I have a Sound Blaster Rx/5 that runs my 5.1 surround sound home theater system and was wondering if the Creative ALchemy program that came with it does anything beneficial. I use Windows 10 64-bit Home and if there's any other info that would be helpful I could give let me know. Thanks for your...

I'm trying to play Rome I Total War and Medieval 2 Total War and neither will let me use my Sound Blaster Audigy Rx/5's EAX features it says "The sound provider could not be contacted, this could be due to a lack of hardware support." However, I know for a fact my current Audigy at least...

I need to replace the mobo, but there is nowhere stocking the same model I can find. I have a list of some alternatives, but as I know it you cannot transfer the OEM Win 7 license to another mobo. This still true? Current mobo is the Gigabyte GA H87 HD3. I talked to ms support and they said...

Hi folks, Basically need a discrete GPU to potentially deal with some driver issues between my intel HD4600 and software audio plugins (going to test this with buying a random card from Best Buy or the like to make sure it's the problem). Looking for something for a decent cost/performance...

So I'm upgrading my water cooling build and I was just wondering how could I tell before buying a gpu if it had reference pcb or not. I have a few options in my mind and I'm planning to plant a Watercool water block on the card. Waterblock...
