1) I tried disabling the cpu and gpu from device manager but that did nothing. Couldn't figure out how to release HDMI port 2, 3) Nvidia control panel has no display tab. I googled it and it seems that this is normal behaviour since there is no display connected to the graphics card. The...

I've been trying to connect my laptop to my TV but it wont work. After reading several posts about hdmi not connecting to TVs and trying everything to no avail, I ran a few tests to see where the problem was. The TV and HDMI cables are working fine as I used another laptop to check. It means...

I don't think the zenbook has a tablet mode which is the biggest requirement here so I'll stick with the transformer. Thanks for the input.

I need a laptop for university that not only has power but can also be used to take notes. I came across this which is little bit over my budget of $1000, but I think I can afford it. My main concern is the build quality of the laptop. I need this to last at least my 4 years of college and it...

You have a lot of good options, might I be so bold as to suggest another. This is an ITX build so noise shouldn't be an issue. The build is a bit expensive but you can swap out parts and go for cheaper ones. The ones given are a bit more than what you need anyways. I should mention that you will...

I can suggest a really good PC that can play more than just diablo for $1000 but before that I will need to know what you mean by silent. Different people have different levels of noise they are comfortable with. I run 2 MSI gtx 970 in a midtower case (HAF 922) and 3 big fans. Under full load I...

Voltages in BIOS are within error, is it possible that the PSU is cutting off power under increased system loads? But that wouldn't make any sense because the monitors turn off after firestrike and not during. Or is the PSU ok and its something else?

Like the title says, my monitors have started to randomly go black. What seems to be happening is that they lose their signal coming from the graphics card. The remainder of the computer seems to be working fine, the fans are running, light are on.This has been the latest of the issues I have...

The reason I got 750W was because I will overclock the 2 970s as well. So I just doubled their TDP since I don't know exactly how much power they will draw but I doubt it will be double their TDP since I won't be pushing them to the limit. So based off of what you said about a single radiator...

I did go over the sticky a while back but I haven't done any calculations yet. The reason for this is that for now I just needed to get a rough idea of the amount of space I need. But it seems I am getting some conflicting opinions here so I will do some calculations and post the results here so...

Excellent. Thank you. I should be fine budget wise, I can always put off the 4th radiator until I have enough money. This was mostly to figure out how much space I need for the radiators because that is something I cannot change after everything's been built. Thank you for helping me out.

I plan on doing everything myself. Half the fun comes from putting everything together. Any idea if 3 radiators will be enough for overclocking everything simultaneously or do I need another?

I can't say for sure as to whether your system is properly working but water can absorb a lot of heat without changing temperature by much (water has very high specific heat). I haven't gotten to water cooling myself yet but from my research, the temperature difference in the water should only...

I am running an i7 4770k with two gtx 970 in sli. As someone who appreciates computers, I want to water cool and overclock these. The way things are going right now, I may end up building a radiator box inside my computer desk. However, space is an issue and I don't think I will be able to fit...
