@CountMike Thank you!

Hello Folks! I am finally looking to upgrade from my aging Intel 6950x . I was initially looking at the new AMD 5975wx because of the higher core count (I work as a developer) but I am thinking that this might still be a massive overkill. I do occasionally game but my work is my main use case...

tsnor - Thank you for replying. No my monitor does now have a Digital out / In. It does however have 3.5mm in and another 3.5mm out for headphones. I guess I could chain them like you suggested. I will give that a try to see if it's better than Audio Router. Though Audio Router seems to have...

Hello boosted1g, Indeed - I have a HDMI / DVI adapter. I have the 3.5 mm connected to my Razer Keyboard and I use my earphones about 90% of the time. I sometimes have to entertain our 1 year old which is when I use the monitor speakers. I might invest in a proper set of speakers in the future...

TLDR: Is it at all possible to split the audio output into two streams - HDMI and DVI? Details : I have two Dell 27 inch monitors ( S2715 ) with built-in speakers. I have a MSI Gaming X 1070 graphics card and I am connecting both monitors using HDMI for the first one and DVI for the second. I...

I don't know what exactly it was but removing the RAM chips and reseating them seems to have fixed the odd issue. Interestingly when I contacted MSI support - their advice was to simply return the board to them for a replacement. I am not sure if I should just do that or hold on to this one...

So I finally have all the parts I wanted for my Rig and I set about trying to assemble it over the weekend. In the end when I powered up my PC - she ran for 2 seconds are less before rebooting constantly (boot loop). The motherboard has a debug counter. It does from 04 - Power on North Bridge...

Thanks guys. @Acapella : I have a pretty useless Dell Latitude laptop from work and it basically takes 20 minutes for my VMs to boot up and our local hardware guru suggested that it is because the laptop is severely limited by the lack of RAM (8 GB). I have an oracle 12 instance running inside...

Hello guys, So I am getting my new rig together. I don't have a whole lot of disposable income at the moment, so I figured I would get the components that would let me expand later but not limit me right now. This is my config as I have it now (parts ordered yesterday) Intel i7- 6800K...

Hello again, Thank you. I think I am going to get a Raijentek Triton (simply for the aesthetics) though eventually once I have read up about custom cooling loops I will invest in a more permanent solution. I have followed your advice and I have downloaded MSI Afterburner - seems quite similar...

I am unsure as to how I can do that. I have 3 fans in the front and 1 at the back. The top of the case currently doesn't have any fans. There are 4 PCI slots and the video card occupies two. The other two are occupied by my hard drives. Would adding two more fans to the top of the case help? I...

Cheers for that! I was a bit concerned about the temps because my previous card ( AMD 7970 ) never got that warm. But I am glad to know that my card isn't faulty and the temps are normal!
