I have this issue with my Iiyama ProLite B2206WS... http://imgur.com/a/3W5ZH In the first picture I just selected the first submenu. The options inside it look white (usable). When I ENTER that submenu though (2nd pic), all the options turn grey - I can't do anything. The same happens in...

Hi so I'm creating a build for a friend and we put together this after working with him for some time. What do you guys think? We are trying to make it the best for the money and also make it look good but he'd rather have performance. Any Suggestions? PCPartPicker part list...

Hi, I am wondering if I need to upgrade anything in my PC or is there another problem with it. I am asking this because I haven't been able to play newer games even on lowest setting (ex: Far Cry 4), and I am looking forward to playing GTA V when it'll be out, so this might be a problem :pfff...

Hey! I have a question. Yesterday I changed up my fan settings to make it spin at it's lowest level when the temperature goes up to +40C. And most of the time, when I'm browsing and programming the temperature is at +40C and that makes the fan run almost constantly. Is that bad for the fan? Thanks!

I'm preparing to build my own gaming pc. Here is the part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/tk37dC I was wondering whether I will need to buy a separate fan/cooling system/radiator for this build? I haven't decided if I'm going to overclock yet so that will need to be factored in.

Hello all,i recently start building a new gaming pc,i5-4460,sapphire r9 280 dual-x,hdd and one ssd.I did a stupid thing and bought a noname psu (this one http://www.e-shop.gr/deer-de146xd-550w-psu-p-PER.641607 with 2 years warranty) and now I am bumped cause I can't afford buying a new one.I...

So I moved my computer room to room, and a couple days later I would experience these weird crashes. The computer would stay on but there would be no display, no sound, and I believe the computer would make a noise like a reboot. I think what happened is my psu cable touched my memory stick, and...

So I'm using a GTX 970 MSI Twin Frozr V Golden Edition, and I've wanted to test my fans, since they're 0db capable. However when I set my fan curve on MSI Afterburner to have the fan constantly on (lets say 50%), the fan speed on the GPU keeps hopping from 0 to 50 and 0 again, and repeat. What...

I am not sure for where you guys live, but in Australia Microsoft has put out ads comparing a macbook air to a surface pro 3. This is also shown on their website. However, I think the arguments the bring up and useless and invalid points. Firstly, the Surface Pro 3 might be advertised as...

I thought of a great idea! Can someone help me make this work? I thought that maybe I could get a very small battery powered monitor with an HDMI port and mount it onto a PS3 or PS4 or XBOX 360 or XBOX ONE controller and a wireless HDMI cable and put the wireless HDMI cable into the small...

I'm not sure how to take videos on my asus aspire one netbook. How do i do it? Am I able to just open a program that's already on the computor or do I hae to download something myself? If I have to download something, what is the best program to download?

Hey guys my friend has offered me this PC for a price I am willing to pay should it be able to run games such as DayZ,Battlefield and Minecraft. The specs are below: AMD A10-6800K Quad Core APU (4.4GHz) & Radeon™ HD 8670D Graphics ASUS® A88XM-PLUS: (M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, 6Gb/s) 8GB KINGSTON...

I want to get a AIO water cooler for my pc. I want it to fit into my zalman z11 plus. I was thinking about an H100i but i dont know wether it wil fit. If it doesnt or needs fo much modding, are there other dual rad water coolers which will fit?

I've just bought a pre overclockd bundle comprising Intel Core i5 4690K clocked & tested to 4.6Ghz, Asus Z97-A board, 2x 4GB Corsair Vengance Pro 2133MHz I'm using the following with it: OCZ GSX 600w PSU 2x Nvidia GTS 8800 SLI (old, I know!) 1x 128GB Sandisc SSD 1x 64GB Crucial SSD 2x DVD-RW...

Tried today to fit a h80i on to a mATX board (not clever) and unsurprisingly it didn't fit. Using the rear 120mm mount, once you have fit both fans and the radiator, the last fan almost covers the entire of the CPU giving no chance of fitting. I've tried the top mounts but to no avail. My...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WDNcBm Note that I am just upgrading my video card, CPU, and PSU to the ones on that list. I already have all the other components. Any suggestions for parts would be awesome!

If i have big heatsink cpu cooler like the Noctua NH D-14 that blows air right into the rear, how would i position the 2 140mm on the roof/top of my case? Intake or Exhaust? PS: i have a blower type gtx 770(Zotac) if that matters..

Hi all, I have all of my components figured out except for the case. I need a case in the $150-$160 category (my budget could stretch a little), and I am currently deciding between the urban t81 and the enthoo luxe. Which case is better, or is there another case out there that outclasses both...

So I just built this: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/wxccCJ And I'm looking for some games people want to see the performance of on it. I've got it hooked up to a 1080p monitor, so that's what I'll run the games at most likely. Please suggest me some games you want to see the FPSs on. Currently...

As shocking as this might sound , it got me up on my feet too. Now seriously, of what little knowledge i have, i'm fully dependent on benchmarks, at least with my preferred CPU. I've been looking towards the FX 8350 - R9 combo, and this has turned out very awkward. Based on the benchmarks I...

Hi Forum, I'm currently in the process of changing from old i7 920 and mobo to a newer setup http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/wMZpmG My hope was to save my current OEM copy of WIN7 64-bit running on my HDD and move/re install it to the SSD I plan to purchase. I understand that samsung provide a...

I have noticed my PSU making some noises when playing games, the noise is like a cricket noise/ clicking. I have check all my voltages and they are in line with what the safe ranges say. I have also had 0 performance issues with my rig. It just seems to make noise. The PSU was bought on Jan 9/...

Hey, I am saving up for my first build and have made a list of components that I think look good and would make a decent gaming pc. As far as I'm aware all components are compatible with each other. Any improvements or money saving tips would be nice! Haven't got much spare money due to wanting...
