If I use a fan splitter for two fans but one of those fans fails, would I be able to detect this failure somehow using software like HWinfo64?

I'll certainly be coming back for confirmation / advice when I'm ready to make the full purchase. The bulk of it I need some more time, but a few of these components I'm going to be buying right away (I just bought that Noctua cooler yesterday after my own AIO died). The PSU is one of the...

Current PC is about 5 years old now (Old / current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h3Wr6R), so I'm getting back into researching since taking that time off. I'll be building this new PC within the next 2-6 months, and I put together this rough draft: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KRX6C6...

How about the difference in cache and more importantly, is there any difference in reliability between Seagate and Western Digital? I'm reading quite a few people saying they are getting failures from Seagate more, but I haven't found any real data to back this up yet.

My current HDD is getting quite old so I'm looking to replace it with a new 8tb-12tb drive. The ones I'm currently looking at are: https://www.newegg.com/black-wd8002fzwx-8tb/p/N82E16822234500 (WD Black 8tb) https://www.newegg.com/seagate-firecuda-st8000dx001-8tb/p/N82E16822185036 (Seagate...

I will need a few days to test these and I will repost here. Because the freezes are anywhere from twice a week to once every 2 weeks. In the meantime, if anyone has anything else I can try, let me know, please.

Hey guys. So, as the title says, my PC has been freezing randomly about once or twice a week with no blue screen. This has been going on for about 3 months now, and I don't know what to check to try to fix it. I did check HWM to see if anything was overheating and everything is good. Even...

^ Yeah that. lol... DisplayPort

1. What Is Your Country Of Origin?: United States of America 2. What do you plan to do with this monitor? (ex. Games, Movie Watching, Photo Editing, etc.): Gaming mainly, some light video editing but rarely. 3. What resolution and screen size do you want? Either a 1440p monitor at either...

Also, I'm wondering what G-Sync Compatible means vs actually having G-Sync, if anyone knows

Looking to buy a new monitor to keep up with the new GPU I just purchased. (RTX 2070 Super) I've been looking around and what I'm seeing is that this LG 27GL850-B seems to be all the craze, but there looks to be other monitors that seem to be on par with it around the same price range so I'm...

Thank you. Anyone else have an opinion?

I know the 144hz is obvious for a reactionary game such as Call of Duty or Battlefield, but how about a game like Forza Motorsport 7? I'm thinking, for a racing game where beauty trumps smoothness, the clear answer is 1440p @ 60hz, but I want to know what you guys think. Let me know, thanks.

I'm about to hit the buy button on a new GPU but it only has 1 HDMI port. I have 2 monitors and they only have HDMI ports and DisplayPort slots. I'm wondering what the best option is (What's cheapest, is there any drawback to getting any of these)...should I get: A DisplayPort to HDMI...
