Hello. For the past couple weeks, I have had a minor graphical glitch in The Division. It seems to be lighting related. It doesn't hinder FPS or gameplay, but it happens just enough to be a minor distraction. Every so often, I will have random points of light start to flicker on my screen...

Hello. I was recently given a Pioneer 5.1 receiver as a gift (link to the web page below). Before I was given this, I have been using my Kanto YU2 studio monitors w/ a subwoofer (using the YU2's sub out) as a daily driver for both games and music via USB. The left speaker is active and the...

I have a Thermaltake core X71 with a total of 10 corsair sp120 quiet edition fans (3-pin). Does anybody know of a fan hub which will allow me to connect all 10 fans, while being able to control the RPM through the motherboard bios? Preferably with a molex or sata connection for stable power. If...

Hi, hi, hi. I've had an EVGA Supernova 1300w G2 for about 3 years. The fan has always been the loudest in my case by far. But recently, it has started to squeak - only making matters worse. I am thinking about (carefully) opening up my PSU and replacing it with a quieter fan with similar...

I highly recommend you wait for AMD Vega cards to be launched - which will be very soon. They will have cards that directly compete with the 1070 and 1080. Even if you decide to go with an NVIDIA card anyways, there's a good chance the price will drop on them.

I have an EK full cover block for my (founder's) 1080 w/ a backplate. The backplate will only be able to mount onto the PCB when the actual waterblock is installed. The screws pass down through the backplate, then straight through holes on the PCB and thread directly into the block. I'm 99% sure...

Hi, hi, hi. I received an XSPC slim 480mm radiator as a gift from a friend of mine. I'm currently running a rig with two Bitspower Leviathan slim 360mm radiators (30mm thick), cooling a GPU and CPU. If I added this 480mm radiator, would a single EK DDC 3.2 PWM pump be able to reasonably handle...

Air cooling is the cheapest and lowest risk cooling solution. I assume you already knew that though. If you want to do low-risk water cooling as a beginner, AIO (all in one) coolers like the Corsair H or NZXT Kraken products will be the most forgiving. It's a great middle ground between a full...

My founder's GTX 1080 (with an EK full cover block) hits an upwards of 70c under load. It is overclocked +200 on memory and core, no voltage tweaks. Is it just me or is this temperature waaaaaay too high? Context is below. Thank you everybody ahead of time. This is a single CPU and GPU loop...

I've had a Qnix 2710 Evolution II @ 110hz for 4-5 years now and would like a change. Would it be worth selling the Qnix and buying this monitor ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-27-led-gsync-monitor-black/5293502.p?skuId=5293502 ) to upgrade my gaming display? Would the higher cost be worth...

I'm about to fill my first custom loop and was wondering whether or not I should unplug other components receiving power. Thank you!
