I'm not opposed to buying a USB dongle for it, and I'll be building a new desktop when nvidia Pascal comes out and that will have the latest and best wifi.

Hello and thank you for helping me, I have Verizon DSL Actiontec modem/router (GT784WNV), which I have to use. I also have a NAS (WD MyCloud Mirror, 6TB) What I want to accomplish: 1. Fast wifi network for streaming video from NAS to multiple devices ( tablet, laptop, TV) 2. Move files...

I'm looking at building a new system this summer and was wondering on timelines for new tech? Ram, motherboards, cpu, gpu, etc. When can I start building if I want to use all the new tech due out this year?

I'm trying to get a good setup here, based on what I have to work with. Here's the gist: I have a NAS attached to my LAN, and I want to be able to access the files/stream movies from it, while using my phone as a wireless hotspot for my internet. I want to do this all on one laptop. Both of...

So the problem turned out to be an APM problem with the harddrive. Installing QuietHDD (https://sites.google.com/site/quiethdd/) which is a free program that alters this value on the fly completely fixed my issue.

Thanks for the reply. Windows 8 "optimizes" and defrags all of my hard-drives on a weekly basis. I just ran a 3rd party defragmenter on it and it showed no significant difference in fragmentation. The HD in question is an HGST HTS541010A9E680, so I got "DFT For Windows" from the HGST website...

I have an ASUS ROG G750JH (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JH/overview/) Any games that I install on the SSD have zero problems, but any games that are installed on the secondary HD stutter all the time when loading in new audio samples. Also if I play music off of the...

I have the Lenovo Y470p and am 100% satisfied with it. The temps run fine, max of 70c when running skyrim on high. Just a word of warning though, there are no updated drivers for the Radeon HD 7960 since it has the whole switchable graphics thing. AMD does not support it. I tried...

Thanks for the tip about those programs. They are pretty cool! Running Skyrim for about a half hour and alt-tabbing to check the temp shows a max of about 60 celsius (62 on some cores, 58 on others). Is this a temperature I should be worried about for a laptop?

I've had the laptop for about a week and am very happy with it. I love the keyboard and the speakers! They are both top notch. The screen and resolution are perfect for a 14'' laptop. I've transferred all of my GoG.com and Steam games over to it and they all run fine. I've not had any...

I've been reading up a lot and am on the verge of purchasing the Lenovo Y470p, for around 750 bucks it seems like the best value right now. I don't need bleeding edge performance, just enough to get by playing newer games on medium. Just wondering if anyone can recommend another Laptop in the...

How do I fix that? All I did was install the chip and the heatsink...anyone know why it would be at 2.14 volts? edit: according to AMD overdrive my core voltages are at 1.4 but my board voltage is 2.14...which one is correct? Running a few other programs they all show 2.14...

My level of knowledge with this stuff: I've never overclock anything before and I installed my first CPU yesterday. My PC Specs are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02016429&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&site=null&lang=en&key=null&product=4160012#N67...

Thanks for the help guys The problem was EVGA Precision (a piece of OC software that came with my GTX460 that i've never used) had some sort of screen overlay that I always had disabled. Apparently it still ran in the background and it was not compatible with nvidia's beta drivers. Even after...
