    Hardware or driver issue?

    It looks like it may be a problem with the motherboard, but I'm willing to deal with it, since it only takes a few seconds for it to recognize the GPU. I just need to learn to be more patient.

    Hardware or driver issue?

    When I first built my computer, the motherboard (MSI B250M Mortar) had no problem detecting the GPU (an Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8G), but now, it won't read the GPU unless I cut the power via the power supply, restart it, and turn the computer back on. Any ideas?

    Looking for case fan help

    Alright..if that's the case, I'll scrap the extra fans for now, as I've rarely gotten above 60C with my outdated Walmart desktop.

    Looking for case fan help

    I have a Fractal Designs Define Mini C case, and I want to hook up two fans to my graphics card and have them pull air into the case from the top mounting area. What I need to know before I buy the fans and card is if it's even worth the trouble, since, from what I've read, the case fans will...

    Feel free to close this thread..turns out I managed to bend some pins in the CPU socket, among other places.

    CPU start fail

    Not sure if this is being caused by my CPU or PSU, but when I start up my computer (hand built), the CPU troubleshooting LED on the motherboard flashes, and everything stops working (case fans spin for as second, stop, then start back up and repeat the cycle). How do I fix this issue?

    Case Fan scavenger hunt

    I'm not actually planning on using a radiator..it's the dual fan setup within a radiator that I'm interested in. The board I'm using only has 2 fan headers, so I want to make the most of the header for the front fan, with the 120mm included with the case as the back fan.

    Case Fan scavenger hunt

    My case has two stock 120mm fans included (front and back). What I want to do is remove the front fan and replace it with the type of fan setup you'd get from the radiator for a liquid cooling system, but use that as an intake instead. Are there any fans out there that would meet this goal (two...

    Motherboard decision issues

    Right now, I have an MSI H110M Gaming board, and I'm planning to use an i5-7600k. My question is this: am I better off in the long run updating the BIOS on the H110, or getting a 200-series board that can run Kaby-Lake out of the box? Also, if I do upgrade to the 200 series, do I go with a 250...
