I have just purchased a ROG gtx 1080 Strix, and when I try to install the drivers for the card I get this error: https://images.drivereasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Fix-nvidia-installer-failed-2.jpg I had this error since before I bought the card, on my EVGA 1060, but since I didn't...

Im in the market for a new display, and most of the displays I see that are above 60hz have freesync. Being an Nvidia gpu user, would I be able to use those higher refresh rates if I cant use freesync? or are freesync and refresh rates completely unrelated. I'm looking at a 144hz monitor and it...

(hopefully these image tags work) okay I checked the BIOS and this is what it showed for the CPU fan, both CPU 1 and 2. that looks like a normal curve to me so i'm not sure why it would be overheating And this is what it showed for system fans, all 3 looked like this. it doesnt look right...

Thanks a ton for your answer, I have decided to buy a new case so that I can use ATX instead of micro ATX. The case I was using is HP so the motherboard would not have fit anyway, due to non industry standard standoff placement, I had to learn that the hard way. It's good to know there wont be...

Thanks nigel, if it doesn't fit I'll just have to get a new case.

So i have an hp phoenix h9 1215t, which uses a micro atx 9.6" x 9.6" motherboard, and I will soon be upgrading to a 9.6" x 8.7" motherboard. I know the board will fit in the computer but I need to know if the standoff locations in most hp cases will match my new board. Thanks in advance

Hi all, First post on this site so I apologize if I trip on any etiquette you may have here, I did read the rules. I'm asking about multiple pc parts but they're all questions regarding connections to the motherboard, so sorry if this is in the wrong place Anyway, I'm very new to pc building...
