    Help! MSI GS72VR making strange noises

    I just got this laptop two days ago, and have loved it so far. It's an MSI GS72VR with 16 gigs of ram, a GTX 1060, a 7700HQ, and a 17.3 inch 4k display. I love it. The only issue is some noises have started to come from the center of the grill near the screen. It sounds similar to drops of water...

    Wifi faster than ethernet with eero

    I have two systems in my room. One is off of a wifi eero (WAP network) and the other is plugged directly into the eero. For some reason, download speeds, and speed tests are much lower on the wireless computer than on the wired one. what can I do to change this?

    Upgrade CPU or GPU?

    You've got quite and old processor... I'm not surprised there was no difference with the 1060, chances are your CPU won't be able to provide it with instructions fast enough. Definitely upgrade it first. However, don't invest in anything AM3+ right now, wait for Zen. I'm personally a fan of...

    New fan spinning at max RPM.

    Okay, does the fan have four pins or just one? Nearly all fans that have a variable speed use something called PWM, or pulse-with-modulation. Take the time to look it up when you've got a chance...it's pretty cool. The thing is that PWM requires all four pins to be connected. That means if...

    Should there be any potential problems with this build?

    It looks good overall, but I'd definitely want to check something out. General the point of getting an unlocked CPU (anything with a K after it) is to overclock. If you overclock, you'll need additional cooling headroom, and if you need additional cooling headroom, you should get an AIO liquid...

    Is it worth upgrading from my old Dell 2407WFP-HC monitor?

    Alright, It looks like you've got a bunch of questions. For one, I don't know what you could expect to get G-Sync wise with $400. It's not that it isn't much money (it is) but G-Sync has a hefty premium attached to it, and doesn't give you that much back. Because you have an Nvidia card...

    2 graphics cards better then 1?

    Okay, here are the basics: To make use of SLI, you need two of the SAME GPU. That means, you need a 560 and another 560. You can't use a 560 and a 570. What you can mix and match, however, are the brands. That means if you have a GTX 560 made by MSI, you can pick up another 560 made by ASUS or...

    CPU overheats to 92C within 20 seconds of start in bios. please help!

    I had this same issue with this verry processor and an aio. for some stupid reason, I plugged the pump into one of the fan hedoers that's controlled by the case. I inadvertently turned it down, so there wasn't enough Juce to pin the pump, but enough to to make the lights flash. try plugging the...

    My monitor turns off for a second when I turn on speakers

    what else is plugged into the outlet? if you've got a computer, a sub, two monitors, and speakers, you might be maxing out the wattage just for a moment when the amp turns on.

    I suck at games ever since I got my new monitor

    hey guys, I just got a Samsung S34E790C. a nice 3440x1440 ips display. there are, however, a few things wrong. for one, I can't seem to be able to aim like I used to in games, either too far to the left or right. I also noted that some of the features on the bf4 display screen are messed up in...
