Hi
I read everywhere that lower resolution such as 1080p requires more CPU power than higher resolution such as 1440p. Honestly that's a concept that i can't wrap my mind around, so i'm asking for clarification about it. When playing at same refresh rate (let's say 60hz), it just seem intuitive...
Hello, I am upgrading my PC and as I took my old i7-4790K out, there is something on two pins (see the attached picture). It looks like a thermal paste to me but how in the world would it get there? I used the classic pea method when applying it. I did not put too much I think.
The PC actually...
Asus Turbo GTX 1070 vs Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX 1080. Which one is more with it? I don’t plan on gaming at anything higher than 1080p currently. But I want to be able to max out most games and record with Shadowplay too.
I currently have an Intel Core i7-4790K which has PCIe 3.0 x16, which I assume will be used for my GTX 1080 ti.
My mobo H97M Pro4 offers 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16, 2 PCI.
I currently have 4 SSD's and would like to add 2 HDD's in raid 0 (with a raid controller card). I read an article that...
I plan on getting a new graphics card soon, with the release of the 20 series of Nvidia GPUs I plan on maybe getting the 2080 or possibly going back to the 1080ti. Because of this I also want to upgrade my display to an ultra wide monitor at 1440p...but the problem I've found is most monitors...

I’m building a new computer right now. However, when I load my mobo’s BIOS, (MSI X470 Gaming Plus), it doesn’t recognize the M.2 even though I already inserted it into the motherboard. Also, Windows 10 installation media couldn’t recognize it as well. I have no other form of storage besides the...

We have a DYMO 450 label printer hooked up by USB to a Dell computer running Windows 7 that randomly prints out a huge dump log. If you un-install / re-install the drivers, it works for a while, then does the same thing after a couple of days. Has anyone run into a similar issue?
I am entirely new to building PCs and only have a slight understanding of part specs. I made a build that is within my price range ($1500) but I would like some honest opinions on my part choices from people more experienced than myself before buying. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vMgn6s
