I'm getting a new wireless headset. The headset itself is fine but the microphone quality is a little lacking. I don't really want to go and buy a mod-mic wireless because they're ridiculously expensive. I was wondering if it was possible to plug in another microphone dongle into the headset...

Games such as For Honor and apex legends have been giving me such a hard time. For example i could be playing a game and get a Massive 5-20 second lag spike. But after that i would be normal until it happens again. I've tried *Restaring everything (Modem router and computer) * changing Ethernet...

Hi. So, earlier today I unmounted my Corsair H110i to wash the radiator out, which I have done before, and never had issues with. This was partly because it was dirty, and partly because I wanted to apply some new thermal compound (I was using some really crappy stuff and bought better). Now...

My laptop crashes. The first time it crashed was 3 or so months back, after that it used to crash very rarely, so I paid no mind to it. Last month, it got to the point that it crashes every time I run a game, it crashes after about ten minutes. I was able to use the laptop for my other works...

I already have a white HyperX Fury 8GB 2666Mhz (HX426C16FW2/8) memory stick, and now I'm interested in buying another one, the red HyperX Fury 8GB 2666Mhz (HX426C16FR2/8). Both share the same specifications on HyperX's website, except the heatsink color. I'm almost sure, but would like to know...

LGA 775 processors are lacking some modern instructions, such as AVX. I always feel people always neglect the instructions of a processor over the performance of a chip.
