    Discussion What's your most favorite GAMING GENRE ? **General game Discussion thread**

    Question Membrane Low Profile RGB Keyboard

    Hi all, I'm looking for a membrane keyboard that has the feel of a regular office keyboard (like i.e. HP KU-1156) but has RGB lighting. Alternatively I'd go for an equivalent of the low profile Apple Magic keyboard, but not low profile mechanical switches, membrane only and full sized. I'd...

    Question ASUS Maximus X Hero Aura Messed Up by DisplayPort cable?

    Hello, I've got an issue with my mobo. Recently wanted to switch to a DisplayPort cable but after connecting and booting I noticed that my LED strip (LED STRIP 2) was not synced with the rest (green led was not lighting properly). The issue disappeared when I switched back to HDMI. Any ideas...

    Need to upgrade mobo, CPU and RAM

    Great stuff, thanks for this! Yeah, I'll go with 16GB, 32 would be an overkill for gaming. Thanks again!

    Need to upgrade mobo, CPU and RAM

    I guess I'm just trying to make it future-proof but never had any issues with 16GB of RAM in my current rig. I do some light Photoshop and video editing projects but nothing pro or huge. Please consider 16GB option as well. Thank you!

    I'm looking into upgrading my PC. I've got a GTX 1070 but the rest is a bit dated so I need a new mobo (single graphics card setup is fine), an Intel CPU and RAM (16/32GB). My case is InWin GT1, 650W PSU. My budget would be £500-600 or slightly over. I'd appreciate your suggestions. Any...

    Removing write-protection on bootable flash drive

    What worked for me: 1. Device manager > Disk drives > properties of the borked USB disk > policies > change to "better performance" 2. Computer management > assign drive letter, format and done! I hope this helps. The drive is SanDisk Cruzer 16GB. Edit: It actually reverted to the original...
