Typically the HD 5670 has 3 connectors on the back of the card (DVI, HDMI and Display Port). Using these ports are how you can achieve multi-monitor setups. I have seen derivatives of this card that replace the Display Port with a VGA connector. If that's the version of the card that you have...

You certainly won't need to upgrade your power supply. Your PC as is wouldn't draw more than 400 watts (and that's being generous). At full power the GTX 750 Ti draws 60 watts, well within your PSUs capabilities. It really doesn't say what PSU they installed in that model other than the...

The first thing I would do is monitor the network usage on your sisters computer when its running. You can do this by going to Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt_Del) and clicking on the Network tab on a windows PC or using Activity Monitor on a Mac. Its possible that there could be a rouge process...

You want them to be able to see the folder but not be allowed to access its contents? Do you want them to be able to view the files in that folder or do you want to totally block them from seeing whats in there?

From experience, I can tell you what most IT companies are going to ask you if you apply for a job. First, if your going for a corporate IT job, the interviewer is going to quiz you first on your knowledge of the OSI networking model. An IT tech who doesn't know the OSI model (at least a solid...

Predicting the future of technology is always a difficult thing to do. No one really knows where things will be in 5 or 10 years. Are game developers going to focus more on GPU intensive things like textures and particle effects or are they going to go the route of more CPU intensive tasks like...

Your going to have to experiment a bit. Start overclocking 100MHz or so at a time and see if its stable at that overclock. Keep an eye on your temps and you should be able to figure out how far you can push that motherboard. Personally I wouldn't go over 3.7GHz myself.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. It isn't a sustained overclock and shouldn't cause any issues.

I would not feel comfortable at all overclocking an FX 8350 or 8320 on that motherboard. You might be able to get away with a mild overclock if you installed heatsinks on the VRMs. Its very possible to get a mild overclock on a 4+1 motherboard, I've done it many times myself. But the 970 PRO was...

CPU power phases are pretty easy to understand. Think of a power phase as a lane that current can travel from your motherboard to your CPU. This current is controlled by a transistor, or a VRM. This is the CPU voltage regulator circuit. Think of a very simple 2 phase circuit. Each phase will be...

I have to agree. I think you will be fine with your current power supply assuming its a reliable brand. If your only looking at wattage then you don't get the entire picture. On a good power supply you can run that setup on a 600w PSU if you have the proper current on your 12 volt rail. Wattage...

Yes you can use that key. The program I linked to is only useful if you have lost the actual printed key that came with your windows disc. The OEM version doesn't have all the fancy packaging and documentation that the retail version has.

Typically the motherboard can only monitor 1 fan per header. That's probably the reason that you only have 1 PWM connector on your splitter.
